REVIEW TO A KILL Episode 15 - The Living Daylights

[@queenicolumbo4857]

Great debut from Dalton. Fantastic song (the AHA one) and an exciting opening sequence. While I agree that Kara is one of the better written 'Bond girl' characters, I find her annoying! My favourite scene is the kitchen fight. Surely an inspiration for the Bourne films? It's just brilliant, so well choreographed. Loved Necros. A 'Jackal' type assassin with 'Man Who Fell to Earth' vibes. I think the fact that the tube Koskov is travelling through has angles is a gag in itself. 😂 Thank you for the Pingu t shirt James, far too generous of you! ps best goddam parrot impression I've ever heard! 2025: Licence to Kill, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig, can't wait! Happy New Year. 😊

The girl, who Bond dropped in to give the good news to, was on the phone to "Margo". Allegedly the Eon in-joke was Margo was Princess Margaret on the other end of the line enjoying one life in her gin palaces.

That so called annoying bit of Cello is a section of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor. It took me a while to get used to, but it's now my favourite Cello concerto - you have to hear it with the full orchestra. In fact, I have feeling Christina's character owes something to Jacqueline Du Pre, one of the most famous, expressive and wonderful Cellists to perform it. Cello was my first instrument, hence the geeky knowledge on the subject!

Well that’s me humbled! Also I was being a complete hypocrite as I like some very out there jazz (Mingus’s Black Saint and the Sinner Lady being my favourite). Merry Christmas Howard. Hope you’re doing well, sir.

Merry Christmas to you. Cheers for continuing to endure us. Love James and Tom.

@@LuxuryTedium Cheers, same to you both, Daylights was my first 007 film at the cinema, Timothy was the perfect book version. I think the film belongs just below From Russia With Love on your listing myself, it's special to me. I hope you will discuss the Third Tim film that never was- Property of a Lady, which never happened, and how he nearly did Goldeneye, but then didn't want to do anymore after that.

This is my favorite Bond movie now but I'm glad I didn't see it as a kid, because I wouldn't have been able to follow it at all. No way could I have grasped the idea of embezzling Russian money for a weapons deal to do a drug deal and getting the money back to make that original weapons deal.

Yeah it's quite a crazy plot to follow I watched it as a kid and found it hard to follow because of that but it's now in my top ten bond films.
