The Living Daylights Soundtrack Inflight Fight

Music by John Barry.

[@busydad4858]

Can’t stop listening!

[@kallelaakso130]

It’s just so absolutely cool how barry combined that groovy electronic drum beat and a classy orchestra

[@jamesbyrne9312]

Great point. Genius for sure

[@varanid9]

It always fascinated me how, with this soundtrack, Barry was able to use a contemporary sound to revive echos of '60s cool in a film where the Bond actor was channeling his inner Connery. Even the horns are reminiscent of the raunchy note from "Goldfinger" without imitating it. And he was one of the pioneer orchestral film composers combining traditional instruments with electronics decades before Hans Zimmer. Awesome as Zimmer is, his music often sounds like itcan be used in any film, while Barry's definitely follows a motif unique to the movie it's in.

[@Year2047]

Probably my favorite Bond Soundtrack. Dalton was completely underrated. It was a shame we didn't get more of him.

[@Xayjohns]

Agreed

[@theimaster6440]

yeah i think he was as good as Daniel craig.

[@drc1981]

I've always said the same thing. The late Desmond Lleweyn even said Dalton was the most accurate portrayal of Bond.

[@1223jamez]

I love Daniel Craig, but it was Timothy Dalton who took the Bond serious and brought it back to life. Roger Moore was too goofy!

[@Xayjohns]

Elmer Fudd At least in For Your Eyes Only, he was better.

[@amarsbarr]

John Barry's work in all the Bond films was simply superb and something of a mastery level.

[@Nig0]

This film contains some best Bond tunes in whole film series. Even Necros likes to listen this on repeat on his Walkman.

Yes, just... not the best villain, heh. If this movie had had someone the calibre of Goldfinger or Scaramanga, it would be damn near perfection.

[@PetersonZF]

John Barry had that magical sprinkle of gold dust that has never been bettered

[@TromaDogg]

Watched this again a couple of nights ago. This is an absolutely awesome track. It turns what was already a great final confrontation between Bond and Necros into an epic one.

[@Spartan536]

I really wish Timothy Dalton starred in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, with John Glen as director, that movie would have been fantastic. That movie was about the beginning of Bond's pain and sorrow something that Dalton captured perfectly.

[@Shadowman820]

OHMSS would have also been a good movie had Connery been in it .

[@jwg5774]

@Spartan0536 Dalton was approached about playing Bond in OHMSS. He said that he felt at the time that he was too young and too inexperienced to do the role justice. Ironic in a way because when he was approached about returning for Goldeneye he told Broccoli that he felt he was too old to continue playing the role.

[@srujan00]

If not there, he definitely should've started with For Your Eyes Only - let Moore walk after the absurd Moonraker. Seeing Dalton opposite Walken in A View to a Kill would've been great.

[@kevinbrooks7139]

Barry's best post-60s Bond score. His innovative use of electronica and drum machines recalls the Moog-driven OHMSS (his best IMHO...). He evidently had fun with this one. Not to mention Chrissie Hynde's fantastic song collaborations with JB.

[@netako]

Man, this song was so ahead of its time...

[@KiwiGraggle]

I liked the Audi 200 Turbo he used in this film I think. Rare as rocking horse poop those Audi 200 Turbo's, brilliant car in its era.

[@ToreDL87]

We have nothing to declare!

[@CometaVermelho89]

@anissueofursincerity Yes! The action scenes were all masterfully crafted by hand, they used optical illusions, smaller scaled props, for car chases and such they hired the best stuntmen/women, fine tuned the vehicles... It's good remembering that. In the lack of computers humankind used it's creativity at it's finest! Cheers.

Listen to Necros scream as he falls from the plane. Is it the same sound bite as when the moustachioed pilot loses his parachute to Bond in the opening credits of Moonraker?

[@stuartlongley2446]

It's a John Glen trademark. It's in Moonraker, Octopussy, View to a Kill and Living Daylights. Same with the pigeons coming out of nowhere when Bond is in stealth mode!

[@PhilJohn1980]

[@kimmolaine8069]

N-no..!!

[@zevman1985]

Necros is one of the best Bond villains. His one man attack on the MI6 compund alone puts him up there, but his ability to fight hand to hand and match Bond physically gives him an edge few other Bond villains have.

[@bonnienasiry2652]

I completely agree, there are two of scenes of his which is my favourite. This one, and him vs green four the MI6 agent in the kitchen, probably my favourite fight in the series.

John Berry's Bond music is generally characterized as a jazzed up version of Russian influenced music. This song is quite representative of it. I rather like it.

[@RandalBauer11]

Necros' scream is actually a stock sound effect that the filmmakers used for awhile to denote whenever a baddie fell to their deaths.

[@1223jamez]

It was the same scream in Moonraker in the pre credits and when the guy was thrown out of the blimp in AVTAK.

[@srujan00]

"AVTAK" .... good name for a company. What would they do.... bury toxic waste, or something?

[@billa107]

[@peachees4572]

TD was my fav. Tall, Dark, and handsome! Charming, passionate, and cold blooded if necessary to get the job done. Connery was classic but the special effects are very dated. Moore had some charm but was too old. Then there was the bond that nobody remembers. Brosnan was too nonphysical carry the torch. Craig had potential but is too imperonal, robotic. The living daylight soundtrack is definitely exciting in the 80s vibe. License to kill was also a great followup. Wish Dalton had done at least 1 more bond but his hair was thinning and he knew the press would have a field day with that.

[@IkeenlightI]

Salt corrosion...

Where's the usual man?

[@andrewroberts1258]

Coincidentally Tim was actually the one they wanted to replace Sean back in the late 60s but Dalton turned it down because he was only 21 and didn't want to replace Sean, so I think Timothy should be renowned in the eyes of a lot people because he was looked at the role twice in his life, personally I think the then 21 year old should have just taken it and saved us from the visual debauchery that was Moore with all due respect to his fans.

[@speedypaul2314]

[@maertin2]

John Rooney I don't necessarily like NSNA, in fact I feel that Sean Connory was kind of back stabbing the industry by making a bond film the same time octopussy came out. I bought this movie just so I could be well rounded

[@IlliterateIdiot]

joseph martin Sean Connery and a Walther P5, that's all I want and yes he may be stabbing the industry in the precious area but the film was named after the fact that Connery said he would never do another bond film.

This was Barry’s last Bond movie and he left the franchise on a high note. The Necros motif is so incredible badass that even Necros himself listens to it when he kills people. The last thing his victims hear is “Wheeeere has everybody gone?”. He’s a bad dude, and this tune proves it.
