THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS | Aston Martin V8
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2020
- “I’ve had a few optional extras installed.” Bond utilises the Aston Martin V8’s array of gadgets in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (1987). Stunt Supervisor Chris Corbould said: “We had to fire the Aston Martin up a ramp to go over the hut. Because of the extreme cold on the first attempt, rather than firing off like mad the car just went ‘blump’ straight into the side of the hut. It was a total disaster.”

Timothy Dalton deserves much more recognition as 007.
This movie and "Licence to kill" are amazing.
Oh, indeed. Sanchez also happen to be my favorite Bond villain.
I like this one better.
i totally agree
I agree
@@heavygamer93 - "What do I do with the money?" "Launder it." 🤣🤣🤣
Dalton was a huge fan of the books so played it close to what was written, especially in Licence to Kill. He was excellent and I wish he had made more
Licence to Kill wasn't based on a book, though
@@kylep3514 It had alot of stuff taken from The Hildebrand Legacy and the bit where Felix gets fed to the shark and the battle in the warehouse is from the book of Live and Let Die.
He took the Role Serioulsly hes my fav immediately after sean connery,And like you said,He was a fan of the Books ,He even demanded that they write his movie contract that he has right to smoke cigarettes just like real Bond did at those Books. :-)
@@lihaniska87 35 anniversary now , another milestone.......thanks to Tim , Maryam , John Barry & Aha (among many others) who realized this wonderful movie
He was supposed to get a third movie in 1991
I’m so glad Timothy has a fanbase these days. His darker take on Bond was ahead of his time. It’s sad he doesn’t have a third film, but we are glad we do have two fine films with him in.
Dalton walked so Craig could run.
I grew up watching his Bond, so I was glad to see him in Doom Patrol and Penny Dreadful
I didn't care for him at the time coming off Roger Moore, but looking back, I'd rate him just below Connery.
@@lesigh1749 I rate him above Connery
@@mateuszmarciniak2828 Me too! THE most under-rated Bond of all time.
I prefer Dalton over Craig.
Craig era is boring and bland.
Possibly the most criminally underrated Bond film.
I feel that way about Moonraker. I think it gets a ridiculous amount of hate.
Yea cause Moonraker deserves its not a bond film is ridiculous and stupid
@@jameshanley8465 I'd watch it over Quantum of Solace any day.
I think For Your Eyes Only is criminally underrated.
@@WH250398 Sorry but I totally disagree.
Timothy Dalton is particularly good in this sequence. The one liners are delivered impeccably.
The way he deadpans them makes it even more amusing. Not forced like some of Moore's.
@@strikerdelta To be fair, the gags were Moore's best aspect. In my opinion, he never failed to deliver them well. However, Dalton wasn't a natural with the humour, yet he is on par with Brosnan with the one-liners - I may actually prefer Dalton over Brosnan doing them.
He did get to deliver the single best one liner in Bond history. "I gave him the boot."
I’m sure the Director, the Stuntmen, the Orchestra and the Editors didn’t hurt. Dalton also performed quite well, but it ain’t just him!
Yes! Dalton's dialogue with the Women, was like a stoic Lawyer babysitting a toddler, trying not to cuss. Lmao
The V8 vantage is probably my favourite bond car. The car itself is beautiful, seemingly england's answer to the ford mustang, and all of the gadgets are really fun. Plus it has Dalton behind the wheel which is a huge point in its favour
The v8 vantage was eventually introduced in 1977 and I would say, that car have a little bit of lifespan
Love the V8 Vantage. I was so happy when they made a new one, which is fabulous as well. But I prefer the old one
It's great unless you own one....Aston Martin really needed to retool their factory. Timing gasket covers replacements, constant clutch repairs, engine start issues and water leaks coupled with breathtaking hourly labour charges from the shop - you are much better off with a Porsche.
DB5 in silver opalescent is unbeatable.
@@TansuTansu2 of course, if you want the true king of "cars that are cool as fuck but are terrible to own", you need to look no further than the DeLorean. Because the DeLorean company went out of business so quickly, finding replacement parts for the thing is a fucking NIGHTMARE, although thankfully companies have been started up offering new reproduction replacement parts and repair services.
Dalton deserved a 3rd Bond film.
I heard he was offered goldeneye but turned it down because of his age Dalton should have at least stared with a view to a kill
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey For Your Eyes Only would of suited Dalton a lot better for a debut. Get rid of Bibi Dahl, dump the parrot and Thatcher scene, find a better Kristatos and you’d have a solid debut.
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey A View to a Kill would've been perfect for Dalton as Duran Duran did the theme which fits him better than Moore.
Some production financial problems aborted Dalton's third and last Bond movie in 92 or 93, the lost Bond film. By 1995 Dalton was too old.
@@Aguz25 Dalton was 48 years old in 94 when he decided to resign from the role while filming a miniseries and was ready to move on after a nearly 5 year hiatus in filming of any Bond films after Licence To Kill. They were supposed to release a Bond film in 91 and would have been Daltons 3rd film but it was halted due to legal issues preventing any Bond films from being produced. Dalton resigned in 94 stating he didn’t want to commit to multi picture deal after Goldeneye. Pierce Brosnan took over in 94 and started filming Goldeneye which was released in 95.
When you consider that this isn’t even the best scene in the film and it’s still amazing, that’s how good the living daylights is!
One of the best Bonds ever. So much better than the Craig tenure....
Savage film
@@davidnolan6162 funny how your surname is nolan and even christopher nolan thinks that the living daylights is an excellent film
@@floro3733 I know.my first cousin is called Christopher Nolan
@@yvesandrethevenot3489 casino royale is the only time craig came close and I’d argue that in that movie he was trying to be like dalton
Dalton is the most underrated Bond ever - if it weren’t for the legal issues in the early 90’s, he would of done at least two more Bond films before signing off. Still, it’s great to see him getting the credit he so rightfully deserves.
Completely agree, but his original contract was for three films and that's exactly how many he wanted to do. He was willing to do Goldeneye but left after Cubby Broccoli tried to pin him down for three more movies from that point on. It's a damn shame. Goldeneye with Dalton would have been amazing.
@@AaronStark1993 If they'd got him earlier, A View to a Kill with Dalton would have been amazing too.
@@paulrichardson9843 i laugh when Laz claims he was gonna sign a 7 picture contract , not even established actors like Moore did that
@@AaronStark1993 it also had to do with too much time having passed or so Tim felt : it was 1994 and Tim had been waiting since '89 but due to the rights issue it was never to be.......
Would’ve made sense though based on the timeline. On average, they generally did a movie every 2 years so Daylights in 87, License in 89, and then potentially another in 91 and 93, and Goldeneye with Brosnan in 95. If only. Either way, if Dalton had done a fourth or Brosnan did one before Goldeneye, I’d be happy.
One of the best scenes in the franchise. And John Barry’s score for this film is sublime.
And it’s not even the best scene in the film. What a great debut for Dalton. Maybe the best!
this was John Barry’s final Bond film where he composes the score
Absolutely. Barry's score for this movie- his last for a Bond - was both majestic and inventive. A masterpiece.
John Barry was a genius.
My god, that Aston is a thing of beauty! The gadgets make it look all the meaner.
And the hubcap lasers were an update of the DB5 tire slashers.
The V8 Vantage is for me what the DB5 was for my dad.
I was just a kid in the 1980s - I realize now it is a terrible shame Dalton didn't have more movies.
It wasn’t his fault the long delays in production for any Bond films for nearly 5 years frustrated Dalton and by the time Goldeneye was greenlit, Dalton was ready to move on to other projects. He announced his resignation from playing Bond in 1994 officially as was ready to move on and didn’t want to commit to multi picture deal after Goldeneye when was 48 years old by then. Pierce Brosnan took over the role. A bond film in 91 was supposed to be released but it never happened and would have starred Timothy Dalton.
I think Roger Moore should have get out after doing Moonraker
@@scottknode898 Was just about to ask why and you come up clutch with the details. Thank you.
Yeah. I didn't "get it" for awhile, myself. Maybe it's an age thing but he just gets better and better in the role with time.
At least some RUclips channels that talk about the character rate his two movies in the top 5. I love both of them although I like Licence to kill a bit more than Living Daylights. I think Kara and Pam Bouvier (from Licence to kill) were some of the hottest Bond girls of the 80s and 90s.
The 80s are greater than ever. Fit men and women, glorious cars, amazing products and beautiful music
we got cheated out of more Dalton 80s bond. Fun, but not too much camp. Very cool Bond. Plus that music makes this 10/10
To me, Dalton is more like the Bond of the books. More gritty, tougher, moody. No one liners and raised eyebrows. He was hugely underrated.
"He got the booooot...!"
And Bond had a lot of self-doubt in the books from time to time. That almost never makes it into the films but Dalton was probably the most vulnerable so far.
Facts
Its the one liners that I watched all the Connery Moore Brosnan movies over and over .
This particular scene is full to the brim of one liners 😅
Timothy Dalton was a great Bond. Wish he did his third movie, because he was realing starting to rock in "License To Kill".
Starting to rock ? I had the the feeling Dalton was rocking from the moment his face was unveiled in the pre opening credits of this movie itself.
Goldeneye was originally written for Dalton's Bond from what I understand.
That movie sucked.....cheaply made and poorly scripted.
Timothy Dalton was Daniel Craig but in the wrong era.
@@marx007100 lol, licence to kill is considered a top 10 bond movie by many people
John Barry's score with Timothy in Aston Martin car chase. Doesn't get better than this.
That s true
This is probably my fave Bond movie. Dalton is great and I love the John Barry score.
I agree, it is a shame that John Barry did not get a nomination at the Oscars for this score. I have it on CD and its defiantly some of his best work out of the 11 films in the James Bond series he scored in my humble opinion.
Sadly the last Barry soundtrack.

Best car extras ever
Don't forget the bullet proof glass.
@@strikerdelta You forgot the self tuning radio. That was massive tech in 1986!
It gives the Lotus a run for its money.
How do I install these on my car?
And a Cello.
“They’re looking for a foreign car, a man and a woman.”
“And a cello.”
XD. Didn’t realize the cello was a character too, lol
In the previous scene, Bond helps Kara escape KGB surveillance and as he's driving quickly out of the city, she demands they go back to get her cello. There's a great little edit joke there, going back for it against his wishes, and in this scene here that's why he says "And a cello..." with mild annoyance.
LOL. It's a reference to earlier in the movie where the woman insists on taking extra time to go back and get her cello and thus meaning they are caught up with by the police and army.
If said cello cost as much as a stradivarius I'd treat it like a person too
When the cello is a Stradivarius you better believe it's a character.
I mean it did have a name, The Lady Rose
The A-Ha/John Barry collaboration is magic
Ever notice that when a popular singer does a BOND theme they fade away or break-up? Most of the time?
I read that Barry absolutely hated the collaboration though ☹️
@@starsiegeplayer eh, why?
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea I guess they had creative differences on the composition of the title song. Which is too bad, because I really like how it ended up.
From the living daylights wikipedia: The title song of the film, "The Living Daylights", was co-written with Pål Waaktaar of the Norwegian pop-music group A-ha and recorded by the band. The group and Barry did not collaborate well, resulting in two versions of the theme song.
There's more in the wikipedia article, but too much for the comment box in RUclips. Cheers!
@@starsiegeplayer I see. A-ha was known as an independent and creative musician. They made all of their music and never cover other songs (except Crying In The Rain, cmiiw). Pål Waaktar is the guitarist and he made most of their song (he was the one who made Take On Me which based on his love-feeling to a woman who became his wife until now).
I think since they are usually independent, that's why they had a clash with John Barry. They had their own idea for the song
Why Dalton has not received Knighthood is bothering me! This man has consistently put in incredible performances & he is my favourite Bond as well. Just look up his performance in Penny Dreadful as Sir Malcolm Murray or any work he has done...he is simply amazing.
Monarchy is anachronistic. We need to become a republic as soon as possible, let Scotland and Wales to be free and let Ireland be a united country.
F That! That is his royal highness Prince Barin of Arboriaz! HAIL MING!
@@maranmorsi884 No. F U
He was a ahead of his time. He was also only around for 2 films, one which people didn’t appreciate for 20 years. Wasn’t his fault.
I loved seeing him as the evil grocery store owner in "Hot Fuzz." Funny fact: when Simon Pegg is interrogating him, he did not know Dalton was wearing sock suspenders. The scene was shot twice. Why? Well, in the script, Pegg's character (Nick) knows the suspect he's chasing had a severel leg injury so he checked under his pants. The first time, Pegg saw the sock suspenders and broke down laughing so hard that they had to stop and reshoot the scene!
Timothy was really underrated. Definitely in the top 3.
Underrated movie, underrated car, underrated Bond. Just pure class.
The missile-launching car is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen in a Bond film. Speaking of which, in this film, Timothy Dalton is badass personified.
It was really nice to see this Aston Martin making an appearance again in No Time To Die, even if only briefly. 👌
it´s the same car right ? same number.
@@javix2013 That's right. B549 WUU.
I saw this movie in the theater as a kid with my dad. Even by today's standards, I still kind it very entertaining and one of best bond films in the series.
Such a great scene, absolutely loved Timothy Dalton as James Bond.
This one is my favorite. The last of the cold war era bond movies that is really worthy of the name.
Bloody right! The cold war era ones were actually amazing and I miss them...
“Sorry, old man, section 26, paragraph 5. Need-to-know. Sure you understand.”
This is one of my favourite Bond movies. TD first and IMO best outing as 007.
*airhorn*
i agree my top 3 bond films are in order 3rd License To Kill 2nd The Living Daylights 1st Goldeneye
You can tell that Dalton didn’t like the cheesy one liners. He delivers them like he’s a anxious to get them over with.
That's because of his thespian background. Cant beat class.
The quips don't really suit him, his character is too grim.
To be honest, I think it sold the urgency of the scene better that way. It comes out like the coping mechanism someone would employ to keep cool and fight back the urge to panic, and it got Bond through this scrape, didn't it, now?
I wouldn’t say they’re cheesy. Most of them like "you should of brought lilies" were more straight up threats.
@@RRVCrinale very well said! Roger Moore’s smugness with that sort of dialogue never sold the feeling of tension. Dalton still my favourite Bond.
0:18 I love Dalton’s accent right here, with him being Welsh after all.
I thought he was undercover pretending to be russian
@@gambello1195 bond has never been undercover pretending to be anything other than bond XD
He was raised in my town Belper, Derbyshire from the age of four. Family are still here. What are you talking about?
I think that Kara's map reading skills deserve a mention. Even if she does later miss a massive mountain right in front of her.
One of the very best Action-Chase scenes EVER in a Bond movie. I especially liked the way he blows an ENORMOUS hole in the tractor trailer. Then on the frozen lake the two gadgets he employs there!!!
Timothy Dalton WAS James Bond. He was and is still the closest embodiment of the character. This is from someone who loved Roger Moore.
Timothy Dalton was the bad guy in Rocket Tear.
Computer controlled auto reverse cassette player. Damn, Bond and his gadgets were always light-years ahead of their time!
Yep, Philips, let's make things better!
Timothy Dalton is the best James Bond ever
1:31 is one of the most dangerous stunts on any Bond film. That guy was half a second from having his legs crushed against that guard rail.
Vastly underrated movie and great score from the late,great John Barry.
Barry's score was a melodic beauty. The sequence with the mujahidine in Afghanistan is highlighted by one of his most hauntingly beautiful theme. Listen to it again....it's a gem.
This I think is one of best 007 films ever made and Tim Dalton did a fine great job as 007 and was ahead of his time
Timothy Dalton brought more of a killer type bond . He’s a great a actor and is hardly mentioned as bond but I thought a bit more realism to bond which has carried on til now .
@Dymamo because he interprets Ian Fleming's Novel character he depicts Bond as he truly is a killer / assassin but still the good guy but uses darker methods.
Glad to see it back in action. Absolutely iconic!!
One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite bond films, with one of my favorite bonds driving my one of my favorite bond cars.
Wow, he’s amazing; he managed to change the tyre while he was flying though the air at the end!
Timothy Dalton a very underrated actor who was never given the respect he deserved as an actor and playing the role of James Bond in two films ....... I thought this scene in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS was very action packed and well thought out 👍👍👍👍👍👍🎥🎥🎥🎥🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬
Dalton is finally getting praise for his tenure as Bond then he did in the 80s. His dark and serious tone as Bond was ahead of its time and set the tone for the Daniel Craig films. Fans were so used to the Roger Moore era with his light hearted take on the role and heavy use of the tongue in cheek humor for 7 films
The thing with Brosnan. He looked like the guy who plays Bond. Dalton looked like Bond.
Roman Karl You win the internet for the day!
Dalton actually played Bond like a deadly spy, while Brosnan played him like a cocky arsehole.
Brosnan got the superficial elements of Bond like being a good looking suave bastard... but he knew fuck all about the character on a deep level and his Goldeneye watchalong proved that. Watch Dalton's comments on the character in the Everything or Nothing documentary, that guy really loved and had a deep understanding of the character Fleming created.
Ironically, you have it backwards. Brosnan looks like James Bond. Dalton looked like the guy who plays Bond. As someone who is a fan of Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond, I came to see what the fuss was about on older Bond actors like Dalton. I’m not impressed. None of them top Pierce’s take in Goldeneye. NONE. I see there’s a lot of biased Dalton only fans in this video section so I don’t expect anyone to agree with me.
@@Mr.Honest247 If James Bond was a BMW. Dalton would be an M3 and Brosnan would be a de-badged 320d M-sport.
I do miss the gadgets in the bond movies. Every time Craig wrecked an Aston Martin without showing something hilariously cool i get sad . The gadgets were always a big part for me growing up.
I mean he did use a flamethrower in Spectre against Mr. Hinx
I love that Dalton wanted to make Bond realistic, so when he got hit, he got bruised, he got cuts, he got dirty. Without Dalton as bond there wouldn’t have been a Jason Bourne film series, and without Bourne we would never had got Craig
The first Bond with Dalton was pretty realistic, and dark. This one is just a gimmick on Brosnan's level... Well, maybe early Brosnan level.
@@SparrowNoblePoland this is the first one with dalton. Do you mean the 2nd?
@morty pen My source? It’s called an opinion. You see we know Dalton wanted Bond to be more realistic, and Bourne was also realistic and extremely successful. The Bond producers reacted to that by making bond a bit more like reality, but would Bourne have happened without the realism of Dalton? They did say they wanted to make an American spy film that was based on reality rather than the extremes of Bond. The Bourne books are just as unrealistic to actual spying as is Fleming. We also know that films copy other films that are successful, so taking my opinion and extrapolating it with what we know about the films that were made and how they performed (Die another day), I can then formulate an opinion. You don’t have to agree with my opinion, but you also don’t have the right to call my opinion BS, especially as that seems to turn you into just another troll commenter. That’s an opinion too, but I hope that’s not the case
@morty pen You’re getting way too upset bud.
You think this gimmicky crap looks realistic?
It is easy to forget (sounds like a bond film title) just how fantastic this film is. A cello playing goddess to rescue in an Aston V8. Hold my champagne!
One of my favourite Bond movies. Dalton was brilliant. Love this scene! Really had the Cold War atmosphere.
"Salt Corrosion"
When the new Bond actor takes the reins, The filmmakers tryout elements of the old Bond to see how they work on the new Bond. The little quips Dalton tries in this scene feel like they were written for Roger Moore.
Do you see Roger Moore delivering these lines?
They wrote the script with Moore in mind and adjusted it to fit Dalton after he joined on.
@@TinRoofTed Exactly. The Bond film that Sir Roger did not finish on. He would have left on a high note after the over the top AVTAK. Sure he would have been 59, but he didn't look it.
@@marksieve7734 Oh he was looking his age in the last one. Returning would have been a terrible mistake. Moore believed coming back for A View To A Kill was a terrible mistake.
@@trueblue6201 I would say he was right in that respect. I recall hearing somewhere Roger Moore was really upset at the level of violence present in A View To A Kill, in particular the scene where Max Zorin and his henchman massacre the mine workers.
@@TinRoofTed Also that is actually not true. This script was not written with Moore in mind. The idea that it was is a popular urban myth. He made clear very early on he was not returning. Initial script ideas including a prequel showing how Bond became 007. The movie was not written for Moore who was definitely too long in the tooth to play a young Bond.

I literally shit my pants while laughing my ass off
😂
Such a fantascic movie. I'm getting fascinated over and over again. Dalton is definetely the best Bond actor ever.
Just a bloody shame the world is now realising TD was a fantastic Bond
That red targeting optic is superb, that late eighties magic!
The same Aston Martin V8 is used in the new bond film No Time To Die
Dalton should have made more than two Bonds. And the sountrack kicks ass.
When ever i think of James Bond, i see Dalton's face. Because in my opinion he really looked and felt like Bond in terms of realism regarding that fictional character. His performance always convinced me that this Bond was constantly aware of the dangers around him and was highly trained and experienced at being a double 0 Agent. And that Aston Martin V8 Volante is still my favorite Bond Car.
Best bond car ever.
All that tec and pulls out a paper map... “See where this leads”. 🤣😂
And she's able to find it immediately after getting it, more realistically it'd be like "I think this is the wrong map? Oh wait.. is that where we are? I think we're lost, James!"
It seem that Q neglected to include GPS like he did with the DB5!
@@t.b.g.504 now you see that wasn't GPS because GPS certainly did not exist back in 1964 that was merely a display to follow the tracking bug.

Both Dalton and Brosnan were fantastic.
Timothy Dalton the best bond ever
One my favourite Bond Movies. Timothy Dalton played the Bond roles perfectly.
Mega underrated bond movie. Genuinely entertaining at every turn.
My favorite model of the Aston Martin and It's use in this sequence.
"I have a few optional extras installed".
I must quote "I had a few optional extras installed" at least twice a week 😁
The Living Daylights was probably the first Bond film I watched when I was a kid. It was probably the Aston Martin and this car chase that made me love Bond!
Ah, proper James Bond stuff.
Timothy Dalton is the only Bond Actor with multiple films in which all his films were good or great.
Such an underrated Bond. We were robbed of more Timothy Dalton Bond films.
Could you have imagined what GoldenEye would have been like with Timothy Dalton? I mean don't get me wrong it's Pierce Brosnan's first and strongest Bond movie in my opinion but I just wonder how GoldenEye would have fared with a little bit more Timothy Dalton's coldness and how he handles betrayal and revenge.
My favorite John Barry Bond score. He definitely left the series with a bang. Great song too, "Ice Chase".
This is one of the best Bond movies in the series and one of the first i watched when i was introduced to the series by my Dad was i was a kid :)
Dalton as 007 was a breath of fresh air. I love this movie.
I always thought Timothy Dalton was the best Bond
It's ok to be wrong
Connery the best, Dalton was good though
Even Sean Connery said that Timothy was his favorite Bond.
FINALLY! Someone that agrees with me!
Dalton is the best Bond.
I love how Kara is quite annoyed after James said "...and a cello"
The half inch rim of a wheel cutting a foot through ice pissed me off in the 90's just as much as it does now
Grow up its Bond.
Good thing the film came our in 1987 then 😉
When you scratch a piece of glas, then that's enough to break it, and that's the same for a piece of ice.
It's a Bond film FFS! Suspend your disbelief, grasp on reality and "thin" (Ha Ha) knowledge of physics. It just simply does not apply in that kind of world. While we are on the subject, are there any other films you would like to criticise for not being factually correct? NOW, that would be a VERY long list ...
you want dull and real, watch Daniel Craig
Best Bond actor, best Bond girl and best Bond car. 🔥
junk
Wish Tim had done more Bond movies. This was a superb film.
I do hope I get to meet Mr. Dalton again some day! A true gentleman if I have ever seen one.
1:45 - classic dialogue - I had a few optional extras installed
Yeah... classic Bond humour. The lack of such houmour, is one of the reasons why Craig's Bond is probably the worst Bond ever (I mean, if we wanted something like his Bond, we just had to watch the Bourne franchise).
@@joaocharneca2119 Sadly I have to agree with you. I really liked the casting of Craig initially, and liked Casino Royale a lot. I still felt Royale was a bit sloppily written overall with too many tacked on big action chase sequences (that whole airport business could have been taken right out), and was a bit disappointed that they gave Craig such an un-Bond spikey hairdo, but felt he had so much promise for further films. Not enjoyed any of the rest, and they've got more and more generic, blue filtered, overacted and boring.
Why on earth Purvis & Wade are still writing I don't know, they're awful and all of their scripts after Die Another Day have needed sometimes multiple better writers brought in to re-write them. I really think they need to go back to a more traditional Bond after Craig. Tall, dark haired and lean but suave and good looking (as much as I've tried to picture him as 007, Craig just looks like a Russian henchman or a grizzled Norwegian fisherman).
@@joaocharneca2119 And the punchlines do work with Dalton just like with Moore before. One of the underrated Bonds for sure.
@@joaocharneca2119 Craig is too serious, too dark and more like a Bond villain sometimes.
They should have kept Dalton. His Bond ages particularly well.
I love this film ....and Timothy Dalton's take on Bond! This was the first film that really felt it took a real leap into the 80s...(and also the best one of the 80s!) Seriously underrated .....what should've been done was Roger Moore (another great Bond) should've had Octopussy as his last film and instead of having 'A View to a Kill, (which is a really poor and bad film...except for Maydays bits), MGM and co. shouldve had a gap of a few years (by not having that bad film) concentrating their marketing instead to successfully market push and launch Timothy Dalton off as the new Bond of the 80s (to allow the public to adapt and adjust)...and then still have brought this great film out in 87! (That way Moore would've also ended on a high but Timothy Dalton would've had the credit he deserved too for his good and unique take on Bond!) Shame!
View to a Kill wasn't really my cup of tea either, some stand out scenes though.
Guys. All bond movies aged fantastic. Were fantastic then and are now. A rare jewel of combination: Fleming, producers, directors, script writers, composer and of course well chosen actors and mesmerizing women.
Tbh. Living Daylights one of the best bond movies
Timothy Dalton was actually a pretty good Bond.
1:31- close call for that extra I say
80s Bond Action is simply superb
its great so many dalton fans have gathered here. i feel like home.
Dalton was always my favorite.
I think Sean was probably the best actor to play bond, but Dalton was my favourite.
Still my favourite Bond, and car too! Timothy was the one that had the character bang on. Especially in licence to kill!
I always loved this model of Aston Martin.
It's still my favorite. I was surprised that Jaguar designed the V8 that went into this model.
Can't wait to see that V8 again in 'No Time to Die'.
Same here, it is a really great model from Aston Martin and just as iconic to me as the DB5 from Goldfinger. I have two different scale toy versions in my James Bond collection at home.
After what happens to the V8 in this film, are we to assume it's *the same car* in No Time To Die, kindly rebuilt by Q-Branch...?
@@garyw370 different Bond, different "universe".
@@JB0071051982 It's a shame Dalton never got to drive the DB5.

Dry humor and a way of delivering it
You're god damn right!
Nahh
I love the music behind the Dalton movies - as only the 80s could have produced - the pop beat backing the traditional score
This has been my first Bond movie, back when I was a kid, and I still love it ^^.
Both his movies were brilliant. I don't think they liked him because he had the best songs. Living daylights on a pair of twin subwoofers. Also the music in the movie itself always captivated me to excitement. Yes underated for sure.
The Bond music of John Barry .... always get goosebumps! Those were the days ....
