What I LOVE about this sequence is that so often Bond is presented as the sole competent agent in MI6 but the guy fighting Necros here is nearly as badass as Necros himself. Loved that.
yes, even at the time most films would likely have shown the villain as "unstoppable". but at least some of the other personnel is supposed to highly trained as well. which is why this scene feels more "realistic".
Yeah it was a good move making him a competent fighter, he’s quite a lot older than Necros and other MI6 agents too. Green 4 had very short screen time but really makes an impact. The best movies put a lot of attention into even the smallest characters
such a man who would be an ex SAS captain or similar!! Great scene but the exploding milk bottles are funny !! Most of the staff who run the PM's country retreat Chequers are ex services,, similar country building in this movie!
The kitchen fight scene is so ridiculously well choreographed, I love it, the security agent puts up a great fight! This entire sequence is very well put together actually, just like all the other action in the movie, it's all very slick and has such good flow.
The infiltration is so seamless and violent that at the end one is like "wtf just happened". It's one of those scenes you can watch over and over again just to see the little details of how both the fight and the bomb attack happened.

@@scottknode898 The Pretenders were 1st choice. But then when the Producers heard A-HA I guess they changed their minds. Still to not piss Chrissie Hynds off they put her track in as sort of a main theme really...
One of the few instances in a Bond film where the henchman is a greater threat than the main villain. Thugs like Jaws and Oddjob - Bond can evade or outsmart them. Nick-Nack was cunning, but physically hopeless. But with Necros, you've got a skill set on par with Bond's. Infiltration, improvisation, efficiency. Underrated antagonist!
I’d consider Necros to be the third villain of the movie vs solely a henchman, he’s far more involved in the story than the average henchman and seems to have his own motivations
@@jjryan1352 He may have put up a good fight, but he was not a good fighter! He should have been in there far quicker, and tried going for a killer blow, or pressure point, to knock Mr Necros out, I know he was about 20 years or so older, but he scored very light blows, Bond would have done much better, win or lose, Green 4 looked like a geriatric lol.
Props to Green Four. That agent put up a hell of a fight and nearly took out an elite KGB trained assassin. One of the things I love about the Dalton Bonds is how visceral the fights are. Up close, simple techniques, chaotic and physical. The Bourne films must have taken a lot of inspiration from action sequences like these.
@@Johno1992 Personally I found Stamper as somewhat monotone. He has an impending frame, but not much character. Carver is the opposite, weak frame, huge character.
Stamper, like a lot of the named henchmen, appears as a threatening figure but in the film doesn't achieve an awful lot than killing a lot of sailors helplessly floating in the sea (hardly a challenge). Another example is Jaws - iconic and frightening but he didn't kill anyone with significant training - just assasinated some men who can't fight back. Both Necros and Brandt killed agents who were armed and trained.
+Florian Laur yes precisely. They were both great bond films but the audience was too used to the Moore films. The Craig ones have gone back to the darker elements
Yeah, he played tall villains with big glasses. It's a look, I suppose. I just checke,d he was also one of Max's henchmen in the first Mission Impossible film.
Andreas Wisniewski who played Necros here, also starred in 1988's Die Hard as one of Hans Grubers henchmen. Also starred as one of Max's henchmen in 1996's Mission Impossible. Seems he is a popular bad guy..........:)
he needed two more agents to show up,randomly. Necros could have taken them all down, but he would be in bad shape even if he did, out of energy, no matter his training
Green 4 will always be remembered as the badass agent that put up a fight. At least he won't be remembered like Agent 009, for being killed in action in a clown suit, by the ringling brothers.
Completely disagree. Agent 009 was also a badass, being chased by 2 knife wielding assassins, he won a fight with one of them, and jumped into the river, and despite being stabbed in the back he was able to complete the mission by going to the ambassadors house and showing the egg before dying. Green four was also a badass for lasting so long, and getting some hits in, as well as burning Necros’s hand, and never giving up, just before being knocked out he clearly tries to regain composure and stand up again.
@@bonnienasiry2652 I just wished they hadn't put him in such a goofy clown outfit. Have him dressed normally, but with some shades of make-up left to show he left in a hurry.
Interesting fact. The helicopter used to pick up Koskov at the end was a helicopter captured by the British army from Argentina during the Falklands war.
Necros barely held his own against a focused, elite MI6 agent like Green 4! Only if a couple more agents entered the room, it would've been game over for Necros.
I think after nearly 10 years of henchmen who possessed absurd Herculean strength, that fight was meant to establish that Necros wasn't yet another Oddjob knock-off.
@@nrkgalt the frying pan didn't kill him. M later said that two agents were killed (by exploding milk bottles) and two were in the hospital (one agent injured by flying debris from the milk bottle grenades, and Green Four).
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip by the way I reckon the agent on the stairs was the other one who died other than the chef, and the one who went to hospital was the closet to the milk bottle out of the two milk bottles, I think the other gardener had too minor injuries to go to hospital. And the reason I think the agent on the stairs died, is because not only did the grenade practically hit him, he also fell down from a height. And I agree definitely green four was the other one to go to hospital. What do you think?
I think this is one of the best ever bond sequences especially as bond wasn't even in it and one of the most underrated bond films ever. Honestly it is better than any moor bond except possibly live and let die. But fuck it just my opinion
Yes, this installment is seriously underrated, as is Dalton himself. I always preferred License to Kill, but as I have watched all the Bond films more and more, I think this one may actually edge it out. I think overall License to Kill had a better overall cast of villains, but the Necros character alone was the best. Dalton hits it out of the park in both episodes, where I feel every other Bond actor outside of Connery has been hot and cold. Connery puts in a top performance every time, but some of the bad support acting and corny dated themes in the older episodes let the overall experience down. I am biased however since I grew up with the Dalton episodes.
Necros is probably the most deadly henchman in the Bond franchise for me. Not only is he a physical powerhouse like Oddjob or Jaws (albeit not as unrealistically strong), but he's also highly intelligent and skilled at infiltration. No wonder Whitaker casually remarks that he could easily take out a Russian VIP.
This movie has some of the best fight scenes in the entire franchise, especially this and the jail cell fight. Just excellent choreography and camera, a real sense of life & death, and music.
Unique moment in Bond history, a British agent who’s not Bond and is not useless. Green four should have made more appearances as a Bond friend and ally in following movies. He is great!
The script was written with Roger Moore in mind hence some of the silly quips but I think Dalton improvised a bit. Still one of the better post connery bonds
There is a deleted scene where Bond uses a Persian rug to glide down washing lines to escape some baddies in a street scene. As he is gliding along the rooftops he gives a smile and cheeky wave to a guy smoking from a hookah. If it had been Roger Moore in the role, they would definitely have kept the scene in.
That fight scene was great! That was the same dude from Die Hard 1, and Mission Impossible, a great actor, would have liked to see him like this in more stuff.
I remember sitting down to watch this for the first time when I was 11 with my parents & they said, "Oh, this is the one with the exploding milk bottles." Honestly, I love those things because they are both hilarious & awesome 😆
I love this sequence apart from the bit where Green 4 calls in then goes instantly silent yet the other guy just continues making his cup of tea with no sense of urgency.
Yeah the other guy who did a quick little taptap on the milkman for the government safehouse. "ok giant blond ballet dancer looking dude who visits a safehouse at the height of the cold war. You behave yourself and don't go being an assassin now, ok?" he dude really wanted his tea!!
I like the little details, like how Necros uses an Aussie accent at the gate and a British accent when calling Green 4 to base when his natural accent is Russian. And in Die Hard he has a German accent 😆
As I understand, Daniel Craig and Timothy Dalton are supposed to be closer to the books than the others, Dalton had read them all and wanted to make sure his performance was as accurate as possible.
what also makes it brilliant though, is, this is the first time we see the bad guy, surprised by a random agent, well-trained and alert, who fights to the end. Necros did not expect Green to enter the room, and he was probably even frightened that now he has to face a MI6 agent. Like I said, had there been more than one, or at least two more, with their intelligence and training, Necros knows he would have been overcome. He might have physical strength and brains, but MI6 KNOWS KGB tactics.
The MI6 people should have realized that for the KGB to kidnap Koskov back just a few hours after he defected meant that the whole defection was a false flag operation. It would have taken a lot longer to plan the operation, including getting the helicopter. Bond may have suspected this, but M and the minister seemed to have totally missed it.
I think that "Green 4" was actually one of the stuntmen of this amazing movie! He was a really good actor too as we see! Yes, he's name was Bill Weston, if I am correct. I think he's brother was a stuntman too!
If anyone has played Hitman series... you will take note, there are at least a dozen Hitman tropes in this action sequence, it's patently obvious one of the IOI developers has seen this movie.... :)
one of my favorite villains of all time. I really feel sorry for Agent number Four. I really would have LOVED to see other agents show up and slowly wreck Necros' attack. Just would be so awesome had more agents, without guns, showed up and slowly wrecked Necros in that kitchen. But.....it still is an awesome movie.
I wish the fight with Green 4 had gone on and on....that was a powerful scene.....just wow......really wish it would have seen Green 4 and Necros going nuts all over the kitchen more than this......and I wish more agents showed up to shut Necros down. As I have said for years, Necros is ELITE, but he can only take so many of them coming at him!
Green 4 would have one had two more agents suddenly entered the room. KGB training or not, they would have messed Necros day up. They could have taken him, if 4 had some sudden help. It did not have to be Bond. This is MI6, after all
4:10 i love this shot. MI6 agent can run and tell people that he's an agent, but then Necros might kill people in the helicopter including the MI6 agent. Its telling how much control Necros had over this specific situation. Really formidable foe.
Damn the James Bond franchise needs more Green 4. Hell, do an Agents of SHIELD style spin off about a team of elite MI6 agents out in the field and showing 00s aren’t the only ones that can kick ass and get the job done

Absolutely agree. It would have been so easy and typical to write him off as an easy kill but he really gave Necros a good run for his money.

Florian Laur True
You're right, Florian! After all of these years, I just realized that after reading what you said!
Necros and Stamper were clearly inspired by Robert Shaw's Red Grant. Also Hans, the brawny, Nordic guy in You Only Live Twice.
Does anyone think the Dalton films (eps this film) had a more complex darker plot???
I do. I think that's why they didn't like Dalton. They felt his movies where too dark, especially after the goofy Moore-Bond.
+Florian Laur yes precisely. They were both great bond films but the audience was too used to the Moore films. The Craig ones have gone back to the darker elements
No way is Living Daylights darker than Licence to Kill. More complex though, I totally agree! Love it to pieces.
yep, really enjoyed both Dalton's Bond films, think they're both underrated
They did have. Dalton wanted them to be closer to the novels.
Andreas Wisniewski who played Necros was also one of Hans Gruber’s henchmen(“ho ho ho..now I have machine gun”) in Die Hard. What an 80s legend!

Green Four's fight is especially impressive when you realise that he's both older and smaller than Necros by quite some way.
Technique is a good equalizer.
No Matter how many times , that i've watched this sequence. I Love it
I continue to think this kitchen fight is the most brutal I've seen in the whole James Bond franchise.
Now that's what you call a mission, perfectly executed.
One of the best fight scenes of the 007 saga

He goes around eliminating innocent workers just like Agent 47.
necros great fighter very good soundtrack and the best bond ive ever seen
what also makes it brilliant though, is, this is the first time we see the bad guy, surprised by a random agent, well-trained and alert, who fights to the end. Necros did not expect Green to enter the room, and he was probably even frightened that now he has to face a MI6 agent. Like I said, had there been more than one, or at least two more, with their intelligence and training, Necros knows he would have been overcome. He might have physical strength and brains, but MI6 KNOWS KGB tactics.
Green 4 isn’t going out like a coward. He’s fighting until the end. Badass...
The MI6 people should have realized that for the KGB to kidnap Koskov back just a few hours after he defected meant that the whole defection was a false flag operation. It would have taken a lot longer to plan the operation, including getting the helicopter. Bond may have suspected this, but M and the minister seemed to have totally missed it.
I love this music in this scene!
I think that "Green 4" was actually one of the stuntmen of this amazing movie! He was a really good actor too as we see! Yes, he's name was Bill Weston, if I am correct. I think he's brother was a stuntman too!
If anyone has played Hitman series... you will take note, there are at least a dozen Hitman tropes in this action sequence, it's patently obvious one of the IOI developers has seen this movie.... :)
One of my favorite Bond villains. I like Trevalyan, the guy in glasses in Mercedes, Khan, others
What makes a great Bond movie is the bad guys. Necros is a great bad guy.
Yes I was always impressed with green 4, his fighting skills are amazing
at least for a butler!
he wasn't just a butler obviously.
james wisniewski (necros) did a better job at this mission than the one he did at nakatomi tower in die hard 1 haha
It was German actor Andreas Wisniewski, not James - that's the American ice hockey player! ;-)
Necros was one of the weaker Bond henchmen. Stamper, Jaws, Oddjob were all tougher than Necros.
Romulan2469 Bullshit!!!!
@@mattk5020 agreed. Necros was damn good.
One of the best fight scenes ever in Bond
one of my favorite scenes from this movie :D
Love this theme it really kicks ass!!
So cool to think that Andreas Wisniewski is actually a guy that hurts nobody, even fly, he's budist!
"Who's that for?" ...."you!" slap
XD
Wonder if it was a real hit or a faked one? (as later on we find that the guy being kidnapped is in on the whole thing)
one of my favorite villains of all time. I really feel sorry for Agent number Four. I really would have LOVED to see other agents show up and slowly wreck Necros' attack. Just would be so awesome had more agents, without guns, showed up and slowly wrecked Necros in that kitchen. But.....it still is an awesome movie.
My grandfather passed his Germen heritage on to me. This is one of my FAVORITES
I wish the fight with Green 4 had gone on and on....that was a powerful scene.....just wow......really wish it would have seen Green 4 and Necros going nuts all over the kitchen more than this......and I wish more agents showed up to shut Necros down. As I have said for years, Necros is ELITE, but he can only take so many of them coming at him!
What Dan was Necros in Martial arts? Was he special troops? Green 4 looked like he never studied martial arts in his life!
He played a Terminator-like Villain in a Season 2 episode of Superboy. - "Superboy Rest in Peace"
THAT BUTTLER DESERVED A PROMOTION! He endured the attack of the soviet milkman
Green 4 really put up a good fight and could have won had he not been knocked out.
Green 4 would have one had two more agents suddenly entered the room. KGB training or not, they would have messed Necros day up. They could have taken him, if 4 had some sudden help. It did not have to be Bond. This is MI6, after all
i agree green 4 could have definatly won this fight
@@bobbafett2310 I just think he should’ve gone more on the offensive even though let lasted quite a bit
4:10 i love this shot.
MI6 agent can run and tell people that he's an agent, but then Necros might kill people in the helicopter including the MI6 agent. Its telling how much control Necros had over this specific situation. Really formidable foe.
Damn the James Bond franchise needs more Green 4. Hell, do an Agents of SHIELD style spin off about a team of elite MI6 agents out in the field and showing 00s aren’t the only ones that can kick ass and get the job done
Green 4 isn't definitively killed...and he damn near takes out Necros, despite his unassuming appearance. Sod Bond, GIVE GREEN 4 HIS OWN SERIES!!!
