What an underrated Director ! John Glen means more to so many movielovers than Steven Spielberg as an example. He was the one who made the 80s James Bond ! The last wonderful decade. And they are all Masterpieces! For Your Eyes Only (1981) + Octopussy (1983) + A View to a Kill (1985) + The Living Daylights (1987) + Licence To Kill (1989). And he also worked in many previous Bond Films before that (as an Assistand Director and Editor). What a great moviemaker this John Glen is !

I've always enjoyed hearing this guy speak in the "inside" documentaries for the films. On the one hand, I get it - bond is basically his entire career. When you look at stuff he did after or before it wasn't as successful. But he EARNED the right to direct every bond film of the 80s, he grinded as an editor and junior staffer in the earlier years. He understood roger so well, he understood the formula of that time. And honestly throughout the decade I thought he just got better and better. He himself says that license to kill was the best film he directed - just wish it had done better at the box office.

Licence to Kill is the best!

Two of the most memorable Bond villains, especially during the clown chase scene. That freaked me out as a kid seeing it in the 80’s.

Great Director. Did my favourite films from 2 different Bonds - For Your Eyes Only and The Living Daylights! Thanks for this interview!

Nice ☕☕

Great interview! He seems like a genuine everyday kind of man.

3:39

I am a true Bond fan loved Roger more

Translation?

Thank you for the interview

My favourite part of TMWTGG ❤

A damn brilliant interview gentlemen! All the way round fantastic!

Excellent director!

I agree. Davi is supremely good.

Is John Glen still alive?

One of my favorite underrated Davi performances is in Maniac Cop 2. Such a trip, that one! Davi is a legend

Vic is a legend. Imagine all the great art we would have missed had he not been born

Thank God for John Glen! I love all his Bond movies!

WORST Bond director...ever! Timothy Dalton said he smelled like a goat and refused to do a 3rd Bond film.

Another excellent interview

Quite a classy lady.

If I interviewed John Glen , one question I would ask is > " After watching one of the most suspenseful opening sequences in the series ( the twin killers chasing 009 in East Berlin ) in Octopussy , how could you allow Bond to swing on a vine and yell like Tarzan " ? I`d love to hear his answer.

Great Interview and film. up there with "Hollywood Bulldogs" of a sadly dying age of British Stuntman. It has been my privilege to have worked for and along side Vic a number of times, as a performer and Stunt Co for Him. Thank you for posting this up.

Vic and Paul Weston are my favourite Stuntmen… this is an amazing interview Vic looks great and always keen on telling his stories

THE definitive Vic Armstrong interview. Not to be missed! Great stuff!!

Great actor. Pity he thinks Laurence Fox and that shite worthy of promotion.

I loved him in that was shown on JRTV back in the 80s. He was ruthless as Aris, and quite the villain in The Last Crusade. Quite the onscreen presence.

Brilliant

Most proific stuntman in recent times : his resumé speaks for itself and has been part of so many movie franchises - Indiana Jones, James Bond, Jack Ryan, Superman, Rambo and that's before one factors in standalone features, TV Shows and countless others - good to see he's got so many memories : 👍.

Not surprised that Mr Robert John Davi was cast as Franz Sanchez : despite being a fictional character, the likes of Manuel Noriega and Pablo Escobar et al, come to mind in terms of the influence both men once had. Davi was so convincing as Sanchez, a real life criminal praised him (he was kidnapped - allegedly) for his performance, he's so versatile as an actor, good guys like Agent Johnson in "Die Hard" and many others are part of his resumè. I like his down to earth personality as he refers to some of his friends and colleagues by first or last names : this is someone I'd like to be in the company of in a social occasion - gets my vote.

Mr Glenn, Please Please Please 🙏 unretire to direct the next Bond!👏

great

I always misremember the scene where Roger kicks the car as not having had the kick. I actually think it would have been better the way Roger wanted to do it.

Great conversation! The living daylights will always have a special place in my heart because it was the first Bond-movie I saw in a movie theatre. John has directed two more of my favourites; Octopussy and For your eyes only.

Of all the Bond directors, Glen is the one I would most like to talk to. So many interesting experiences for him to discuss and he has a marvellous economy and focus in discussing them.

John Glen is great. What a down-to-earth, humble man. He is so underrated as a director and contributed so much to the James Bond series.

Mr Glen defined the on-screen James Bond - the fairytale-like out-of-this-world adventures of Roger Moore vs down to earth, dark and violent escapades of Timothy Dalton. This man is much more important than any of us think.

Mischka and Grishka

Thank you Vic.👌

One of the greatest bond villians

Have a look at the world is not enough DVD extra called bond downriver , its here on you tube. I think that shows the accident he mentioned he had in the boat while being filmed for the electronic pres kit at 40:53. Much respect to Gary Powell and all stunt performers old and newer .

Very interesting interview, I just came across it by chance lol ! It's just a pity there's no subtitles , I'm French and a fan of 007 with Daniel ....and I must admit that there are a few small passages where I didn't quite understand.

fantastic video, thanks for sharing !!!!

21:02 He was in The Persuaders! ? Really? Don't recall that....Which one?

Craig will NEVER be 007.

Very wonderful sweet gentlemen.

Both For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy seemed to have been made to order for Timothy Dalton and not for Roger Moore.
