  • Bond infiltrates Brad Whitaker’s mansion in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (1987). Joe Don Baker, who plays Whitaker, said of his character: “He’s such a megalomaniac he has life-size statues of military leaders - Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler - but all with his face. They put plaster over my face, and then I had to sit absolutely motionless for 30 minutes with two little straws sticking out of my nose so I could breathe. Then they just ripped the thing off.”

    Whittaker is definitely one of the most underrated Bond villains ever. He's clearly a paranoid megalomaniac with historical figures all in his own likeness at the entrance as well as owning his own personal 'playpen' to play a game of Cat and Mouse with Ben. Fantastic performance by Joe Baker.

    Whitaker had the potential to be one of the best Bond villains - a rogue arms dealer who worships warlords - but ultimately there's no real reason for the moviewatcher to fear him. We needed to see his menace, like Stromberg killing off the two scientists or Goldfinger killing the mobsters. Instead there's a vague plot for a bit of cash, and a deal to help kill off the Taliban.

    • @Bundeskaiser
      @Bundeskaiser 4 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      Indeed a bit of a waste as the movie already had a lot of villains. Pushkin seemed to be the villain in the first half of the movie, Koskov became the villain after the first half, the Necros henchman... and Whitaker was always in the background and more of a secondary villain. But he would have been the most interesting thanks to his personality and expertise with weapons. End fight was still cool. But they should have done more with him. This is still one of the best Bond movies imho.

      You're a hundred percent right. Personally, I think the either the P99 Compact or the PPS would be the perfect pistol for the 21st century Bond.
      They should've switched pistols by the early-mid '80s. They could've stuck with Walther, too. Bond could've easily carried the P5 (used briefly my Roger Moore in Octopussy), the P5 Compact or even the P88 Compact by the time The Living Daylights hit theaters. The Heckler & Koch P9S or any of the P7 variants would've been a good choice, as well.
      We did catch a break towards the end of Tomorrow Never Dies, when Bond switched to the P99, and he kept it until Quantum of Solace.

    As a militay history buff i completely approve Whitakers mancave, ok his face on all the warlords is too much for my taste, but hey, nobody is perfect :)
    Also Whitakers taunts regarding Wellington crack me up, although not mercenaries, roughly half of his British army were in fact Germans. We also have Bluchers (German) Prussian army that came from the flank and sealed the fate of Napoleon. In fact the whole plan of Welington was to "hold on" until Blucher came, otherwise he wouldnt even be there in the first place accepting the Battle.
    Wellington for sure was kind of a vulture when it came to glory, diminishing the importance of Prussians, and even today Waterloo is seen as a "British victory" not an allied one, similar how many Americans think ww2 was "won by America" while the rest of the Allies were supposedly playing with their thumbs.

      I do find irony (or karma) in that, in the actor's own words, that Whittaker "had delusions of being Napoleon", and so was taken down by a bust of Wellington to the face. "Met his Waterloo" indeed, his own arrogance did him in.

    • @AtheAetheling
      @AtheAetheling 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Wellington to be fair wasn't a glory hog at first. He credited the Prussians extensively. It was only in later years he started downplaying them, which was probably no coincidence that it coincided with his difficult political career. The man was probably just feeling more hurt than he let on and was looking for his glory back. It doesn't excuse it, but it is likely the reason for his change.
      Interestingly the Prussian general Von Klausewitz seemed to think Wellington would have managed to, only just, win without their help.
      Although the figures for Wellington's forces at Waterloo were a third of them British. The rest were Germans as you say but also Dutch and Belgians. The bulk of the British army was still returning from America.

    • @daetoris4473

      It should also be pointed out, that one of the main reasons Britain is often credited with the glory from Waterloo is because they stayed in the fight with France the longest, when all others fell away. Russia, Prussia, Austria, none could actually stop Napoleon, but Britain could. And did, consistently.

  • @SnipeMD
    @SnipeMD 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    During the production of _The Living Daylights,_ there was the ever looming fear that Bond as a character would start to lose relevancy as we were in the beginning stages of entering a post-Cold War society. Despite Brad Whitaker being a more comical villain than a menacing one, his appearance was actually an important stepping stone in the development of the 007 character as we know him today.
    Whitaker is the first perfect representation of the "modern" bond villain; he maintains the traditional megalomanic additude and lair full of elaborate traps (like the remote-controlled cannon) that other Bond villains like Goldfinger and Max Zorin did while simultaneously being a figurehead representing society's ongoing issue of advanced military technology and weaponry falling in the hands of criminals, terrorists and dictators. As noted by Whitaker himself, the bullets from Bond's Walther PPK (a gun which has a stopping power once described as being "like a brick through a plate-glass window" in _Dr. No)_ now merely bounce off Whitaker's body armor like foam darts from a Nerf gun. Whitaker even goes one step further and rips on Bond's iconic Smith & Wesson line with a one-liner of his own, further cementing Bond's apparent irrelevancy in our society.
    Whitaker's taunting is playful and emblematic of the typical Bond villain banter, but it also accurately mirrors critics of the James Bond series at the time unsure about the series' place in the 21st century. Bond was clearly at a disadvantage throughout the entire fight against a technologically superior and nigh-indestructible foe, but against the odds he still managed to pull out a win.
    While Whitaker is ultimately a lesser villain in the grand scheme of the series, his defeat at the hands of Bond shows why the series will never be irrelevant. Bond won not because he had a bigger or better gun, but instead because of his quick-thinking, ingenuity and a little help from Q-Branch. That is what makes the 007 series special.

    couple of things i've only realized on a recent rewatch:
    1) Whitaker's body armor was so good that he didn't feel any of the force impact from Bond's shots. someone get that to John Wick ASAP.
    2) Pushkin's little grin to Bond's Waterloo joke - Pushkin totally appreciated that one, especially since Napoleon fell to a force including Russia.

    For some reason I remember there being more of the toy soldier booby traps than just the one. This is a good ending, though you can tell the movie is wrapping up at this point and it's more of a perfunctory finish than the usual full-scale villain lair invasion.

    Bond made uncharacteristic mistake of speaking with the villain rather than shooting on sight. Some other Bonds were more cold-blooded. But it sure feels good to talk a little bit to a vanquished foe. :D Bond's opponents never resist that, ever... I think it would be better to just wound the person first, like in both knees, so that even if he retaliates, he won't be on the similar level again. Bond often gets out of such situations without a scar.
