Dalton is an intelligent actor. He decided to play it close to Bond, how Bond is in the books. People didn't like that Bond, too serious, too cold, too close to the nose. They weren't used to that...and they called themselves Bond fans!😂😂

Barry was a true master. Everything we have in 007 music, we have because of him. It's a shame they couldn't get him back for "Licence to Kill," but at least he went out on top with this one.
A timeless classic. Even after years later of listening to this and then finding myself listening to it again its as if time stood still, never gets boring.
"Must be an atmospheric anomaly" "And a cello" "Looks like they just found us" "Salt corrosion" "I've had a few optional extras installed" "Amazing this modern safety glass" "See where this leads to" "Time to leave" "Brace Yourself" "Come on! Quick! Go!" "Glad I insisted you brought that cello" "Sorry" "Not Far now!" "Here, wave this!" "DUCK! WE'VE NOTHING TO DECLARE!" All of Bonds lines in this chase
Just got to see this on the big screen again. It was my first Bond movie back in '87, and it totally blew me away! I think this might just be my favorite of Barry's Bond scores.
We're going through the Bond series and last night came across this film. Soundtrack was fantastic and Timothy Dalton blew us away! Though I like Brosnan as Bond, I think Dalton in Goldeneye would have been killer!
I thought it was just me, but when you watch GoldenEye, it feels like a Dalton Bond movie. It is completely different from Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is not enough and Die another day.
@@Ryan_Thompson_Guitaristindeed it was written with him in mind as bond, not sure why they ultimately went with brosnan though… sigh the things that could have been Also fun fact Dalton was also the first choice for OHMSS and was picked but he turned it down
They planned on making a third film with Dalton called Property of a Lady, with a release scheduled for late 1991/early 1992. Anthony Hopkins would've been the villain. By the time the legal issues were sorted out in 1994, Dalton didn't want to play 007 anymore.
@@srujan00 I absolutely love Dalton as Bond, but there’s a lot of stuff out there that suggests that it was the opposite. Dalton planned to come back for Goldeneye, the Broccoli’s wanted him back, but the higher ups wanted someone new to refresh the series citing Dalton’s previous two films being low grossers as extra proof that they needed someone new to continue. The Broccoli’s let him go and let him claim that it was he himself who decided to walk away as a way for him to not be embarrassed.
IMO, possibly the best Bond music ever. It has the build up and the intensity, and at its time added in a cool modern take with the synced style pop drums. Then mixes it together with the orchestra for greatness.
One of the finest Bond films and one of the best sound tracks of any Bond film. I have the DVD and the CD soundtrack both and never get tired of watching or listening to it
Barry was one of the first film composers ever to use synths in OHMSS. Its interesting to note this occurred when Lazenby first replaced Connery. With this film, there are a lot more synths (check out Into Vienna, the synth punctuated Hercules Takes Off, and the mechanical/looped drums on this track) than in any other Bond score Barry has done since OHMSS. Guess what, it coincides with the departure of Moore and Daltons' first appearance. I guess its Barry's way of bringing something fresh and different to the appearance of a new 007.
Yes, Barry said in interviews that he felt new Bond actors needed a new 'sound'. The electric guitar is Connery's sound, which Barry very clearly emphasized in the gunbarrel from "Diamonds Are Forever", to celebrate his return so to speak. Dalton sounded like the 80s Bond.
Jason Flores Well not anymore apparently. There a lot of love for Tim these days after Daniel Criag won over so many people with his darker, grittier Bond films.
+Jason Flores I watched daylights and license with the expectation of growing a hipster love for dalton, but I honestly didn't like him. he just seemed a bit dry and soulless. you can't just write off the majority opinion as herd mentality
Perhaps because John Barry didn't do any more Bond soundtracks after this one. Brosnan's 4 films were essentially a franchise reboot, it had been so many years since one had been made. And then the Craig era was a re-reboot.
As you pointed out this was Barry's last soundtrack for Bond and the only music ever reused was in the early films by Barry called the 007 theme that played in action scenes .
You can almost see and feel the synth hard beat trying to engulf and eat the sound of erudict instruments. I hope this is the effect Mister Barry intended to achieve. Would be an honor to finally wonder something of such.
No one will ever replace John Barry. Others have tried, and have done great work - but Barry will always be in a class all his own. This soundtrack ranks among his finest work in my estimation - especially the score for the escape from the airbase with mid-air fight. For me, that's as good as it gets in the entire Bond film anthology.
Honestly, I wonder how Bond managed to get Aston Martin into the commie bloc country. It ain't like you could easily bring even a Peugeot into the communist country.
I remember going to see this with my dad. He was a Connery man and wasn't sure about this new guy, but he was "my Bond" even if it was only two movies. I guess my son will be a Craig guy forever.
The Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas. In a double feature with On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I don't think either one gets the respect it deserves.
CrazyDancingJoe agreed. TLD and OHMSS are two of the better Bond films. They catch flack because of who played Bond. Dalton was at least much better than Lazenby. After rewatching them after originally not caring for them you can see past that the main actor. That said OHMSS is a definitely different tone. Dalton also wasn't that bad. The issue was LTK is one of the worst Bond films if not the worst so that basically was the end of him.

Always the one I come back to as well.

When this version of the theme dropped in the pretitle sequence, I was instantly hooked.
Completely agree
John Barry saved his best work till the end.
To quote Marty McFly in regards to moviegoers in '87 when this came out..
"Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it."
honestly this could be said about OHMSS too
Dalton was so ahead of his time, it's amazing.
You’re exactly right
John Barry (RIP) does a masterful job bringing in an electronic sound to the series all the while keeping his classic Bond music.

Such a lovely relationship between a synth and orchestra.

And very handsome. He had the eyes and the smile
Eww no I wished Moore did his movies to take it straight into the Brosnan Era. Dalton was way to basic for Bond

@@epic9256 Dalton was the most accurate of all of the Bonds in relation to how Ian Fleming wrote him.

Possibly the most underrated Bond film.

It's one of the best.

With arguably one of the very best villains, he shouldnt have been killed off.
The 'muscle' is underrated, too. Necros is a great take on the "muscular blonde henchman" trope and he's frighteningly efficient in the scene where he's disguised as a milkman.

Now this soundtrack makes me wonder why this film and Dalton's James Bond are so underrated.
this is the best one!!!
The "dark and gritty" Bond's time hadn't come yet.
*The Living Daylights* is my favorite Bond film, *Goldeneye* and *Goldfinger* were great but this was better
Dalton is an intelligent actor. He decided to play it close to Bond, how Bond is in the books. People didn't like that Bond, too serious, too cold, too close to the nose. They weren't used to that...and they called themselves Bond fans!😂😂
I know!! Have all the books! Agee!
John Barry really did his best Bond score with this one.
Considering this was Barry's last Bond film, he really brought his A-game!
Amazing this modern safety glass!

Salt corrosion
One of the finest pieces of music Barry composed, in one of the greatest car chases in Bond film history.
This whole soundtrack is among his best imho.
Except for the goof of when the Czechoslovak police car sinks in the ice - the circle is much smaller than the original one Bond made.
@@srujan00 Also, if the ice was really that thin, Bond's car would have crashed through the ice immediately
I agree about The Living Daylights having one of the best car chase of any James Bond films. IMO, The Living Daylights and Tommorow Never Dies are tied for best car chase scene of the franchise.
So 80's...
Iove it!
This is my favourite track in all 007 history.
Ky0dar minetoo cause synths and drum machine
Indeed!
Best rendition. Pulsating. Synths and orchestra combined
"Salt corrosion."
In Russian! :P Russian salt lol.
In Soviet Russia, salt corrodes you! (Sorry, couldn’t resist 😆)
Clearly still writing scripts for Roger moore
It was a Czechoslovakia
Thought it was asphalt corrosion
one of the best bond OSTs, very 1980s
John Barry was a very fine musical conductor
He did a great Job on this
Best soundtrack of all the bond films, everything fits perfectly
No such word as "fitted."
Actually it is a word, just used incorrectly here.

"Amazing this Modern safety glass"... in his Killer Welsh accent.... His one liners were only ones Dalton could master in his seriousness💪

Awesome soundtracks, I've only seen this movie once and Dalton didn't disappoint, great movie, underated.
