He was good, he was just unlucky in the timing. I think Bond fans just weren't up to getting attached to a new guy after so many Moore movies. Then Pierce was VERY lucky in his timing, as the 6 year break made Bond "Cool" again.
Dalton was the closest thing to the James Bond from the novels until Daniel Craig. I suppose audiences weren’t ready for the hard edge assassin version of the character because of the Rodger Moore super camp fest of the 70’s-80’s.
Re: Felix and him surviving the sharks - yes they did pull him out, but not to safety. As he's being lowered into the shark pool Leiter says to Sanchez "killing me won't stop anything!", to which Franz replies "there are worse things than dying, hombre" ... presumably because rather than kill him Sanchez wants Leiter to suffer the torment of having to go on living after being severely maimed and seeing his wife murdered. His subsequent line about this being the first day of the rest of Leiter's life is a cruel reference to this. That's why he is only lowered halfway into the pool, and why you see Sanchez motion for him to be pulled back up before the sharks can devour him completely.
@@shaftshaft That scene at the end in the hospital bed where he's all happy is one of the most ludicrous scenes in Bond history. And that's saying something! Maybe it was the morphine I don't know
That’s how it was in the book Live And Let Die, but not played out like that in terms of the dialogue. He’s left wrapped up in a bed, missing part of his arm & his leg, as well as other wounds, but specifically not dead. It takes him off of the case & is a warning to Bond. As originally written, he was supposed to have lethal injuries, but in a later draft he’s kept barely alive.
@@ForestKicks I imagine that he had already gotten much of his grieving out of the way and was simply elated that Bond had toppled Sanchez’s entire empire. Moments of levity aren’t uncommon, even in times of mourning.
License To Kill is HUGELY underrated. It came out way too early during a time when over-the-top action movies were the norm. Dalton’s performance was way ahead of it’s time. LTK is easily a top-5 Bond film for me.
100% agree, people are dcks about Dalton Bond but both of his movies are a solitary worth the time. I’ve watched and rewatched them both dozens of times. Besides, he was Baron in Flash Gordon, how you gonna hate on that?
Licence To Kill is my second favourite Bond film after Tomorrow Never Dies. To me it really stands out from all the others. And if Dalton were able to be in more Bond films, he'd probably be my favourite.
Love the Licence Revoked at the end. For those who don’t know, that was originally going to be the title of the film but they “thought American audiences would think he’d had his driving licence taken off him”
Kudos to the stunt drivers who really drove the 18 wheeler on one side for the scene. No modell, no CGI. A real truck. And yes, Timothy Dalton still is the best Bond.
@@hardwirecars Pierce Brosnan in a vaacum is a really great Bond that has the talent to pull off being brooding and light-hearted at the same time... too bad that after GoldenEye he just does his damnest to polish progressively worse turds that try too hard. It's like Henry Cavill as Superman, it's great casting... WHY don't you give him better material???
13:33 I think there's a deleted scene here that introduces Kwang a bit more, but got cut because of the whole espionage thing, you can see they cut bits in the torture scene that follows as there's some slightly odd cuts in there
We really should add "It wasn't personal" to the list of cliche lines that don't make anything better, akin to "We're the same, you and I" or trying to think you have anything to prove in a mano e mano instead of just calling a character out on cheating or being weaker or such.
I finally gave the Dalton movies a watch for the first time, and this has become one of my favorite Bond movies of the bunch. Love it and so happy for this vid :)
yeah i don't rlly agree with the sentiment of 'this movie is so forgettable' from CinemaSins but to each their own. I'm glad Dalton is getting more attention and appreciation though considering he was always ignored out for a long time
Dalton was sought out after as soon as Connery left the role in the 60s. However, Dalton felt as though he was too young for the role. He then met with the producers several times in the following years about the role. He almost didn't get it again due to his schedule conflicts, but fortunately Living Daylights was delayed long enough for Dalton to take the role. I too wish that Dalton came on earlier; he deserved more than two films.
Fun fact about the reference in this film to Bond being married once: Timothy Dalton was one of the actors who was considered to replace Bond when they were making On Her Majesty's Secret Service (AKA the film where Bond got married). I believe he was even offered the part for OHMSS, but he turned it down because he felt he was too young for the role at the time.
Well, if there hadn't been a dispute over distribution rights and Broccoli hadn't tried to lock Dalton into another multi-film contract in 1994, Dalton would've stayed.
Since when did "licence" become an American word? In UK English, the word is "licence" when it is a noun and "license" when it is a verb. In US English it is "license" for both a noun and a verb. So we have a British film (movie) about a British secret agent who got his licence to kill from the British Government. Tell me again why they should spell it the American way?
I just realized that since they’re doing each of the actors’ last bond films, they will be doing No Time To Die just in time! Can’t wait for Die Another Day and No Time To Die videos.
Although Connery did do one more Bond film in the 80's, but is really not considered a real Bond film. But they did have the rights, so they used them.
@@JimmyMon666 Possibly my favourite Bond moment is in that movie, where James Bond sticks a guy in a closet with supposedly an explosive that will go off if he moves. And later he comes back to retrieve it, that guy still standing in the same position and it turns out to be his cigar case.
Talisa Soto in and of herself deserves about 50 sins for her "acting". But you can even it up by taking them all off for Robert Davi's intense performance. Even though he only played a simple drug lord, he is one of the best villains in the history of the Bond franchise.
This is my favorite bond film, dark, moody and ahead of its time for the franchise. It also has my favorite theme tune. Also, licence is spelt correctly, it's the English way if spelling it.
Christopher Nolan straight up uses the same sequence and also the scene in which Sanchezs prisoner transport truck is driven into the ocean seem very similar to another scene from The Dark knight Rises
4:45 Actually Timothy Dalton would have been old enough to have been married in 1969, since he was 43 in 1989 and was actually offered the role of Bond in 1968 but turned it down.
"I'm going to have to ask that each of you put on one of these. It's for your own safety, so I'm sure you'll understand" "You would think this instruction would be fairly easy to follow and in no way offensive to anyone. You would think." I'm dead 💀
Dalton was a great Bond. Charming and handsome but also with the air of being a borderline sociopath and cold blooded killer when it comes down to brass tacks. He should have gotten the job a little earlier and Roger Moore should have had a few less movies.
In this film they cut the truck brake hoses and the truck rolls away. Actually the air pressure holds the brakes off so cutting the hoses would lock the brakes on. Another sin please.
It's the Best James Bond movie for me, the most violent Bond adventure at this date. Dalton was ahead of his time and he portrait the Ian Fleming faitfuly to the screen. in this adventure he only needs his abilities whit no MI6 or Aston Martin's to proof he is a profesional assesin in cold blood. For me the Best James Bond movie. 😎
I’m glad you gave a sin off for Wayne Newton. As many things as I liked about this movie, his is the only part I remember without being reminded (even though Robert Davi was terrific).
He did it in the 2 movies, but then the Cold War ended and James Bond was all of a sudden not that important anymore. Goldeneye was a good comeback though.
@@Orvieta They had a third one all set to go for 1991, but MGM was an absolute mess by then with the constant takeovers and management changes. As a result, there were a series of lawsuits that killed any chance of the movie going forward. By the time they got it resolved in 1993, it was pretty much decided to make a change. Had the 1991 movie come out, the movie likely would have been called The Property of a Lady, which is one of the few Fleming titles to not be officially used.
@@Orvieta he is one of the best Bond's. I think he was improving, evolving as the two films went on. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if he was considered top Bond had he stayed on for a third. Oh yeah GoldenEye's great.
if you think you dont need to watch this film because Jeremy takes the piss then youre an absolute fool and cheating yourself of one of the best Bond films, far from "forgettable" its considered one of the best in the canon, Jeremy is either fan baiting or a genuine moron.
Every movie has sins though, every movie could have there own cinema sins episodes that doesn't mean they are bad movies. You shouldn't take everything at face value. Also imo Cinema sins has dropped in quality they are nitpicking most of the time and the jokes are worse (not all the time) but the older videos were more consistent.
Bond didn't derail a Chinese operation because Hong Kong didn't return to China until 1997, eight years after this movie. Also Anthony Zerbe's death is especially funny to me in this movie because he dies in exactly the same way in Star Trek: Insurrection. It's like the most crazily specific typecasting ever.
What a twat. Definitely don't watch this channel for the political jabs that seem to be in every video these days. I guess you don't hear it in the media enough already?
@@garyjones2561 personally, I watch stuff like this to escape from the non-stop political and social upheaval that has flooded every aspect of life these days. Everybody has their own opinion and i dare say nobody came to cinema sins for it's political commentary.
I didn't realize until now that the Black Johnson from Die Hard was also in this. Was it a coincidence or done on purpose? I like to think that Sanchez immediately comes to the conclusion that Krest, who he sees as an idiot lucky enough to rescue him, betrayed him since he thought he was so feared that any other person coming for him personally would be impossible. Benicio del Toro as Dario is the scariest Bond villain ever. While I think Living Daylights is the better Dalton movie, Licence is still good and the first that went all out to get a PG13 rating.
1. Bond says the tide will bring their boat in to shore 2. Q can put stuff in the diplomatic bag to bring it into the country 3. Felix was probably high as a kite on morphine in the final scene.
Its not the best Bond movie ever since it doesn't follow the usual plot of the pre-Craig era but its a good movie. Yea, there are some inconsistancies but its made up by a ruthless villain and Timothy Dalton, who I believe is the best Bond. Sad that he had only two movies as Bond, but somehow his appearance in "Looney Toons Back in Action" is a suitable conclusion for him as a spy. BTW, Bond is not being logical since he's on a vendetta, so it makes sense for him to mess things up and not be professional, thus no reason to not sin those. PS: Glad there are others in the comments who also think Dalton is awesome!
Octopussy was the first Bond movie I ever saw, therefore Moore was my Bond until Brosnon and then Craig. Octopussy still holds a special place in my heart. Would love to see more comedic takes on that movie.
My condolences that Octopussy was your first film, surely one of the worst films of the canon, especially the ridiculous notion that Bond could hide in bear suits while being watched or have time to get dressed up as a clown and do full make up when the detonation of a bomb was on the line, truly ridiculous plotlining.
@@theyellowlightsaber3193 I actually like all of the Bond films, each in their own way and tone. But Octopussy will always be one of my favorites. Heh, and I also think each of them have their own issues with ridiculous gimmicks and plotlines. But I still love them. =)
@@midnightblue6668 Well yeh, they do, and the whole race to stop the detonator is fine its just all the guff surrounding it which loses me totally. Theres just too much corn in that film Im afraid.
People complain about the two Dalton movies but I watched the man with the golden gun (cringy & cliche) last week and it was really terrible, even for it’s time. Licence and daylights are 10 times better. Dalton is much more believable and physical.
Fantastic Bond movie. Just fantastic. I'm willing to overlook a few moments such as Felix Leiter smiling while recovering in the hospital bed (his new wife had been killed days prior). The villains in this movie are the BEST. Del Toro and Davi are awesome. Dalton is so underrated. My only regret is that he never made a 3rd Bond film.
To be fair, anyone who wanted to know how to make cocaine probably doesn't need this film to teach them. Unless someone in 1989 had no idea what to do in life and decided "hey that looks pretty neat, maybe I'll become a scientist and work for a notorious drug lord."
This Bond created the formula for all following Bond movies, and action movies for that matter. Bond gets captured, check. Bond has a underwater fight, check. Bond poses as a criminal/gets disavowed, check. Bond gets in a car chase, check. Bond doesn't land a plane, check. This movie is perfect, except for the execution.
@@CarlDraper I know, but this movie had them all in one, and with a very modern and dark portrayal of Bond. They knew where they wanted to take Bond but the fans just rejected Dalton.
10:41 No Doubt License to Kill 1989 was an Underrated Bond Flick and if you don't To left the Woman In Red is Lovely Talisa Soto Benjamin Bratts Wife aka Katana from Mortal Kombat this was Her First Film!
18:57 Thinking that fire-suppression systems in labs use water instead of halon gas. The en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA_704 W rating exists for a reason! **DING!**
9:04 To be fair, it is kinda hard to properly stab a guy with a knife underwater, you need a pretty great amount of arm strength to thrust hard enough to do any damage... I assume. Not that I've ever tried to stab rogue secret agents trying to thwart my illicit drug-dealing business, while under water. But hypothetically, cutting would be easier than stabbing. Of course, a harpoon gun would be pretty useful for heart-penetration related activities. Also, at 19:09 while the Lab is on fire, you can literally see a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall through the open door!
Everyone was really cutting a rug during the party until Thursday after midnight when the Orientals rug party began and everything became that much more rugged.
Maybe Q used LIttle Nellie? have you thought about that? :P Also yes this takes some little liberties with physics but it's nothing compared with the Furious Franchise
Hey CinemaSins, can you do "Batteries not Included, 1987" in honor of the late Frank McRae? Thanks for your consideration Let's talk about my man, Frank McRae, the former NFL Player and a Freaking Legend, to me at least, sadly he recently passed away in April this year....Was Excellent in Batteries not Included back 1987 and was in many other movies like, Last Action Hero and National Lampoon's Vacation just to name a couple..
Even better.....do "Used Cars" in honor of Frank McRae. A scream fest of a comedy that nobody saw in 1980. Even funnier was the DVD commentary with Kurt Russell, Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale talking about all the things they couldn't get away with had they made the movie in later years.
Not to mention his iconic role in ‘48 Hrs’ as the enraged, imposing police captain, which became an oft-repeated character type in countless buddy-cop movies from then on. He even had an opportunity to satirize the role in ‘The Last Action Hero.’
One of my favorite Bond actors and one of my favorite Bond films. I was 2 when the one came out. Here's to hoping he makes a come for one film or something.
Love it and a lot of good points made such as Sanchez being unable to put two and two together despite being smart .... The opening sequence very carefully ensures that Sanchez never gets a good look at Bond, even when he's on the plane (he has his back to him the whole time) ... plus Leiter was now a DEA agent and so his files would show no professional connection to Bond in this regard, who being MI6 would not have much operational history with drug enforcement in South America and so be off Sanchez radar .... The only surviving henchman that fought Bond personally is Dario, and his absence is explained as him being in his native Honduras getting those famous stingers from the Contras while Bond and Pam are doing their thing in Isthmus City, and indeed as soon as they meet at the Olympiatic temple lab, Dario recognises Bond ..... The novelisation and comic book adaptation make this more clear, but you can still understand it from just the movie.
@@garyjones2561 Doesn’t apply. The only crew member who ever got a good look at him was the one who took a harpoon to the chest. Plus, Bond was never anywhere near the remaining crew mates when they arrived in Isthmus City.
Timothy Dalton I see him I always think about that scene in Hot Fuzz when his chin was impaled on the spur of that model church. And he talked about how he really needed some ice cream.
Licence to Kill a Die Hard reunion of sorts with that films Agent Johnson & Johnson actors Grand L Bush and Robert Davi playing on opposite side of the Law. Die Hard composer Robert Mark Kamen makes it a trifecta as replacement for the late ⏰ John Barry. The music here even uses ques from the Lethal Weapon movies, not surprising since Kamen scored Lethal Weapon 2 this same year (so he probably reused the music queues).
It's also a pre-meeting for 'Mortal Kombat' with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung) and Talisa Soto (Lupe Lamora) ... It's brief, but they are in the same shot for about four seconds when he and his female assistant walk out of the casino and exchange looks with Bond .... I remember that being an interesting thing in 1995 when MK came out and wasn't yet the cult phenomenon it is today.
They are doing this for every Bond actors final movie, they already have one out for Diamonds are Forever and A View To A Kill, I’m guessing Die Another Day and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service are next.
The best James Bond films: 1965, 1967, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1995. *** Although I really-really like Roger Moore's "fantastic movies" TSWLM and MR, I also like that brutal violence in LTK!!! It was a film I was very much looking forward to! The best stuff in LTK is: Dalton and Davi, violence, locations, action/stunts and of course Talisa Soto! Probably the sexiest woman EVER???
@4:35: The Term you're looking for is Sliding Timescale. Basically, time moves differently in the Bond Universe as opposed to our RL universe. The character is the same from Dr. No through Die Another Day. It is the same phenomenon at work in South Park, the Simpsons, Family Guy, Seseme Street and basically every single cartoon and comics universe to explain away why characters don't age. JB is the only franchise I know of that does this in a live-action venue.

Patrick from Sponge Bob has a fishing license giving him a License to kill as well.
Even though he only did 2 Bond films he left a lasting impression with many fans of the Franchise. "The name's Dalton...Timothy Dalton".
He was good, he was just unlucky in the timing. I think Bond fans just weren't up to getting attached to a new guy after so many Moore movies. Then Pierce was VERY lucky in his timing, as the 6 year break made Bond "Cool" again.
Nah. His movies weren't very memorable
He is my favorite bond.
I dont think Dalton was the best choice but it makes the 007 films watchable.
Dalton was the closest thing to the James Bond from the novels until Daniel Craig. I suppose audiences weren’t ready for the hard edge assassin version of the character because of the Rodger Moore super camp fest of the 70’s-80’s.
We all know Bond eventually retired as 007, changed his name to Skinner, and moved to the quiet town of Sandford.
For the greater good…
But then came a cop named Nicholas Angel...
Yarp!
I heard he was a slasher.......of prices.
"GET OUT OF MY VILLAGE!"

i just love how he sins benicio del toro for literally just being there.
Re: Felix and him surviving the sharks - yes they did pull him out, but not to safety.
As he's being lowered into the shark pool Leiter says to Sanchez "killing me won't stop anything!", to which Franz replies "there are worse things than dying, hombre" ... presumably because rather than kill him Sanchez wants Leiter to suffer the torment of having to go on living after being severely maimed and seeing his wife murdered. His subsequent line about this being the first day of the rest of Leiter's life is a cruel reference to this.

4:45 Actually Timothy Dalton would have been old enough to have been married in 1969, since he was 43 in 1989 and was actually offered the role of Bond in 1968 but turned it down.
Holy Cow. Kitana and Shang Tsung in a Bond movie.
"I'm going to have to ask that each of you put on one of these. It's for your own safety, so I'm sure you'll understand"
"You would think this instruction would be fairly easy to follow and in no way offensive to anyone. You would think."
I'm dead 💀
See, this is why you should've worn a mask. ;)
Dalton was a great Bond. Charming and handsome but also with the air of being a borderline sociopath and cold blooded killer when it comes down to brass tacks. He should have gotten the job a little earlier and Roger Moore should have had a few less movies.
That bar fight shoot out in Licence to Kill felt so unBond like. More like a early 90s Patrick Swayze or Kurt Russell film.
Dirty Love
The only problem with Licence to Kill is that it's not The Living Daylights.
13:26 Holy crap it's Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat 1995. I looked it up! Talk about surprise cameos.
Also, obviously, Kitana.
This is one of my favorite Bonds...because he's on a personal vendetta💪🏼
In this film they cut the truck brake hoses and the truck rolls away. Actually the air pressure holds the brakes off so cutting the hoses would lock the brakes on. Another sin please.
It's the Best James Bond movie for me, the most violent Bond adventure at this date. Dalton was ahead of his time and he portrait the Ian Fleming faitfuly to the screen. in this adventure he only needs his abilities whit no MI6 or Aston Martin's to proof he is a profesional assesin in cold blood.
For me the Best James Bond movie. 😎
Carey Lowell in the scenes with Wayne Newton was just brilliant.
Bless your heart.
I’m glad you gave a sin off for Wayne Newton. As many things as I liked about this movie, his is the only part I remember without being reminded (even though Robert Davi was terrific).
The existence of his character also shows that the writers were definitely worried the movie's plot might be considered too dark.
12:35 well you see, Jeremy, the explosives were disguised as commonplace items so as to render them undetectible.
This dark tone suites Dalton's Bond. I'm convinced if he did a third film. Dalton would have knocked it out of the park.
He did it in the 2 movies, but then the Cold War ended and James Bond was all of a sudden not that important anymore. Goldeneye was a good comeback though.
@@Orvieta They had a third one all set to go for 1991, but MGM was an absolute mess by then with the constant takeovers and management changes. As a result, there were a series of lawsuits that killed any chance of the movie going forward. By the time they got it resolved in 1993, it was pretty much decided to make a change. Had the 1991 movie come out, the movie likely would have been called The Property of a Lady, which is one of the few Fleming titles to not be officially used.
Apparently he was supposed to be in Goldeneye
@@Orvieta he is one of the best Bond's.
I think he was improving, evolving as the two films went on. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if he was considered top Bond had he stayed on for a third. Oh yeah GoldenEye's great.
@@proa007 Thanks for letting me remember that, completely forgot about that title...the studio shenanigans don't interest me much.
Like every new entry in this hilarious series, it’s getting an automatic I-don’t-even-need-to-watch-it-first-Thumbs-Up from yours truly. 👍🏼
if you think you dont need to watch this film because Jeremy takes the piss then youre an absolute fool and cheating yourself of one of the best Bond films, far from "forgettable" its considered one of the best in the canon, Jeremy is either fan baiting or a genuine moron.
Every movie has sins though, every movie could have there own cinema sins episodes that doesn't mean they are bad movies. You shouldn't take everything at face value. Also imo Cinema sins has dropped in quality they are nitpicking most of the time and the jokes are worse (not all the time) but the older videos were more consistent.
Definitely Jeremy’s best ever reading of the “discount [actor’s name] sin!
Bond didn't derail a Chinese operation because Hong Kong didn't return to China until 1997, eight years after this movie.
Also Anthony Zerbe's death is especially funny to me in this movie because he dies in exactly the same way in Star Trek: Insurrection. It's like the most crazily specific typecasting ever.
He also got his head cut off the same year in a Columbo episode. Still scary.
@@garyjones2561 Yeah he sees to be an actor people associate with bad ends in his film and TV appearances. Kinda like Sean Bean.
@@IsmailofeRegime Anthony Zerbe did a lot of guest bad guy appearances on Classic Mission Impossible.
I had the exact same reaction as him when I found out that young dude was Benicio del Toro
did you sneak a shot in at anti-maskers at 17:59. absolute gold :)
What a twat. Definitely don't watch this channel for the political jabs that seem to be in every video these days. I guess you don't hear it in the media enough already?
@@Redrocketboy420 Oooh... 😁 U gon' do him like that
@@garyjones2561 personally, I watch stuff like this to escape from the non-stop political and social upheaval that has flooded every aspect of life these days. Everybody has their own opinion and i dare say nobody came to cinema sins for it's political commentary.
@@Redrocketboy420 U said it.
One of the most underrated Bond films and theme songs Glady's brought it and so did Sanchez, and Mr. Bond!
Perfect timing just cooked dinner time to watch this.
I Absolutely Love CinemaSins Videos ❣️
I didn't realize until now that the Black Johnson from Die Hard was also in this. Was it a coincidence or done on purpose?
I like to think that Sanchez immediately comes to the conclusion that Krest, who he sees as an idiot lucky enough to rescue him, betrayed him since he thought he was so feared that any other person coming for him personally would be impossible.
Benicio del Toro as Dario is the scariest Bond villain ever.
While I think Living Daylights is the better Dalton movie, Licence is still good and the first that went all out to get a PG13 rating.
1. Bond says the tide will bring their boat in to shore 2. Q can put stuff in the diplomatic bag to bring it into the country 3. Felix was probably high as a kite on morphine in the final scene.
Its not the best Bond movie ever since it doesn't follow the usual plot of the pre-Craig era but its a good movie. Yea, there are some inconsistancies but its made up by a ruthless villain and Timothy Dalton, who I believe is the best Bond. Sad that he had only two movies as Bond, but somehow his appearance in "Looney Toons Back in Action" is a suitable conclusion for him as a spy.
BTW, Bond is not being logical since he's on a vendetta, so it makes sense for him to mess things up and not be professional, thus no reason to not sin those.
PS: Glad there are others in the comments who also think Dalton is awesome!
Rassilon just casually avoiding the Time War to run around on earth.
Octopussy was the first Bond movie I ever saw, therefore Moore was my Bond until Brosnon and then Craig. Octopussy still holds a special place in my heart. Would love to see more comedic takes on that movie.
Kamal Khan is a legend of a villain, personally one of my favourite Bond villains, him and Jaws probably :)
Can they even write Octopussy on a title and not have it flagged?
My condolences that Octopussy was your first film, surely one of the worst films of the canon, especially the ridiculous notion that Bond could hide in bear suits while being watched or have time to get dressed up as a clown and do full make up when the detonation of a bomb was on the line, truly ridiculous plotlining.
@@theyellowlightsaber3193 I actually like all of the Bond films, each in their own way and tone. But Octopussy will always be one of my favorites. Heh, and I also think each of them have their own issues with ridiculous gimmicks and plotlines. But I still love them. =)
@@midnightblue6668 Well yeh, they do, and the whole race to stop the detonator is fine its just all the guff surrounding it which loses me totally. Theres just too much corn in that film Im afraid.
9:46 I can't believe you didn't mention the size of the hole in the wall that her shotgun left
Dalton wasn't a bad bond. I much prefer his first film though: The Living Daylights. I've always loved the cello-case sledding scene.
Dalton was too good for the writing at this point.
@@bobbyfeet2240
"We've got nothing to report!"
"Except for this cello!"
I served him a few times in a restaurant in Dublin. Really down to earth fella.
People complain about the two Dalton movies but I watched the man with the golden gun (cringy & cliche) last week and it was really terrible, even for it’s time. Licence and daylights are 10 times better. Dalton is much more believable and physical.
@@Quetzen "Nothing to declare!" as they were passing a border checkpoint.
The wheelie truck was special built for that stunt.
The rest of those stunts were just crazy people doing awesome things with custom KW's
Another classic James Bond !!!! Yes 🙌🏾 Jeremy has been killing it !!
@its fine loser!
He also had a licence to do so!
@@MaiAolei 😌 I see what you did there 🙌🏾
Alright here me out, James Cameron's Titanic next please sin that movie next even though it will ruin it for me.
This is one of my favorite Bond films. I love Timothy Dalton’s Bond, though, so I’m a little bit biased.
@20:20.. one of my fav sins "this works".. happy I got to see the no:1 contender. 🤣🤣🤣👍
Fantastic Bond movie. Just fantastic. I'm willing to overlook a few moments such as Felix Leiter smiling while recovering in the hospital bed (his new wife had been killed days prior). The villains in this movie are the BEST. Del Toro and Davi are awesome. Dalton is so underrated. My only regret is that he never made a 3rd Bond film.
To be fair, Felix was probably high as a kite on morphine.
I’ve been loving all the Bond content
A farewell to arms in Hemingway's house. Smart joke. Should have been a sin off.
I gotta say the cocaine-making scene 18:08 is quite realistic lol can't believe they actually filmed this
To be fair, anyone who wanted to know how to make cocaine probably doesn't need this film to teach them. Unless someone in 1989 had no idea what to do in life and decided "hey that looks pretty neat, maybe I'll become a scientist and work for a notorious drug lord."
This Bond created the formula for all following Bond movies, and action movies for that matter. Bond gets captured, check. Bond has a underwater fight, check. Bond poses as a criminal/gets disavowed, check. Bond gets in a car chase, check. Bond doesn't land a plane, check. This movie is perfect, except for the execution.
a lot of those things were from previous bond outings
@@CarlDraper I know, but this movie had them all in one, and with a very modern and dark portrayal of Bond. They knew where they wanted to take Bond but the fans just rejected Dalton.
10:41 No Doubt License to Kill 1989 was an Underrated Bond Flick and if you don't To left the Woman In Red is Lovely Talisa Soto Benjamin Bratts Wife aka Katana from Mortal Kombat this was Her First Film!
18:57 Thinking that fire-suppression systems in labs use water instead of halon gas. The en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA_704 W rating exists for a reason! **DING!**
Really enjoying all the bond films you’ve been doing
9:04 To be fair, it is kinda hard to properly stab a guy with a knife underwater, you need a pretty great amount of arm strength to thrust hard enough to do any damage...
I assume. Not that I've ever tried to stab rogue secret agents trying to thwart my illicit drug-dealing business, while under water. But hypothetically, cutting would be easier than stabbing.
Of course, a harpoon gun would be pretty useful for heart-penetration related activities.
Also, at 19:09 while the Lab is on fire, you can literally see a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall through the open door!
Everyone was really cutting a rug during the party until Thursday after midnight when the Orientals rug party began and everything became that much more rugged.
I think LTK is a underrated Bond Film, Dalton is a good Bond and I like the stunts and plot.
i was a little kid when this came out, that head-exploding scene gave me nightmares for months
Well wth were you doing watching it? 😁 I 1st saw it as a teen and it scared me!
I freaking love this guy I haven't laughed so hard at a bond film since they brought back an aging Sean Connery for one more movie
007: I'm coming with you"
Felix: "OK but strictly as an observer"
I about fell off my chair at that one, haha! 😂
Maybe Q used LIttle Nellie? have you thought about that? :P
Also yes this takes some little liberties with physics but it's nothing compared with the Furious Franchise
Awesome Work Bro Thanks 👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸
Hey CinemaSins, can you do "Batteries not Included, 1987" in honor of the late Frank McRae? Thanks for your consideration
Let's talk about my man, Frank McRae, the former NFL Player and a Freaking Legend, to me at least, sadly he recently passed away in April this year....Was Excellent in Batteries not Included back 1987 and was in many other movies like, Last Action Hero and National Lampoon's Vacation just to name a couple..
Even better.....do "Used Cars" in honor of Frank McRae. A scream fest of a comedy that nobody saw in 1980. Even funnier was the DVD commentary with Kurt Russell, Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale talking about all the things they couldn't get away with had they made the movie in later years.
SLLLLLAAAAAAATTTTTTEEEERRRRRRR!!!!
(Glass shatters)
Not to mention his iconic role in ‘48 Hrs’ as the enraged, imposing police captain, which became an oft-repeated character type in countless buddy-cop movies from then on.
He even had an opportunity to satirize the role in ‘The Last Action Hero.’
07:43 the fact that he makes eye-contact with the camera makes me think he ad-libbed the line, and thinks it's super-clever lol
Keep doing the old Bonds…these are amazing and just highlight how far the character has come.
One of my favorite Bond actors and one of my favorite Bond films. I was 2 when the one came out. Here's to hoping he makes a come for one film or something.
"Buy him A new leg or something" bond has NHS access and so would felix
How would an American agent have NHS?
@@markokoume9343 I think he just means "health insurance" which the US Government does provide to its employees
Stinger missiles lock in on a heat source; so the the trick with the truck would not have worked.
Love it and a lot of good points made such as Sanchez being unable to put two and two together despite being smart .... The opening sequence very carefully ensures that Sanchez never gets a good look at Bond, even when he's on the plane (he has his back to him the whole time) ... plus Leiter was now a DEA agent and so his files would show no professional connection to Bond in this regard, who being MI6 would not have much operational history with drug enforcement in South America and so be off Sanchez radar .... The only surviving henchman that fought Bond personally is Dario, and his absence is explained as him being in his native Honduras getting those famous stingers from the Contras while Bond and Pam are doing their thing in Isthmus City, and indeed as soon as they meet at the Olympiatic temple lab, Dario recognises Bond ..... The novelisation and comic book adaptation make this more clear, but you can still understand it from just the movie.
Yeah, Dario may not've been able to warn Sanchez, but what about the Wavekrest crew?
@@garyjones2561 Doesn’t apply. The only crew member who ever got a good look at him was the one who took a harpoon to the chest. Plus, Bond was never anywhere near the remaining crew mates when they arrived in Isthmus City.
09:46 fairly obscure but awesome 80s sitcom reference and Cinema sins a removal of 10 sins.
Sin Counter: -09
Timothy Dalton I see him I always think about that scene in Hot Fuzz when his chin was impaled on the spur of that model church. And he talked about how he really needed some ice cream.
"There's plenty of ice cream down at the station"
Shout out to the "Out of This World" reference!!!
Licence to Kill a Die Hard reunion of sorts with that films Agent Johnson & Johnson actors Grand L Bush and Robert Davi playing on opposite side of the Law. Die Hard composer Robert Mark Kamen makes it a trifecta as replacement for the late ⏰ John Barry. The music here even uses ques from the Lethal Weapon movies, not surprising since Kamen scored Lethal Weapon 2 this same year (so he probably reused the music queues).
It's also a pre-meeting for 'Mortal Kombat' with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung) and Talisa Soto (Lupe Lamora) ... It's brief, but they are in the same shot for about four seconds when he and his female assistant walk out of the casino and exchange looks with Bond .... I remember that being an interesting thing in 1995 when MK came out and wasn't yet the cult phenomenon it is today.
They are doing this for every Bond actors final movie, they already have one out for Diamonds are Forever and A View To A Kill, I’m guessing Die Another Day and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service are next.
The best James Bond films: 1965, 1967, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1995. *** Although I really-really like Roger Moore's "fantastic movies" TSWLM and MR, I also like that brutal violence in LTK!!! It was a film I was very much looking forward to! The best stuff in LTK is: Dalton and Davi, violence, locations, action/stunts and of course Talisa Soto! Probably the sexiest woman EVER???
@4:35: The Term you're looking for is Sliding Timescale. Basically, time moves differently in the Bond Universe as opposed to our RL universe. The character is the same from Dr. No through Die Another Day. It is the same phenomenon at work in South Park, the Simpsons, Family Guy, Seseme Street and basically every single cartoon and comics universe to explain away why characters don't age. JB is the only franchise I know of that does this in a live-action venue.
