you are not dom ive been a staunch dalton defender for years and its wonderful to finally see him getting some appreciation on these threads. It has taken a fair few years but im pleased to see quite a lot of praise for his version of bond. I think the problem was it was way ahead of its time and audiences were probably not ready for such a dramatic change of tone.
Definitely, such a shame he didn't get to do more. Fleming would have approved, I think. I love both of Dalton's films, when I saw The Living Daylights at the age of 12, it totally blew me away. Still does. One of the very best, I reckon.
mts ts I also have the feeling Dalton is underrated because he has done only two films. If he had done, say, five the audience would have been much more used to him.
3:31 is John Barry's way of saying: 'welcome to a new era of Bond' - a grand departure away from those slow, creeping, haunting orchestral overtures to the James Bond theme. What a man. What a Bond. What a film.
Not _especially_ before his time. His approach worked *really well* with the slight Roger Moore hangover. It worked like....like....like that little bit of mint jelly you get with your lamb chops. A contrast and a counterpoint, yet somehow they go together and achieve a complete whole. That's what's missing in the Craig era--the deftness, the lightness of touch, through which a dark Bond grounds it.
Dalton was awesome as bond. To date, this is still my favorite bond movie. Loved how he operated like Indiana jones... Got the job done, but always by the seat of his paints. Grounded him more then any other Bond to me.
Dalton was a great Bond. The producers had their eye on him going back to OHMSS. He had the gumption to acknowledge he was too young to play him at that point. Great theatrical actor. He knew exactly how to play Bond. True to the books in terms of portrayal of the character. I agree with some of the comments down here that he was before his time. Anyone seen him in Penny Dreadful? He's a fantastic actor!
We can only imagine what could have been if he was in ‘Goldeneye’: his ruthlessness battling it out with Alex Trevelyan, pissing off Valentin Zukovsky and getting sexual with Xenia Onatopp
It seems like there’s a an age bracket established by Bond actors. Roger Moore wanted to stop because he was getting old, and an actor who was rumored to play Bond said he was too young for the role. That’s something!
JAMES BOND WAS NOT AN ASSASSIN NOR COLD-BLOODED FFS! Everyone and their granny now says and thinks this. Actually read the books, James Bond was a spy with a special "licence to kill" and a tiny sidearm as an emergency thing, and the SIS would use the double-O section VERY occasionally for really necessary assassinations abroad. He was NOT a hit-man, he was a spy and secret government investigator. He also literally is described many times as never killing in cold blood and having a real dislike of doing so. Most of his jobs were investigatory work that just happen to land him in so much difficulty that he is forced to shoot his way out or escape in some dramatic fashion. In about 2 stories he was actually sent on a hit job, and those were very rare often with even M humming and hawing over whether or not to go ahead with it at all. In fact, a few of the novels explain how most of the time Bond is stuck in an office doing paperwork even. I swear people are so thick and gullible. Literally everyone says now Bond is a "cold-blooded assassin". For anyone who has actually read and paid attention to the novels that is like hearing everyone saying an apple is an orange... I do not know where this massive ignorance surrounding the original character of James Bond came from, but it's total bollox. He actively avoids killing anyone unless they are imminently trying to kill him or others first. The very few times he is forced to kill (or attempt to anyway) in cold blood, he utterly reels from it and tries to avoid doing it. It's clearly stated in many of the novels and is a major part of his character.
He was supposed to do 1 more in '91 but due to the powers to be involved in a lawsuit it took a 5 year hiatus. After everything was settle , TD was still up to do 1 more but Cubby Broccoli told him he would have to make 5 more films since it was a 5 year hiatus then that's when TD declined and Pierce Brosnan replaced him for the next 8 years.
The music in every scene is so well done and it makes the film as good as it is. He is a master and will always be associated with Bond. Bond wouldn't be Bond without him.
Fantastic music. The film is and always was underrated. It was the last Bond movie released during the cold war. An very topical geo-political storyline with Jihadis featuring prominently. It was 10 years ahead of its time.
actually he was scheduled to do 3 but due to the 6 yr legal hiatus between ltk and ge he left cause he no longer wanted to play bond...james bond you have just read a james bond fact from john rooney thats my alias my real name will never be mentioned ever in this universe have a good day weekend whatever day it is when you read this comment
He only did two because Licence to Kill never smashed the box office in America and audience just weren't buying into him and the contract with the 007 crew and MGM had ended because of it as Licence to Kill was too over rated. At the same time Albert Broccoli took heart problems and stopped producing until his daughter took over in 1994 and asked Timothy Dalton to return but he thought with 5 years having passed that he was getting too old for the role and the role went to Pierce Brosnan who was originally suggested for bond in The Living Daylights
Eon did start some pre-production work on the 17th movie provisionally entitled “The Property of a Lady” but obviously this came to nothing. However some elements e.g. the assault on the Soviet nerve gas plant were taken over for Goldeneye.
@@gregkirby9059 not actually. Dalton was offered the role of Bond before Brosnan many times. After view to a kill. Dalton was busy filming Brenda Starr. So he couldn't take the role. They moved on to Brosnan. Then Brosnan thankfully could not take the role after NBC renewed his contract. By then Dalton was free to start filming the Living daylights. Dalton only did two films because of a lawsuit that held up filming his third and fourth films. By the time the lawsuit was over. Dalton wanted to move on. He did offer to do Goldeneye. But the producers wanted Dalton to do five more films.Dalton said no thanks. He waited long enough.
Exactly why I didn't like him or Craig. The movie Bond and the book Bond are two different characters. One is a gritty killer and the other is a suave, debonair lady's man with gadgets, fast cars and knack for saving the world from villains who would dominate it. I don't like Fleming's Bond, though I wouldn't mind seeing Gardner's Bond on the silver screen. Just as Brosnan blended the best of Connery and Moore, Gardner blended the best of the Fleming and the Broccoli/Saltzman Bond. Nobody Lives Forever would make an awesome film. So would Icebreaker for that matter. And let me throw in Role of Honor for "honerable mention."
@@esotericsage6914 I disagree. Roger and Brosnan made Bond way too campy. James Bond needs highstakes and danger a d neither achieved that in thier tenure as Bond. Craig, Dalton and Connery are better Bonds.
@@eramos8916 I agree to disagree. Not on the Connery front, but Craig and Dalton? Please. You say highstakes and danger, I say gadgets and one liners. The Living Daylights wasn't bad but License to Kill was barely a Bond movie and Craig was so far removed from everything Salazar and Broccoli made Bond out to be that I don't even recognize them as a 007 movies.
I know for a fact he did actually held on to the roof of the car in this scene. Don't know about jumping out of the plane, though he did do the parachute scene in Licence to Kill.
Dalton did do most of his own stunts “if you see it’s me, its me... if you believe it’s me it’s me! A famous quote dalton once said in an interview regarding stunts
He was on the plane indeed but if you watch the making of, stunt doubles we’re hanging out the back of the c130 on the sack of medical supplies. Then when they went into the studio that had a back ground and a mock-up of the c130 door and rear ramp and Dalton and Wiesniewski did their close up shots and then it was cut together.
Great soundtrack to a great Bond Movie. I was born in 1986 and was brought up on reruns of mostly Roger Moore era Bond movies. As I got older, I learned to appreciate and enjoy the Sean Connery era Bond Movies. I've now seen pretty much all the Bond movies. I can see how Timothy Dalton was a good choice to play James Bond in 1987 and 1989. The action sequences in both his Bond movies resemble similar sort of action scenes in other 80's era action movies. The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill was certainly better suited for Timothy Dalton than it would of been for Roger Moore. It is a shame Timothy Dalton did not get to reprise the role again after Licence to kill. Oh well such is life.
Of all the post-Cubby Broccoli sins that WIslon and Barbara Broccoli have committed, never bringing Barry back for another Bond score is among the most egregious.
*Get down on your knees, now hands behind your back* You are professional.... You do not kill without reason... OH MY DAYS... This is why Dalton's Bond was the best... A vengeful Bond but one who doesn't mess around!
I like how TH-cam brings people with the same interest together and I get to see other people's opinions on Dalton. I'm born in the 90s and most of the people I speak with IRL have never seen a pre-Brosnan Bond film, except perhaps one or two with Connery.
+Every Year in Music Playlists That's because they are around your age and haven't explored past their lifetime to see the original Bond films. Sad really, because there are LOTS of pre-me and pre-you Bond films! I was born in 1979 and even I'm "too young" for older-than-me Bond films, yet I've seen them and love them! Classic Bond IMO was the BEST Bond. But, I do love Dalton's role here too!
+lisardo weisert I was born in 1995 and my first bond film I saw was live and let die. I watched Roger Moore run over Crododiles. From that moment on, I was obsessed with James Bond.
I was born in '96. Had quite a few run-ins with some classic Bond films at a young age (mostly Roger Moore and Sean Connery), but then I got older. Found out about Dalton... he makes for a damned good Bond, if not the best Bond due to his dedication to playing him by the books. Never did particularly like Craig... Moore was cheesy at best. Connery was definitely clear-cut for the role, while Brosnan felt like a mix between Connery and Craig. Lighthearted when things are looking up, but deadly serious when things are getting down and dirty. Never did get to see Lazenby's interpretation of Bond, but I hear it wasn't half-bad. The Living Daylights will always be one of my top picks for Bond films... but I still have to say Goldeneye is my personal favorite. Goldfinger is a little dated, but still works excellent. Hard to say what was best from Moore...
It was sad that this was John Barry's last James Bond soundtrack. I loved how he tried to modernise the sound on this movie by bringing in the drum machine and synths into the mix.
Something about the Bond theme being played with horns and strings instead of a guitar riff.....that elevates it to epic status. Fits the film and Dalton's Bond to a T.
Dalton's Bond was the best Bond. It had the perfect mix of everything and James Bond felt like a forced to be reckoned with unlike the cartoonish bond before him.
I knew when I first saw Dalton in FLASH GORDAN that he was going to be bigger then Prince Baron. I thought he deserved a better Bond review then he got, too.
When John Barry retired from the series, he took out a full page ad in one of the trades and used it to publicly wish Broccoli and EON a happy 25th anniversary. He also gave them this absolute gift of a score that has not been outdone before or since.
I don't understand the comparison of Dalton and Craig. Dalton actually resembled Fleming's Bond and although he had an edge, he still had a certain refinement that Craig lacks.
When Roger Moore dies, a newspaper in my country had the headline as "THE BOND WHO CAME IN BETWEEN..." When Dalton will die, i wish they print "THE BOND WHO CAME BEFORE HIS TIME..." Had Dalton been in Goldeneye, it would have been more awesome. The license to kill is my favourite, for in it Bond in reel resembles more closely to the Bond in print!
Loved Timothy Dalton as Bond but I Loved Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan but Dalton could easily have pulled off View To a Kill wasn't a fan of Moore tbh but by then he looked too old to be a secret agent anyway.
Arguably one of the better 007 movies. Timothy Dalton WAS 007 to me. And he always will be over every other one and I wish he'd gotten to be in Goldeneye over Brosnan.
This opening sequence is up there with the spy who loved me for shear escapism.....I've believed in bond all my Life as an ideal to aspire too,maybe I'm just a dreamer fool.....but because of him I've never sat on the fence....done some incredible things.....I hope my son's too get bond and Barry in there blood.......thankyou 007👍
+Griffin Tremaine That was always the problem with John Barry. He was brilliant, he was also an idiot. He put completely different pieces on the same song. Didnt think much about his listeners, and for that and his over-use of horns, hes only my third favorite Bond composer. He had moments of brilliance, but my GOD was he inconsistent.

I must be in a minority here but Dalton is my favourite iteration of Bond wish he had gotten his films in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

It has taken a fair few years but im pleased to see quite a lot of praise for his version of bond. I think the problem was it was way ahead of its time and audiences were probably not ready for such a dramatic change of tone.
i prefer the same but kind of opposite. Dalton should had finished in 1991 but he should had started with a revised octopussy and view to kill
Dalton was solid , but license to kill was dull. He was a lot better than his movies
Definitely, such a shame he didn't get to do more. Fleming would have approved, I think. I love both of Dalton's films, when I saw The Living Daylights at the age of 12, it totally blew me away. Still does. One of the very best, I reckon.
Agreed
Best Bond score bar none
The final Bond score by John Barry.
*Rest in Peace*
I like the appreciation for Dalton on this thread. A very underrated Bond
mts ts I also have the feeling Dalton is underrated because he has done only two films. If he had done, say, five the audience would have been much more used to him.
+mts ts As much as I enjoy Brosnan in GoldenEye, I would have surely liked to see Dalton in it if I had the chance.
+mts ts he is probably the second best Bond.
Stefano_pena And the best is?
***** Craig
3:31 is John Barry's way of saying: 'welcome to a new era of Bond' - a grand departure away from those slow, creeping, haunting orchestral overtures to the James Bond theme.
What a man. What a Bond. What a film.
He made sure with his last film to be ahead of his time with the drummachine sound that showed up later in the Brosnan films
@@katten838 facts! This is basically the blueprint of the Brosnan soundtracks
The music was the only redeeming quality of the Dalton films.
@@esotericsage6914 the living daylights had a bad ass bond car
Both his movies had dope Bond girls
@@esotericsage6914 what a terribly low degree horrendous hot take.
Not only a great Bond movie but a great spy thriller in general.
Yeah.Kind of like the movie the three previous, more or less serious roger moore movies tried to be.
sadly, the last Barry Bond soundtrack in the series. But boy, was it a great one
He certainly went out on top. The only composer they've been able to get who even comes close was David Arnold.
It was a great film score. ...And Barry Bonds was no John Barry.
Larry Wilson I think micheal kamen was great too
TheAdam159 my favorite John Barry soundtrack is diamonds are forever
@@davider6884 Diamonds are forever soundtrack is incredible. Diamonds, ohmss, you only live twice & daylights are the series best imho
John Barry's final Bond masterpiece

That's what's missing in the Craig era--the deftness, the lightness of touch, through which a dark Bond grounds it.
Dalton sucked as bond, Sean Connery was best then Roger Moore George lansby was better than Dalton
@@royalaok1
Who can forget Mr. Lansby's film? I sure hope Mr. Lansby is doing fine these days.
@WessexFox99 bronsnan could not pull off the fight scenes, Craig is good but seems mentally unstable at times
And quality over quantity!
Best soundtrack of any bond movie.
One of John Barry's greatest works
David DArcy And the most intense soundtrack of all.

Dalton brought a gritty realism to the role the movies had gotten way to silly would have loved to see him in GoldenEye
I also enjoyed his hammed-up role as Prince Barin in Flash Gordon 1980, with the memorable line "Freeze, you bloody b@stards!"
We can only imagine what could have been if he was in ‘Goldeneye’: his ruthlessness battling it out with Alex Trevelyan, pissing off Valentin Zukovsky and getting sexual with Xenia Onatopp

If OHMSS had had Dalton instead of that other plank, it would easily have been the best Bond film ever.
Love the drum machine and synth...a bond for the 80s!
My favorite Bond movie. Timothy Dalton is my favorite actor.
My favorite part begins from 3:31, it's brilliant. This score should be brought back again...
It's my favorite as well.
I'd love to see that being used/referenced in newer movies.
I am the hero of my life.. and i use the 3:31 as my grandeur entrance lol
John Barry killed it with this OST. One of the best remixes of the 007 theme - the percussion just makes this track perfect!
One of the best movies in the series with one of the best Bonds and soundtracks to boot. Gosh, I miss John Barry!
Dalton was the best Bond, in everything from how well he played the character, to that goofy smile of his.
Dalton deserved more films this guy really nailed the cold blooded assassin aspect of the character.
JAMES BOND WAS NOT AN ASSASSIN NOR COLD-BLOODED FFS! Everyone and their granny now says and thinks this. Actually read the books, James Bond was a spy with a special "licence to kill" and a tiny sidearm as an emergency thing, and the SIS would use the double-O section VERY occasionally for really necessary assassinations abroad. He was NOT a hit-man, he was a spy and secret government investigator. He also literally is described many times as never killing in cold blood and having a real dislike of doing so. Most of his jobs were investigatory work that just happen to land him in so much difficulty that he is forced to shoot his way out or escape in some dramatic fashion.

A classic take on the original. The Living Daylights is a fantastic movie
Lot of respect for Dalton. Great Bond!! Great actor!!!
The drums and the synth bass, eargasm 100%.
John Barry saved the BEST for his LAST and this proved it in The Living Daylights may he Rest In Paradise.
"Hold on you're dead"
Old on you're DEED!
Dalton was exceptional bond and a superb actor.his films, at my opinion were among the best of the series
when I was enlisted in the USN, we visited Gibraltar one year...
and this theme is the first thing I thought of.
Dalton, Moore, Brosnan and Connery show that one can interpret Bond differently yet deliver a great performance
The music in every scene is so well done and it makes the film as good as it is. He is a master and will always be associated with Bond. Bond wouldn't be Bond without him.
Fantastic music. The film is and always was underrated. It was the last Bond movie released during the cold war. An very topical geo-political storyline with Jihadis featuring prominently. It was 10 years ahead of its time.
Robert Smuggles It was also the last 007 soundtrack that the late, great John Barry composed.
Yep , and Barry went out with one last great soundtrack .
Probably the best opening scenes of most Bond Movies.
3:00 onwards, pure magic. God who knew chase sequences could be made so fun. Timothy is simply the best
Brilliant track from a superb movie - Dalton was ace as 007!

Last John Barry score for Bond, and it is one of the best.
I love 2:00-2:58 the most. It's so foreboding, sounds like death is closing in on you. Classic John Barry.
It gives No Time To Die Final scene vibes before 007 dies.
The scene where he's clinging to the rock in vain, the ship in the background, accompanied by this....
Note: Dalton did most of his stunts and that was him jumping out of the plane.

Best opening scene of all bond movies. Both Score and Film pace. Hands down.
007 is hardly conceivable without Barry. His final abcence was the beginning of the end.
Next to the main theme to OHMSS, this piece is up there for me
One of the greatest film soundtracks from the incredible John Barry!
*Get down on your knees, now hands behind your back*
You are professional....

Isac Williams. IMHO, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY was Roger Moore's best outing as 007. He was much more dangerous as Simon Templar in THE SAINT.
The first one I saw was Thunderball, during a Bond movie marathon on TV. I couldn't believe how beautiful Claudine Auger was.
Greatest piece of music in all the Bond's.
+TheFMEditor I agree. Seems Barry stepped it up a notch in this one!

The best bond movie
This is the most epic gunbarrel theme in the series
Something about the Bond theme being played with horns and strings instead of a guitar riff.....that elevates it to epic status. Fits the film and Dalton's Bond to a T.

@@iberius9937 idk the guitar for me in the brosnan era was perfect but i love all bond's equally
this movie was a quantum leap ahead of Moore's films. It felt dangerous, misterious and big as Bond movies weren't in ages.

Dalton's Bond was the best Bond. It had the perfect mix of everything and James Bond felt like a forced to be reckoned with unlike the cartoonish bond before him.
I knew when I first saw Dalton in FLASH GORDAN that he was going to be bigger then Prince Baron. I thought he deserved a better Bond review then he got, too.
One of the best cold openings too. Such a tight little episode.
John Barry last Bond film soundtrack and whata great one it was.
Well I guess majority JB fans must hate me, because my favourite Bond movies are Casino Royale, and Living Daylights... Both movies are no.1 for me!
+WESKER terminator I don't blame you in the slightest, My 2 favorite Bond films are Licence to Kill and Casino Royale.
living daylights was great! But I think Casino Royale was overrated, but not a bad movie
Agree. Also QOS.
Jade Blade JC QoS is one of your favourite Bond movies? Why?
Dalton always got a bad rap, but I enjoy both his movies! Maybe it's because he lost his cool quite often
He got a raw deal because this movie was Pierce Brosnan's gig, but Timothy Dalton kicked back with Licence to kill, now at the time that rocked
best score james bond series,my favorite...
Darth Black Net to " OHMSS"!
I loved it in the movie, Dalton was good for the role.
Great use of the drum machine!
When John Barry retired from the series, he took out a full page ad in one of the trades and used it to publicly wish Broccoli and EON a happy 25th anniversary.
He also gave them this absolute gift of a score that has not been outdone before or since.
I JAM TO THIS WHILE RIDEING MY BIKE THROUGH THE CITY
One of the best tracks of any Bond film hands down and still holds up to this day.
3:31
somehow catches up to, and leaps onto the truck going ~40 mph
Every Bond gunbarrel theme is unique - some sound similar but never the same!
John Barry + A-ha is gold
Dalton le imprime seriedad y mucho respeto a su papel.
Excelente soundtrack.
"That's it chump... you're out of it"
“HOLD ON YOU’RE DEAD!”
I’m glad that I was born on 19th January 1987 Timothy Dalton is and always will be my Bond
2:52 NOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
I don't understand the comparison of Dalton and Craig. Dalton actually resembled Fleming's Bond and although he had an edge, he still had a certain refinement that Craig lacks.
I love the way Barry insinuates the Octopussy/General Orlov segment into the soundtrack.
Not sure what you mean?
@@niels25chr1 I think he's referring to 0:39, which is reminiscent of the score when Orlov visits the Monsoon Palace in Octopussy.
@@cockshield Okay. Ya there are some similarities.
The drum beat is epic.
williamtheconqueror3 It’s so good. I love how the franchise is kind of a time capsule.
.....better make that two.
When Roger Moore dies, a newspaper in my country had the headline as "THE BOND WHO CAME IN BETWEEN..."
When Dalton will die, i wish they print "THE BOND WHO CAME BEFORE HIS TIME..."
Had Dalton been in Goldeneye, it would have been more awesome. The license to kill is my favourite, for in it Bond in reel resembles more closely to the Bond in print!
@Dan Castle Of course. If was Dalton instead of Craig all his titles would be alot better
I so agree about Dalton. He should had been In Goldeneye. I think he should had been in A View to a. Kill as well.
Loved Timothy Dalton as Bond but I Loved Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan but Dalton could easily have pulled off View To a Kill wasn't a fan of Moore tbh but by then he looked too old to be a secret agent anyway.
@@DaddyDrummer007 just imagine Zorin Vs Dalton And 006 Vs Dalton. I truly would have loved that. Just imagine how badass it would have been
LICENCE TO KILL, although in my opinion inferior to this one, has elements even of Fleming's LIVE AND LET DIE and even FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
great introduction for the new Bond!
Lady : I'm so bored Margo, nothing but Rich Playboys and millionares, If I can find a Real Man !Hey, Ladies !!!!!
"nothing but playboys and tennis pros.... if only I could find a real man"
“Whooo aaarrre yooouuu?” Bond, James Bond. 007 here, I report in an hour. “Won’t you join me?” Better make that two!
Bond:I need to use your phone..she'll call you back"
@@Bends95 Actually that was the first time that this line was used on a movie...many came after using it...an absolute gem
Daniel Frederic wouldn’t you love to be that cool?!?
There is only one person who should be writing Bond music and thats John Barry
Arguably one of the better 007 movies. Timothy Dalton WAS 007 to me. And he always will be over every other one and I wish he'd gotten to be in Goldeneye over Brosnan.
Loved Dalton as Bond. Wish he did A View To a Kill though. Moore was getting on in age, and Octopussy would of been a great one to end on for him.
John Barry's James Bond Soundtracks contributed
to the 007 Movie franchise.
My favorite bond actor, bond music and movie. First movie i saw in cinema. I was 12 years old. Very powerfull and real.
Dalton did most of his own stunts which I think came across in the movie. Maybe not hanging off the back of the plane or parachuting from the jeep :)
3:32 is the part i always like in this bond movie!!!
Best bond...I think Fleming would have loved him.
This opening sequence is up there with the spy who loved me for shear escapism.....I've believed in bond all my Life as an ideal to aspire too,maybe I'm just a dreamer fool.....but because of him I've never sat on the fence....done some incredible things.....I hope my son's too get bond and Barry in there blood.......thankyou 007👍
Man what would this movie be without this soundtrack
3:27 Go here for that track (this is mostly here so I can go back and listen to it every morning ^^)
+Griffin Tremaine You are so right, I want to knnow how I can get this '87 Bond theme piece of music downloaded wthout th first 3 min 30 sec!
+Christoff Check the score Ice Chase from this movie. I think that's what you're looking for.
+Aleksandar Rusmir Oh fantastic!!!! It's now on my i pod....oops! Cheers!
It's called Ice Chase
+Griffin Tremaine That was always the problem with John Barry. He was brilliant, he was also an idiot. He put completely different pieces on the same song. Didnt think much about his listeners, and for that and his over-use of horns, hes only my third favorite Bond composer. He had moments of brilliance, but my GOD was he inconsistent.
the next bond film 25 should be dedicated or in memory of sir ROGER MOORE
noel quigley they will probably mention it in the end credits
hope so
Agreed 1000%
I'd say that honor is now likely to go to Sean Connery
Moore was a crappy Bond, no thanks
Dalton is so fuckin underrated.... it breaks my fuckin heart.... -_- :'(
Oooh, the beat drop at 3:31. That is pretty ace.
Timmy is my favorite Bond ...in any way I can imagine.
Timothy Dalton is like Larry Holmes and Rodney Dangerfield can't never get any respect.
3:31 Things get KINETIC.
One of the best variations on the Bond theme imho
