Timothy Dalton -- the most underrated Bond. As intense as Daniel Craig but, where Craig is rather crude and rough-hewn, there is an elegance to Dalton that is very appealing. He was a simply a victim of unfortunate timing. Roger Moore had set a tone of lightheartedness in the series, so when the saturnine Dalton came on the scene the contrast was just too jarring for many people.
It is a pity he was too morose & cumbersome. Which Pierce Brosnan managed to overcome, making it even harder for audiences to develop a liking for Dalton.
The critics knew nothing. Most people loved the fun version of Bond done by Moore but was not willing to accept Dalton who played the character from the books to the T. That's messed up honestly.
Dalton’s Bond is the closest to the version in the books. The problem is the movies had deviated so much from the books that being faithful to the original source material no longer mattered. I also think viewers and critics experienced a kind of whiplash going from Moore to Dalton. Brosnan would eventually find the right balance, not as comical as Moore but not as serious as Dalton. But Dalton was clearly the best actor to play Bond, owing to his training as a Shakespearean actor. It’s unfortunate that viewers and critics weren’t quite ready for a more serious portrayal of a secret agent. It wasn’t until Chris Nolan’s Batman and the Bourne series following the cartoonish Die Another Day that the time was right for a serious and gritty Bond. Dalton was ahead of his time.
Sir you are very right. But it was not possible for all Fleming novels to follow same theme For movies: e.g. Th spy who loved me, Moon Raker, Casinio Royale, Octopussy, The man with the golden gun. They stuck to novel themes in 6-7 movies which was possible for them.
Keep in mind that Pierce Brosnan should have been 007 if not for nbc holding him in the Remington Steele contract...and of course the legal battles in 1989 with mgm and united artists.... 60 years of 007 has had many twists and turns...😊
Shocked to see this take. As a huge fan of the franchise, if anyone picked just 3 novels by Ian Fleming, it'd be impossible to not know Dalton was the one by every strand!
If you watch the fight in the car closely, he's quite happy to headbutt the driver and claw his eyes. Dalton always really sold the idea that Bond was paid to fuck people up, and never really happy unless he was doing that.
Dalton is a criminally underrated Bond. Perhaps he's being reevaluated since Craig's more realistic and gritty take on Bond has been so successful he's made Brosnan's take look flippant in comparison
I did not like Dalton as Bond but admittedly that might have been more the actual movies than him in the role. I did not find the movies he was in particularly good in the Bond canon. Blaming him might not have been fair.
I totally dig him as Bond and feel he was just that bit more believable and realistic, as a 'specialist secret agent and weapon'. He had a mix and balance of British reserved charm and wit, together with a fiercely focused intensity and shrewd intelligence. He was there to get the job done and take no prisoners! I think Sean Connery and Roger Moore were more at home in the role of ladies-man and bed hopping, though, Timothy being more of the serious and sensitive type.
Good point. I have come to view the Bonds like this: Craig: The rookie Bond transitioning from Royal Navy Commando and Intelligence Officer to MI6 Operative. Shown by his defaulting to commando destruction when things go sideways. Connery: More polished but as time goes on can see the wear of the business shining through Lazenby: BUrned out and ready to retire. Dalton: Post murder of his wife, the gleam is gone leaving the lethal operative who is only maintaining control due to his sense of duty Brosnan: Has regained his balance. As lethal as before and better able to become immersed in the roles required for his missions. Moore: WE won't talk about fake Bond. "You're reputation Precedes You." *Shudder*
The beginning of Dalton, but the last of John Barry. The revised "techno" version of the Bond theme during the fight scene was a masterpiece, putting a updated spin on the classic theme to bring in a new era but keeping it classic enough for continuity sake.
@@boke75 Because they had contract difficulties that held up the movies, then after that they wanted Dalton to sign a multi movie contract and he didn't want to. Thats at least the 'story'. License to Kill didn't make as much as Living Daylights, however, Quantum of Solace wasn't as successful as Casino Royale either. I don't think they held it against Dalton that it did't do as good.
@@boke75 well Dalton was supposed to do 3 movies, and after licence to kill, the work for the third bond movie was in work until there was a lawsuit between MGM and United artist which took 6 years to settle. So when broccoli asked Dalton whether he would return, Dalton initially replied yes to finish his trilogy, but broccoli tolded it's a 6-7 years commitment to which Dalton respectfully declined.
One of the very best pre title sequences ever and a great way to introduce a darker and tougher grittier Bond to the world. After the silliness of Roger moores final Bond movie Timothy Dalton was a breath of fresh air .
I have all the Sean Connery and Roger Moore bond films on DVD. I think I have this one too. I'm a big fan of Roger Moore, and Sean Connery but I would have liked to see more of Timothy Dalton as Bond. I completely agree with the other commenters that he is very underrated. Thanks.
Just when we got a decent bond the films went into hibernation in 1990.what if this had happened after his eight in 2001 when he announced his retirement and resumed in 2006. What could have been that is those missing six movies . He was good
To see, and approach Gibraltar, from any angle, in person, as I have, is awe inspiring. It is a beautiful territory. One of the great natural wonders of the world. The camerawork, aerial photography, and editing of this clip were also incredibly good. Just outstanding. The film should have won Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Editing, but it did not.
Great to see Dalton doing stunts or at least action. Much as I like Sir Roger, by the end stuntmen became too obvious. Dalton's era managed to blend well.
What many people are not aware of is that the Jeep segment of the action scene is not quite what it seems. The scene is much longer than the road it starts on (known in the military as Middle Hill) and the scene could only be achieved with clever editing. The scene is cut into various segments which are on different roads not following one another. Middle Hill Battery is still under MoD control as an important area for telecommunications. The road that leads to Middle Hill Battery is called Rock Gun Road and the scene where Timothy Dalton (or his stunt double), jumps onto the jeep's canopy is at the gate and junction of Signal Station Road.
Actually Timothy Dalton is missing for half the movie, and the reason for that is because Roger Moore didn't want to be in this one so they went ahead shot some stuff that they were going to get anyway without the character of James Bond that's why there's a certain way that it doesn't feel like it's all there it's there I mean hell the f****** shootout at the Mansion took by what 15 minutes and there's no James Bond nowhere
@@asahutchinsonsuckslittledi1056 The shootout at the end was almost as dumb as the one in the man with the golden gun. Not sure why they had such trouble.
Schade das Timothy Dalton nur zwei Mal Bond war. Wäre er länger gewesen wäre er auch großartig geworden. Aber seine zwei Einsätze waren nicht schlecht. 👍👍👍👍
Loved Dalton’s entrance in this, he is simply the best Bond, and this is the best Bond movie - my favourite of all - he far surpasses any of the Bond actors that came before and after him, and this movie is the best Bond movie so far in terms of direction, pace, story, characters, and of course the actor that played Bond Timothy Dalton - my favourites Bond movies (not in particular order of favouritism) are YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, LIVE AND LET DIE, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, LICENCE TO KILL, and TOMORROW NEVER DIES.
I wish there was a game for Living Daylights similar to the one on PlayStation for Goldeneye. Scenes and escapes like this would make for a lot of fun on PS.
Back when the days that Bond was synonymous with being suave, flambouyant and cold-blooded agent with license to kill. When captured by the enemy he would be offered a drink, pampered and offered to be a partner for world domination. These days, they don’t make such image anymore.
O Roger Moore deixou um legado incrível para 007 fez maravilhosamente a interpretação então daí em diante ficou muito difícil aceitar outro ator com o mesmo carisma de Sr Roger Moore, mas vamos nos adaptando né! Gostamos imensamente dos filmes do 007 ,gratidão!🙏🥰❤💋⚘❤❤❤
Not only is this a great James Bond movie, it's a fantastic movie period. No world domination, no mass extinction plans, just a smarmy drug dealer who tried to use MI5 and they said, "Aw hell no!" Plus a magnificent score!
It is also not possible for a vehicle to fall off the western side of the Rock into the sea. This was recorded on the eastern side nearer Europa Point (the last point in Europe).
@@peterevans8194 Indeed it was when there was no alternative... but I understand free of oils and petrol, so just metal and it's been a while (decades) since they dumped cars off the cliff. Crazy right? I guess similar to dumping all sorts in landfill. Glad to see the western world moving towards recycling.

That's the first couple of Bond-minutes I ever saw on the big screen. What a way to start, isn't it? So don't ask me if Dalton was a great Bond, he was robbed of more movies. But did we ever hear him complain? Great guy, great Bond.
Timothy Dalton is very underrated as Bond, I'm sad he didn't get more films. He kinda reminds me of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. Since both of them are getting backlash when their movies are released, for being gritty and down to earth, compared to their predecessors.
Timothy Dalton: the only suave, witty, good-looking, appropriately aged, actually English Bond who looks like he could in fact kill you and smile while doing it. All the Bonds have their charms, but Dalton is my "problem eliminator".
@@specialopsgib The movement when Dalton goes from the roof of the yacht to the floor level of the boat to take the telephone to call Exercise Control. With his back opposite to the deck.
The "00" who was actually caught could be said to be the silver medallist (Bond gold medallist of course). He did better than his colleague who was murdered by the infiltrator, as well as better than the SAS men killed by the infiltrator, at least two, three counting the guy run down at the road block.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. He was ahead of his time! He actually read the books to get the tone of Bond...
I wish he had a few more movies with different writers/director I thought Dalton was pretty good….better in licensed revoked.
Sean Connery Is the ONLY true James Bond- many were well in the years that followed
I agree completely however he is second to Craig IMO...
It is a pity he was too morose & cumbersome. Which Pierce Brosnan managed to overcome, making it even harder for audiences to develop a liking for Dalton.
I had forgotten how great this was. Dalton was a terrific Bond, much better than the critics opined.
I like Dalton....I wished he had played a 3rd Bond film as was signed....
The critics knew nothing. Most people loved the fun version of Bond done by Moore but was not willing to accept Dalton who played the character from the books to the T. That's messed up honestly.
@@terryrocks2j Moore became a parody of Bond, a joke. Dalton returned him to a more realistic version.

Great scene. Nearly 30 years after I saw the film, I was able to stand on the exact spot where that Landrover went off the road!
Timothy Dalton was completely and woefully underrated as Bond. He was Fierce as FUCK. He nailed the violence from the books.
YES
Especially in his second movie
If you watch the fight in the car closely, he's quite happy to headbutt the driver and claw his eyes. Dalton always really sold the idea that Bond was paid to fuck people up, and never really happy unless he was doing that.
This is probably my most favorite pre credit sequences in the Bond movies.
Dalton did a bloody great job on Bond; better make it two jobs.
Best Bond intro ever
We agree totally 😊
FkN A.
Hold on, you're dead. My favorite line from all the films.
"I'll be back in an hour"
"Won't you join me?"
"Better make that two"
Man knows his priorities.
Dalton is a criminally underrated Bond. Perhaps he's being reevaluated since Craig's more realistic and gritty take on Bond has been so successful he's made Brosnan's take look flippant in comparison
I did not like Dalton as Bond but admittedly that might have been more the actual movies than him in the role. I did not find the movies he was in particularly good in the Bond canon.

Utterly agree 👍
Good point. I have come to view the Bonds like this:
Craig: The rookie Bond transitioning from Royal Navy Commando and Intelligence Officer to MI6 Operative. Shown by his defaulting to commando destruction when things go sideways.
Connery: More polished but as time goes on can see the wear of the business shining through
Lazenby: BUrned out and ready to retire.
Dalton: Post murder of his wife, the gleam is gone leaving the lethal operative who is only maintaining control due to his sense of duty
Brosnan: Has regained his balance. As lethal as before and better able to become immersed in the roles required for his missions.
Moore: WE won't talk about fake Bond. "You're reputation Precedes You." *Shudder*
One of the best bond openings ,ever if not the best 👍
Seriously my favorite line before the opening title sequence.... Better make that 2. And only 2 it was.
Yes, along with Goldeneye (the Russian base)
Not quite. Brosnan bungee jump is tops
Spot on 1 of me fav opening 2 bud

We are happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Can I please ask where you went and what you did?

Funniest line I've ever heard. Lol.
When I saw this at the theater, the entire audience burst out laughing. 😂😂😂
Such a class! Dalton, my absolute favourite 🤩 and that soundtrack is the best!
I was just 13 when I saw this and I loved Dalton from the get go. My 2nd fav 007 after Connery.
To see, and approach Gibraltar, from any angle, in person, as I have, is awe inspiring. It is a beautiful territory. One of the great natural wonders of the world.
The camerawork, aerial photography, and editing of this clip were also incredibly good. Just outstanding.
The film should have won Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Editing, but it did not.
Couldn't agree more!
I love how in “Das Boot”, Gibraltar is basically treated as the gates of Mordor by the German sailor-soldiers.
The rock looks great in a bond film
Yes - I was in 2011 on the Rock there - monkeys and more - a great view over the sea!
Great to see Dalton doing stunts or at least action. Much as I like Sir Roger, by the end stuntmen became too obvious. Dalton's era managed to blend well.
Dalton did virtually everything in his films, with the notable exception of the cargo net fight on the back of the C130.

No no reason they can't
This scene is very classic. The Living Daylight.

The most authentic Bond.
The headbutt was a great introduction to the new bond
LOL

brilliant opening for an even better film. Dalton was such a good choice, despite how short his outing as bond was
This and Licence to Kill the last of the great bond films in my opinion
Totalmente excelente!! John Glenn melhorou muito nos últimos dois filmes dele na franquia.
