Kino crafters. This one's an easy top 3. It's an actual espionage movie. It goes for the same middle ground in tone as For Your Eyes Only but doesn't let the bathos shit all over the more serious stuff.
yeah I always liked Dalton. for me the top film of the franchise would however be Golden Eye
Absolutely kino Bond flick. TLD is a masterpiece.
It's very on the nose but an absolute classic title drop, though I love A View to a Kill's precisely for how forced and hacky it is.
Christopher Walken single-handedly elevates every movie he's in. Without him that movie would have been dogshit but with him it's highly enjoyable. Shame we never got Bowie as a Bond villain since there were attempts to do that in the 80s
>Bowie as a Bond villain
what would his villain name be?
Major Tom, a disillusioned and power-hungry British army defector who brings the men under his command to the Congo to carve out his own personal fiefdom to exploit the land, its natural riches, and its people in the name of the long lost British Empire. We never really get Bond in sub-Saharan Africa
bravo kojima
Bond surrounded by nigs for two hours.
Nah, we don't need another Live and Let Die thanks
Bowie had massive jungle fever IRL so it would play to his strength more
It's a stupid phrase but Duran Duran's theme tune actually made it make some sort of sense. In the movie it was jammed in so badly you could almost hear the scraping sound of the movie grinding to a halt.
Its a phrase that was, and still is, in the UK, and he used it in the correct way.
I am fairly sure A View to a Kill comes from the title of a short story in which Bond makes his way up a mountain (or something) to get in position to kill someone with a sniper rifle.
A view to a kill was really fun, i don't know why people dislike it so much.
He never said this
So you've never seen the film then?
dumb moron
Also has one of the hottest Bond girls
she was so fricking hot in her nude scene in Xtro. waif kino.
Not even fricking close
>"one of the hottest"
Not the hottest dipshit, and Sophie isn't the hottest either
gay
>wah! my waifu is hottest, and if you disagree u gay wah!
what are you twelve?
Dalton is no different than Craig’s Bond. Too serious, too PC. Back then with AIDS epidemic and feminists, his Bond hardly even slept around. Brosnan was suppose to do that movie but Remington Steel prevented him. Brosnan is the best Bond outside Connory. Fight me!

Living Daylights was a perfect Bond film for me.
>Opening in Gibaltar was based, ends with him shagging a woman.
>Had great chemistry with the Bond girl.
>Car chase scene was great.
>Good balance between humour, charm as well as seriousness.
>Maybe you could criticise the villains of the film being a bit eh. Still so many good scenes.
I really like License to Kill too but it is still rather brutal in tone for a Bond movie up to this point which makes the ligher stuff of the much longer Q role in the film feel almost out of place. Dalton is an underated Bond.
Everyone likes Brosnan but I feel like his films start well and get progressively worse and where as Dalton leans more Connery rather that Moore, Pierce leans more Moore and they take some stuff straight out of a Moore film (like in Golden Eye, they are surrounded by Marines at the end while kissing, much like Moore getting caught shagging in Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker.)
Eh, Dalton was not even close to Connory. Connor’s Bond had a sense of humor. People blame Moore for cheesy Bond. That started with You Only Live Twice and Diamond's Are Forever
>Eh, Dalton was not even close to Connory.
You seem to have gotten the wrong end of the stick. I more meant in terms of the spoofness of Moore compared with the more suave Connery. I think Dalton was more like Connery and less like Moore and Pierce was more like Moore. I am not saying Connery had no humour. No where did I say that. Of course he did. And yeah, Connery had cheesy comedy and lines but it didn't reach anywhere near the spoof or style of Moore.
Honestly feels like you're trying to pull an "actually" as if I haven't watched these films because you misunderstood what I mean.
I would be interested to see the full picture of the time of what really killed Dalton's Bond. Was it just change in tone? Because honestly there are parts of both movies that completely fit the 80s type of movies.
I get what you’re saying. I just don’t get why people shill Dalton but shit on Craig when they see the same serious, politically correct Bond.
Why I never liked either of them. They’re just not Bond. This is Bond
In what way was Dalton's Bond politically correct or Craig for that matter? He did shag a widow on the day of the funeral after all lol
You’re kidding right?
>I get what you’re saying. I just don’t get why people shill Dalton but shit on Craig when they see the same serious, politically correct Bond.
I never mentioned Craig. I like all Bond movies/all Bonds and have been seeing them once a week at the cinema for the anniversary. Course I have my favourites or preferences but still. You're coming at me with accusations as if I have said them, it is weird to talk with.
And politically correct Bond? Golden Eye has plenty of PC moments:
>Early on like Tanner b***hing about the new Female M just as she walks in.
>She calls Bond a misogynistic dinosaur and says he must think she is a numbers person but she's not afraid to send a man to die (it is a pretty good seen because of Judi Dench).
>Moneypenny banter literally has her bring up sexual harassment.
>Why I never liked either of them. They’re just not Bond. This is Bond
I mean it is an interesting debate on what Bond is. Because Ian Flemming called Sean Connery a glorified stunt man and actually wanted Roger Moore for the role earlier on. Bond in the books can be a rather brutal and blunt weapon which you could say fits Dalton or Craig a bit more. Connery is the favourite Bond for most overall.
The humour wasn't forced and Dalton clearly has a twinkle in his eye when saying some of these lines. I really don't think he is as dry as some make out. Some of his lines hit better than Moore's in the previous few films.
I can see you are a fellow Bond fan anon. My apologies. I grew up on Bond. My boomer dad loves Bond. Read all the books. He always disliked Dalton for being too serious. I guess just rubbed off. I don’t like Craig because he’s just too Jason Bourne to mr than Bond
Not the anon you're replying too, but surely you can appreciate Casino for the great Bond film it is, even if the others fall off a bit
the bourne shit after casino royale really put me off
No problem anon, we're all passionate fans here. Like I said, Dalton and Craig being the blunt weapon might even be closer to "Bond" in written form. I get the change in tone may have been off for some people. But conversely sometimes the spoof nature of Moore was overpowering.
As much as people like Pierce because for many, he is there first and his early films were enjoyable, they certainly got over the top. Craig was an update they perhaps needed. Perhaps it went too far in what its DNA was but I still think Casino Royale is a good Bond films. The problem is every film after that for me has been a case of them needing to pick a better lane for what they wanted Craigs Bond to be. Some are certainly better than others.
The humour was more in dead pan than the Moore films.
The way he dryly remarks "salt corrosion" after splitting a police car in half with a laser, being an example
All the humor seemed forced with him.
Compared to Connory
Woman: I got you all wet
Bond: Yes, but my martini stayed dry
Different strokes I guess, I never liked those lines in Connery's films. But that's not to say his films were poor by any means
>I would be interested to see the full picture of the time of what really killed Dalton's Bond.
He was going to be in a film based on "Property of a Lady" but a legal battle between Eon Productions and MGM halted everything. Dalton got off contract and Pierce, who was had previously lost out on the role got picked for the next one as they felt too much time had passed.
Some Bond legal trouble history:
>Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham sued Ian Flemming because they helped write the screenplay of Thunderball which was later turned into a book.
>Thunderball helped create SPECTRE and Blofeld.
>They had a legal battle with Ian Flemming.
>Flemming had a heart attack before the second court case.
>They won the film rights for Thunderball and SPECTRE/Blofeld.
>They created a ten year agreement, allowed Thunderball to get made and Spectre/Blofeld to appear in some movies.
>Flemming died in 1964.
>SPECTRE/Blofeld stopped appearing in the movies.
>Only with a cameo at the start of a Roger Moore film who I think wasn't credited as Blofeld.
>McClory made a remake of Thunderball called Never Say Never Again, a title in reference to how Sean Connery said he would never be Bond again, but did do the non-EON film while Moore was still going with Octopussy as his latest.
>Then tried to remake Thunderball a third time with Timothy Dalton, Liam Neeson or even Pierce or someone as the title role.
>Sony teamed up with McClory to try and make a seperate Bond film verse.
>Huge legal fight occured.
>MGM blocked them and Sony ceded the rights (MGM relinquised their partial rights to Spider-Man which let Sony make that film).
>McClory passed away in 2006 and his family agreed to give MGM and EON the rights in 2013.
>a sense of humor.
Living Daylights actually had some humour and lines/one libers that really fit, which I think people ignore. I really like the last scene when the Prince and his guards burst into the music hall at the end to see her play. Even License to Kill that was a much darker movie had humour in it, especially with Q.
Both films are much more of today's modern Bond than they were of the era.
Changing direction so much from the Moore films was maybe too much too soon for those 80s types
This anon just posted what I was about too. How is that politically correct?
Mr Bond you can take a Quantum of Solace knowing that your death will be quick
>Zorin presses transform button on his faux camera/AR-15
Now Mr Bond we we will segue form a View to a Kill
