-Arrest me, I must be stopped.
-What?
-Arrest me. I'm a slasher... of prices! Haha, Simon Skinner, I run the local supermarché.
Comedy gold right there, that film is so incredibly rewatchable. I love the little details scattered throughout.
There are a couple of good examples of this. One is a 1966 or 67 WWII movie called Triple Cross in which he plays the Nazis and British against each other and gets in a lot of action and suave moments. Saw it several years ago and liked it.
He also got to do some action and pull off a suave character in Sir Charles Litton in Return of the Pink Panther, taking over David Niven's role.
I've always been a fan of his. There's something a bit Burton'esque about him onscreen, but with a touch more refinement. He has polish and gravitas, but also a certain dark edge. Great actor.
Definitely need to check out Tripple Cross and Return of the Pink Panther now! I've yet to watch either of those films.
Dalton is Oscar-worthy in that film. Seriously.
I have yet to watch Hot Fuzz because I didn't enjoy Shaun of the Dead at all, so that's oddly reassuring and encourages me to give it a go...
What I liked about it, except Tim’s great performance, is it’s more mysterious atmosphere and the fact it makes fun of a genre that I’m not all that fond of, the buddy cop film.
Normally I like parodies of genres that I like but in the case of the Wright/Pegg films, it’s the other way around. Strangely.
I like police comedies but not zombie movies, so it should work out the right way for me too!
Awesome

Fascinating information here. I think I like this REUNION WITH DEATH concept more than TND or TWINE.
I agree. There are things that I don't like (e.g., the same awkward tonal shifts that plagued the Brosnan era), but it could have developed into something really strong at the script level with some changes.
I definitely want to see the treatment's castle parapet battle (with samurai armor) in BOND 25.
Dalton shows here that he could have been a more traditional cinematic Bond so to speak, had he chosen to. He nails that aspect as well.
It does show that he could have pulled it off. In what year was this done?
