Funnily enough that's something I missed in SF, the brutal fight scenes. I thought one of the things that set Craig apart from the others was his brutality and hard man attitude. If you take away his wreckless attitude and his brutality from his first two performances, then you'd just end up with Dalton but not as good.
The brutality was gone in SF and they also changed his Bond personality wise. Instead of being a brutal Bond with an emotional side I thought he came across as a poor mans Connery (or even a poor mans Moore in some cases) but with more emotion.
Yes, interesting comments. Bond was definitely quite different in SF from CR and QoS. Not a bad thing in itself, but I prefered the character in the first two films.
Oh I totally agree this is DC's point of difference and I agree he was a different Bond in SF. I was just stating that, if pushed, I'd always favour the less brutal more elegant and efficient Bond.
B-)
Correct me if I'm wrong but Brad did say he was wearing bodyarmour. If you notice before his death under his jacket it does look as if he's wearing somesort of armour.
Still as said many times before Brad is my fav baddie & I really don't think any other actor would have played him better. The scenes I'm sure would have been exactly the same with any other actor.
Also I really can't understand the writers why they had to keep Koskov cowering upstairs while the gunfire was blowing the place apart. Anyway it makes him more like a coward unlike Whitaker at least making an attempt to kill 007.
If I was the writer at the time I would have had Koskov accidently pop in the room and be shot by Whitaker in the process only for Whitaker to quip "There you go Bond you can now have Koskov" " Now its time to play with my toys again".
Crazy idea maybe but Koskov needed tought a proper lesson.
He didn't look to be wearing any body armor at all to me. Not even under his military uniform. As for the armor he spoke of, I took it as he was referring to the armor/shield attached to his gun.
Aston Martin
Dalton ofcourse
Necros
A first class musical masterpiece by John Barry! ^:)^
Well... at least that how I feel every time I watch it. :\">
As for the third act (in the Middle East) being boring, I felt that way at first. However, with a repeated viewing, once I fully understood the plot, I no longer feel that way.
TIMOTHY DALTON as JAMES BOND in THE LIFESHIT.
Loved the film. Dalton was superb, one of the best pre title sequences, the short story beautifully included. Top ten film for sure.
It's always been a top fiver for me. Definitely one of my favourites.
Best ever? 'Fraid not.
LTK is the beginning of the change - going rogue etc.
He wasn't impressed.
In light of modern action filmmaking I don't think a lot of the 80s movies hold up well.
To me TLD was one of the better ones though.
And i'm 4 days late, but happy 30th birthday to The Living Daylights.
I still think "bad 80s action" applies more to AVTAK.
Prior to DAD I consider the fire engine chase to be the lowest point of the series.
TLD is classier and several big steps up after AVTAK.
