    Kamen's score makes me nostalgic for the '80s.
    I used to watch my VHS copy of this Bond repeatly as I anxiously awaited news of Dalton's third Bond movie.

    I always loved Krest's death scene.

    The bullets playing the Bond theme.....makes me think we get the Bond theme more in this film than in the Craig films combined.

    The tanker chase is just as spectacular today as it was in '89.
    Dalton really look thrashed here. Not in a cool way, either. He just looks effed up.
    Craig tends to always look cool bloodied and bruised whereas Tim seems a bit more realistic.

    Again, I love the winking fish! Another viewing under my belt, and of course my first Bond film for this year.

    ...don't forget Patti LaBelle's "If You Asked Me To" closing song. A nice ending to LTK, and - in retrospect - a bittersweet ending to the (all too short) Dalton era. =((

    Great comments @ToTheRight
    My recent watch was so enjoyable. It's a fantastic Bond movie, so much to enjoy in it!

    I remember 007 magazine ran some of the first preview pictures of Dalton battered and bruised from LTK, I was thinking this is going to be so different to TLD!

    Another excellent title sequence..........at least for me. I'd love if futire Bond films would go old school with the titles. Let's give CGI the day off, eh?

    Well, if you could get Diana Lee-Hsu back I'd be all in favor. Ms. Lee-Hsu was Playboy's Playmate for May,1988 ... or so I'm told. :))

    Absolutely 😘
    I love the shots of her with her billowing cloak, and Binders own credit with a stylish shot of Diana is my favourite in the titles! I would love to return to these type of titles sequences, I really like Kleinmans work but it's getting a little too heavy and busy, and agree with @ToTheRight less cgi please!

    I believe LTK has the Bond theme the most out of any in the Bond series. With 84? I think.

    Much as i love the Bond theme, Kamen definitely overuses it.

    But then he doesn't weave any other kind of theme into the score.

    I do love his gunbarrel music though...!

    His gunbarrel was excellent, but yes, the score lacked something. It's funny, but I do remember Kamen doing an interview where he disclosed his reaction on getting chosen to do the music for LTK, and he was ecstatic! It's a pity he didn't put that enthusiasm into the score!

    I actually quite like Kamen’s score. It’s not quite as grand/epic as Barry’s score for TLD, but it’s quite good on its own and I’d rather listen to Kamen than some of the more modern scores from the series.

    A VIEW TO A KILL

    My first Roger Moore Bond for the year and it's 40th anniversary in 2025. I love the opening snow sequence. Bond really inspires me here. We have some snow on the ground where I live. It's feasible to get an enormous amount during the winter months. In addition, there is a work from home option at my job. James Bond NEVER calls out of work due to snow, and he never works from home.

    I'm also enjoying this tonight because I love Sir Roger's older Bond.

    Momentarily interrupted when my better half came down to watch some of this with me. I'm very fortunate she appreciates Bond. Who else will hum the Barry music along with you while watching AVTAK? We're getting married this spring.

    Watching the Bonds on a Sunday night takes me back to a kid when these would air on The ABC Sunday Night Movie.
    Those were the days.
    Mr Howe is great.

    Hey yeah, quite a few anniversaries coming up. Love the snow sequence too, and Bond's mini backpack which he swings around, drops, and bangs up against the side of the snowmobile, yet pulls out a glass bottle moments later. Those Russians really built things to last.

    Love his equipment kit, of tracker, grapple and flare. We don't see much of the 'equipped for the mission' kit in the films anymore sadly.

    Great climax on Golden Gate Bridge. Love it.
    Excellent viewing. Maybe I'll watch more Bond films in 2025 than I did last year?

    Half hour workout and now I'm onto another Bond, GOLDENEYE. Wow! Two anniversary films in one night.
    Xenia just ventilated someone.
    I can't remember how many times I saw this in the cinema back in '95 and '96. I want to say it was around 15.

    Ah, the new Moneypenny. I love how these scenes intercut with Natalya. Again I love snow scenes in Bond films. Even though this is mostly miniature work.
