45. After a multimillion dollar deal of opium the most logical course of action is to allow masked individuals to have access to the product.
46. Always remember to throw the keys to fellow inmates as you are escaping prison, it could save your life!
50) It doesn't matter how many ammo you have in your gun, what matters is the skill you have with it. Something Whitaker should have remembered.
51) And while we're at it, that's no way to talk about Wellington.
52) John Gardner really should have sued Eon for the theft of his ideas.
55. Everything must be in glass cases. It's a very strict rule.
Can you elaborate? I don't know much about the Gardner novels.
57) All beach umbrellas in Gibraltar are courtesy of JB.
I never, for one second, took Koskov seriously as a "top KGB mastermind". Mastermind? The guy comes off as a buffoon. Even after Bond figures out his true intentions. They really missed an opportunity here. They could've made Koskov a calculating military genius and a kind of villain Bond hadnt really faced before. But instead he comes off as a sidekick from a Roger Moore movie.
62. Parrots previously stuck on boats can find a new home in an MI6 safe house.
63. Motorboarding was the national pastime of Czechoslovakia.
64. Your allies in 1987 can be your enemies in 2001.
65. Unlike 2001, your allies in 1987 seemed to have trouble passing through American airports.
66. There actually can be a worse Felix Leiter.
67. You don't want to know where Rosika hid that pipe wrench.
68. Leave it to the Norwegians to chase off John Barry.
Something that bugs me a little : why do people assume that Kamran Shah and his men have joined the Taliban after the Soviets left ? They might have been part of other, more friendly groups. Remember the Northern Alliance ? The Talibans certainly didn't like them very much.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Alliance
L-) Yes....
75. Smiert Spinom means death to spies
77) And he likes Australian women.
79) Koskov is full of it
Sigh. Timothy Dalton, we hardly knew ye. :((
His bad side is a dangerous place to be in
Things We've Learned From…..Licence to Kill
1) Michael Kamen could write one hell of a Bond score.
2) Felix Leiter either aged 25 years since the events of the previous film or the "David Hedison" form is Felix's natural state.
3) Sanchez takes romantic metaphors a bit too literally.
4) The DEA will send only two of it's agents to aid crusty old Felix in the capture of the most wanted drug lord in the country.
5) Upon going to retrieve said drug lord Felix and his army of two will inexplicably run in slow motion to the accomplishment of nothing neither visually or thematically.
6) Felix's slow motion face is hilarious.
7) Felix not suffering a heart attack while skydiving into his wedding was a minor miracle.
8) Felix can somehow pull the ripcord to his parachute while holding two hats in both hands.
9) The late great Maurice Binder was an invaluable member of the Bond family who more than anyone else was responsible for the iconography of Bond.
10) Felix took a page from the Roger Moore Bond playbook and found himself a girlfriend/wife that'll be changing his diapers in 10 years time.
11) None of Felix's wedding guests find anything wrong with the bride and the best-man affectionately kissing on the lips throughout the house while the groom is in his office working.
12) Della will stupidly and childishly still throw Bond her garter after Bond had basically spelt out to her that marriage is a very painful subject to him all of 3 seconds prior.
13) Sanchez's henchmen will feel so bad about breaking up a wedding, even an enemy's wedding, they'll go out of their way to still provide the bride with a honeymoon.
14) All the tailor shops in England must have caught on fire or exploded thus explaining Bond's cheap looking off-the-rack attire in this film.
15) Apparently news of Felix's wedding didn't reach all of his friends ("Hey Leiter. Where've you been?)
16) Getting a handful of maggots thrown at your face and being flipped onto a pile of maggots 2 feet below you will evidently knock you completely unconscious.
17) M apparently has a Blofeld-like affinity for cats.
18) M has no qualms with killing the greatest hero in the history of their country who has been called on to save the world numerous times and will no doubt be needed to do so again sometime in the future.
19) Apparently M thought there were "too many people" in that empty grassy patch Bond escaped thru on a closed down exhibit.
20) It might've taken 24 years but the filmmakers of the Bond series finally discovered how to film a thrilling and exciting underwater sequence. Well done Mr. Glen.
21) Bond can catch up to a speeding plane while bear foot waterskiing after he's let go of his rope.
22) Sanchez only utilizes bullet-proof money bags.
23) Bond in a sleezy strip bar just seems so wrong.
24) Bond will haggle over $25,000 despite the fact that he's just obtained a cool $5 mil. I never took Bond for the frugal type.
25) There's no greater turn on or foreplay than negotiating over money.
26) Bond brazenly laughs at the idea of a male secretary working for a woman.
27) Bond wrongfully assumed that Sanchez's casino was hosting a costume party and went as Count Dracula.
28) Hotels in Ismus City will happily put you in a person's suite if you simply tell them you're that person's uncle.
29) Q was so excited about getting in the field that he actually lost his psychic abilities and gave Bond gadgets that he didn't need or use.
30) After Kerin Bay's death, one of his sons went on to become the President of a fictional country. Kerim would be proud.
31) John Glen was going to keep using that cheap animal scare until we were all sick of it.
32) Hong Kong narcotics agents will succumb to stereotypes and dress up as ninjas before attacking their target.
33) The film will briefly shift all focus onto the nameless woman ninja, essentially turning her into the protagonist for the time being, only to have her unceremoniously blown away by Heller rocking army fatigues and a beret.
34) Krest's head is apparently made out of a balloon.
35) A small surgical mask renders you unrecognizable to Sanchez's henchmen.
36) Bond learned to do a real headbutt this time.
37) Bond has a twisted idea of offering someone a light.
38) Timothy Dalton's Bond is so ruthless and vicious that when he sets out for revenge he doesn't simply kill you. He forces you to kill your friends, sets you on fire, and than throws a party at your house essentially celebrating your gruesome death just to add insult to injury.
39) Felix was either on a ton of morphine and didn't know what he was saying or Felix gets over losing his wife and his left leg faster than most people get over losing their car keys.
40) You can disobey a direct order from your superior, physically assault said superior's bodyguards, screw-up a Hong Kong narcotics investigation directly resulting in atleast 4 agents being killed (one of whom is MI6), and illegally use government property to go on a personal mission of revenge essentially becoming a vigilante and after all this still get offered your old job back. No questions asked.
41) Bond will pimp out the ex-girlfriend of a ruthless drug lord and hook her up with the President of their country. 007, the great matchmaker.
42) Timothy Dalton is the most underrated Bond in the history of the franchise. Thankyou Tim or being ahead of the curve, giving us two great performances, and giving us a nice taste of things to come.
Mr.Dalton, I salute you.
44 Equally so with cameras
45 After being freaked out by Bond in Venice, the pidgeon was out for revenge for ten whole years.
80) A Ferris Wheel is a good place to speak of love.
For LTK :
47) An iguana is a girl's best friend. (Marilyn would have objected to that)
48) What's a New York ADA doing in Florida ?
49) Q is a hypocrite (asking 007 to give back his equipment intact, and as soon as he himself is in the field, treating a piece of equipment like trash ! For shame, Major Boothroyd !)
50) Rémy Julienne was in great form this time. The final chase if probably his masterpiece.
51) Bullets know the James Bond Theme.
