    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.

    Wayne Newton is pretty funny here.

    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!
