My favourite Moneypenny with my favourite Bond... and Barry. TLD had to be my #1 Bond movie!
Edit: had a quick look, apparently yes- seems to be from Brighton Film Festival
And a great photo as well. Caroline Bliss was wasted in the Dalton films, she could've and should've stayed on for the Brosnan films.
To be fair to Barry Manilow (!), his songs have survived in the culture longer than those from TLD.
I'm pretty sure that Sanchez base when the helicopter lands uses the same technique.
Sorry, it only occurred to me today.
("Even working with Kubrick was easier than this!!!")
:x :x :x
Anyway, someone is a big fan.
But, when he was good (his unstoppable drive to “win”, especially in LTK, his cold ruthlessness (putting Pushkin on his knees and sticking a gun in his face), his anger (popping the balloon in TLD was, and is, awesome), he was damn good. He’s a lesson to be happy when we have something special, because all too soon, they will be gone.
Thats a great video. I always loved that throwaway moment with Bond reacting to the cheap coffee. And I havent seen that cut clip from LTK, only in photos, they should have left it in, it looks superb!
*Apologies if these have been posted before*
Welcome to the party, pal!
This picture of Dalton smiling and staring straight into the camera has always amused me for some reason.
While Connery is my favorite individual Bond, Dalton/Bond and d'Abo/Kara will always be my favorite Bond/Bond girl couple in the series,.
Yes I liked his Bond's drive, as you put it: he was clearly motivated. But he lacked the swagger and self-confidence that all the other Bonds had, and I wonder if that's not what the audience at large like about Bond. Dalton's Bond never does anything like the Range Rover parking valet key toss from CR, or the grape-eating of TB, or even the hotel lobby from DAD. I think the audience like a bit of swagger, and he's the only one missing it.
And yeah, the charisma is down a notch from Roger. I'm not sure he even really sells the "Better make that two" line. Whereas weirdly he feels like a bigger star in Rocketeer to me: I'd have liked to have seen him play Bond with a different director perhaps.
Despite my quibbles with TD, TLD is possibly my favourite Bond movie. It hits the sweet spot in terms of tone for me, and came out when I was the right age so it's got a bit of a special spot in my affections.
He's still one of the best Bond's and imo is the closest we've got to Fleming's Bond.
TLD is a fantastic debut movie, and Dalton really is brilliant.
There's quite a fun photo of him on the Rock when shooting the PTS where he's meeting a young commando by the name of Lt Bond, I think.
Here's some examples from The Living Daylights (the pictures' bid cost are 350-450 GBP)
I love 'em all, but this is MY Bond!
