Looks like Tim is enjoying a little meal there. I wonder what's on his plate?
Pussy...that's enough.
Did you see what I did there?
In case any of you were wondering exactly how classy I am.
Looking through the trivia for the film on IMDB, it also shows what a true pro Dalton is, if anyone ever had any doubts.
From IMDB
The filming of Angel and Skinner's first meeting at the supermarket was filmed over the course of two days. The conversation was filmed entirely from Timothy Dalton's perspective first. The next day, early in the morning, they were to film the conversation with Angel's perspective and close-ups. Dalton, much to the surprise of the crew, showed up early the next morning, and even though he wasn't going to be on camera for that particular portion of the filming, he sat off-camera in Skinner's chair and played the role so that Simon Pegg would be able to have him to work with while filming his part as Angel. Pegg stated it really showed Dalton's professionalism.
From IMDB
Timothy Dalton has said this film, particularly the sequence where Skinner and Angel are shooting at each other during the chase, was the most fun he's ever had on a film. Jim Broadbent stated it was a thrill for him to be driving "James Bond" around during that sequence. Simon Pegg also stated the sequence and the fistfight between Angel and Skinner was the same type of thrill for him to shoot, staying it was very much in the front of his mind that he was being shot at, and fighting with "James Bond".
From IMDB
The character of Simon Skinner having a mustache was Timothy Dalton's idea, and was not specifically written for the character. Dalton thought that it would add an extra bit of sleaze to the character, and it hearkened back to his days of playing Prince Barin in Flash Gordon (1980).
One of the many reasons I really enjoy watching Timothy Dalton onscreen, no matter how large or small the part. He really gets into the role.
I am assuming pegg was a dalton as bond fan before hot fuzz
Also love the idea of Dalton in the Far East.
Ridley Scott to direct please.
I'm not sure if he is specifically a fan of Dalton's Bond (unless Pegg has said so), but I think it is safe to assume that he is a Bond fan in general. It can't be a coincidence that Pegg cast another Bond in another film.
Thank Pegg for that fantastic treatment on DVD of that ridiculously overlooked (outside the UK) masterpiece of a show.
Pegg has been acting together with:
Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz (2007)
Daniel Craig in Tintin 2011)
Pierce Brosnan in The World's End (2013)
Craig may be coincidence but still.
I have to re-watch SPACED with the Homage-O-Meter on. That's not a joke, you can turn it on while watching and it'll tell you every single reference to other films.
As I said, great DVD treatment.
Watch this but prepare for being in stitches.
