Dalton was true to the character in the books. The problem is most viewers in the 80s weren't familiar with the books. Fair or unfair, Dalton was always going to be compared to Connery. And while he was a refreshing change from the comical Moore, to viewers the pendulum had swung too far. Dalton's version would've suited the post Batman Begins world, where viewers were ready for a darker, grittier Bond, which they ultimately got in Daniel Craig. In a way, Dalton was about 2 decades early.
Well said. Dalton truly was ahead of his time.
What I also loved about Dalton’s Bond is that he actually does spy stuff. He gets Kara to fall in love with him to get to Koskov and he used Sanchez’s growing paranoia to question the loyalty of his men in LTK. Brosnan, and to a lesser extent Craig have just used Brute Force and action scenes to topples their enemies.
That was what made Dalton a great Bond.... he was usually the smartest person in the room.
But people still love Roger Moore's goofy bond movies
@@v-trigger6137 I don´t,actually.I prefer a gritty and down to earth Bond.
V - Trigger , the people who like Moore’s Bond movies probably think the whole idea of a super spy is silly. Moore seems like he was in on the joke.
"If I trusted Koskov we wouldn't be talking." Dalton's Bond shows so much professionalism here. M wanted Pushkin assassinated, but 007 saw through it.
ironduke0775 "That's the first time, I've ever been grateful that James Bond is a good shot."
KOHF34 Also Daltons Bond was not afraid to Defy orders which caused friction between Daltons Bond and Robert Browns M especially in License To Kill when Bond chooses to go after Sanchez for injuring Felix and murdering his wife Della. Can tell in that scene to how much anger and hatred he felt and wanted revenge while M wanted Bond to remove himself from the case as knew his personal vendettas would destroy the mission he was chosen for and to have Bond go rouge is rare in the series.
That is why I like him. He is a professional and isn't afraid to question his order. Hell, he somewhat of a detective and saw through on the plot and knew Pushkin wasn't behind anything. As much as I like Craig Bond, he is deeply flaw. I can imagine the early stages of Craig's Bond following orders and killing Pushkin which would have allowed Koskov to get away. Its sad that Dalton Bond was so disliked for being novel accurate Bond. Craig Bond ended up getting the glory of being an accurate dark James Bond.
It informs a future M’s words in SPECTRE: “Have you ever had to kill a man, Max? Have you? To pull that trigger, you have to be sure. Yes, you investigate, analyze, assess, target. And then you have to look him in the eye. And you make the call. And all the drones, bugs, cameras, transcripts, all the surveillance in the world can't tell you what to do next. A license to kill is also a license *not* to kill.”
Actually, Koskov wanted Pushkin dead, M just simply bought into Koskov's bullshit story.
This single scene shows us how goddamn scary it's when Bond is angry. His frustation after Saunder's death filled his head. The way he forces Pushkin's lady to be naked is absolutely disturbing yet a brilliant way to show how mad he is. After Bond beats the bodyguard, he seems and feels sorry after what he did to the Lady. Damn, Timothy Dalton was sooo awesome and way absolutely ahead of its time. In my humble opinion, Timothy Dalton is the one who saves and leads James Bond franchise to modern era of action-spy movies
Not really commercially Bond was in decline. The Living Daylights was written for Brosnan too. Goldeneye (Brosnan's first film) in 1995 saved Bond and it became the 90s Goldfinger.
I'm finally watching this movie for the first time, and this scene gave me chills.
@@sickpup820 The Living Daylights was a gigantic hit in the 80s
@@sickpup820 The Living Daylights was a decent hit. It grossed higher than the bond films between it and Moonraker. Also Dalton was sought out numerous times before Brosnan. First time was on her majesty secret service (he was 23 so he felt himself too young for the role), then a second time for For your eyes only (schedule conflict), then A view to a kill (thought script was too campy), and initially declined The Living Daylights at first for schedule conflict. Then Brosnan was going to be offered, but one of the heads of MGM didn't want 007 played by Remmington Steel. Then once Dalton heard the role was open, he immediately came to MGM a few hours later after finishing his filming for his previous movie.
Look what is going on with Russia today, this film is absolutely up to date!
Dalton portrayed the Bond character very well. I wish he would have done more Bond films. Two was not nearly enough. Great scene and great Bond movie, one of my favs.
FERRARI GUY Dalton was originally going to play Bond again In 1991 which would have been Property Of A Lady as had a contract to play him 3 times. Due to legal issues of lawsuits and the producers going to court the legal issues drew out for 6 years causing delays. Dalton was frustrated as was hoping to play within two years after License To Kill by 1994 when was asked to play Bond in GoldenEye he resigned from the role while filming a tv miniseries sighting he was frustrated and wanted to move on to other projects. Goldeneye was written for Dalton but after he resigned, the studio didn’t want to deal with massive rewrites and more delays so kept Goldeneye darker to fit Daltons era but hired Brosnan who took over from Dalton. Only changes they made were the villains background and updated that Goldeneye takes after the fall of the Cold War after the pre title sequence which took place in 1986. Originally Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons were considered for the role of Alec Trevelyn along with Anthony Hopkins as Alec was supposed to be an older M16 agent and mentor to Bond but changed so he was younger. Sean Bean took the role and changed his background so that his parents were betrayed by British during World War 2 and he was too young to remember but used that to show his anger towards England and became a criminal mastermind while was working for M16.
As much as we wanted Dalton to done his 3rd film, It is better for Dalton to leave us wanting more instead of outstaying his welcome.
Connery, Moore, & Brosnan had absolute stinkers during their last Bond outings. At least Dalton did gave us memorable (but overlooked & underrated) bond classics
Great line - "If I trusted Koskov, we wouldn't be talking" - Bond showing his professionalism and judgement of the situation. 👍
One of my all time favorite Bond lines.
Bond's thoughts: that said I have to split your wig somewhat or M will split mine
After the 'Fun and Games' of the Moore Era, Timothy Dalton put the ruthlessness back into Bond and played him as the intelligent, trained killer he was.
Connery wasn't just as tough in my opinion. When u see Dalton's Bond pointing a gun at u, u really believe he can kill u. I never had that feeling with Moore and Connery, and I love these guys.
@@megamanxhunter "That's a Smith & Wesson, and you've had your six"
Connery was just as ruthless as Dalton in that scene
@@megamanxhunter dalton, craig and occasionally brosnan are the truest we get to the stone cold cynical agent that fleming imagined.
connery was a brave gentleman agent
moore was the campy, funny joke agent
lazenby was actually decent, sort of a mix between moore's campyness and connery's gentleman style
@ Christophe Tam. Dalton doesn't look like he could knock off a fly let alone an evil human villain in the Bond films. Connery had the look and the physique of a guy who looked, as the old expression goes, "as tough as nails" in his Bond films. And Connery allegedly beat the stuffing out of a gangster-type guy who was harrasing actress Lana Turner when Lana Turner (who was a friend of Connery) told Connery that a gangster was bothering her.
@@michaelbarlow6610 At the end of the day, you can’t compare Connery to Dalton or Moore to Craig. At the end of the day, we all have a favourite Bond.
Ian Fleming would be proud of Dalton
when i read one of the books i thought of dalton or connery
I think of Dalton for the Fleming and Gardner books but Craig for the Benson and newer ones.
Oh yes he will, Dalton read the books in order to stay true to the character.
how so?
He portrayed Bond straight from the books. Everytime I read the old Fleming and Gardener books I imagine Dalton
Not only is this my favourite scene from my favourite Bond film, but in turn, my favourite scene in the series. It cuts straight to the heart of what Bond is. As in the book, Bond gets by on his own wits, rather than any Q-Branch technology. "I take it this is not a social call, 007." / "Correct, you should have brought lillies." Love that exchange.
glad to see someone else appreciate the real Dalton
Significance of lillies mean what?
This is why Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond. True to how the character was originally written in the novels. Ian Fleming would be proud.
Maybe the most well-played scene in the franchise
@Metusalem979. The scene between Bond and Pushkin in "The Living Daylights" is almost as great a scene dramatically speaking as the train compartment fight scene between Bond and Red Grant in "From Russia With Love". A close third is the fight scene between Rosa Klebb and Bond in "FRWL".
Agreed
That glare of Dalton's at 1:02 has always stuck with me since I first watched this as a little kid. So badass yet so damn realistically frightening. If you had anyone look at you like that in RL you know you'd be done for. After several years of silliness due to Moore getting old; Tim was such a breath of fresh air to the series. We all got cheated when he couldn't do more.. 2 more movies and he woulda been super beloved. Shame.
The way Dalton's Bond checked over his shoulder where Purkin's mistress was when talking to the General was badass also, he pause for a minute checking the situation couldn't see Roger Moore doing this.
Couldn’t agree more. Moore peaked with the Spy Who Loved Me and then turned the movies into Carry On parodies. That’s why Dalton turned down For Your Eyes Only because he didn’t like the direction the Bond films were going at the time. In my humble opinion, Dalton should of done at least two more after Licence to Kill, which would of really cemented him as a great Bond.
@@LexingtonDeville984 the definitive incarnation
If I ever met someone who knew nothing about James Bond and wanted me to explain the character to them, I'd simply just show them this scene as it captures all the characteristics integral to the Bond character so well. Ruthless, Suave, Dry-witted and sexually aggressive. But most importantly all these characteristics are communicated subtly as Bond is just as importantly a character who is composed, restrained and professional (most of the time), and thus Dalton and the film-makers knew not to vulgarly ram these qualities down our throat with some over the top scene.
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is James Bond.
Dalton as bond is the best ever, he knocks it out of the park with his interpretation of Fleming's character.
papa Connery is a great bond, his movies are physical action , Bronson's much to stiff. Plus his films are over the top CGI.
papa dalton is the best actor that brings the bond character to life , not Bronson. And Connery did not have CGI in his ( as you say) later films because there was no CGI in twice or diamonds, his last 2 films.
@eating sugar no papa oh just shut the fuck up. Can't people just appreciate them all instead of arguing about who was "the best"?
eating sugar no papa We get it - you’re a shill for the Brosnan films. Connery, Craig and Dalton are the three who feel like Bond.
At 2:10 he takes a moment to mull it over and think through his next move carefully. Other actors would’ve just hit the next line “Where’s Koskoff?” But Dalton didn’t. He took 5 seconds out to actually act. That’s why he’s the best.
The single best scene in the Bond cannon. No gadgets and no silly one-liners.
Bond8789 Just him, his Walther PPk, and the license to kill.
One of my favourite scenes ever, not just in bond. The music is perfect.
@ Bond8789. The single best, most dramatic scene in all of the Bond films is the intense conversation and fight scene between Bond and Red Grant in the Orient Express train compartment in "FRWL". Second best is the scene in "TLD" between Bond and General Pushkin in which Bond is supposed to bump off Russian General Pushkin but realizes that Pushkin is telling the truth about Koskov.
Well, one gadget, but it's not Bond's.
@@michaelbarlow6610 I disagree. Dalton is vastly superior to Connery as an actor, and this sequence has an atmosphere no other Bond movie has achieved, perfectly conveying the essence of Ian Fleming’s creation.
Two great Welsh actors. Love this film.
🏴
This is 100 percent bond, no special effects, just pure raw 007!
Or any of that dreadful CGI!.
@@anthonylewis2080 CGI is from a keyboard, not physical effects like it used to be. The days of artists and technicians.
I love how grounded in reality Dalton's Bond was, and now I appreciate his intensity in the role. I wish he had made at least one more film before the legal mess between License to Kill and GoldenEye prompted him to quit.
TheAeroAvatar imagine how much greater goldeneye would have been with dalton, not saying brosnan was bad in it.
My only concern is Sean Bean. Sean Bean was the bad ass in that film and I feel like he and Dalton would of clashed a bit in their dark nature talents!
TheAeroAvatar also GoldenEye was written for Dalton and his darker tone as Bond. After Dalton resigned in 1994 they didn’t have time to rewrite or make changes to script at time Brosnan was hired to replace him which is why GoldenEye is darker movie then Brosnan’s other movies as Bond.
@@scottknode898 The series should've continue with Dalton's example and with the tone set by GoldenEye, regardless of which actor was in the part. I love the Brosnan films, but just imagine if they had kept that winning formula, we might not have had that mess that was Die Another Day.
ChimpManZ1264 i do see your point but I think that is what would have made an interesting dynamic. Very similar but on opposites sides of the battlefield. Plus I would have loved to hear Dalton say “No, for ME.” when he drops Janus from the satellite!
This scene is why Timothy Dalton is my favorite James Bond.
Yep. This scene reminded me of everything I was missing from Roger's movies. "Oh yeah, he could be a real SOB when he had to be..."
Well to be specific Roger actually had this kind of moment in Man with the Golden Gun with a weapon smith.
Catinkontti Roger Moore had his darker moments like For Your Eyes Only walking up to visit his wife Tracy’s grave until the scene was ruined by the wheelchair bound villain who by some sources say it may or not be Blofeld. Also when Moore’s Bond uncharacteristically kicks Emil Louque’s car off the cliff. Other good moment when slaps Andrea Anders and twists her arm saying he will break if she doesn’t give him information Even in The Spy Who Loved Me and Octopussy he had his serous moments
Totally agree. He’s hard as shit in this scene
This scene is brilliant. The moment Bond tells Pushkin to get on his knees always sends a chill down my spine
This is why Timothy Dalton my favourite Bond protagonist ever. He's not some comical figure like Moore or elegant manequin like Brosman. This scene shows how much more rough and closer to the original book Bond he is. Should have made more movies with him. He's downright scary and cold blooded. If they ditched the boring action filled afgan part, this movie would be perfect.
What do you think about Daniel Craig?
+Turtle1631991 I always like to imagine what Goldeneye might have been like if it had still been Dalton. It still feels like it was written for him.
+Turtle1631991 boring Afghan part? How dare ya?
+Jason Lasica it was written for him. It was supposed to be called Property Of A Lady, in 1991. But with the whole mgm thing and stuff he quit. Property Of A Lady got a few tweaks, and soon became Goldeneye
This film could have been saved by a decent villain. IMO, it should have been all Whitaker. Koskov was such a lightweight character.
1:45 the way he delivers his lines just cold-blooded and toned, you can really tell when an actor has done his fair share of works. This is why I love theatre actors, if Dalton came into my room and started an interrogation, I would absolutely shit my pants. Dalton can pass-off as a professional killer.
No body has played, this role as professionally as Dalton, you really see how James Bond is a ruthless cold killer!
@@batmandestroys1978A Calculated Cold Govt Assassin.
Superb scene. Both Dalton and Rhys-Davies are great.
The way he uses the woman to dupe the guard and kick the living daylights out of him. Sets up the execution and all the while the theme stirs in the background. This, this is why TLD and Dalton are unparalleled
John Barry really knocked it out of the park with the score in this movie!
So sad it was his last Bond score
I loved Dalton as bond, I appreciate all the actors for what they did. Connery was suave and stylish, Moore gets a bad rap for being cartoonish but I felt like his movies were simply fun and he brought his own style of humour to it instead of trying to replicate Connery. Dalton you can tell is a classically trained actor, his acting ability is evident throughout his two films. Again he made it his own way, he didn't try to be like Connery or Moore. Craig gets all the glory for Bond being 'dark' nobody seems to remember this kind of scene from Dalton, Connery even did a slight bit of it.
Dalton is one of the world top 30 actors, very talented, incredible good work ethics, down to earth, lives a normal life, kills it in every movie or theater play he is in. He can do comedy, action, thriller, drama and movies that is kind of between all that. Dalton is usually the highlight in every good and bad movies he is in. He is a troubled man, he likes his solitude and peace, very secluded.
He seem actually grateful, but I think that is because he worked the long and hard road, they get humbled by success.
This is exactly how Bond is supposed to be portrayed as. Dark and cold.
Yes after vesper and Tracey (and others) James Bond turned darker
If he was just dark, cold and ruthless, he would have killed Pushkin. Bond was very smart in that scene. Something that often does not seem to matter for many Bond fans nowadays. In the Brosnan and Craig Bond is very gritty and physically strong and they are adored for that. But how often has Craig's Bond really used bis brain?
Bond handles the situation with such professionalism
Dalton Bonds relationship with Pushkin is almost like an earlier version of Brosnan Bonds relationship with Zukovsky
To this day this scene is the best case for Dalton being the Bond Fleming imagined. This scene is a masterclass in James Bonding
After the Moore years this scene was like being doused with cold water...i.t was that good..
I agree. I enjoyed Moore but after a dozen years, it was about time that Bond became threatening again.
Steven Cassidy Couldn’t agree more. The Moore years was like a camp party with no end in sight, and the Dalton movies were a raw punch to the face.
Dalton movies are so underrated
The ultimate irony of this scene is this is probably the most ruthless you ever get to see 007, just short of basically telling his would be victim that he's going to murder him and there's nothing he can do about, asserting his control over Pushkin, he still never kills him. (*spoiler alert*)
I feel like the closest Bond ever got to a scene like this (at least that comes to mind at the moment) is when he leaves Dominic Green in the desert with a can of petrol fuel to drink.
+John D'Isselt don't forget just following that in QOS as well - the scene where he confronts Yusef, Vesper's boyfriend.. that scene reminded me a lot like this one...
Dalton was truly ahead of his time, it's shame the public never really warmed to him - and it's a shame he never got his 3rd film.
+Daniel John Clement lol completely forgot that scene. and I agree. I actually read I think in imdb that GoldenEye was actually written with Dalton's darker, grittier Bond in mind which is why of Brosnan's films that one feels a bit more just appropriately bleaker. and for the longest time Goldeneye was my favorite 007 film (until Skyfall) lol
+Daniel John Clement also I think it's a shame people give QOS the hard time they often give it. while I would agree the film doesn't even hold a candle to Casino Royale or Skyfall (strictly going by Craig's films) and while it obviously isn't the most memorable title in the franchise I often hear people say things like 'it's as bad as Pierce Brosnan's films'. like first of all Brosnan's films aren't all that horrible and second of all considering there exists entries like Diamonds are Forever or Octopussy in the franchise, Quantum of Solace really isn't that bad
+John D'Isselt So true! Loads of people say that Sean Connery is the best 007 (and in the end it's all opinion) but Diamonds Are Forever was a BAD Bond film.
Those who don't like Dalton or Craig tend to be fans of Roger Moore but Octopussy was TERRIBLE.
And besides Die Another Day, I don't think there's anything wrong at all with Bosnan's films.
The best scene of the whole bond series. Its PERFECT.
The part when Dalton says that was damn stupid is so badass. He was a great James Bond.
And such a good actor. I loved his darker and edgier Bond way before Daniel Craig.
@@miltontavares9506 The most skiller actor who played James Bond, the one who took it so seriously he declined it at age 23, though it was a career boost because James Bond age are 35-40. Then he went in, read the books, took every scene seriously. Are known to be an easy actor to work with, directors likes him and always talk highly about his work ethics, always first to the set and last to leave, and always there to help with scenes he ain't in.
People have to understand that to convey feelings in a theater, it's difficult, because you have to convey it to the people at the back row.
@@birdsteak9267 Indeed and also Dalton was keen to do his own stunts. He was great and deserved more as Bond.
@@birdsteak9267He is superbly amazing
@@birdsteak9267Plus he's really gorgeous and age very gracefully
Now This is how Bond demonstrates his Licence to Kill
Like Mallory said in "Specter", 'sometimes a licence to kill, is also a licence not to kill."
A license to kill, not a license to abuse traffic laws.
Dalton was great in this scene and so was Rhs-Davies. They were both very calm and deadly serious.
This may be my favorite Bond scene. "Correct, you should have brought lillies." That's the rawest dialogue in any of the films.
viperbananas Dalton definitely felt more at home playing Bond as a killer than a lover. That gun in his hand was like an extra digit.
Well, the way he just smashes Pushkin's guard, oof. I love this scene.
viperbananas Yeah, that was sweet and a decent excuse to show a lady's ass. XD
And both Welsh
The best scene in the best James Bond film ever! Ultimate perfection! ***** My Top 10 is: 1965, 1967, 1969, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1987(!!!), 1995.
Timothy Dalton's Bond would make an absolutely great game character. No character oozes this much intensity, professionalism and control. He was incredibly smart too. Not to mention him being easy on the eyes. If they were to make a Bond game one day, choose Tim's Bond. And perfected it with John Barry's ever-so-stunning scores. Paradise
Timothy Dalton was a pretty sexy, like James Bond he really has everything
@@lauramLadyAnime Glad you think so
That guy's reaction at 2:45, one great example at how realistic the Dalton era is. Has to be my favorite reaction in the series.
This is one of Dalton’s greatest Bond scenes. This is exactly how I imagine Bond when I read the novels.
I have recently read a good few of the bond books and Dalton was the best bond
@@davidnolan6162 Agreed!
Okay I'll be honest as a hardcore James Bond fan I haven't finished watching this movie and I have to say this scene is very intense. Something only Timothy Dalton could pull off. He is a badass Bond and bought a whole new portrayal of Excellence to the character. Even though he's awesome And badass I have no favorites. I love all of them for all the right reasons. And for him it's because he is dark, intimidating, and relentless.
Alot of the credit to this excellent scene must go to Daltons and Rhys Davies' powerhouse acting. Plus John Barrys moody music.
What a superb actor John Rys-Davies is! He was outstanding as General Leonid Pushkin in "The Living Daylights".
I agree
Fantastic movie, maybe even my fave.
The lady in this scene is Virginia Hey who played Warrior Woman in Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior
Surprisingly, she’s in Rick snd Morty as a Gazorpian.
Underrated Bond ❤️☝🏽
Daylights marked a end of an era because mainly this was John barry's final bond music score. He leaves the franchise due to health issues but, also give us one of his greatest scores in the franchise. Also this is director Glenn's final bond film . He started as editor after Peter hunt. I think he directed 5 or 6 bonds. As it turned out , daylights is a great bond adventure.
Dalton was probably the most underrated Bond. I always though he was great as 007.
Pushkin later teamed up with Alec Trevelyan and helped defeat Sauron.
Dhi Mancini no but Joe Don Baker was in Goldeneye as Jack Wade but played one of the villains Whitaker in The Living Daylights
*Saruman
@@jasons2023 Saruman = Francisco Scaramanga ( _Man With the Golden Gun_ , 1974)
The intensely sentimental music sells the scene~Amazing score~!
The 80s Bond films had the best acting of any decade, generally speaking. There were great actors in other decades: Mads Mikkelsen, Telly Savalas, and others, but generally speaking the 80s had the better acting. Dalton was the most skilled actor to portray Bond.
Timothy Dalton's James Bond is professional and a tough guy. But also Dalton's Bond is one of the most human incarnations in the entire saga.
If he was a cold person, he would have not given a damn to kill Pushkin.
For cold characterizations there is Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and even the comical Roger Moore.
Why Moore? Just watch the ending of the fight between Bond and Sandor at The Spy Who Loved Me. He doesn't seem to give a damn about killing anyone who gets in his way. He even makes fun of it.
Good point. Dalton is more humanized but intense and focused, level headed but with flaws
@@birdsteak9267exactly how bond is like in the books
@@mohammedashian8094 Yeah all good characters need these characteristics, it is how we can relate with him as readers... Just look at all the mary-sue's, there is no personality to draw from, they are just flawless perfections, basically a parody of a human creature.
This scene is brilliantly written and executed. Mostly dialogue, but so much going on dramatically.
This is what happens when two good actors finds a rythm, they lift each-other up!
Timothy Dalton looks so handsome in this suit.. actually, he looks handsome in everything 😉♥️
This scene is just brilliant
John Rhys-Davies is awesome as Pushkin, and no one gives him enough credit. Stellar performances all around in this movie.
He’s old friend of Indiana Jones the famous archeologist.
this scenes brutallityand coldness is way ahead of it's time
Yeah it was about 20 years too early.
DarkSendo94 yes it was ahead of its time which didn’t settle well with fans and especially critics. License To Kill especially was panned for being too serious and lack of marketing deeply affected its success at the box office. They said Dalton was a good Bond but movie was too serious and violent for its time and almost got a Rated R instead of the normal PG Bond movies had in past.
@@scottknode898 It was rated 18 here in the UK, the only Bond film to ever get that rating-I think the Craig versions are 15's or 12 A's but most were PG rated especially during Brosnan's tenure, the classic 60's ones were probably U rating since most of them were repeated on ITV on Saturday afternoons at 5 pm.
Dalton was playing the Bond of the books which the audience didn't like and wanted the "jokey" versions, Craig is now doing the same only the audience is more maturer and is more accepting of this version.
Never understood the goofy nature of someone who's an assassin.
Dalton best bond hands down no silly catch phrase. Was about being Bond. Sean and Craig ties in second
@ Tracey Wooldridge. Connery will always be the best James Bond. Although Dalton was closer to Fleming's conception of the moody Bond in the novels, Dalton had three flaws as Bond. First, Dalton looked too young for the role of Bond. Second, his looks like Brosnan's were too smoothly handsome, whereas Bond is supposed to have rugged good looks like Connery and Lazenby. Third, Dalton unfortunately spoke his dialogue in his two Bond films through clenched teeth. For example , the way he would say the name "Koskov" in "The Living Daylights". Connery had the perfect blend of rugged good looks, toughness, charm, charisma, and sarcastic sense of humor.
@@michaelbarlow6610 Dalton was forty one in this film. Sean Connery was ten years younger when he made his first Bond film. i should have thought Dalton was just the right age.
@ James Hogan. I'd have to double-check but as I recall, Connery was 32 not 31 when he first played the role of Bond in "Dr. No" in 1962. Even in "TLD", Dalton appeared to be just a touch too young to play Bond. Of course he would have looked way too young to play Bond back in 1969 when Broccoli and Saltzman briefly considered him for the role of Bond after Connery told them that "YOLT" was going to be Connery's last Bond film.
@@michaelbarlow6610 Connery was born August 25 1930. Filming of Dr No began January 1962 making him 31 during production.
@@michaelbarlow6610We ALL KNOW you love Connery. We do. We really do. Just don't go force it to someone else who likes a different Bond actor just cuz you think yours is superior. Take your Connery and leave. You must be tired typing that speech. Hint:No one's gonna read it
I swear,
One of my first memories is my mom walking in on me watching this scene when I was 3 or 4.
I was on the 2nd floor, and my dad was right outside the window, on the roof, power washing. She stormed over to the tv and turned it off before “dragging” him inside and out into the hallway. It’s the only memory I have of them yelling at each other.
I’ve been obsessed with Bond ever since.
#Make #VCR #Hip #Again
This scene just screams bond. Dalton absolutely nailed it in his two movies.
One of my fav Dalton scenes. Shows how cold and calculated he was as Bond. He was a very good Bond and more what I think Fleming intended. A man struggling with inner demons.
This and Casino Royale have the exact perfect tone for a Bond film. This is a dark, spy thriller of the Cold War variety. They should have at least tried to bring back John Rhys Davies for Goldeneye rather than giving us Robbie Coltrane, who wasn’t bad, but a bit too cartoony. This is so much bad ass Welsh mixed with a 1980s version of From Russia With Love it’s just awesome. It’s just too bad we didn’t get a cool, capable Felix Leiter until Jeffrey Wright in 2006. Felix of the movies has usually been older and often scolding of Bond or just boring. He’s 007’s equal. Make him cool and interesting. I vote for Will Smith, the coolest guy of the 90s. Get another darker, more serious Welsh Bond and have Will be the comic relief, where appropriate.
You can really feel the madness of Bond by seeing him knocking the guard with the door and his gun
I had the chance to meet John Rhys-Davies at RI Comic-Con last year. Sweet guy, he seemed to be enjoying his time there while he was meeting the fans.
If Ian Fleming was still alive by the time this film was released, he would give a big thumb up to Dalton for how he brought out the JB in Ian Fleming's mind.
I’d say he’d give Tim a big kiss and a thank you
the girl was the warrior woman in mad max 2
Yeah. Virginia Hey.
Dalton was such a cold blooded SOB.
Best Bond ever.
Whenever I say Dalton is my favorite I send people to this scene
Same. Probably the most well acted scene in the entire series. Dalton was on another level.
Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery are my favourite James Bond's without doubt.
My most favorite for last 32 years
The best bond movie
Dalton brought back the actual James Bond character after Moore. Craig did the same after Brosnan. Sadly, the world was not prepared in 1987 the way it was in 2006.
This film was supposed to be a reboot but Albert R. Broccoli vetoed the idea. He felt that audiences didn't want to pay to see Bond as an amateur.
Ladies and gentlemen... THIS... is James Bond
I love the way they talk in this scene. Its so elegant and just oozes class
Excellent writing and dialogue, very similar to the laserbeam scene in "Goldfinger"
I have seen this movie countless times but only just now did I realize exactly what Pushkin said after Bond says smiert spionam. He called it a "Beria operation" I thought he was saying a "buried operation" or "burial operation" until now.
One of the best scenes in the Bond series
I like the little look Pushkin's bodyguard gives as he's sitting down on the sofa in the hallway.
Dalton was so commanding and badass in the role, I really wish that hiatus until Goldeneye didn't happen!
Awesome scene
Dalton's Bond was ruthlessly cold. He ain't playing...LOL!!
Timothy Dalton is badass as James Bond, he should of done more.
He was asked to return as Bond in Goldeneye and he accepted, but when told he would have to do 3 more after it he changed his mind. He wanted a one off return, not do 4. Hence we got Brosnan
One of my favourite Bond films
Dalton. Bond as Fleming envisioned him. Ruthlessly efficient.
Such a shame that Walter Gotell was too ill to play this role as General Gogol. It would've been the icing on the cake for his character's arc.
Gogol was still around. He was at the end. Walter Gotell died shortly after this and a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode.
My favourite Bond moment ever
Few will recognize Pushkin's mistress as the "blue lady" Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan from Farscape played by Virginia Hey.
At 0:22, the look on Dalton face was perfect, and what made me a huge fan of his portrayal as James Bond
That face 😘😋, the sexiest bond of ever
this is one of my favorite scene so much emotion and tension i still feel like i watching it for the first time when i see this scene and the score from barry is superb it brings chills to me at especially 3:42 and a great performance for dalton and davis just thought i share it thank for uploading.
I always liked John Rhys-Davies, also as Sallah in Indiana Jones. Funny, I just realized two years later he would team up with Sean Connery in the Last Crusade.
Bond's such an amazing negotiator in this scene
That bgm @2.55 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1:39 The woman tries to get a glass of water, but James has an eye like hawk.
One of my favorite scenes of the series.
Tim dalton should've done casino royale 😁😁😕
The music is really good in this film
Daniel Craig has a lot of Timothy Dalton
I like how Timothy Dalton did this Interrogation / Torture scene for retribution. 👍
It was really legit.
Timothy Dalton IS James Bond.
dalton was the orginal dark mean bond
