Dalton is the closest to the image of Bond as I've imagined him in the books. He just looked right in the part. For years I had the teaser poster of him in TLD saying "The most dangers Bond...ever" on my bedroom wall when I lived in my parents' hous…

Curious they'd keep the word license/licence in the title when a year earlier there was a hit teen film in the U.S. called License to Drive with the two Coreys. Even if you don't remember the film you may have heard the hit song from it, Billy Oc…

A few things to add: -For those who came to be fans from the GE video game I say great, glad it got you on board. While not a gamer myself, if inspired others into discovering the legacy of the series that's a great thing. Sometimes I wish I coul…

I didn't mind some of the personal things in Bond films until they became a regular, overwhelming part of the series. Moore's little asides when losing a colleague like Vijay or anger at Orlov or Zorin said volumes, probably because they were apart …

Anybody else think the whole reference to the precredit sequence taking place in 1986 was unnecessary? We're not trying too hard to sweep the Dalton era under the carpet here. They could've presented it in a different way. Brosnan wasn't Bond in …

As a longtime fan who was apparently one of the few not blown away by GE after the long 6-year gap, I have numerous things I'd change right from the very beginning. -Serra's gunbarrel theme is lacking and I don't like the stiffness of Brosnan, wh…

Thanks, Alexander Waverly. For Bond it was Honey, I Shrunk the Box Office Grosses.

[quote="bondsum;883851" I might be wrong about this but I think the big movie to compare to LTK would be Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which was released just shy of 2 weeks prior to the release date of the Bond movie in the US. My guess is th…

While I could never avoid teasers and trailers on Bond films, I limit myself on reading too many details, which is hard sometimes on sites like this. I recall going to Ain't It Cool News back in '99 and one of the moronic posters put in all caps the…

When LTK was released it was noted how the title song had opening notes that resembled Goldfinger. The music itself is okay, but the way the lyrics compare having a licence to kill to romance is just awkward. It's also interesting how Eon went fr…

While not a conventional blockbuster, The Last Emperor was a prestige picture and won the Best Picture Oscar and several others. While it was a big picture in that sense it's pretty forgettable as far as well-known Oscar-winners go these days. I …

Yes, Connery is the clear winner BUT it has to be acknowledged a good portion of his success was post NSNA when he enjoyed a career resurgence. While he brings class and a star quality to anything he acts in, he had a really checkered career in the …

I've always liked Risico although it sounds a lot like Sicario, which I don't think did very well. I don't care for Property of a Lady, it sounds too much like a Merchant-Ivory or some highbrow film, same with The Hildebrand Rarity. But they went…

If I'm remembering it right, the ad campaign for Tightrope said something like "This time he's not Dirty Harry" and was clear to emphasize this was gripping in a different type of way and not to expect the iconic lines like "Go ahead, make my day."

Although the movie was underwhelming I had fun with all the hype of Indy's return, rediscovering my enjoyment of the character and causing me to collect or recollect Indy memorabilia. Still enjoy this series much more than Star Wars.

He didn't hold back in his opinions. Of course, he wasn't necessarily incorrect in what he said either, although they were very reflective of the pro-Connery sentiment that was all too common during Moore's era. Interesting he thought it would be th…

Honestly, I think Eon got the rights back to Blofeld and Spectre and just said they'd throw anything out there and it would work as a plot. The worst thing was the retconning of making Silva, etc. part of Spectre.

Another thing that always bugged me in LALD (should've included this in the "What would you have done differently" thread) is how thick is Kananga that he'd eliminate not just 1 but 3 Mi6 agents that would surely bring an investigation? Dr. No ma…
