@@user-ve5ln5le9y Oh when I watched "No Time to Die" in theatres, I for sure caught some of those references to OHMSS. I know it was a divisive movie, but I definitely appreciated NTTD a lot more than most because of the parallels to OHMSS.
I don't think it's underrated now. In retrospect people have come around that this is one of the better Bond films, and Lazenby was great in the role. I wish he'd gotten one more, but hopefully a better script than the Diamond's Are Forever that we got.
Dalton deserved more films as Bond. He was complex, dashing and suave, while not afraid to get his hands dirty. At least we got those two awesome entries.
@@matthewcoupeofficialThere were some legal issues with United Artists which took several years to clear up. By the time they were ready to shoot more films, Timothy Dalton didn’t want to commit to the five more films they wanted him to sign up for. So they replaced him with Pierce Brosnan who was originally signed to play Bond in The Living Daylights.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the most serious and important films of the series and I feel Lazenby did an excellent job portraying Bond in that film, it was a more serious role and a pivotal role for the character. It was the only Bond film to make me shed a tear, I loved Diana Rigg as it was from her role as Emma Peel from the TV series The Avengers which she had just wrapped up prior to being in the Bond film. She just died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 82, and was still as lovely as ever. RIP 🙏 😌
Being the lifelong Bond-fan that I am, with Dalton being my absolute number one, I visited Vienna just two weeks ago and of course the opera-house where Koskow escapes. Looks still like in the movie. Drove the exact streetcar that lead to Kara's house. Had goosebumps all the time! Took the wheel, amazing. To crown my vacation, I visited James Bond Action where they showed Dalton's Aston Martin. It was great.
“That’s some bulls*it, I’m not even gonna dance to this theme song” you know you really pissed Jen off when she doesn’t wanna dance to the iconic theme 😂
There's a Different cut of this film that ends on a freeze frame right after bond says we have all the time in the world, and a slow version of the song plays. It was tonally better, but I think that edit was only made for that different tv version.
Diana Rigg was big in the 60s I guess as a sex symbol in British TV Show The Avengers (not related to Marvel). In the 60s it was her or Brigitte Bardot. So, it makes sense one of them would end up as Mrs. Bond. Still, a bad Bond movie for my taste. 40y later most people knew her as Olenna Tyrell in GOT. Also, other lead actor from The Avengers, Patrick Macnee was in A View to a Kill as that fake butler of Bond. In the 90s/early 2000s? there was a big movie flop remake of that show starting Uma Thurman, Ralph Fiennes and none other than Sean Connery as the bad guy! A complete circle.
Love your reactions, Jen. I'm an English teacher. You haven't been spelling licence wrong. In the UK we differentiate between nouns and verbs by swapping a C for an S: I have a licence (noun with a C,) the DVLA license me to drive (verb with an S.) We do the same for practice/practise...(He needs more practice (noun,) He will practise (verb.) I hope that helps.
I'm glad to see that lately, Dalton is finally getting the due he deserved. He got sandwiched between 2 popular Bonds and Moore was a tough act to follow. I think Dalton is much better than Pierce Brosnan who I didn't really care for but for many of the younger generation was the Bond they grew up with and the video games from his movies were ridiculously popular and good. I just think Dalton was awesome as Bond and more people are finally talking about him more in the great Bonds conversation.
Dalton was wonderful in this movie. But I admit as a teen who watched Remington Steele on TV I was among those who desperately wanted Brosnan to be the next Bond and was disappointed when it didn’t happen. I had never heard of Dalton but thought he was rather quite handsome and I liked the darker more serious emotional take on the character after the witty antics of Roger Moore. With the collapse of the Iron Curtain (not to mention Pan Am after Lockerbie) at the end of 80s, and the end of the Cold War, the Bond franchise went dormant for a while and unfortunately Dalton got caught up in the delay. I think by the time Brosnan took on the role he was a better fit, having shaken off the goofiness of Steele and been through life’s hard knocks (his wife died of cancer in the interim) he brought more toughness to the role but was better at the humour than Dalton was.
Lazenby's greatest acting job was his job interview for Bond where he told them he acted before. OHMSS was his first role. As for Dalton, I've previously ranked all of the Bond movies (personal preference) and Dalton averaged out to be my favourite.
In all fairness it’s easier to average out higher with only 2 films, especially when both films are arguably top 10. It’s like Craig having Casino Royale and Skyfall only or just FRWL and Goldfinger for Connery
Dalton was just a character actor, not a natural choice for Bond - he was as unbelievable as Lazenby. So was Roger Moore. And I hated Craig. Winner: Sean Connery - and it's not even close.
@@CelticSpiritsCoven Lazenby was just a model. Dalton was a theater actor and had the acting ability, charisma and intensity to be Bond. The Bond producers literally had tried to get Dalton for decades to play Bond but most of the time he felt he was too young to play it.
"He's pissed". I love that scene. Timothy's acting was outstanding, his ambivalence - pissed off & saddened. There were so many scenes in which, for me, he produced some of the best acting in the entire series; this one, the entire "the sniper was a woman" segment, the encounter with Pushkin in the hotel room, the meeting at the country club in which Dalton does a fine job - without saying much, communicating with M with his eyes and also showing he doesn't buy Koskov's bs.... I could go on.
We needed to see Bond react more to his friends and colleague's getting killed; a problem I had with Moore's take. Dalton's Bond would get angry and exasperated, but didn't go so far as to become mopey like Craig often came across.
And I’m one of them and proud of it and I can tell you there’s no cure for it once you fall for the Daltonader there’s no going back, so welcome to the group
if you like Timothy Dalton try Flash Gordon and The Rocketeer for two fun performances. Also Yes Pushkin (John Rhys Davis) is Indiana Jones pal and is also Gimli the Dwarf in LOTR
Just for the record, my favorite Bond (for personal reasons) is Sir Roger Moore. The best Bond is Sir Timothy Dalton (after reading the books). My favorite Bond theme (almost impossible to chose) is Moonraker. My favorite 007 movie is The Spy Who Loved Me. The last classy Bond was Pierce Brosnam. And I did step out of unconditional love for the series after Casino Royale.
Yes when the movie came out in 87 they said that it was meant to return the character to the way of the books. Maryam d’Abo talked about it in an interview
Glad you appreciate George Lazenby, he's wildly underestimated. It took a while, but today On Her Majesty's Secret Service is regarded as one of the best Bond movies, directed by the former - and returning - Bond editor Peter Hunt. As a former Sergeant in the Royal Australian Army Commandoes, Lazenby was the only Bond actor competent in combat technique. The stuntmen highly respected him, and he accidentally knocked out one of them. Lazenby gets the opportunity to make the complete Bond, who falls in love, gets married, loses his newly wedded wife, and cries over her. Sean Connery did not do that, because he was a hopeless sour puss, so Broccoli/Salzman gave that honor to the "Aussie Male Model". Lazenby was offered a contract for two more Bond films but said no. "It was the hippie era", he said. "I didn't want to play this Tory guy". His agent agreed. Still today, George Lazenby regrets it, bitterly.
I'd heard he was talking the franchise down at the time. Having combat skills and being liked by the stuntmen is neither here nor there - it's a fantasy genre. He did nothing for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed rewarding your reaction to these, Jen. Tragic episode in Bond's life losing his wife like that, he was never the same after that, then my favourite 'Bond' actor Timothy Dalton, who I knew at the time that he was in these, not only a good actor but a great person as well, it's a pity that he didn't do more, a third one was proposed but never happened sadly.
I remember when I saw your Connery Bond collection, I was thinking a joke would be Lazenby Bond getting a video all to himself where it's just a direct reupload of OHMSS, but this makes more sense.
Jen - if you like the looks of Timothy Dalton, you should see some of his other movies. Like “The Lion in Winter,” when he plays King Phillip of France, opposite Peter O’Toole as Henry II of England, Katherine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Anthony Hopkins as Richard the Lionheart.
Tracey, BEST BOND GIRL EVER. Timothy Dalton, was simply ahead of his time. He was doing the Craig thing, but unfortunately didn't have a screenplay quite as good as Casino Royale, but it's definitely full of globetrotting and exotic locales that we want from a Bond film. I think the biggest problem is that the villain isn't memorable. Also, people still had Roger Moore's Bond in mind and weren't ready for a more serious take on the character. If the Moore Bond films hadn't become so outrageous I think Dalton's films would have gotten a better reception; Bond had become too much of a joke in the mind of most people.
Great collection, Jen! Dalton is my favorite Bond. His first movie was really good, and also the new idea of being monogamous (AIDS era) in Licence to Kill was interesting I enjoyed it in the theater (my first) and never changed my idea. Dalton was a perfect Bond!
OHMSS was the first bond movie that my dad took me too. It's still fun to watch ... I miss you in your bow tie (Laugh). Loved Tim Dalton's movies too. License to Kill is my favorite of his. I imagen one of your patreons or commentors have informed you the love interest in OHMSS is the great Diana Rigg of Avengers fame and her last acting gig was Game of Thrones. One more thing the lair in OHMSS is now a big tourist attraction PIZ Gloria in Switzerland. Super Thanks as always Jen!
The theme song for The Living Daylights was performed by A-ha. They had many hits in the 80s. Loved this theme it's from their album Stay on These Roads.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the only Bond movie not in my DVD collection. I have never considered George Lazenby to be part real Bond in any way shape or form. I prefer Sean Connery's rogue Bond movie Never Say Never over George's outing as bond.
Licence to kill is my favorite Bond .But i can see why so many film makers are latching on to Her Majesty's Secret Service, where its very hard to evaluate.. But that movie is servicing so many things in all of Bond movie series.
Bond's rifle in _The Living Daylights_ is a Walther (seems to favor this manufacturer for some random reason I'm sure Ian Fleming didn't understand 😄) WA 2000 sniper rifle. The design is somewhat unusual because it's of a "bullpup" configuration that allows for a relatively short rifle to have a full-length barrel. Basically, the grip and trigger are moved forward, while the rear of the rifle takes the place of the stock. Naturally, the magazine well (for the magazine or box of ammo) is moved to the rear behind the grip and trigger, the barrel is also moved to the rear. It looks a bit odd, but functions much like a regular rifle.
Daniel Craig bond acts a prequel in casino Royale. It also explains where Bond gets a lot of his money from and How he is so Rich. Plus, watch to the end of this?
Casino Royale was a great movie but I had no idea it was a prequel because I had not seen the beginning until later on and read it was a prequel. It really didn't make sense though other than the intro scenes because on the boat with Vesper and she was talking to him about the burden of having killed so many men. That is a talk you have with someone who has been in the game for years and he was mentally drained and needed retirement. That made no sense for a brand new agent whose entry to 00 status was to make his first kill.
@@cchavezjr7 James Bond had served in the Marines and was in the SBS, which is when he went into MI6. he would’ve killed a good few men in the SBS alone let alone the Marines. They couldn’t make it period because that would’ve been too expensive so what they did was make a prequel in modern day Times.
@@thisisadebrown That makes sense. I still feel though that the boat scene really didn't fit with the "new" agent theme though. Throughout the series I also felt the M wanting him detained or arrested and then "trusting" him when he breaks free was a but overused but overall I thought the storylines were done well. For some reason haven't seen the last one and really just felt no desire to. Not really sure why though.
@@thisisadebrown Hey, you got me thinking and I'd rather ask than look up since I might learn more but wasn't Bond a Commander in the Navy rather than Marines?
For some reason the Timothy Dalton films don't have the production value of the other Bond films, IMO. They feel like Bond knockoff films. However, British actress Maryam d'Abo (Kara) is lovely in "The Living Daylights". Her cousin is actress Olivia d'Abo. Timothy Dalton is also known form the film "Flash Gordon" (1980). You have seen him in "Hot Fuzz" of course.
24:32 "That's some bu**sh**!" Out of all the channels, without hyperbole, sincerely, that is the gold bar set and my favourite movie-reaction moment. - ❤
Lazenby could’ve/should’ve been the Bond of the 70s, IMO, and Dalton for the 80s. Roger Moore was just too much of a pacifist IRL, and it showed in his portrayal. He wasn’t believable as a cold-blooded killer to me, and his fight scenes were so laughable. However, his films did have great theme songs.
I think BECAUSE it's so despised, that I have a soft spot for On Her Majesty's Secret Service. They took some bold moves and changed the formula. It went over as well as "New Coke". Still, I admire their (momentary) show of courage in taking Bond in a new direction. I think if this movie was exactly the same but the protagonist was not James Bond® the movie would have been better thought of. Connery is a tough act to follow. Eventually audiences got used to Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and the other Bonds, but George Lazenby had the toughest job of all - being Connery's direct replacement. He and his only Bond movie deserved better. Just my contrarian opinion. 😏
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favorite classic Bond movie. Even if Lazenby isn't the best Bond. (though i still think he's excellent) It's certainly the most well-directed of the classic Bonds. With lots of modern filmmaking flourishes which disappear from the franchise for a stupidly long time afterwards.
Hello Jen!😊 They had a rocky relationship with George Lazenby. When he showed up at the premiere of the film looking not very Bond like in a mustache and beard it signaled to them he was not a team player. They felt he had no respect for the character post filming. He had a contract for 4 or 5 Bond films, but his agent convinced him the films were on there way out due to the feminist movement. Telly Savalas (Blofeld) is best known from the 70s TV crime drama "Kojak" in which he starred. Diana Rigg (Tracy) was best known from the 60s British TV espionage series "The Avengers". In her later years she guest starred on the fantasy drama TV series "Game of Thrones". Nice reactions to Lazenby's only performance as Bond, Jen!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Deep Six is a Naval term referring to 6 fathoms, the minimum depth for burial at sea. Eventually after World War II, the term became more widespread among the civilian population.
Timothy Dalton played Mae Wests 6th husband in her last film :"Sextette"1977... He was in his twenties..she was in her eighties.. bad picture ...Diana Rigg in the Lazenby picture played Emma Peel in TVs :"The Avengers"...
The atypical Bond movie...he marries the girl. Also IMHO Diana Rigg is the best 'Bond Girl' ever. I believe that this marriage is referenced in only one other Bond film, 'License to Kill'...where he also 'resigns' from MI6/Universal Exports...after a fashion. To answer one of your questions....The first film I saw Timothy Dalton is was the so bad it becomes an unintentional comedy 1980's Flash Gordon.
14:07 - THIRD BOND/AVENGERS GIRL - Joanna Lumley portrayed one of Blofeld’s Angels of Death. In the seventies she went on to portray the character Purdey, John Steed’s sidekick, in the reboot of popular sixties British spy drama, The Avengers.
The Lion in Winter 1968 PG 2h 14m Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, John Castle, Anthony Hopkins (in his first major film role), Jane Merrow, Timothy Dalton (in his film debut)
JENNYPENNY! :D Arguably Lazenby's film is the best Bond film & Dalton's brief stint truly showcased how brawny & brazen Bond is depicted in the novels - so yeah, that.
More Timothy Dalton? Well... it might not be his finest roll, but you will absolutely LOVE Flash Gordon (1980). If that doesn't' tempt you, Queen did the soundtrack... FLASH AAAHHHHH! btw I wager we are yet to get to your most 'golden' bond ;)
David Hedison played Capt.Lee Crane in the TV series 1964-1968 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.He also starred in the 1958 movie The Fly with Vincent Price.
By the way, in the scene where Benicio uses the knife to cut Dalton's wrist restraints on the conveyer, Benicio accidentally CUT OFF the tip of Dalton's finger in the process! Dalton had to go to the hospital to get it reattached. Benicio felt awful, but Dalton never made a big deal about it. They both agreed to use a real knife in the scene.
Luv watching the James Bond series! The Lazenby and Dalton Bonds aren't my first choices, However I do like to watch them anyways! I've always been a Connery, Moore and Brosnon 007 fan. Fun to watch Jen go a little fangirl crazy for Dalton's 007! 😅 You go girl! I'm still not into Craigs Bond yet but I'll watch those also. Just being honest! Thanks for sharing Jenny Penny!❤️💛🤵
I'm not going to rewatch all these reactions, but I came here to give a like and to say how much I enjoyed "Simp Jen" anytime Timothy Dalton was on the screen! 🥰😍🤓
Bond's rifle is a Walter WA2000 You can enjoy looking at Tim in other greats such as Flash Gordon, Hot Fuzz, The Doctor and the Devils and many more (Moore?). Deep 6 - 6 fathoms deep (36 feet) rumour has it that's the minimum depth for a sea burial to stop the body washing ashore.
Excellent Bond compilation! 🔫💜 For me, Timothy Dalton is the 2nd best Bond ever. Very unfortunate he only had two films. Daniel Craig being #1 Bond, for me.
As a huge fan of, and repeated reader of, the novels, OHMSS is the most-faithful to the source material; and I always found Lazenby (aside from the one-liners) the most like I personally pictured Bond when reading, while Dalton the most in character as the Bond of the novels. ... and Dame Diana Rigg!! 👀😍😍😍

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is underrated. The ending still gets me.
The cue from We Have All The Time In World was at the start of No Time To Die which was very interesting. Big hint there.

I'm not a huge fan of Living Daylights but Dalton is still my fave 😅
It must have been depressing knowing you were just the stunt cockl until Pierce got out of his ongoing contacts and obligations.
Second this! The way they pumped out Connery films every one to two years they could have squeezed two more in for Dalton.

"This girl" is Diana Rigg, famous for her similar role in The Avengers. British Icon she is. And many a young boy's crush.
What a great surprise this is. The Bond compilations are awesome and seeing Jen crushing hard on Timothy Dalton never gets old 😂.

Maybe if Dalton had better scripts he would have been better. 1: Sean Connery. 2: Piers Brosnan (except for his old age).
I LOVE that Miss Jenn loves Dalton's Bond. Always my favorite!

“That’s some bulls*it, I’m not even gonna dance to this theme song” you know you really pissed Jen off when she doesn’t wanna dance to the iconic theme 😂
That ending theme is such emotional whiplash. One of those cases where it might have been better to have no music at all, or at least subdued.

I’ve been really appreciating the theme song for The Living Daylights more since the movie came out.
Two of my favorite themes are the weird outliers done by 80's rock bands - Living Daylights by A-Ha and View To A Kill by Duran Duran
if you like Timothy Dalton try Flash Gordon and The Rocketeer for two fun performances. Also Yes Pushkin (John Rhys Davis) is Indiana Jones pal and is also Gimli the Dwarf in LOTR

John Rhys-Davies was in Raiders and you may recognize him by his voice,he played Gimli.
He also played King Richard the Lionheart in Robin of Sherwood the TV show (in 1 or 2 episodes)
Shogun 1980 too
And Professor Maximilian Arturo on Sliders
The Avengers (1960's A British spy tv show) is awesome, especially the Diana Rigg seasons.
Diana Rigg is The Queen of Thorns on GOT.
Apart from Bond I do love Dalton in Hot Fuzz and Penny Dreadful. PS. Yes, that is John Rhys Davies aka Sallah in Indiana-movies, or Gimli in LotR.

And obviously Flash Gordon. Obviously.
Just to add that film is from 1969 (I think)

He was doing the Craig thing, but unfortunately didn't have a screenplay quite as good as Casino Royale, but it's definitely full of globetrotting and exotic locales that we want from a Bond film. I think the biggest problem is that the villain isn't memorable. Also, people still had Roger Moore's Bond in mind and weren't ready for a more serious take on the character. If the Moore Bond films hadn't become so outrageous I think Dalton's films would have gotten a better reception; Bond had become too much of a joke in the mind of most people.
Ooh, cheeky Bond upload. Thank you Miss Money Jenny x
Miss Moneypenny is a classy lady, just like Jen!
Great collection, Jen!
Dalton is my favorite Bond.
His first movie was really good, and also the new idea of being monogamous (AIDS era) in Licence to Kill was interesting
I enjoyed it in the theater (my first) and never changed my idea. Dalton was a perfect Bond!
What do Living Daylights and Licence to Kill have in common? They're both rare Double-Nugget reactions from Jen!
Fitting you put Secret Service and License to Kill in the same video.
OHMSS was the first bond movie that my dad took me too. It's still fun to watch ... I miss you in your bow tie (Laugh). Loved Tim Dalton's movies too. License to Kill is my favorite of his. I imagen one of your patreons or commentors have informed you the love interest in OHMSS is the great Diana Rigg of Avengers fame and her last acting gig was Game of Thrones. One more thing the lair in OHMSS is now a big tourist attraction PIZ Gloria in Switzerland. Super Thanks as always Jen!
The theme song for The Living Daylights was performed by A-ha. They had many hits in the 80s. Loved this theme it's from their album Stay on These Roads.
Ooh, another surprise Bond collection. Very cool, Jen!
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the only Bond movie not in my DVD collection. I have never considered George Lazenby to be part real Bond in any way shape or form. I prefer Sean Connery's rogue Bond movie Never Say Never over George's outing as bond.
Licence to kill is my favorite Bond .But i can see why so many film makers are latching on to Her Majesty's Secret Service, where its very hard to evaluate.. But that movie is servicing so many things in all of Bond movie series.
Awsome Jen. You crack me up with the reactions. You do such a good fun job. Thank you. LOL. " Stacks and Stacks at the Lair". 😊
So is that first Villain the basis for Dr. Evil in the austen powers movies? 🤗🖖
Yes, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Dr Evil is an amalgamation of both Donald Pleasance and Telly Savalas as Blofield 👍
The "gun" in the Living Daylights is a Walther WA 2000 made in Germany. An extremely accurate rifle.. capable of making strawberry jam out of someone.
Bond's rifle in _The Living Daylights_ is a Walther (seems to favor this manufacturer for some random reason I'm sure Ian Fleming didn't understand 😄) WA 2000 sniper rifle. The design is somewhat unusual because it's of a "bullpup" configuration that allows for a relatively short rifle to have a full-length barrel. Basically, the grip and trigger are moved forward, while the rear of the rifle takes the place of the stock. Naturally, the magazine well (for the magazine or box of ammo) is moved to the rear behind the grip and trigger, the barrel is also moved to the rear. It looks a bit odd, but functions much like a regular rifle.
Dalton will always be the best Bond in my opinion. Connery comes second.
🏆 🙏❤
Is he gonna kill him? No, he will "sleigh" him.
Timothy Dalton, surely you remember him from Hot Fuzz - the supermarket manager.
He must be stopped! He's a slasher! 🤣🤣🤣
Daniel Craig bond acts a prequel in casino Royale. It also explains where Bond gets a lot of his money from and How he is so Rich.
Plus, watch to the end of this?
Casino Royale was a great movie but I had no idea it was a prequel because I had not seen the beginning until later on and read it was a prequel. It really didn't make sense though other than the intro scenes because on the boat with Vesper and she was talking to him about the burden of having killed so many men. That is a talk you have with someone who has been in the game for years and he was mentally drained and needed retirement. That made no sense for a brand new agent whose entry to 00 status was to make his first kill.
@@cchavezjr7 James Bond had served in the Marines and was in the SBS, which is when he went into MI6. he would’ve killed a good few men in the SBS alone let alone the Marines. They couldn’t make it period because that would’ve been too expensive so what they did was make a prequel in modern day Times.
@@thisisadebrown That makes sense. I still feel though that the boat scene really didn't fit with the "new" agent theme though. Throughout the series I also felt the M wanting him detained or arrested and then "trusting" him when he breaks free was a but overused but overall I thought the storylines were done well. For some reason haven't seen the last one and really just felt no desire to. Not really sure why though.
@@thisisadebrown Hey, you got me thinking and I'd rather ask than look up since I might learn more but wasn't Bond a Commander in the Navy rather than Marines?
Dalton and Christopher Reeves look similar, so I can see Jen having a crush on both.
In some of the future bonds it does come up that he was married.
Licence To Kill
For some reason the Timothy Dalton films don't have the production value of the other Bond films, IMO. They feel like Bond knockoff films. However, British actress Maryam d'Abo (Kara) is lovely in "The Living Daylights". Her cousin is actress Olivia d'Abo. Timothy Dalton is also known form the film "Flash Gordon" (1980). You have seen him in "Hot Fuzz" of course.
Really good genes in the D'abo family as Maryam and Olivia look a lot alike 😍
tiny machine gun is an "Uzi" possibly a "Mac 10/11" but i think its an Uzi 9mm
I love your "Wisdom Nuggets." ☺️
It's worth the whole movie just to hear Desmond Llewellyn say "ghetto blahstah."
👍👍👍
For me, Dalton is THE Bond. sad he only did two movies, but I'm glad so see so much love for his take on he role around here.
Suggest you watch The Rocketeer. Fun comics adaptation. And Dalton has a fun role. No spoilers!
The Rocketeer is on my channel!
My two favorite Bonds and my 3 favorite Bond movies all in one video. Add Jen to the mix and it's a pretty good way to start a Saturday. Thanks, Jen!
Watch Timothy Dalton in Flash Gordon (1980) and The Rocketeer (1991)
The rocketeer is already on Jen's channel 👍
Wow, those milk bombs turn me into milquetoast! 🤪 I'm totally cowed by that deadly milkman. 🙄
He's a blood curdling killer
Great movies made even better with Jen's delightful reactions!!! 🎉🎉🎉
24:32 "That's some bu**sh**!"
Out of all the channels, without hyperbole, sincerely, that is the gold bar set and my favourite movie-reaction moment.
- ❤
Your reaction is so funny. I couldn’t stop laughing. The whole safe thing just killed me.
Diana Rigg was fierce in Game of thrones
Lazenby could’ve/should’ve been the Bond of the 70s, IMO, and Dalton for the 80s. Roger Moore was just too much of a pacifist IRL, and it showed in his portrayal. He wasn’t believable as a cold-blooded killer to me, and his fight scenes were so laughable. However, his films did have great theme songs.
No argument there.
I still LOVE your reaction to Majesty's Secret Service!
Trust him! .... he's handsome 😅
Timothy Dalton my favourite, i think they treat all the bonds as one person one storyline.
Thanks! Dalton is def one of my favs :)
I think BECAUSE it's so despised, that I have a soft spot for On Her Majesty's Secret Service. They took some bold moves and changed the formula. It went over as well as "New Coke". Still, I admire their (momentary) show of courage in taking Bond in a new direction. I think if this movie was exactly the same but the protagonist was not James Bond® the movie would have been better thought of. Connery is a tough act to follow. Eventually audiences got used to Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and the other Bonds, but George Lazenby had the toughest job of all - being Connery's direct replacement. He and his only Bond movie deserved better. Just my contrarian opinion. 😏
Brosnan is the best bond to watch after smoking.😊
Timothy Dalton used to date Whoopi Goldberg...
Bond and Guinan. Love knows no boundaries.
Have you skipped these three movies until now? I thought you went through all of them in order.
I watched all of them in order on my channel. These are compilation videos
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favorite classic Bond movie. Even if Lazenby isn't the best Bond. (though i still think he's excellent)
It's certainly the most well-directed of the classic Bonds. With lots of modern filmmaking flourishes which disappear from the franchise for a stupidly long time afterwards.
Hello Jen!😊 They had a rocky relationship with George Lazenby. When he showed up at the premiere of the film looking not very Bond like in a mustache and beard it signaled to them he was not a team player. They felt he had no respect for the character post filming. He had a contract for 4 or 5 Bond films, but his agent convinced him the films were on there way out due to the feminist movement. Telly Savalas (Blofeld) is best known from the 70s TV crime drama "Kojak" in which he starred. Diana Rigg (Tracy) was best known from the 60s British TV espionage series "The Avengers". In her later years she guest starred on the fantasy drama TV series "Game of Thrones". Nice reactions to Lazenby's only performance as Bond, Jen!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John you too! :)
This is a nice triple bill.
Finally someone who loves Timothy Dalton's Bond. He was my favorite, even though he's considered by most to b the worst. I always thot TD was spot on.
Deep Six is a Naval term referring to 6 fathoms, the minimum depth for burial at sea. Eventually after World War II, the term became more widespread among the civilian population.
Timothy was the shit. I had a big crush on him.❤❤❤❤❤
Timothy Dalton was, and still is my dream man always and forever
Timothy Dalton played Mae Wests 6th husband in her last film :"Sextette"1977... He was in his twenties..she was in her eighties.. bad picture ...Diana Rigg in the Lazenby picture played Emma Peel in TVs :"The Avengers"...
Dalton is my all time favorite Bond.
The atypical Bond movie...he marries the girl. Also IMHO Diana Rigg is the best 'Bond Girl' ever. I believe that this marriage is referenced in only one other Bond film, 'License to Kill'...where he also 'resigns' from MI6/Universal Exports...after a fashion. To answer one of your questions....The first film I saw Timothy Dalton is was the so bad it becomes an unintentional comedy 1980's Flash Gordon.
14:07 - THIRD BOND/AVENGERS GIRL - Joanna Lumley portrayed one of Blofeld’s Angels of Death. In the seventies she went on to portray the character Purdey, John Steed’s sidekick, in the reboot of popular sixties British spy drama, The Avengers.
The Lion in Winter
1968
PG
2h 14m
Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, John Castle, Anthony Hopkins (in his first major film role), Jane Merrow, Timothy Dalton (in his film debut)
JENNYPENNY! :D Arguably Lazenby's film is the best Bond film & Dalton's brief stint truly showcased how brawny & brazen Bond is depicted in the novels - so yeah, that.
More Timothy Dalton? Well... it might not be his finest roll, but you will absolutely LOVE Flash Gordon (1980). If that doesn't' tempt you, Queen did the soundtrack... FLASH AAAHHHHH! btw I wager we are yet to get to your most 'golden' bond ;)
David Hedison played Capt.Lee Crane in the TV series 1964-1968 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.He also starred in the 1958 movie The Fly with Vincent Price.
How ironic that you would be reacting to two of my favorite Bond movies - "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "The Living Daylights".
By the way, in the scene where Benicio uses the knife to cut Dalton's wrist restraints on the conveyer, Benicio accidentally CUT OFF the tip of Dalton's finger in the process! Dalton had to go to the hospital to get it reattached. Benicio felt awful, but Dalton never made a big deal about it. They both agreed to use a real knife in the scene.
Luv watching the James Bond series! The Lazenby and Dalton Bonds aren't my first choices, However I do like to watch them anyways! I've always been a Connery, Moore and Brosnon 007 fan. Fun to watch Jen go a little fangirl crazy for Dalton's 007! 😅 You go girl! I'm still not into Craigs Bond yet but I'll watch those also. Just being honest! Thanks for sharing Jenny Penny!❤️💛🤵
I'm not going to rewatch all these reactions, but I came here to give a like and to say how much I enjoyed "Simp Jen" anytime Timothy Dalton was on the screen! 🥰😍🤓
Bond's rifle is a Walter WA2000
You can enjoy looking at Tim in other greats such as Flash Gordon, Hot Fuzz, The Doctor and the Devils and many more (Moore?).
Deep 6 - 6 fathoms deep (36 feet) rumour has it that's the minimum depth for a sea burial to stop the body washing ashore.
Excellent Bond compilation! 🔫💜
For me, Timothy Dalton is the 2nd best Bond ever. Very unfortunate he only had two films.
Daniel Craig being #1 Bond, for me.
As a huge fan of, and repeated reader of, the novels, OHMSS is the most-faithful to the source material; and I always found Lazenby (aside from the one-liners) the most like I personally pictured Bond when reading, while Dalton the most in character as the Bond of the novels.
... and Dame Diana Rigg!! 👀😍😍😍
