THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS | Opening Scene
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- A training scene goes wrong in the pre-credits sequence for THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (1987). Timothy Dalton was keen to do as many of his own stunts as possible. Stunt supervisor Paul Weston said: “I knew Timothy was strong enough to do the stunts, but it’s still a 1,300-foot drop down the side of the mountain if anything went wrong. It took great courage.”
Christopher Nolan has made no secret that he’s a big fan of the Bond movies. You can definitely see the influence in his movies. Nolan has also said Timothy Dalton was his favorite Bond actor. Bond’s escape here is similar to Batman’s escape from the train in Batman Begins. The opening scene in The Dark Knight Rises is similar to the opening from License to Kill.
I was also thinking of the “I won’t kill you…but I don’t have to save you” scene from BB.
I saw tenet a few weeks ago. Nolan had a great influence on Dalton's first bond film.
@@Chagaanvideos40 very good lol
@@Chagaanvideos40 which scene by the way?
@@wibisanasalam the last one when they are going to the war in the past I think so
Great to see dalton finally getting the love he deserves.
Bond straight out of the books ahead of his time
Having read some of the novels, he was the Bond described in them. 100%!
Dalton best Bond actor.
People said he played it too seriously but the set up was his fellow agents being murdered in cold blood. It seems at least reasonable he might have acted this way. As outlandish as it seems.
He was born in Towyn in North Wales. Done well.
He has that dangerous gaze and stoic demeanor, Bond, James Bond.
He says "Bond, James Bond" fast, like he doesn't care. Just like any other day. So cool, gritty, perfect.
thats what you do when you just gotta get something done i guess lol
For him, it was Tuesday.
His voice is a whole other world man
Hell of a opening too.
😮
Totally underrated Bond. He brought a darker side to the character and was brilliant. My all time favourite Bond movie.
Dalton also did most of his own stunts. He insisted on it, as he felt it would add to the realism.
Dalton was my favorite Bond.
Every Bond had their part to play, I never slate any of them.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@davyboy232 What's so funny?
Slick move by Bond to kick out the windshield of the jeep to create that draft of air before opening his chute. Gotta love little touches like that.
To me, Timothy Dalton's Bond was a precursor to Daniel Craig's Bond; right out of the Fleming ORIGINAL novels. Too bad Dalton wasn't given more Bond roles.
It was definitely on track to happen but legal issues got the studio tied up for 5 years and Dalton moved on.
I get that to. Like he could be perfectly charming but could throw the switch to kill in an instant.
He was supposed to be in a third Bond film, but given the length it took to make another Bond film, he opted out of his contract.
@@EchoBoomer1987 Yeah.He wasn't´t getting any younger.
He was given more Bond roles. He didn't take them.
Having recently binge-watched all the Bond films (3 a day if anyone is asking), I think Dalton was criminally underrated and should’ve done at least two more Bond films if it weren’t for all the legal issues that occurred in the early 90’s. After the camp excess of the Roger Moore era, Dalton was a breath of fresh air and had that right blend of ruthlessness and grittiness that Daniel Craig would revive 2 decades later.
Had it not been for said legal issues, Dalton would have done Property of a Lady/Whisper of Terror and then signed off with GoldenEye. What could of been, eh?
Glad I'm not the only who feels he was underrated
what about if Dalton was 007 on For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View to a Kill? I think those films would been more seriously especially the last two with a grain of raw action
***have, not of. Would've, could've, should've.... Here endeth today's lesson.
@@AndrewAMartin Okay, grammar sheriff. Edited for accuracy, since your comment made you sound like a colossal dick.
@@AndrewAMartin 🍷😆
Dalton is very like the 007 from the books. Rereading 'A View To A Kill' (short story), especially brought Tim Dalton's Bond to mind.
Imagine Dalton in A View to a Kill instead of Roger Moore.
@Randy White Indeed.
I think the reason a lot of people said Timothy Dalton's Bond was too uptight was because they were a little too used to Roger Moore's campy style. Dalton's Bond had a more believable personality.
@Prashant Hinge furthermore, I would even venture as far as to say that Timothy Dalton's Bond was Daniel Craig's Bond before Daniel Craig.
B'coz most of the people that time cannot afford to read book
Bingo! You are right
@@SimonFerocius Uh, I was alive then. Books were everywhere! It's more like people are lazy and can't be bothered to turn off the tv.
Brilliant start to a great film. It’s just wall to wall awesomeness! This fast, inventive and thrilling chase to kick things off with, then the assassin at the concert hall and the Harrier escape in Berlin, then the KGB mansion attack with an amazing fight in the kitchen, the Aston Martin evading the Russians in the snow, the mujahideen pitched battle in Afghanistan and the UNBELIEVABLE stunts and fight in the Hercules... it’s just cracking, cracking Bond from start to end!
The fight in the kitchen doesn't get enough love! Great scene.
+1. I re-watched this movie a few months ago after about 20 years and was utterly stunned at how damn _good_ it is. I remember thinking it to be a solid, if unremarkable, Bond film at the time it came out but my opinion has since changed drastically.
The story is grounded in the reality of U.S. - Soviet Cold War brinkmanship, not some ridiculous scheme for world domination. The Bond girl is gorgeous but sweetly vulnerable, which makes the attraction between her and Bond more believable and intimate. The enemy enforcer is a baddass and the kitchen fight scene is outstanding (even if it doesn't even involve Bond at all). The villain music cue in the film's soundtrack is memorable and ominous. And the final fight with Bond hanging out the back of the Hercules is simply spectacular.
I'd put this film in the top five of all Bond movies.
@@VenlyssPnorr yes and I love it wasnt bond fighting
Top theme tune too :)
Totally agree Sir!
The score here is amazing, amongst the best in the entire series.
This was John Barry's FINAL James Bond film. I'm not surprised he went all in.
Also one of the best theme songs in Bond movies.
Barry was a genius.
The music in this scene is pretty bad... no drive, completely pedestrian. About as exciting as tapioca.
One of the best vrrsion of the James Bond theme, IMO.
Crazy as hell scene from the movie The living daylights for 1987 in this scene in the movie Timothy Dalton actually did some of his own stunts believe it or not.. he talked about it in an interview
After watching TLD for the third time this week, I can honestly say this may be my favorite Bond film. I always enjoyed Dalton as Bond, I wish they were still able to get on with his third movie as originally planned.
Updated: Fourth time this week.
I like this one as well. Except he aids Al Qaeda.
speedwack the mujahideen later became the taliban.
It’s one of my favourites.
Sorry Taliban is what I meant
@@speedwack Best Bond then
Timothy Dalton is so underrated. His charisma!!!
Charisma? Complete lack thereof.
@@JeffreyOConnell-g4x He has his own charisma.
1:45 hilarious how James saves the family by grabbing the steering wheel, this was a good demonstration of how in control he was of the situation lol
And showed to me that he does not want to hurt others that are just innocence, and that shows me that under all of that is a true man that cares
He is my favourite Bond. Classy, handsome, cold-blooded.
Bronson and dalton were two of my favorite bonds. Both were perfect for the role.
3:17 "I'll report in an hour."
3:23 "I'll report tomorrow."
You mean I’ll report in 3 minutes kaka😜
If that's what I meant, that's what I would've written.
"I'll be paying child support for the next 18 years."
Dalton is simply the real Bond from Fleming's books
Yep. Right. No question.
In this one he was excellent
Pity he didn't make more. He was my favourite Bond.
Massively underrated, kept the public school educated charm of the books, martinis and tuxedos while opening the door for the ruthless streak of Daniel Craig. His first scene in living daylights when he transformed from opera lover in tuxedo to camouflaged sniper was excellent.
@@stephenle-surf9893 or in license to kill, when Sanchez killed Krest he felt sorry for MK. As the book said. "He hates to kill, but when he has in duty he makes his job like a surgeon in front of the death"
2:51 BORING ????
Didn't you Just Saw that man Parachute out of a flaming Land Rover that Was driven off a cliff and exploded on impact?
Good god How exciting must the 80s have been that an event like that was considered boring .
She didn’t see any of that. She’s taking totally by surprise when he lands on the roof.
Have you seen 80's shoulder pads? Turning could take someones eye out
They tried to do a Raiders Of The Lost Ark style truck chase but fkd it.The "fight scene" between him and the driver was amature and not believable
they had it too good lol.
Dallas Dan Digital Productions No, that’s not what they tried to do at all. The Raiders chase is a far bigger piece of that film and much more is going on with the plot as a result of it. This is just an appetiser to what follows, it just sets the scene for “smert spionem” and you could still have everything that comes after without this scene, it’s just that it’s a great introduction to the new bond which I think they did really, really well.
I remember not being a huge fan of Dalton as Bond back when his two films were released... But both this and License To Kill are the Bond-films I have rewatched the most out of all the films in the series.
Sir John Barry score is a masterpiece. RIP
His last Bond film
Never realized before: at 1:51 a bloke in white tennis gear jumps over the side of the cliff to avoid the car.
Kinda defeats the point of saving yourself if you jump over a cliff.
The way he almost f*cking takes off into outer space I don't think he jumped.... lol
Rip
Don’t worry, the ground broke his fall...
Ha, good catch! Quite a barrel roll! I was too busy connection fake dots, thinking those two girls in the car were the same karate masters from TMWTGG and distracted by 7UP placement & “fruitcart” crashes like Moonraker.
Looked kinda like he got hit, and thrown off to me... I'm gonna have another few looks.
I absolutely love this movie from start to finish, the great thing about this film is that it's got plenty of action scenes in it & the music fits in remarkably well too & to my personal opinion Dalton played a really good bond character with razor sharp instincts, The Living Daylights has been & always will be the best bond movie I've ever seen, An Excellent Bond Movie 😁😁😆😆😊😊😎🍸🍷🍹🍾🔫👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I agree
Agreed
Girl on the boat sounded like she was straight out of an 80s Porn..
Hell yeah and now she has TWO hours with Bond. JAMES bond.
Typical hot bimbo . no one would just hand a stranger that jumped their boat a glass of Dom Perignon after that. And where did the dam truck go? The editing made it look like truck landed on the boat below him.Just poorly done
One of the very best opening sequences to a James Bond film.
Timothy Dalton WAS Ian Flemings James Bond.
Such an 80s film. Love it. Dalton brought back the physical Bond of the novels and moved away from the Moore playboy image to a more darker version. Craig's Bond could not exist had Dalton not set the tone for him. Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond in his own right. Cooler than them all but not as intimidating as Dalton, Craig and Connery. Still, as an old-timer who grew up on Connery and Moore, I have to say the Danial Craig version restored life to the series by synthesizing the best of all of them while still being entirely unique.
I’ve seen the dalton films as I was older, and I really appreciated his intensity and humanity. never overplayed, very realistic and grounded.
I had already seen the Connery ones when younger - that’s… legend -, some of the Moore ones around the same time and 20ish years go the only lazenby film which is one of my favorite - very very underrated, I consider it the topmost point of bond after Connery, after that it really went downhill, though I appreciate they went another direction with Moore, which is my least favorite but I still appreciate it. Craig is Craig, despite they did something you just don’t do with bond: bond never dies, you just don’t do it. Brosnan was the first one I saw in cinemas and I liked him, he was spot on in his own way. Interestingly I later found out he was supposed to take the role instead of dalton but had to pass bacause of other commitments. So we got dalton instead. I agree it’s unfortunate he only got to do 2 films.
Even though Timothy Dalton did two Bond movies he was great he finally got the recognition that he deserved
He was damn good Dalton. The best and most believable actor to play Bond while losing none of the humour. Shame he didn’t do Goldeneye. He’d have been excellent.
He was asked to but said no when told he would also do the 3 additional Bond films
@@missyadams That was a smokescreen. MGM wanted him out and that was the cover story to avoid a negative story about a firing in the press.
@@missyadams When i was younger I wasn't too keen on Dalton now i'm older and wiser I think he's better than Daniel Craig in fact both his films I think are top tier
Why is it a shame? Brosnan did Goldeneye and he's even better
Are you drunk?
Handsome, charming, classy, what Bond meant to be, did his own stunts and is dedicated. I LOVE TIMOTHY DALTON~!
“Bond, James Bond.” So effortless. 👌🏽
Perfect intro to Dalton’s Bond. Folks just weren’t ready for it- they had over a decade of Moore’s campy playboy version. Here we got Bond the commando, a cold blooded killer who professionally executes the mission no matter the cost.
Wish Timothy Dalton era of bond started with a view to a kill.
I wish it started with For Your Eyes Only
Think he would've been good in a view to a kill. Zorin was sadistic, would've been a good fit to push the boundaries with a more serious Bond.
1qwertay Ditto - For Your Eyes Only would of been a good start for Dalton.
That wouldn't have worked. A View To a Kill is darker than most Moore flicks but it was still tailor made for him.
It likely would've needed a massive rewrite beforehand.
God how i loved this Bond. Timothy Dalton finally more getting credit 30 years later
80s celphones were damn huge. Even during the early 90s phones were still as big as these.
My first one, bought in 1996, was only a little bit smaller.
That isn't a cell phone, it's the handset portion of a cordless phone, normal landline (well, ship to shore phone system, in this case)
He was the blue print to Craig to follow. Great Bond.
Jason Bourne was the blueprint for Craig. Craig didn’t match up though.
Timothy Dalton was so cool
We just saw Bond take on a killer who was driving recklessly down a mountain in a vehicle with a burning cargo of explosives. Not only did Bond take care of it but got a date with a hot girl in the end.
Not that hot, hair looks like a man cut.
@@stevearmstrong5324 I remember it as being rather fashionable in the mid-1980s.
Or the burning wreckage of a truck could have landed on the horny lady and her yacht.
@@stevearmstrong5324 In the David Lodge novel 'Nice Work', published around this time, the main female character has a similar haircut, and the main male character's daughter wonders if she is a 'lesbian'. In the TV version Haydn Gwynne had a longer hairdo.
The "girl" is one of his older conquests - she is easily over 30. A teenager, even a wealthy one, probably would not be hanging out alone on a small pleasure boat like that.
2:52 this is Ian Flemings Bond... !
Damn right!
Zefanja codee: Yeah. I think you're absolutely right.
Actually that's a random gal...
Dalton is what Bond (or agent similar to him) would look in real life.
Hah-Hah-Hah, shut-up Langley...
Ian Fleming described Bond as looking similar to Hoagy Carmichael.
Desmond Llewelyn aka Q said Dalton was the best and nearest to Flemings Bond but unfortunately his two films weren't great 😕
I love how fast the real guard at the gate was able to assess the sitution. The assassin runs over a soldier and drives through the gate. Next thing the guard is out with a submachine gun and scores direct hits.
No real person would stand in front of a moving truck and allow it to smash them
@@dallasdandigitalproduction393 But this wasn't a normal circumstance. The soldier was in the middle of a combat simulation.
Dallas Dan Digital Productions do you have anything positive to say?
We get it. You don’t like the movie.
Oh, yeah. By the way - IT’S ONLY A MOVIE!
He should get a medal
I seriously wish timothy dalton had made more james bond films. at least two more. it's sad that he wasn't able to. He makes a very realistic bond grounded in the real world.
Timothy Dalton was more of a James Bond then Daniel Craig was!
Dalton was a brilliant bond
Calm and reasoned, I always it was an excellent decision to make him a sniper, and then make him refuse to make the shot. To hell with orders I only kill professionals. Class.
And true to the part since he turned down the role when he was younger, admitting he didn’t think he was mature enough to play Bond
Jonathan Nagel Dalton admitted he wanted to wait for the right moment. In my humble opinion, he should of been Bond in For Your Eyes Only. It’s stripped back and realistic approach would of suited him.
He's always been my favorite.
Wish he could have been in more but grateful for what he delivered in his two outings. Excellent portrayal of Mr Bond.
This scene is excellent with so many interesting things going on. It's like Raiders of the Lost Ark quality.
1. Good guys firing paintballs while the bad guy is killing them. No fair!
2. Scenic view/drops at every turn.
3. Bond hanging onto a canvas top clawing his way in. Bad guy shooting through top back at him.
4. Winding road of oncoming traffic and barriers.
5. Ticking time bomb of explosives on fire.
6. Monkeys
7. Bond escaping out the back in parachute.
8. Bad guy screaming in terror then blowing up in mid-air.
9. Bond of course landing on a boat with an attractive woman and immediately seducing her.
Tim Dalton was excellent as 007 and this is one of best 007 films ever done
3:13 “Bond, James Bond”.
Always been one of my favourite films. Dalton was excellent as Bond and was a much better representation of the character than Moore.
I liked both but they were different bonds I couldn't see Dalton do the campy witty bond like Moore does and no way Moore could do brutal harsh bond like Dalton does
@@SeizureGman Moore was a bit brutal in LALD, MWTGG & FYEO, more so in the last one even though he didn’t enjoy doing it( kicks car and falls off the cliff).
@@johnchurch4705 True you are correct but besides LALD the others felt inconsistent with his character.
@@SeizureGman I agree. The first two movies, they tried to make Roger like Sean. It wasn’t until TSWLM that they got the formula right for Roger. Roger does say in his biography he wasn’t happy about the scene in FYEO as that wasn’t the sort of thing his Bond would have done.
Remember Daniel Craig incarnation of dark, gritty and serious of James Bond today? It was influenced from Timothy Dalton incarnation.
The best part is the stunts. No editing, no shaky cam with lots of cuts. It‘s actually a dude sitting on the roof of a burning car thats doing dangerous swerves whilst driving on a tiny road right next to a steep and very high cliff. Very few movies do that nowadays due to the progress in editing software. Respect where respect is due.
Under appreciated Bond he set the trend for the hard edge approach
God Almighty, I miss the 80s Forever 😢
@@merarigomez6835 I wish Time ⏲️ Travel was possible to avert things from happening in the first place 😢
DALTON WAS THE BEST BOND !!!!!!!
Loved Dalton as bond. Dalton brought edge and violence back to the role.
Dalton always prepares for his role. You should see him as Rochester in Jane Eyre and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights
Dalton looked the role. My best Actor for Bond
3:16 The "Good manners are for suckers" attitude always pays for Double O Seven!
He is more masterful than ill-mannered, I would have thought. Bad manners would have been more like "Give me the phone, bitch."
" Better Make That 2 "
After Sean Connery who is the absolute Bond I believe Timothy Dalton is the second best
Dalton was an incredible Bond
3:12 " _Who are you?_ "
" _Bond, James Bond._ "
Way to go, super spy.
Watching this in Lock down here in the UK . Better make that Two.
Stay safe everyone
Over the years I had also found it so convenient to spot a superyacht right below my feet whenever I realize my chute is on fire.
"Hold on, YOU'RE DEHD!
Loved him as James Bond, but I always thought Timothy Dalton would have made a superb Sherlock Holmes as well.
Without a doubt the best opening title sequence in the entire series.
Absolutely! It is incredible!
3:16 I'd be like "Better make that an hour and five minutes"
A whole hour 😄
Dalton was a great 007.
I'm pretty sure the family they almost smashed into was driving in a Lotus Esprit, the same car Roger Moore's Bond drove in The Spy Who Loved Me.
Love me some Dalton. He’s so great.
One of the best Bond opening themes ever..and to the end..always a woman.
3:03 Can you imagine how difficult is to do that turn he did with his hands inverted? (No stunts here)
The man did all his own stunts it's crazy. He was a physical machine. Makes him even more perfect to play James Bond.
Timothy Dalton was a superv Bond than George Lazenby.he should deserved 4 more Bond films with GoldenEye(1995)and also deserved prestigious Oscar Awards for his most notable performances in The Living Daylights(1987)and Licence To Kill(1989).Love you so much 007 Dalton❤❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite bond movie. This felt like a killing machine that was a normal dude off the clock.
Dalton was ahead of his time and heavily underrated. Great films.
Loved how he was fast enough to chase after and catch the speeding car
Obviously that's impossible but he was running downhill.
Great opening. Defeats bad guys, then miraculously lands in the company of a beautiful woman who just happens to be single and bored.
Quintessential bond.
Did you expect anything else? The nobel prize in chemistry perhaps?
Idk I kinda think it would've been a bit nicer if he didn't straight up agree to do a woman on a yacht after his colleague just got brutally murdered by an intruder.
But yeah other than that, 10/10 Pre Title Sequence.
But it would've been a bit cooler, I think, if they would've kept the whole Bratislava sequence as the PTS with the Title Sequence coming after Bond says "whoever she was I must've scared The Living Daylights out of her". And still somehow managed to fit this scene somewhere.
Tim Dalton was a proper Bond, but after his 2 outings the franchise slowly but surely declined. As I’ve said before bond died 2020 with Sean.
He would have hart atack after seen wokee No time do die or should be No time to defend woke country
Hahaha it's the way he just lays down on the bed / sofa and makes that call ... love it
They should bring Dalton back as a villain in the next one.
One of the best opening scenes in James Bond' s opening scenes
'
The best Bond ever.
Most underrated Bond. He had the opposite problem from Lazenby, where Dalton's movies were only "ok" but he as Bond is just as brilliant as anyone else they've cast!
Dalton on the back of the vehicle, the headbutt delivered to the assassin (this would have been a judo chop under Moore/Brosnan) and the way he flips down from the roof of the boat adds to the believability of Daltons bond being tough and ruthless.
One of the best bond opening scene. Love from Pakistan. 👍👍❤❤❤
Almost as good as the start for OHMSS. Gotta give that one the top spot for a Bond debut because of the outstanding Breaking the Fourth Wall line, "This never happened to the other fellow." But still, love this opening, this movie and this Bond.
The Guy driving the land Rover in this is a guy called Peter Davies who was Film 🎥 Editor on The living Daylights
Tim Dalton did a lot of his own stunts work
I loved Timothy Dalton as Bond. Too bad he didn't star in more movies.
I got the Dalton / Craig comparisons when Casino Royale came out, but Craig's 007 has been diminished by subsequent films IMHO. Dalton still rules.
I wanted to like Craig but he seems so unhappy and joyless as Bond. There was always that risk of danger, and that desire to be James Bond despite it all, because even though he's tortured, he gets the babes, does the killing, saves the day. Now it's Vespa, moping, more moping. The Istanbul chase in Skyfall and the Free Running chase in Casino Royale are legendary, but beyond this he's very tedious.
Yeah I agree Craig is always bloody miserable. Dalton plays it like it's dangerous business, but still has fun without feeling guilty about it. That's why I was hoping Spectre was Craig's last, and why I'm not excited about No Time To Die but to each their own.
Always and forever my favourite Bond. He's up there with Sir Sean Connery because they both understood the character; Bond is a cold-blooded reptile with a sense of honour.
Most underrated bond ever and my second favorite next to Sir Moore of course.
Dalton is a way better bond than moore. Licence to kill was an awesome film
Love the Living Daylights, it’s my favourite 👍🇦🇺
Timothy has presented Bond with flesh n blood.... I love his performance! C.Y. from Hong Kong
0:06 The background song in this part is like a welcome message from John Barry. Welcome to the new era of James Bond
Best opening scene of all the James bond movies - The Living Daylights with Timothy Dalton - my number one James bond movie - pure perfection in every way possible ! Subscribed right away.
One of the few times I was right from the start - I remember that I enjoyed Dalton being Bond in the cinema as a kid.
It’s an unfortunate thing that Dalton didn’t get the opportunity to play the role a couple more times, at least.
His portrayal was great and his physicality was in keeping with the action films of that era.
Would have liked to have seen Moore have finished with Octopussy and had Dalton take View to a Kill and at least one more after License to Kill.
I wouldn’t want to subtract anything from Brosnen’s slate of films. I think that era is fine.
I taught Roger Moore give a excellent performance in A View to a Kill.
It was the time of action movies getting the top box office, producers wanted to raise the adrenaline in these movies to get a share of the new trend (action movies).
BEST BOND ACTOR EVER!!!
He was just like Ian Fleming described him
Big facts!
Craig
@@ThomasMacdonald933 Dalton is James Bond, Craig is Jason Bourne.
Matt K Hear! Hear! You can see the class in Dalton’s Bond. There is none in Craig’s.
PB and TD are my favorite Bonds, and this score is so hard bro 🔫🎶🔥💯
Too (two) few with Timothy Dalton as James Bond. As the end credits roll Chrissie Hynde sings us out with "If There Was a Man" and that subtle touch puts The Living Daylights right at the top of the Bond pantheon.for me. This film made me appreciate Timothy Dalton even more over the past thirty-three years.
