  • Book your flights to Isthmus City and head on a rip-roaring rampage of revenge with rogue Smersh Pod agents John Rain and Empire's Chris Hewitt, as they roll up their sleeves and rummage through the drawer of pulsating rubber pasta-maggots that is "Licence To Kill".

    Timothy Dalton is not just a great Bond, he's a great actor. Leading man, hard arsed villain, or provincial cult leader in a comedy, he can do it all.

      heck from what most novel purists say, he was the closest to Fleming's description out of all the actors.

    1989 was a high point for video censorship in the UK. Bond was seen as a child's movie by then so they were extra cuntish about anything that might prompt the tabloids to go BAN THIS BOND FILTH. A shame Tim never got the chance to take Bond back to his novel roots as a character intended for adult audiences. If I recall correctly, Princess Diana got a certain amount of shade for taking Harry & William to see a Bond movie, but I don't think it was Licence To Kill.

      @@JG-tr8ph I generally prefer practical effects as well. In my opinion, CGI should only be used as a supporting effect, not used in every frame of every scene in the movie. I like to use “Forrest Gump” as an example of excellent usage of CGI. You don’t even realize it’s being used. Unfortunately, filmmakers today, like Michael Bay or J.J. Abrams, believe an entire movie should resemble a PlayStation cutscene.

      @@KPX-nl4nt For a great example of CGI used this way in a movie you wouldn't expect - the Criterion commentary on Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" says that there is CGI in close to half the shots in the movie. The family's backyard, the street outside their house, the streets outside the car in the driving scenes, etc., are heavily or entirely digital. And it's totally unnnoticeable. That really made me realize what a boon unobtrusive CGI can be for filmmakers who don't have a huge budget, allowing them to make locations look more lavish for less money. Bong also mentions it was great for the actors in the driving scenes - they could concentrate on their performances without the noise and bother of shooting in the street in a car being dragged along by a tow truck.

    Maybe not a traditional Bond film - as it really strays outside of the formula, it is however a very accomplished action thriller film. Dalton gives his best performance as Bond, and really seems more comfortable in the role in this film compared to "The Living Daylights". Great action sequences as well : the waterski escape and truck chase.

    Sorry, the most random thing ever, but Ford Motor Company had holdings in Aston Martin for ever so long, and whenever Bond goes to America prior to Brosnan, there would just be Fords, Lincolns and Mercurys front, right and center - FoMoCo sold Aston in 2007. Turns out corporate ownership had little to do with it - in Goldfinger the producers asked Ford for a Lincoln Continental and said they were going to crush it onscreen; Ford said fine, but we like you to feature our cars in exchange for doing so. Can't help but wonder if this chance occurrence didn't lead to Ford outright buying Aston in 1991...
