Reminds me of my neighbor, I think both of us go to university. I dunno, a little while ago he gave me the finger because I don't have blinds on the room window I am renting, too lazy to put it up. He always has parties at his place. Don't really care. This might be war! lol. I can win on the courtroom front too, methinks.
Timothy Dalton is all criminally movie. he had to deal with drug smuglers, and he even commited a crime himself kidnapping Jenny and try to outrun Cliff on his Airship.
Fairly unique Bond villain: whereas others have vast impressive lairs, he has this one large room to himself, but he has absolute control over all of it. And Bond is legitimately caught out of his element and at the mercy of an environment he did not anticipate. Shame it ends so quickly...
I think it's a shame that Brad didn't get more screentime. He should have played a role similiar to that of Midwinter in the Harry Palmer film Billion Dollar Brain.
True. He and later villain Fran Sanchez are the most realistic. They probably were based on actual people. I have no idea who Whitaker is based on but clearly Sanchez' character was inspired by Pablo Escobar. No wonder this movie and Licence to kill were the most realistic of the Bond films.
Thank you for uploading this scene. My favorite part in TLD. No CGI, no crash editing, no shaky cam, no over the top and unending explosion, no massive gun fights and over acted deaths. This scene shows Bond (together with his trustworthy Walther PPK) being a marksman (not a Jason Bourne/Matrix/Rambo/Terminator copycat) fights his way with pure class and sophistication. Such a classic scene that we will no longer see in the current Bond movies.
BackAgainize I agree they should have extended the whole sequence from the sneaky bond moment getting in to the finale between Bond and Whittaker.. maybe even Whittaker and bond struggling and Whittaker grabbing bond and shoving him into those war game glass cases
I would not have been surprised if a claymore was hidden under the entry door or if the US civil war gatling gun had live ammo for it. The way that old gatling gun worked was they loaded a drum and attached it to the top and let gravity feed the ammo. One soldier aimed it and the second soldier cranked the handle to fire it.
The Timothy Dalton movies do such a good job with their villains. They're real enough for us to easily understand their motives, but with just the right amount of convoluted scheming. Living Daylights: Arms dealers playing the USA and USSR against each other to do some profiteering License to Kill: Ruthless kingpin with unique methods of moving his product.
Carol Kewley that was the point he dressed the dummies as various war figures like Hitler, Napoleon only he put his face on them as he was a huge war history buff but was highly self righteous of himself but he was expelled from West Point for cheating and always had an obsession with war history.
All he really needed was more screen time and maybe another encounter or two with bond before this one. Koskovs role should've been the smaller of the two imo.
He comes across as an ex-general for hire. It's fitting that he talks about mercenaries when he's stalking Bond. Technically, Whitaker was a mercenary since he was willing to lend his army or smuggle arms for the highest bidder.
I watched this movie at a very young age this sequence was one of my favourites.. however I was 29 years old when I realized what Whittaker meant with the whole body armour thing, so that’s why it would be useless to have a fist fight and as we all saw useless for bond to shoot him. However I wish they extended a tad bit longer the getting into Whittaker’s house with the bond theme playing.
Whittaker was born 40 years too early. If he grew up now days he would have had a gaming PC and been able to wage virtual wars to his heart content. He would be elated gaming on his high end pc Master race rig playing strategy games. Gaming would have saved many lives that Whitikar took including his own.
Same people who Thought 4 year safter You Only Live Twice Charles Grey Would be the OG Villain Blofeld Same people who Thought 8 years after The man with the golden gun Maud Adams would be the main Bond girl
When Bond sneaks up behind Whitaker at the beginning he seems so unfazed he was there. If I was engrossed in something and someone did that I'd be like "WHAAAHAOOOOA! FUCKING HELL! DON'T DO THAT! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUTTA ME!"
How fitting: he died on top of a diorama of Natpoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. The defeat was so humiliating that it became slang: to be horribly defeated was "To meet one's Waterloo."
James Bond used Walther PPK! It had no effect. Brad Whitaker used assault rifle! It missed. Brad Whitaker used antique cannon! It missed. James Bond used wolf whistle! It was a critical hit!
+MartynJamieson9 He probably only picked it because it was the nearest weapon and all he had to do was cock it and open fire and it would give him time to get the assault rifle.
cool little atmospheric and mysterious shoot-out that has a similar cat n mouse element to "the man with the golden gun" this scene is better than anything in the Brosnan and Craig Bond movies
as mentioned earlier in the comment section, Whitaker is wearing body armor in addition to the bullet proof shield on the gun. Watch the first three shots Bond fires, the first two hit Whitaker on on the chest/stomach, then the third on the arm. Bond then proceeds to continuously shoot the shield, presumably in hope to potentially break it.
Whilst the Dalton Bond wasn't my favourite, he certainly brought a more realistic take on the character of 007 in getting the job done. He was rough around the edges and without the humour or foolhardiness of previous Bonds.
Dalton is far greater than Craig. He portrayed Bond with charm, class and sophistication but with a sense of realism. A true seasoned actor who doesn't need a chiseled body and Hollywood publicity to live with the character. Craig is nothing but a copycat of Bourne. No originality. His movies are all boring with dull plotline and overdramatic tone. Even the music department (particularly by Thomas Newman) cannot live with the standards set by Barry. Such a pity. Bond movies are escapist movies made to thrill and captivate our imagination and not a burden for the viewers. That's what I feel after watching Craig's four Bond movies.
Agree. Dalton wasn't given enough kudos for his role. There were layers to his Bond -- underlying savagery, professionalism, world-weariness -- that was just too much after Moore's one-liners.
Bit of a plot hole, not quite sure why Bond didn't just shoot him in the knee caps after the first 3 shots which he must have realised by then that he had a bulletproof glass shield protecting his head. Would have saved Bond a lot of trouble. Then again, this is a movie and common sense does have a habit of being non-existent in action movies.
+Yeth both (YethBothONE) Bond did try shooting at his body but he was wearing "the latest body armor". Shooting at the shield was just him taking a chance hoping it would shatter after a few shots so he could get one in the head.
Hehe, I saw this after I saw Goldeneye as a kid and was very confused by this guy like wait... I thought he was a good guy? Not only does the Bond series recast characters constantly, they have the same actors playing different characters. Awfully confusing to a 10 year old...
Henry Hammond it doesn’t a lot it happened with Walter Gotell who played the villain Morzey in From Russia With Love then went on to play KGB boss General Gogol in 4 of Roger Moore’s Bond films. Joe Don Baker of course as Whitaker in The Living Daylights went on to play the good guy CIA agent Jack Wade in GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. Charles Gray played Henderson, Bonds contact and friend in You Only Live Twice and went on to play Bond villain Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever. Maud Adams played Andrea Anders In The Man With The Golden Gun and later played Octopussy in the movie Octopussy. Other actors notably Richard Kiel as Jaws had recurring roles as same character.
@@scottknode898 Those are the big ones, but it also happened frequently with smaller roles. Actor Shane Rimmer played 3 characters (Radar operator in You Only Live Twice, Willard Whyte's assistant in Diamonds are Forever and Commander Carter in The Spy Who Loved Me.) Ed Bishop was a technician in YOLT and Klaus Hergersheimer in DAF. Burt Kwouk was Mr Ling in Goldfinger and Spectre 3 in YOLT. Anthony Chinn gets killed by Bond's cigarette gun in YOLT and 20 years later gets dropped off Zorin's blimp in A View to a Kill. EDIT: Another big one: Anthony Dawson (Professor Dent in Dr No) was also Blofeld in From Russia with Love and Thunderball (although his face was hidden).
I grew up with the old Sherlock Holmes series with Basil Rathbone, thus I wasn’t even phased by these recasts. Boy, did they use the same actors often.
Nothing unusual. The actor playing General Gogol in 6 James Bond movies played a Spectre hitman in From Russia with love. Charles Grey played Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever, and he had played a British contactman in Japan in You Only Live Twice. Maud Adams played a Bond lady in both The Man With the Golden Gun and Octopussy.
When dalton became Bond, my mom and I were so happy to get such a fine actor to play him. Good riddance to Ol’ Groping Uncle Roger and his Aqua Velva attitude.
i found this from imdb : "According to imdb,Lee Van Cleef was one of the candidates to play Brad Whitaker. Just imagine how cool it would have been,certainly a lot better than Joe Don Baker.." totally agree.even i really like joe don baker as brad whitaker, i strongly believe that lee van cleef would be even better
I can't really picture Van Cleef in the role of Brad Whitaker. Baker has more of a commanding presence and is a better fit for the role of an international arms-dealer who has delusions of grandeur and martial glory.
tpampouk Lee Van Cleef was more we’ll known in Westerns then in Action movies especially as the sadistic villain Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. unfortunately Van Cleef passed away in 1989 at age 64 of a massive heart attack.
You can tell that Brad Whitaker is very well academically disciplined, just by the way he talks and just that sarcastic attitude he has towards Bond!! Whitaker is a West Point 👨🎓 which pretty much explains it!
It's a Colt Commando M733 (same rifle family as AR-15/M-16) with custom ballistic shield. It doesn't really hold 80 rounds, it had a 30-round banana mag, Whitaker was just being a smart ass.
@@pittrollmosh7572 It's fictional armor, so there's no way to know what it's made of or how thin/ flexible it is. This is supposed to be some sort of protective suit. Also, concealable ballistic vests can be worn under a uniform and not be noticeable if it's well fitted.
General Longstreet (Berenger) explains in the 1993 movie Gettysburg why it was folly to launch Picketts charge at Little Roundtop: There were now 3 federal corps on the two rocky hills on the confederate right flank. If he would move all his people forward, they wouldn't have a flank at all, and the federals would simply swing around and crush them.
Whitaker was just a military-obsessed wannabe who thought he was a soldier. As Pushkin explained earlier in the movie, Whitaker was expelled out of West Point for cheating and subsequently became a mercenary. Brad Whitaker was delusional and only pretended he was the real deal. That would explain the incorrectly placed military pins
when whitaker said the thing about the body armor he meant that shield. according to what was supposed to happen, bond shot at the shield and deflected the bullet. But whatever was in that gun, it was fake (naturally), and Bond's bad aim made it go off target or something. Either way, the thing did hit his shoulder, but it was meant to hit the shield so the actors went with it... Unless he really WAS covered in bulletproof armor under his uniform. o_O whitaker is weird...
Just SCREAMS that old Southern woopass style, lol. I hope at some point before I die, I have a whisky, meal, and a good conversation in the good ol South. Yankee boy, maself, but this villian is cool, lol. I hope someone teaches me about life before I die from the good ol West/Saaaaaouth.
Bond, if the first shot doesn't work against the body armor, what do you think the rest are going to do? Oh, I see. You needed to use the wolf whistle function.
Great scene but I always thought it was unsatisfying that Koskov got to walk off (even though he was presumably killed off-screen). It would have been so much more satisfying to see his smarmy, two-faced character get crushed by a pillar.
I seriously doubt that. Koskov probably met his doom in the terrifying building known as the Lubyanka, where thousands were tortured to death by the KGB.
I love the 80's but sometimes when I go back on these old clips the other characters annoy me. I wish they would cut out the comm. Bond does with his allies, amd just show the scene where he approaches, enters, confronts the villian. All I want to hear is birds and crickets up to that point, lol. Oh yeah, and Whit's little battle scene, as Bond enters, lol
Reminds me of my neighbor, I think both of us go to university. I dunno, a little while ago he gave me the finger because I don't have blinds on the room window I am renting, too lazy to put it up. He always has parties at his place. Don't really care. This might be war! lol. I can win on the courtroom front too, methinks.
The Living Daylights is such a criminally underrated Bond film
You only say that because it's a "trend".
I don't know if it's underrated anymore. It's routinely put within the top ten best Bonds now.
@@johnaustin209 its not a bad film though
@@matrix91234 It isn't. But underrated? Not quite.

- that’s actually a really good point. Whitaker is quite realistic in that regard.
. . .and for once Bond really has to think on his feet. At each moment Bond is in danger of actually getting killed.
True. He and later villain Fran Sanchez are the most realistic. They probably were based on actual people. I have no idea who Whitaker is based on but clearly Sanchez' character was inspired by Pablo Escobar. No wonder this movie and Licence to kill were the most realistic of the Bond films.
Joe Don Baker is great as Whitaker. Baker is one of the very few actors to play both a Bond villain and a Bond ally in separate films.
+mrExcellent101 along with charles grey
Charles Grey and Walter Gotell. Gotell played a bad guy in From Russia with Love and later on was cast in several films as KGB head General Gogol.
Dan Castle Yup exactly.
Someone asked him in an interview how that was possible. His reply, "You have a real good agent" .
It was a shame we never saw more of Jack Wade than what we did. He never felt lie a clone of Felix, and was a great stand in for him.
Whittaker's chuckle after Bond's whistle always cracked me up lol
He was playing the analog version of Age of Empires.
😂😂😂
Wrong. He was playing North and South.
This is the Dalton Bond era's version of Scaramanga's fun house battle from The Man With The Golden Gun.

That look on Bond's face when the cannon's fuse gets lit just screams, "Oh SHIT!!!"
Dalton gets genuinely thrown off several times in the film. It's pretty unique and it makes him look very human.
lol
I like how Bond smugly corrects his war strategy, without once seeing what Whittaker’s actually doing 😆
This scene ended WAY too quickly. I would have liked to see if Whitaker had some other nasty little traps for Bond in this buidling. War room, really.

this is a good one, Whitaker clearly underestimated, not Bond's gun, but his intelligence.
"You've had your 8 now have my 80!"
Self aware Bond film references inconic "you've had your six" line from Dr. No
Yea, I think a couple other movies in the franchise have had a callback to that line.
Well this film was released during the 25th anniversary of Dr No.
I have always wondered why Bond spends all his bullets to Whitaker's bullet proof polymer shield instead of shooting his torso. 🙄
Riutanharju, listen to Whitaker. He says he’s wearing body armor.

General Georgi Nikolai Dragunov actually Bond said to Dent “That’s a Smith and Wesson, you have had your 6”
It was the closest weapon. As you noticed he switched weapons pretty quickly.
Nah, if only Whitaker had a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-watt range when he took on Bond.

It hilarious 😂
cool little atmospheric and mysterious shoot-out that has a similar cat n mouse element to "the man with the golden gun"

One of the best scenes with Bond and his trusty PPK. Every one of those shots was a headshot. They were blocked by the screen of that gun, obviously.
You burned up a half a billion bucks? Lol
Nope. Actually he scattered it over the mountains of Afghanistan.
Up in smoke lol.

Of all the actors who played Bond, Dalton was the only classically trained one, who read soliloquys from Shakespeare, Checkov and the like.
@GalaxyTrigger82
Yeah, and Tomorrow Never Dies. Same actor.
Whitaker indeed met his Waterloo.
Lol good knowledge by Brad on the battle of Waterloo.
Is Brad Whitaker played by the same actor as Jack Wade?
Yes (Joe Don Baker). Bond movies, especially the pre-Craig ones, constantly reused actors.
when whitaker said the thing about the body armor he meant that shield. according to what was supposed to happen, bond shot at the shield and deflected the bullet. But whatever was in that gun, it was fake (naturally), and Bond's bad aim made it go off target or something. Either way, the thing did hit his shoulder, but it was meant to hit the shield so the actors went with it... Unless he really WAS covered in bulletproof armor under his uniform. o_O whitaker is weird...
Yeah you look later and see there are 5 shots that his the glass, must be one hell of armor he has underneath his cloths. 😳
The best Bond-film ever all in a nutschell
Timothy Dalton: "Up in smoke" LOL
You've had your 80....now have 80 ton uranium, haha! (explosions)
Just SCREAMS that old Southern woopass style, lol. I hope at some point before I die, I have a whisky, meal, and a good conversation in the good ol South. Yankee boy, maself, but this villian is cool, lol. I hope someone teaches me about life before I die from the good ol West/Saaaaaouth.
Didn't Baker play Felix Leiter at some point? I don't recall.
Nope. Jack Wade was the name of his character in Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies.
No. He played Felix's obnoxious American tourist stereotype replacement.
That's another way reason you shouldn't cry wolf.
3:13 Then prepare to meet your Waterloo, you nutjob!
Bond, if the first shot doesn't work against the body armor, what do you think the rest are going to do?
Oh, I see. You needed to use the wolf whistle function.
but, in a way, the bad guy also DOES respect Bond. 007's intelligence, the villian knows he could NEVER posess.
This guy was totally Jack Wade in GoldenEye.
Joe Don Baker came back in Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies to play Jack Wade after he played the villain Whitaker in The Living Daylights
Give him a hell of a formula Bond!
Whitaker: Hee hee, sorry to say your pop guns no match for the latest Body armor, now you have your 8, have my 80!
Except Bond always preffers brains over brawns.
Perhaps one of Q gadget keychain to use explosive charge to eliminate Brad Whitaker.
Great scene but I always thought it was unsatisfying that Koskov got to walk off (even though he was presumably killed off-screen). It would have been so much more satisfying to see his smarmy, two-faced character get crushed by a pillar.
Nah, Mother Russia would execute him via a firing squad and have it broadcasted
I seriously doubt that. Koskov probably met his doom in the terrifying building known as the Lubyanka, where thousands were tortured to death by the KGB.
I love the 80's but sometimes when I go back on these old clips the other characters annoy me. I wish they would cut out the comm. Bond does with his allies, amd just show the scene where he approaches, enters, confronts the villian. All I want to hear is birds and crickets up to that point, lol. Oh yeah, and Whit's little battle scene, as Bond enters, lol
