Licence To Kill

Drugs? Really? I guess every movie or TV show was about or on drugs in the Eighties.

Welcome back David Hedison as Felix Leiter. The bad news is that you're getting married.

Sanchez is a bad man. He'll whip you. Whip you for real.

Now 007, what has M told you about using a Beretta?

You may absolutely, definitely, kiss the bride.

Now you know why I'm afraid of trap doors.

The last place I'd look for drugs is in a drawer full of maggots. Ick.

The electric eel is far more efficient than the gasoline eel.

Look quick! It's a kid in a VH1 t-shirt!

Kitties!

Bond's gone rogue!

Sorry 007, I didn't recognize you without a duck on your head.

There's going to be a lot of coked up sharks off the coast of Florida, and there's nothing worse than a coked up shark.

They really just throw money all over the place don't they.

Mister Bond that's one Cigarette that I approve of.

Bond orders a Bud with a lime. Remember this. Put it somewhere in your mind-brain. File it away.

Is that the same shirt that Benicio Del Toro wore in The Usual Suspects?

What is about Bond and boats? The bad guys always shoot the fuel tank of fuel ine or Bond can't find the fuel shutoff switch. It's a wonder they ever let in the Royal Navy.

Bond also plays blackjack. I don't like anything where 21 wins. You really need to know that about me.

You have to love a tear away dress.

So that's what he cummerbund is for. I always thought it was a crumb catcher. Silly me.

Pigeons!

You won't get that toothpaste back in the tube.

There is always one loudmouth in every meeting. You ever notice that. I'm not only talking about real life but Bond films as well.

Ninjas show up when you least expect it.

Q always complains about how 007 treats his equipment and the he throws the broom radio in the bushes.

If this secret agent thing doesn't work out Bond could always get a job with Motor Convoy.

A wheelie?! Seriously!?

It it just me or does Leiter seem a tad cheerful considering all that has happened?

Oh yeah, they put a warning about cigarettes in the closing credits but nothing about drugs or guns or sharks.

I really liked Timothy Dalton as Bond. I wish that he could have made a few more. The two he was is were very good but by no means perfect. They both were a bit overlong.

I think The Living Daylights  better managed mixing a serious storyline with elements of humor. This one had a very serious storyline. It wasn't too well received at the time but it has a lot of fans. I just think that it was far too ahead of it's time. Think about it. If you keep the revenge storyline and change the drugs to something else I could see Daniel Craig doing a great job with it. Maybe that's just me.

James Bond will return. Eventually.
