speaking of living daylights, I'm trying to think of all the times other 00 agents appear and has there ever been a time where a non-007 agent has been portrayed as anything other incompetent or a murderous turncoat

The two or three other 00s in the training sequence opening of living daylights all get killed by the russian spy 00
that one dude dies dressed as a god drat clown in Octopussy
Alec Trevelyan and Silva are both traitors
poo poo there's even a throwaway line the goldeneye Silo mission briefing about how another 00 blew himself up playing around with plastic explosives

no wonder they still keep the drunken unreliable james bond around though it's any wonder they bother keeping the 00 section active at all



Was that one dude in living daylights who fought the blonde headphones henchman in the kitchen for like five minutes straight a 00? I think he was a chef. her majesty's secret service employs tougher chefs than they do secret agents

I postulate that the movie is underrated because its so drat long, but the theme song is not since A-Ha rules.

The Living Daylights was the "Bond in the era of safe sex" film which meant he didn't get to bang away indiscriminately, but he got to, like, hang out with Maryam d'Abo while she was wearing a bikini or something.

I have this on blu ray for some reason, i really should rewatch it

all i remember is a lady drive-by tossing a snake into some dude's car and a really bizzare sex scene where they're comically slipping in and out of frame on a moving boat

i also remember the audio commentary by irvin kershner being pretty funny because it's him basically apologizing for why the movie isn't good

Well if you include the Americans, Leiter is off and on competent as the movies demand and the dude from the brosnan flicks(Wade?) sneaks up on bond with a giant mess of soldiers. Actually that dude basically showed up, laughed at Bond and then did something useful when he showed up. He was a cool dude, they should have used him more.

its really not very good. the pacing is totally weird. the time bond spends in the hospital is good while hes getting freaky with the nurses, and then that scene with the video game, and klaus maria brandauer is great as largo though. its the same plot as thunderball btw.

I like to think Brad Whittaker survived his encounter with Bond in living daylights and planned to take his revenge against him by infiltrating the CIA but just never got around to it

felix leiter never made an impression on me in any of the movies other than Casino Royale. I liked that about the Brosnan flicks, Jack Wade and Valentin Zukovsky fill that role as helpful associates in a much more entertaining way than Leiter ever did

Casino royale was good, quantum of solace was bad, and skyfall was loving awfully boring

I mean, I know James Bond always wins and poo poo, but there was something about skyfall that just felt as insincere as the hobbit 2

Casino Royale has been the only Bond movie I've ever liked since View to a Kill. Everything between has been pretty poo poo.

Different cinematographer though and half the reason Skyfall was so good was because it was loving gorgeous.

yeah even if you hate everything about Skyfall (dunno why, I really enjoy it) you have to give it its dues for looking spectacular. The lighting, the sets, the cinematography is top level. So many of the scenes have shots that could be still images lining some wall somewhere. The fight against the blue neon sign in the construction tower alone


also whoever said Alan Rickman being 006 for Goldeneye holy moly I would kill to visit an alternate dimension where this occured.
