brought to you by the geek cast radio network
and audible dot com i'm one of your steve jim
mike and today and joining me as always is muriel
then hello hello how are you i'm well how are
you uh... okay i almost didn't make it but i'm
here yay uh... today we're going to be finding
out why james bond has a license to kill oh boy
It turns out I don't remember seeing this film
as it why I remember seeing this it's it's so
weird the Dalton era like I know Last week when
we talked about the living daylights. I know
I had never seen that because I only known Let's
face it license out of the two of them is the
more popular or the one not really more popular
But the one that is more well known to most like
an average moviegoer I would say it's probably
definitely more talked about just to think a
lot of because of the controversy with it and
it's More of a hotbed topic with a lot of bond
fans. So I think you hear more about license
than you do about her bad or Living living daylights
for sure. Yeah But yeah, I you know when I sat
down to watch this and I'm like Okay, I remember
seeing Dalton is bond in this but I don't remember
anything that's going on in this movie what so
ever Yeah for a large portion of this I could
only think about your feelings towards quantum
and We'll get to that eventually and I was just
thinking and like well if he doesn't like that
revenge pot I could only imagine what's going
through his head with a lot of this well Alright,
let's let's get this out of the way. I have stated
in the past I stated on the GCR Bond episode
I've stated in I think it was you know that that
film that shall never be talked about ever again
with the Australian model You know that I don't
think James Bond should be doing revenge type
stories specifically because of what the current
era of bond did before skype between royale and
and quantum of snoring uh... i get a good idea
as of the television she said my friend melissa
uh... who runs the television dot com she commented
on one of my on on the facebook status i put
out about uh... on her majesty's secret service
and in quantum of boring And she said, yeah,
I call it the quantum of snoring. I was like,
oh, that's awesome. But I understand why this
is James going after a revenge type thing, because
it's his friend. And I understand why he did
it, even though we didn't cover it here. But
part of diamonds are forever. I understand, you
know, they killed his wife, you know, obviously,
okay, I get that. I just feel, and I'll repeat
this again when we get to it, I just feel that
between Casino Royale and Quantum of Boredom,
it just doesn't... James Bond is not supposed
to be... a serialized film franchise. What I
mean by serialized film franchise in my opinion
is it's not supposed to have movie one, movie
two, movie three. It's not supposed to have sequels.
It's supposed to be individual missions. And
that's my biggest issue between Royale and Solus.
is that they tried to set it up to be a sequel
and that's, I don't like that, I disagree with
that. You look at Living Daylights and you look
at this, two, even though they're Dalton, essentially
two very different films. Yeah, typically with
the Bond franchise, I mean in the beginning there
was a little bit of carryover with dr. No to
rush from Russia with love what they tend to
get away from that and focus just right movie
to movie I mean we can get more in a quantum
when we get there. I personally I don't mind
I don't mind if they switch it up here and there
or We'll get with this film when they kind of
make things more personal that you say like,
you know this time It's personal. You know that
classic tie -in line which works with this film.
So I think if Bond changes as long as they make
that change work and it's a good change or effective.
I don't mind it It's more so when they change
it and then the product they change it to is
is less than what came before You know, that's
that's the issue. It's like the new coke new
coke wasn't bad because it was new It was bad
because the drink soft is the so it's the same
thing if you change bond to something different
It's okay with me as long as what we get is still
good. So that's like And when we kind of get
in the Craig era, we'll go over that. When we
can see the changes that worked for the better,
and then those changes that maybe were better
left with the kind of room floor. Right. All
right. So we're going to head it over to JT from
Saskatoon, who has the Justifacts on license
to kill. Really, 007? Q, what the hell are you
doing here? I might have killed you! Well, I'm
on leave. Thought I'd pop round and see how you're
getting on. You all right? Yes, of course I'm
all right. How'd you find me? Well, Moneypenny,
of course, she's worried sick about you. This
is no place for you, Q. Go home. Oh, don't be
an idiot, 007. I know exactly what you're up
to, and quite frankly, you're gonna need my help.
Remember, if it hadn't been for Q Branch, you'd
have been dead long ago. Everything for a man
on holiday. Explosive alarm clock guaranteed
never to wake up anybody who uses it. Dentonite
toothpaste to be used sparingly. It's the latest
in plastic explosive. I could do with some plastic.
I thought there might be a mess to clean up.
Pam, this is Q, my uncle. Uncle, this is Miss
Kennedy, my cousin. Ah, we must be related. How
do you do? Now, pay attention, 007. Now, this
looks like an ordinary camera, doesn't it? What
kind of film does it take? 120? No, .220, high
velocity. Now, this is a signature gun, and that
is an optical palm reader. And if I plug this
into the bottom like that, once I've programmed
it... Now, nobody can use the gun but you. Smile,
boys. Don't use the flesh! Stop fiddling about
with things you don't understand. You might easily
have killed him. That's odd. Look, let's all
get some rest, shall we? We've got a long, hard
day ahead of us tomorrow. Good night, Q. Sweet
dreams, Mr Bond. As we begin the film, James
Bond is in Florida and on his way with friend
Felix Leiter to the latter's wedding. Along the
way, they are pulled over by DEA agents who Leiter
was working with. He is informed that a ruthless
drug lord, Franz Sanchez, is in the Bahamas for
the first time in years and this may be their
only chance to capture him. Despite his own protest,
Bond goes in with Felix to help with the arrest.
Catching up with the villain at a small airfield,
Bond, Leiter and the DAA engage in a brief gun
battle with Sanchez's forces before he takes
off in a small plane. Bond and Leiter then use
a Coast Guard helicopter to literally pull the
plane from the sky and arrest Sanchez. The two
friends then haul ass to the wedding, literally
dropping in on the proceedings as they parachute
in. After the wedding, everyone heads to Felix's
home for the reception where they present Bond
with an engraved lighter. Della even teases James
that he should get married and tosses her garter
at him. Bond accepts it with a half -hearted
smile and Felix reminds his wife he was married
once before, but that was in another lifetime.
Meanwhile, a very cavalier Sanchez, who says
he won't be here long, is interrogated by DEA
agent Killefer before he is loaded into a transport
truck and taken away to prison. But along the
way, Killefer knocks out the guard in the back
with Sanchez, revealing that he has turned traitor.
Then a helicopter with magnetic lift hauls the
truck off the road and drops it into the ocean.
Frogman soon arrives to rescue Sanchez and Killefer,
who the drug lord has paid off with $2 million.
Sanchez then has his lieutenant, the psychotic
Dario, kidnap Felix and his new bride. They kidnap
the couple and bring them to a marine research
lab run by Milton Crest, Sanchez's partner in
his drug smuggling operation. Killifer then reveals
himself to Leiter and after Dario tells Leiter
they raped and killed his wife, they lower him
into a shark tank where he is mauled by the waiting
animal. The next day, Bond learns of the attack
while at the airport and goes to see his injured
friend. Doctors say he may survive, but he has
lost his right leg and Bond vows revenge, ignoring
his standing orders for a new assignment. Bond
breaks into Felix's home and searches through
his files, finding a lead that implicates Milton
Crest and goes to investigate. After bluffing
his way in, 007 meets with Crest, who feeds him
some lies about what goes on there, and then
he leaves, but not before noticing the flower
from Felix's tuxedo on the floor. Later that
night, Bond sneaks in and searches the lab to
discovering it's a waystation for Sanchez's operation.
He is attacked by guards, and after a brief fight,
he runs into Killifer, who has been hiding there.
Bond knocks Killifer onto a rope over the shark
pit, then tosses the traitor's payoff at him,
knocking him into the tank to his death. The
next day, Bond is taken to meet with M, who demands
that Bond let it go before he orders 007 to Istanbul
for a new assignment. Bon politely declines,
wanting to find the men who attacked his friend.
When M again refuses, Bon quits MI6 and escapes
after M revokes his license to kill. Going back
to the lighter house, Bon looks over the files
on Sanchez again and sees that Felix had a meeting
with an informant that night. Bon heads to the
rendezvous and meets Pam Bouvier, a former CIA
pilot who had worked for Sanchez before. However,
as they discuss what they can do for each other,
Dario and some thugs show up, and after instigating
a bar brawl and escaping through a shotgun hole
in the back wall, Pam and Bond escape in a cigarette
boat. When the engine conks out, they drift to
shore, while Pam gets a reluctant Bond to agree
to let her help get the guys who hurt Felix.
Part of the plan involves Bond sneaking on board
Milton Crest's boat the next day. Bond sneaks
in with a submersible drone and sees bales of
money in a decompression chamber, and as he sneaks
about the ship checking things out, he runs into
Lupe Lamora, Sanchez's girlfriend, who had tried
to run away but was caught by Crest. After a
battle with some frogmen, Bond sees the drone
deliver the bales of money to a waiting sea plane,
where Sanchez's men reload the drone with fresh
cocaine. Bond climbs on board the drone and destroys
the drugs, then uses a harpoon gun to get on
board the seaplane. After he eliminates the drug
runners, Bond steals the plane and the money
and heads to Isthmus City in Panama with Pam
to continue his mission of vengeance. 007 uses
the stolen money to gamble in Sanchez's casino
to get his attention, and when he is brought
before Sanchez for a friendly interrogation,
Bond passes himself off as a mercenary looking
for work. He has also gained the attention of
a man named one of several Chinese men who were
there to meet with Sanchez about expanding the
scope of his operations. And, surprisingly, Q
shows up at Bond's hotel room, ready, willing
and able to help with his undertaking. Of course,
Q has brought a bag full of the usual goodies
for Bond to play with, which include a sniper
rifle camera and plastic explosive toothpaste.
The next night, while Sanchez holds his meeting,
Bond sets the explosives outside the window and
then retreats to the building opposite the casino
to trigger them. But just as he is about to set
the explosives off, he sees Pam meeting with
Heller, Sanchez's security chief in the room
opposite. Once she leaves, Bonn triggers the
bomb, but is attacked and captured by some ninjas.
When he comes to, Bonn finds he's been captured
by Quang, who is really a Chinese narcotics cop
who has been infiltrating Sanchez's organization.
Just as the local MI6 operative arrives to take
Bonn back to London, the local military forces,
under command of Sanchez, who think the Chinese
agents were there for him, attack and destroy
them all. Sanchez's men discovers Bond in the
wreckage and he is brought back to Sanchez's
mansion. When Bond awakes the next day, he manages
to get Sanchez to believe that the Chinese agents
were there to kill him and that they had a man
inside. Bon drops enough hints for Sanchez that
he starts to think that Crest is turned on him.
After accepting Sanchez's insistent demands that
he stay at the mansion, Bon escapes with the
help of Lupe and contacts Pam and Q for the next
stage of the plan. Bon also confronts Pam about
her meeting with Heller, where she reveals that
she was giving Heller an offer of immunity from
Felix if he can return some Stinger missiles
that Sanchez was going to use as a deterrent
to the DAA. She confesses that she was trying
to complete Felix's plan, but now Heller is backed
out and her life isn't even great. greater danger.
Bond assures her that he won't let that happen,
and that evening, Pam and Bond separately board
Crest's boat and place the money Bond stole back
in the decompression chamber. When Sanchez arrives,
his suspicions are seemingly confirmed when he
finds the money, and he traps Crest inside the
chamber, setting it to maximum pressure before
popping the porthole with a fire axe and killing
Crest. Sanchez then returns to the mansion to
speak with Bond, who just barely made it back
before him, and the drug lord rewards Bond for
his help and says he wants to show Bond something
the next day. That something turns out to be
the heart of Sanchez's operation, which is a
meditation retreat headed by Professor Joe Butcher.
The quasi -religious telecasts that Professor
Butcher puts on are actually coded for Sanchez's
customers, whose donations are purchases of his
product. Sanchez also demonstrates that his product
is smuggled out of the country by dissolving
it in gasoline, which is then separated by means
of a simple chemical mixture after it reaches
its destination. While the tour continues, Pam
arrives at the compound after being told by Lupe
that Bond was still going after Sanchez despite
believing that he was leaving the country. Pam
traps Professor Joe in his personal chamber and
steals his keys and searches for Bond. About
this time, Bond is discovered by Dario who ties
him up and puts him on a conveyor belt while
Sanchez questions him. Bond is nearly sent into
a drug grinder when he asks about the Stingers
and Sanchez leaves him to search for Heller while
Dario tries to finish Bond off. Pam shows up
and shoots Dario allowing Bonn to grab him and
feed him to the grinder. Pam and Bonn then chase
after Sanchez, coming across Heller, who had
been killed by his employer while he was caught
stealing the Stingers. Bonn sees Sanchez take
off in his car, followed by four tanker trucks
full of the drugs. They take off in a small plane
Pam arrived in, and Bonn is dropped onto the
back of one of the tanker trucks and then takes
control of it. He manages to run one of the other
trucks off the road, then dodges a Stinger missile
one of Sanchez's goons fires at him by executing
a driver's side wheelie with his tanker truck.
Bond abandons his truck and climbs aboard the
final tanker and starts to let the gas out of
the tank. Sanchez stops the truck and climbs
on board hacking at Bond with a machete and he
severs the brake line of the truck. Sanchez and
Bond fight each other in the back of the truck
and after the truck rolls off the road, Bond
is beaten and bloody and in danger of being killed
by Sanchez when he sets the villain alight with
the lighter he got from Felix and Della. Sanchez
is left to die in the flames while Bond takes
off with Pam. The following evening Bond attends
a lavish party thrown by Lupe at Sanchez's former
estate. Pam arrives with Q, eager to see Bond
who she has fallen for, but rushes out when she
sees Lupe kiss him. Bond chases after her, revealing
his own feelings for Pam as he kisses her, ending
the film. Directed by John Glenn, his fifth and
final Bond film licensed The Kill opened on July
13, 1989 to generally favorable reviews, despite
many criticizing the noticeably darker and violent
plot of the film. Derek Malcolm of The Guardian
likened the film to the earlier Bond films in
its harder edge and flair, and the critic for
The Observer, Philip French, Also said he enjoyed
the serious tone of Dalton's performance and
called License to Kill an entertaining and untaxing
film. However, not all critics enjoyed the new
Bond film. Hilary Mantel of The Spectator and
David Robinson of The Times both dismissed the
film. Robinson felt the film neither disappointed
or surprised the fan base, while Mantel likened
License to Kill's plot to that of a slasher film.
Modern critics are equally split on the film,
resulting in its current 74 % frustrating on
RottenTomatoes .com. Licensed to Kill star Timothy
Dalton in his second and final appearances as
007. The rest of the cast included Robert Davies
as Franz Sanchez, David Hedison in his second
appearance as Felix Leiter, Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa
as Quang, Benicio del Toro in an early film appearance
as Dario, and Wayne Newton as Professor Joe Butcher?
What the hell is Wayne Newton doing in a Bond
movie? Now, as I mentioned earlier, David Hedison
appeared for the second time as Felix Leiter.
What's special about this is that he and Jeffrey
Wright share the distinction of both having played
Felix Leiter twice on film, something never before
done in the series. The film actually has a callback
to the Connery era of Bond as well, in that the
mayor of Isma City is played by Pedro Amandares
Jr., the son of the man who played Kareem Bay
in From Russia with Love. This was also the first
film in the series to not take its title from
one of the novels, but rather the often used
term licensed to kill. And the concept of Felix
losing his leg comes from the novel Live and
Let Die, where he loses his right arm. This is
also the last Bond film for six years, as legal
wrangling over the ownership of the character
of 007 would not be settled until sometime in
1993, resulting in a six -year gap until GoldenEye
in 95. License to Kill is on my list of favorite
Bond films for a lot of reasons, not the least
of which is that this was the first Bond movie
that I ever saw that didn't have Roger Moore
starring. But beyond that, the film brought the
franchise back in line with the early Connery
films and gave back a sense of realism to the
character of James Bond. Timothy Dalton, while
playing 007 a lot darker and intense than I was
used to, made me care a lot for Bond. When you
see how angry he is that someone tried to hurt
his best friend, that's just great action. in
my opinion. This has been Just the Facts for
License to Kill. I'm JT from Saskatoon. Back
to M -Wire. All right. Thank you, JT from Saskatoon,
for that pretty awesome Just the Facts on License
to Kill. As I've stated in previous weeks here
on the Shaken on Sturge spotlight, this was the
first Bond film that I remember. Like really
paying attention to as a like as you know nine
ten well well I can't 89 so I was nine I think
I saw this around 90 or 91 whenever it hit VHS.
I don't I don't like nowadays You can pretty
much do clockwork on media release like you know
When the dark night came dark night came out
dirty rises came out in July and here it is,
you know December and it's already out on DVD,
digital, you know, Blu -ray, whatever. Back then,
I couldn't tell you how long it took. Because
back then, movies were in theaters a lot longer,
at least they were to me, than nowadays where,
hey, release a movie in six months, it'll be
on DVD. That's very true. Right now, the big
thing right now is having the... huge opening
weekend because it opens wide pretty much everywhere
very slowly rarely do we get the films that kind
of open in New York and LA and then a few months
later open up in Larger everywhere. I mean that
happens with maybe smaller independent films
or more award -based films when I'll come something
like James Bond It's usually wide everywhere
or comes in with a case of this year where it
releases in Europe and England and then comes
over to America But yeah back in the day a film
would stay in the theater for you know, perhaps
months While now if you're in the theater for
more than two months, that's that's rare that's
usually you have to be a Dark Knight or Avengers
to stay within With yeah, let's stay longer than
a month or so. So yeah, we know right now I know
something comes out in may three or four months.
It's gonna be on a dvd So it's right. It's almost
a guarantee now That's why I think it's kind
of hurting theater guys because they're like
well I could spend 20 bucks to go see this with
my wife or I could just wait A couple months
and I know it's going to be available on home
media. So Yeah, exactly, um, but going back and
watching this again I really enjoyed this one.
I'm right there with you. I never saw this one
before this year. I mentioned with the Living
Daylights, Timothy Dallin's films have this negative
connotation towards them with a lot of Bond fans
that at least I'm friends with. So I kind of
avoided them. I understand where a lot of those
people are coming from, but I'm right there with
you. I really enjoy this movie. I think it's
a better movie than it is a Bond movie. I can
see the issues people have with this because
it does change Bond a lot and it will change
a lot of what we know about the character, but
I overall really enjoyed it and I really don't
get the huge amount of hatred that this film
often gets. Was it yesterday I did You know back
when we Were planning on you know getting ready
for this review I Had made a essentially an open
statement on Facebook about you know my thoughts
on More so the two, at least my personal opinion
on the two worst Bond films in the entire franchise,
which one of them is, you know, Mr. Australian
Jackass as Bond and Quantum of Boredom. Thank
you, Better in the Dark. You know, and in that
I stated that I think that it's better if they
would have just referenced Bond being married
at one point or another Not necessarily made
a movie around him falling in love because as
I as I've stated before here in shaken on stirred
on him wire that Bond for the most part is shown
to be this, you know cavalier fly by the seat
of your pants You know put your dick in anything
Agent and he you know, I mean there's the there's
nothing to him that says anything about, you
know, safe sex or monogamy or anything like that.
And having a movie like On Her Majesty's Secret
Service and having him fall in love and, you
know, want to leave the agency. I get that it
was something different. I understand all that.
But I felt his emotion of him, you know, of him
being married once more in License to Kill when
delia delia or whatever the hell her name is
i think it's delia delia delia i don't know when
she starts bringing it up ice and maybe it's
because timothy dalton can actually act which
lazy b can't uh... i saw more emotion in dalton's
performance of just mentioning the fact that
he was married once then the entire film want
her majesty's secret service you know i i agree
to that The point where the Dalton sells it a
whole lot better than Lason B did because he
you know He is a better actor Lason B doesn't
have that range or really any range. Yeah But
yeah, I complete I agree that that moment I've
probably out of even more when it was mentioned
and when Roger Moore was bought I think Dalton
better than anyone kind of sold that moment and
you can see Like just how like hurt he was but
he didn't want to he didn't want to hurt her
feelings so he kind of just played it off like
it was no big deal but you could just see with
his eyes that that what that meant to him right
and what you know that and that's the thing you
know she's saying all this stuff of you know
hey here's here's my daughter etc etc etc you
know and you can just see the look on Dalton's
face and Felix sees it You know, I mean, Felix
sees the look on Bond's face and that's why,
you know, after Bond walks away, Felix just says
to her, he was married once. It's not, you know,
Felix didn't have to say anything more than he
was married once. I mean, because the acting
performance that Dalton gives in this and just
that moment of his just such a forlorn and sad
look, it's not that kind of vulnerability that
you ever really see from James Bond. And I preferred
that over the entirety of that Lazenby movie.
But that's just my own personal, you know, that's
just my own personal opinion on it. And more
importantly, I think that moment is a big reason,
a big justification for what happens afterwards,
because I think that not only gives us a good
indication of what his feelings was about his
wife, but also his feelings towards Felix. You
know in his wife, I think it also lets us know
how much he cared about them that he would kind
of bite his lip or kind of Go out of his way
not to show how much that meant to him Because
he didn't want to hurt their feelings and put
her in an odd spot. So I think that's a big important
part of why Him going to the lengths he does
is legitimate. So it yeah Yeah, you know this
like this type of quote -unquote revenge film
it's you know getting back its you know this
vendetta is because of something that was done
to a friend of it you know some someone who he
you know two people who he considers you know
his best friends this in this instance i'd don't
mind a revenge film you know rep you know wrap
you know or revenge plot wrapped around bond
uh... Craig you know knew Vesper what maybe six
months that's and we'll and we'll and we'll get
to that when we get to the Craig era but that's
that's really you know anyway so license license
was the last film for six years after because
of legal wranglings and and everything else having
issues what issues Can you hear me? So before
we delve too much further into license, this
was the last film for six years. And honestly,
I don't... Hmm. I don't mind that this was the
last one. I mean, yes, of course we want, you
know, more Bond than I know everyone. Most everyone
that enjoys Dalton's two films and I know you
I know you said it last week with Living Daylights
That you know, what if you know, what would have
happened if we got one at least one more somewhere
between 89 and 95, you know And and I think I
pointed out to you I said as long as you know
as long as it happened before 95 and brought
as if Dalton came back for a third round As long
as it happened before Pierce, I would have been
perfectly happy with that, but if Dalton came
back and it didn't allow Pierce to come in, I
would be so pissed. If the Brosner era never
happened, because then I wouldn't have the love
for the character and the love for the franchise
that I do now. Yeah, and I think the unintentional
positive towards that hiatus was... how the global
climate and how much it changed, you know, because
the Cold War is now over, Russia is now our ally.
So I think having that hiatus, I think it kind
of gave Bond plenty of years to figure out where
it could go with the character, because Bond
is very much a product of the Cold War. So trying
to putting him in the 90s is a difficult challenge,
and we'll get more to that with GoldenEye. But
I think having a larger time frame to fit him
in, I think would have... worked out on their
benefit. I couldn't imagine it could have went
down a very negative way if they try to kind
of continue with Dalton for a third trim. I think
there's a lot of potential there, but in a way
it works out in their benefit having this hiatus
kind of letting the world figure itself out and
then coming back with a new Bond movie. Exactly.
And as I believe I've stated in other Think I
stated this in the GCR bond episode that you
and I did and I know I stated it last week in
daylights after 1991 and Rocketeer, I don't think
I can see I don't think I could have seen then
Dalton as bond After you know playing Neville
Sinclair the Nazi, you know, you know, I just
cuz Dalton always outside of My liking of of
daylights and and license He to me always plays
villain characters he he is he he has that you
know villain type of Attitude to me that's that's
what that that's a type of actor. He is he he
plays great villains Yeah, I'm not saying he
doesn't do bond justice. I'm not saying that
his version of you know the way he portrayed
bomb was bad I'm just saying that I just In generally,
when you think of when I think of Timothy Dalton's
name, I don't think of heroes at all. Yeah. His
smirk is very villainous. When I think of Timothy
Dalton, I tend to think of hot fuzz and his character
and that and how well that works. But yeah, he
he he is excels at doing villains, I think better
than he did at Bond. I like him as Bond, but
when he's kind of playing the other end of the
spectrum, I think he is he is at his best. Yeah.
So the overall JT broke down the plot for us
but The whole point to this film for the villain
was stinger missiles Really? Yes, it it was odd
to have kind of the drug aspect to it and that
aspect to it and I think it really just got in
the way of a good revenge film I don't think
they needed that I think they could have just
made it bond trying to seek revenge for his friend
that other stuff wasn't really necessary I mean
it's fine for it to be there but as being as
big as a part of it that it was it didn't really
do anything it just things made things overly
convoluted, but it's like that common bond trope.
We need this grand scheme and these twists and
turns and that usually works, but for this story,
it's a more personal story. So straightforwardness
would probably benefit it in a lot of ways. Yeah.
We've got a very unique cast in this film. Many
who we've all seen before, but two that I didn't
even know. Well, I knew, but I didn't know where
to place them and I had to look them up. Obviously
Dalton is back as Bond. You've got Carrie Lowell,
who is Pam Bouvier, ex -army pilot and CIA informant.
First time I, like, when she came on screen,
more so in the hotel scene with Q, And she's
got that, essentially that plunging neckline
there. That's the first time I realized, hey,
I know I've seen her in something before. She
was in law and order. She is one of the district
attorneys in law and order next to Jack McCoy.
I'll get to that later. And Robert Davy, Sanchez's
character, he was... Agent Johnson in Die Hard.
No, not that Agent Johnson, the other one. He
was the white Agent Johnson in Die Hard a year
earlier. I'm like, the whole movie, I'm like,
where have I seen this guy before? I recognize
the face. I don't recognize the voice. I recognize
the face. Now, where have I seen him before?
And I looked him up and I was like, oh yeah,
he's Agent Johnson from Die Hard. Yes, the cast
is a very eclectic, you know, range of character
actors to lounge singers with Wayne Newton, which
is probably one of the most strange choices for
a Bond role is Wayne Newton. But hey, it's a
Bond film. It was the eighties. Why not? Yeah.
And you got Talisa Soto as Lupe Lamora. This
is Probably the one of... I don't know how many...
I wonder how many Bond films are there that just
have regular Bond girls names instead of, you
know, something like Pussy Galore or Octopus
or, you know, something that's a pun. Because
this is one of those ones that the Bond girls
just have regular names. They don't... They don't
have names that are supposed to be funny or,
you know, double entendres or anything like that,
so... Now, there's this, I mean, Honor of Majesty,
Secret Service. Most of Casino Royale, I mean,
Casino Royale and most of the Gregera, to a certain
extent, there are a few characters in there,
but yeah, it's very odd to have no Bond Girl
with some type of, you know, punterific name
that are just... Yeah. Benicio Del Toro's in
this as Dario, one of Sanchez's henchmen, one
of the... One of the worst bond henchmen in history
he It's you know made to You're made to think
that he rapes before he kills Felix his wife,
but you obviously we never see it So in that
sense he's an evil bastard, but he is a henchman
that essentially does nothing he's more Barf
and bite for sure. Um, yeah, I like del torres
performance He almost felt like a side character
in scarface in a way. Um, but yeah his character
doesn't really It's more of a plot piece than
an actual character. That's meant to change the
scenario I mean what he does is reprehensible,
but Overall, he's not as memorable as other characters
like jaws or odd job or he's he's more straightforward
and realistic And I think because of that he's
not as memorable Yeah And of course you've got
Desmond Llewellyn back as Q. You've got Robert
Brown back as M. You've got Caroline Bliss back
as Miss Moneypenny. You've got Cary Hiroyuki
Tagawa. I've seen this guy in plenty of stuff
that I never thought I would ever see him in.
Most people are going to recognize this guy.
As Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat the first Mortal
Kombat combat film I've seen him in plenty of
other stuff though most notably he was in Like
the first two and a half seasons in Ash Bridges
But it was just weird to me seeing him in a Bond
film It was cool, but it was still weird. Yeah
this This was like who's not a who's who but
it was a random actor of the random actor that
you're gonna recognize I think for a big reason
why these actors are a part of films now that
we watch, unlike in the 60s, there are as many
character actors in those films, but they're
part of movies that we've never seen. They're
not as common as these characters. We're seeing
them in TV shows we watch. We see them in movies
we watch. But during the 1960s, a lot of those
actors, they're not as iconic as someone like
Sean Connery, so we don't really pick on them.
pick up on it as much as we do with a film like
this or later with the Brosnan movies. Yeah.
Yeah. You know, and overall, I mean, the cast
is just really, really well done. You know, there
isn't, you know, granted some of the characters,
like I said, Del Toro's actual character that
he plays is kind of forgettable, but You know
overall the casting is great as far as the movie
itself I'm glad they didn't go with the original
title Original title of this movie was supposed
to be license revoked that would not That just
would not have been marketable I don't think
no it sounds kind of like a bond um summer teenage
comedy you know bond license revoked spring break
or something like that it doesn't sounds sounds
like a bad james bond jr episode yeah that's
that's perfect for it yeah that's like going
with license kill was a better choice by four
and it makes sense as far as the title goes because
throughout the history to this point you know
And whoever else I believe I believe Q has said
it a couple of times I could be wrong if it I
don't know I don't remember off top my head right
now if Q has said it but they've always said
007 has a license to kill and it's it's better
to It's better advertising, you know, like like
I like I introduced this episode, you know, we're
gonna find out why exactly James Bond has a license
to kill I mean that's that you know that's how
it's Catchier that way. It's a lot catchier than
quantum of solace for sure Yeah You know there
are a few people that did their uh... bond licenses
revoked for not putting in any uh... any brosden
era bond girls and blogs but anyway uh... you
know overall uh... the movie was just so just
so good let's uh... let's go ahead and get into
uh... well before we get into the highlights
and lowlights the music the song oh my god that
song was awesome Gladys Knight from Gladys Knight
in the Pips sang the The lead song license to
kill and I love that song I Guess I ought to
be in the other. I don't dislike that song. I
just I don't know. It's just not my type of music
I'll just I love right gladys night isn't she
saw and she's good at what she does. It just
doesn't resonate with me I it's not a song i
just there's bond songs which i hear and i really
despise what i this one it was just it was there
i understood it the lyrics were okay but it was
one of my favorites compared to okay sticking
with just the dalton films i would say license
to kill is Better than the Living Daylights as
far as the songs go because let's face it as
I said last week with Living Daylights Aha is
essentially a one -hit wonder band with take
on me They have no other songs that I remember
other than that song and when I heard like I
Prefer the license to kill song over the Living
Daylights song. Yeah, I agree with you that I
think the like the Living Daylights song was
just them attempting to kind of rehash what they
did with Avito Kill. Duran Duran, yeah. This
one was at least unique. It was different for
a Bond film. Yeah. I appreciate them trying something
different. I think when they try to be derivative,
it never works out. So I do appreciate that.
But it just didn't work for me. Nothing against
it, personally. Just one of those things. Yeah.
All right. So a couple of highlights. Actually,
I've got a lot of highlights from this one. I
guess I really like this one. I love how the
film opens the action is just great and it just
goes to show you What an action star Dalton is
or you know was back then? I don't know. What
is he I'm gonna have to look him up and see what
he's done any you know anything in the last ten
years I don't know if he's one of those actors.
Hey, I'm retired, you know, I'm not sure I'll
have to look him up as we're talking here, but
just how the film opens all the action and you
know You know parachuting into a wedding now,
that's an entrance It's like, you know stealing
the show But I Just I love the whole opening
sequence here, what did you think about it? Did
you have any highlights in the opening sequence?
Yes, I did I think we'll get to this when we
talk about skyfall, but Christopher Nolan has
mentioned how much the Bond films have influenced
him as a director and how that's kind of come
full circle. I think you kind of... Possibly
can see one example of how it influenced him
because I got flashback to the Dark Knight Rises
from earlier this year with the helicopter hanging
the airplane upside down as it was flying away.
It just reminded me very much of the scene in
Dark Knight Rises where Bane escapes from the
plane and they have the large cargo plane come
and destroy it in mid -air. Obviously, I don't
know this for sure, but they do seem very similar
in knowing how Nolan has and admiration for the
Bond series kind of see how they kind of tie
in. So, yeah, I did. I did really like the opening
and. Tiffany Daltons opening from last movie
in this movie are two of the better openings
and really good action a good mixture of action,
too Not only is there action here, but it's purposeful
and it affects the story later in the movie And
I appreciate when the opening sequence has a
purpose to it I mean, I like the ones that are
kind of just one -offs. Those are fine But I
like seeing it and how it affects the movie later
on as well and this one certainly does Yeah I
love the scene I liked as when he snuck into
the plant and he flips the guard into the feeding
drawer. That was awesome. When he's in the fish
tank, when he's at Crest's place looking for
the shark. Yeah, yeah. When he's trying to do
some bond detective work to figure out what happened
to Felix. Right. Right, and the guards find him
and he flips one of them into the feeding drawer.
Yeah. Yeah, not a good place for anyone to be.
No. And I've said this before in many places.
I believe I've said it here in the Shaken Out
Stardust series in MWIRE as well. Normally I'm
not a fan of underwater scenes in anything because
they slow the 50 for me Underwater scenes slow
the film down so much When we get to tomorrow
never dies That's one thing that I don't like
about that film is the underwater scene with
the with with Bond and Waylon Looking for the
missing missile and all that but anyway In this
one, I felt the underwater scenes did not slow
it down. I felt that it was fairly good stuff.
And there's not a lot of underwater scenes here,
but there is just one point in the movie where
it's an underwater scene, and it goes a lot faster
than I normally see underwater scenes going.
And I really like that. Yeah, seeing him use
a spear gun to do water skiing was pretty fun.
My only issue with the 100 water scene was I
didn't understand the purpose of them having
this contraption going underneath the water to
the airplane that was further away, because no
one else was there. And there was no one else
looking at them. So it seemed like this huge
like. To do about nothing because it's like they're
just right there You can just hand it to them
like why are you making this huge? Underwater
contraption and doing all this when it's just
seems pointless, but it led to a fun scene. So
I'm like, all right, whatever It's a bond movie.
You're gonna have that but yeah, that Bona is
some great underwater scenes and there are like
you mentioned aren't a huge amount But they keep
them going and the action overall is very mixed
There's a lot of different areas that it hits
upon and I think that's one thing I enjoyed about
it My next one was, hey look it's Jamie Ross
from Law and Order. Jamie Ross is Carrie Lowell's
character name in Law and Order. She was on the
show, she was on Law and Order Prime from 96
to 2001. I believe her character was one of the
ones that replaced Angie Harmon's Abby Carmichael
character. So that's, I knew I had seen her from
somewhere and I had to look her up as I was watching
the film. And I was like, oh, so that's where
I've seen her before. When we get to The Craig
Air and Skyfall, this next line makes so much
more sense now. Because as I said, I hadn't seen
this movie. I hadn't seen License in so long.
So this is the film that the gun coating came
from. Yeah. That's pretty awesome. Yeah, I forgot
that was in this I throw you walk every walk
I watched this and then I saw skyfall and then
coming back being watching it again I'm like,
oh, yeah that's happened before and I couldn't
remember if it was this film or a different bottom
of me But yeah, yeah Wow Shang Tsung is a good
guy. That's kind of strange I love I Love it,
you know late later on in the film the truck
scenes. Those are so awesome The tanker truck
scenes. Yes. I've said before, when we first
started this, talking about Dr. No, how I like
the car chase and that and how I like a lot of
the car chases and a lot of the scenes in the
earlier Bond films. Again, it just goes to show
you that. Bond films can do chases amazingly,
and we'll see another amazing chase next week
when we get to GoldenEye, but the tanker truck
stuff was just simply amazing. I thought that
was great. Yeah, I like it best with Bond when
he had some great car chases, but some of my
favorite are ones when he uses some type of odd
vehicle, like a tanker truck or a bus. And there
are certain moments in that that I kind of cringe
that, but we're fine. And like when he has the
when he tries to dodge the missile by putting
up on two wheels. Not the most practical way
to dodge a missile, but hey, it was pretty amazing
to see. And the fact that they actually got a
Tinker truck to be on just half of its wheels,
which is crazy. I love ski mode for a truck.
That's awesome. And then when he does a wheelie
with it, I'm like, OK, that's physically impossible.
But OK, what are you going to do? You know what
you know like you said earlier you see where
Nolan got his his influence for some of his Filmmaking
as soon as I saw the truck do the wheelie. I'm
like, hey, is it gonna flip over? Did not pick
up on that but that's a good point Don't you
want to know why that was that has to be one
of the best bond villain deaths In the entire
franchise, the effect of of Sanchez being lit
on just the way that it's done in the in the
visual, just the visuals of how they pulled that
effect off when he first sets him on fire. I
was like, holy shit, is that an awesome visual?
And it was fitting that he uses a lighter that,
you know, Felix gives them a nice that's Well,
that's what I mean. He asks him, don't you want
to know why? He pulls out the lighter, and obviously
it's inscribed. But that's... That, like, two
-second scene of Sanchez dying, that was just
simply amazing. I loved that. Yeah, and usually
with Bond, the final death, it comes because
of some Q -gadget, like, you know, he has the
keychain or his watch, and this, it was because
of something that Felix gave him, and I think
it fits with the purpose of the movie, so it
was a nice little touch that they had there.
What did you like about license? What are some
of your highlights on it? I think it's fitting
that this movie comes out in 1989 because it's
This combination of a lot of 80s things crammed
into one movie in a good in a good way I mean
this came out the same year as what Roadhouse
but during the bar scene You can't help but think
back to you know, Patrick Swayze and more Roadhouse
I was surprised there wasn't a cameo there, but
and there's other things like It touches upon
Wall Street and the stock market a little bit
and how that mindset was going during this time
period. The greed is good type of things. A very
Miami Vice type plot with the characters as well.
They could have been right out of a Miami Vice
episode or part of the Scarface films. It was
a very common theme during this time with drugs
and the cartels. And stuff like that and is very
derivative of those also during the tanker truck
car chase I kind of had flashes back flashbacks
to road warrior because it reminded me with the
plane up up ahead, you know As these two truckers
could go down the road. It reminded me a lot
of road warrior I don't know if that was intentional
or not, but it had very a lot of similarities
to that car chase So I appreciated that kind
of it was a good way to kind of end a decade
with this movie that took all these different
pop culture elements and put them into one film.
Yeah, I'm glad they didn't decide to use Joker
gas in this, though. Yes, or a gigantic Joker
gun to take out. So funny. All right. I only
have, you know, like I said, going back and watching
this, I only have three low lights on this one.
Overall, this was. This almost, if it wasn't
for the Brosnan era, this almost would be my
number one favorite Bond film. Oh, wow. Minus
the Daniel Craig era and minus Goldfinger. This
might have been my number one favorite Bond film,
but I do have three different lowlights here.
why is it that all major criminals in films like
this are always transported in large obvious
armored cars as soon as i saw sanchez be put
into that i'm like yeah he's gonna escape i know
he is it's basically putting a huge target on
him and again similar to dark knight with similar
to dark knight yeah so it in in a way it's similar
because you have this huge car chase with them
getting the escape in the end. But yeah, it is
kind of funny. This huge armada does more harm
than good, really. Yep. Wow, that waitress was
a ditz. Oh my god. She doesn't notice. OK. I
can see, like, have you ever seen Gross Point
Blank? It's been a very long time, but yes. OK,
do you remember the diner scene between Cusack
and Akroyd? I believe it. I know what you're
getting at. They're sitting there. They come
in. They're sitting there. They're brown bagging
it to obviously hide the fact that they're pointing
guns at each other. But they're sitting there
this whole time. And the waitress is just kind
of oblivious, and she wants to know what they
want. You know what I mean? And this waitress
in this is kind of like the same thing, where
it's like, you know. She comes up to them and
says, oh do your friends want something not even
realizing that they're criminal I just oh god
that waitress pissed me off so much. Oh my god
I was like there had seen when they're all fighting
and then there's that one girl dancing in the
background and she just Continues dancing as
nothing is happening. Like this just yeah, like
yeah, this just happens. Oh, yeah the script
joint Yeah, it's just like this is what happens
on Saturday nights people shooting shotgun holes
and walls and we just accept it as the norm That
was kind of funny. Wayne Newton with any kind
of facial hair just looks weird to me. Wayne
Newton in this just looks strange to begin with.
He does make a good televangelist type of character,
but his acting is not the greatest. It's Wayne
Newton. He's an American icon. He's a Las Vegas
icon is what he is. For better or for worse.
I don't know. Did you have anything that you
didn't like about this one? I guess my biggest,
the biggest struggle this film has is we mentioned
it's more personal, it's more violent than any
other Bond film, but it also tries to be a Bond
film at the same time. And I think that struggle,
it struggles with that. Like having a Cucine,
I understand why it's there, but it feels out
of place when you have things like rape touched
upon or a violent of this nature, a person being
like Microwave to death or a person You know
having having like violence of this level and
still trying to be goofy at the same time It's
that juxtaposition is is off -putting. It's not
I think they handle it really well But that is
probably the biggest struggle of the film first.
I think the perfect example is What they do the
Felix lighter, you know, they? Having him being
like eaten by a shark it ended up being goofy
rather than being emotionally effective if Obviously
this wouldn't happen because it'd be too violent
but they hinted at using a chainsaw like similar
to Scarface I think that may have been a better
way but having it be historic which we've seen
done in Bond films time and time again and Trying
to put it in this film. That was kind of being
more mature It seemed like a knowledge choice
and it didn't ruin the movie, but it's just I
think they could have gone a different way with
it And we talked about how great the cast was.
And overall, I agree. But there are a few spots.
Wayne Newton, the actor who plays Sharkey, some
of the DEA agents, their acting is pretty, pretty
subpar. Their side characters are just there.
They're not a huge deal. But overall, Sharkey
is one of those characters that doesn't really
make sense. They present him as a character you're
supposed to care about, but I don't remember
him at all. I don't know why they make him be
a big deal. Sharkey to me is Dalton's Quarrel.
Dalton's Quarrel or Quarrel Jr. Yeah. It's that
whole thing of bringing in someone that Vaughn
knows. And that's the thing with this film, as
you said, it's a more personal film it's you
know it's a revenge plot film because of what
happens to lighter um... honestly i thought felix
was gonna die in this i didn't you know you get
bitten by a shark you're you know it you know
if your legs are bitten off obviously you know
you're gonna end up looking like lieutenant dan
and need magic legs after a couple you know i
mean it it it it's one of those things where
i thought felix was going to die honestly did
and I was happy at the end where he shows up
and he seems to be they don't show him from the
waist down but you know I mean he you know he's
got both of his arms because I know at one point
they said in the movie that you know his I forget
which one it was it was like his right leg and
his left arm are pretty much gone and then at
the end of the film you see him with both of
it I mean unless they you know pulled a you know
Unless they pulled a George Lucas and you know
made a robotic arm for him. I don't know You
know what I mean? It's like it's one of those
things where I'm so happy that that happened
I got to say this this film outside of the overall
plot. There's There's one scene that and it's
just it's just because of what the scene is Made
me tear up and just made me realize how how much
that I missed Desmond Welland when Dalton says
you know you're a hell of a field agent Q or
whatever that line is it'll be in the audio somewhere
here in the episode and I just I just lost it
with that scene I just couldn't I had to pause
the movie for a bit because I just couldn't handle
it because this is the one movie out of them
all I think that Q is actually more involved
than he normally is, because normally, you know,
you go to Q Branch, you get your gadgets, and
you go on your way. And then sometime during
the film, maybe Q would show up, or, you know
what I mean? But it's always been brief scenes
with Q, whereas in this one, he was almost a
full -on star of the film. Yeah, he... was more
proactive in this than he typically is. The only
other movie I can think of that we didn't cover
was like Octopus. He was he had a bigger role.
But yeah, seeing him kind of go out of his way
to help Bond, you kind of let you know that there's
always that Bond cue interplay where they kind
of jab each other. But deep down there, they
really care about each other. And like this is
perfect example of how much they will do for
one another. Yeah. Yeah. The only other low light
I had was I think the Bond girls in this were
overall pretty forgettable. And I think the biggest
way you can tell is at the end, there's this
kind of Bond love triangle. And I just didn't
care which one he chose. It didn't really seem
all that important. It is strange that in both
Dalton films, he seems to be monogamous than,
say, More or Connery. But yeah, they were just
kind of... Dalton probably had Out of only having
two movies. I think he never really had a really
strong bond girl unfortunately, but that was
really I Don't know I I really liked What's her
name Bouvier I I thought she was a Perfect side,
you know, not necessarily a side but a perfect
well She and Bond are essentially two sides of
the same coin, I would say, as far as... The
way I look at her is she is a female version
of the CIA, even though she's not CIA, but you
know, you got Bond and Felix, where Felix is
US and Bond is obviously British. Same thing
with Pam, whereas they're two of the same...
I'm glad he chose her over the other chick, because
the other chick was just too weird to me. I think
it's more... When I say... The blood that bomb
on love triangle. Well, I didn't care about it
Don't as big a struggle as always with like the
suave ness with bond and having the relationships
So it like they're they really didn't have any
chemistry. So I think when I say I didn't care
just because Never did they seem like people
they never seem like a couple they just seem
people like people at a similar mission that
were going against a similar enemy and Not to
people that were in love or anything like that
So I think that's probably why at the end when
he's like who is he gonna be with I just didn't
care because Didn't seem like he should be with
any of them And this will come back a couple
weeks from now when we talk about tomorrow never
dies But yeah, I know I totally agree with you.
It seemed like they had more of At first throughout
the entire film they had more of a you know 70
80 90 year old couple who has been buried for
60 something years type of vibe to them where
they're always arguing and he's always trying
to protect her and she's You know trying to stand
up for herself and all this and all that but
and at the end it's like There are so many times
I wanted to smack her for being jealous Because
it was it just it didn't she as much as I like
Carrie Lowell or Lowell or her we say her name,
you know, I I just don't I Don't buy her as a
bond girl. I just don't I you know, it would
have been interesting and I know this didn't
happen Obviously, it would have been interesting
if she was money penny and not who she was You
know, yeah, I I think she would have played a
really really good money penny But yeah, overall,
I mean... I honestly, between this week and last
week, I honestly don't remember who the pond
girls were in the living daylights. I know that's
bad, but I just don't remember them. Alright,
so anything else on license to kill? No, that's
pretty much all my highlights and lowlights.

license to kill the thing that always comes to
mind is that it's a better movie than it is a
Bond movie a lot of people don't like it because
it takes bond in a different path and he usually
is which I Understand and I think when it tries
to be a Bond movie it usually struggles But when
it tries to stay true to what it was attempting
it's a better film. I overall enjoyed I'd like
to meet the Dalton's era as Bond We only get
two films. I think another one would have been
great without it You know, it's better It's better
to leave us wanting more than give us one more
like Roger Moore and have us wishing he would
just stop So it's better to end it like this
for adult and then continue well past his prime
Yeah, I think it's a it's a solid bond film that
I think people need to Understand what they were
going for and kind of get over there Pidget -holing
of the character of bond and if they can do that
they can see a lot of goodness here Yeah I mean,
with the living daylights, as far as just kind
of like, you know, final thoughts on on on on
Dolphins era, with the living daylights, I I
liked it. I believe I said last week that I felt
it was too long. Same thing with this. I I would
sit here and because I'm because as I'm watching
the movie, I'm also like sometimes I'm getting
clips or maybe I. Stopped at the screen cap an
image or whatever This movie actually took me
three and a half hours to watch it's only a two
hour and something movie But as I was watching
it, I had the same feeling as I did with a view
to a kill Whereas it's taking too damn long Even
though I love license to kill. I think it's great.
It's an amazing movie. I really enjoyed it Just
watching it for you know to prepare for this
this episode and shaking not stirred It just
it just felt like it went on forever Yeah, and
I think a lot of that has to do with how they
over complicate the plot more beyond what they
need to Yeah, so I think they could have got
rid of that. I never felt it went too long I
just felt I got overly complex and kind of it
got in the way of the main story But Bond films
do tend to always run long, like two and a half
hours. Two hours and 20 minutes is usually the
norm. And sometimes I think two hours is enough
when it comes to the Bond movie, because some
of the plot elements, I think, are filler or
unnecessary. And that was the case time and time
again with this film. Yeah. All right. So we
hope you enjoyed the Bond film review here in
M .Y.'s Shaken, Not Stirred series. I wish you
all join us next week when we will be talking
about oh some sort of angelic music needs to
