Both movies are so different and I love them both for those differences.

Back to the pipeline thing. I mean, someone has said I should have researched it after I saw it.
Now this film came out in 1987, before the invention of the internet. So to research this thing, assuming I could be motivated anyway, I'd have to head along to my library and ask if they had any books on the subject, or maybe look up on a microfiche or whatever it is, one of the newspapers for the last few years.
You could not know about Fort Knox as a kid, but Mr Goldfinger helpfully explains it to you in the film.
Furthermore, since TLD - and perhaps I've led a sheltered existence - I have seen and read nothing whatsoever about this pipeline. Maybe there was that thing about Putin turning it off in revenge for interference in Ukraine. Might that be the same one? But all the same I've never seen a photo of it anywhere at all in any newspaper, and I don't restrict myself to the red tops. So is it mythical, just as Ken Adam's design of Fort Knox was?

Well here's a link on the pipeline that I posted above:

With all due respect, it seems as though you're mistaking the film's shortcomings with your own shortcomings - that being curiosity and patience. Personally, when I watch a film and don't understand something/something catches my attention, I always seek out to know more about it. But that's just me.
One could argue that the difference between Goldfinger and The Living Daylights is the targeted audience. I'd say TLD is targeted at a more adult audience, whereas GF is more family friendly, hence more inclined to explain everything.

The only problem I have with the pipeline is the fact that somewhere along the way it makes a hard 90 degree bend that the pig couldn't make in any way. So Koskov should still be stuck in that bend in the pig.

I concur. I also think the pipeline is explained enough in the film. "Great Soviet achievement. Piping natural gas into western Europe." What else do we need to know? The pig is explained as well. It all makes perfect sense within the film without the need to research.

Agreed. Plus, it's a very minor plot point really, isn't it? Unlike Fort Knox, which is the finale of the film.
Agree with Peppermill, lol, that pipeline model is terrible! Little Niggle! )

Ha yes! I always wondered if the capsule was flexible at the centre. )
