    GIF of Dalton as he falls scared down the prison pillar when being attacked with the letter spike. That is hilarious. We must have that.

    Gymkata, please! I could watch it then all day!

    Kamran, the flawed romantic hero in this film who, if this was real history, might later have led the Taliban! An example of how the film-makers attempts to be topical at the time, now date the movie badly.

    The image in the West of Afghan guerillas has changed somewhat since 1987 …. :v

    The costume department actually got clothes from Afghanistan for the Afghans in the movie.

    Music "Mujahadin And Opium" on the original release. Their spelling. Yes, resembles some of OP.

    This is a bit too close to one of the Rambo sequels, where Stallone is pitched against Russians in Afghanistan.

    Art, like Jeroen, pretty much became a designated 'bad guy' after this.

    He was excellent in the version of "The Wolfman" starring Benecio del Toro- also with fellow Bond (well, sort of) vet Max von Sydow.

    Yeah, that’s a bad weepy scene.

    Some Mujahedin were not Islamic fundamentalists. The Northern alliance is an example of this.

    This scene with Kamran hosting and mentioning his Oxford days sort of echoes Hussain in Egypt in TSWLM luxuriating in his harem and going on about being an old Cambridge pal of Bond's... but this is done in very different style.

    “Means beautiful in Afghan”...Afghan is not a language Mr Bond

    The riding scenes are beautifully shot

    Exactly. Seems like Rambo is the one that borrowed from this.

    Overly complicated plot mechanics
  • JTMJTM Posts: 3,027MI6 Agent
    Say what you want about this movie but I really like this second half! Well maybe up until the Whittaker finale.
