    Caroline Bliss is the best thing from the Dalton era :x

    And now, Carey Lowell...another beautiful but talent free 'actress'. She was pretty decent in some other work though. FIERCE CREATURES comes to mind.

    She's good in this, too, imho... I'd rate her as at least as convincing as most of Bond's leading ladies, though definitely not among the best.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Excelent posts, Gymkata.

    Now the sets and locations start to look Bondian.

    It's a shame she gets so little to do.

    Truman-Lodge is a good 80s yuppy type of sub-villain.

    Get ready for the Dracula hair!!!

    Lowell looks gorgeous in that dress with the short hair.

    Del Torro is the only good henchman, but he's a VERY good henchman.

    Don Stroud as Heller. Loved him in "The Buddy Holly Story"

    That entire Wayne Newton sideline story is totally unnecessary!

    I like Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa in this. He always struck me as someone who would have been excellent at playing an updated version of Tiger Tanaka.

    Yes, he's very good in this. Another example of how Dalton's serious approach enables different kinds of excellent dramatic performance by actors playing secondary characters.

    Soto dealing to Bond may be a very minor reference to Fleming's DAF, where Tiffany is the dealer to Bond.

    Dalton's Dracula hair.

    Talisa is a croupier from heaven. I like Kamen's music for this casino scene.

    He lends soem Comic relief and it's a clever way to explain how Sanchez' operation works.

    Dalton says the line. Very subtly and low key.

    The hair and wardrobe people should have been sacked!

    The old casino employee who reports "the British sucker" dropping serious money at the table is a bit like a DAF type casino character too.

    In fact, probably the quietest delivery ever in any Bond film.

    One of Sanchez' henchmen is Elvis from QoS :))

    "You've got to have a talent that people here don't have." I love Perez's response to Bond's put-down, even though he has no lines.
