    Poor Tim. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

    Oh, I was meaning more generally.

    This whole part of the movie where Bond uses his position opportunistically to set up Krest is good.

    "You're not going to believe who this guy is..."

    Yeah, and I'm Dick Tracy :-)

    The whole strategy from Bond of divide and conqour is very good writing.

    Zerbe is excellent.

    The sub-plot involving Heller and how "there's more to this than your personal vendetta".

    The story is carefully thought about. Michael G Wilson was essentially doing the writing himself after Maibaum had to drop out because of the Writers' Guild strike. Maybe that works to the film's advantage?
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Krest's death in the "Hildebrand" story is equally nasty (Dalton's voice for that word) though quite different.

    The blow-up doll scene isn't nearly as bad as the one in LALD, but cutting away from Krest and instead just shown the blood spalshing on the window would have been more effective.

    It was edited in early video releases

    I love this scene where Krest is squirming through an unconvincing explanation to Sanchez of what actually occurred. (He picked up from the sea one of the Colombian pilots. He should have got that guy to corroborate his account rather than turning to Lupe.)

    Though he hasn't taken a credit, I'm sure that he's contributed to the scripts of every Bond film since.

    Poor old Q gets stood down a couple of times, not just once. He looks quite sad about it. I'm so glad he was able to come back for the first three Brosnan films.

    Q saves the scene from the terrible acting of Soto

    Lupe's dress may be the best costume in LTK :D

    I saw this theatrically as well. Based upon the box office returns, I'm one of the few who did so.

    Why, Gymkata, I didn't think you were old enough! I saw this at its Scottish premiere

    The look on Pam‘s face when Lupe tells her that Bond was with her.

    Priceless :D

    The face off between Pam and Lupe raised a real laugh in the cinema in 89, as I remember.

    Love the temple. Not a set, it's real, but it looks so like a Bond set.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    The "Meditation centre" is a find. A really good location.

    I find the temple setting cheap and laughable.
    From there the film goes comedy and cartoon.

    The facemasks look like what we're all supposed to be wearing now.

    Putting on the face masks... resonates today.

    Mixing cocaine and petrol is agreat idea from the writers that works well for the plot.
