9.9/10.My second favorite of the Bond movies.Timothy Dalton's great in his second outing as he matches wits with Robert Davi.I would've given it a 10 but I didn't really like either love interest of Talisa Soto or Carey Lowell.They both have a connection to one of the worst TV franchises ever, Law and Order, and they really aren't that good.Still it's great fun with Dalton proving he's as capable as his predecessors playing 007 James Bond.My three favorites are in this order:1.On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969 George Lazenby) 2. License To Kill (1989 Timothy Dalton) 3. Dr No (1962 Sean Connery).
More mistakes in Licence to Kill
Franz Sanchez: Señor Bond, you got big cojones. You come here, to my place, without references, carrying a piece, throwing around a lot of money... but you should know something: nobody saw you come in, so nobody has to see you go out.
Trivia: When Sanchez is chasing Bond in the trucks, and when he starts to shoot Bond with the Uzi, listen to the ricochet off the bullets. They sound like the James Bond theme tune.
More questions & answers from Licence to Kill
Chosen answer: "License to Kill" is partly based on the novel "Live and Let Die" and the short story "Hilderbrand Rarity". However, it is the first Bond film not titled after a book. While "The Spy Who Loved Me" shares its name with a book, it was the first Bond film not based on a book (though subsequently, there was a novelization of the film.) "Goldeneye" is the first film not based on a book AND not titled after a book.
