I've just remembered "Yeah – looks like he came to a dead end" which was a bit naff but I think in the main Dalton's quips are often delivered in a much more throwaway manner than is usual for Bond. I know I've mentioned "At least someone's on the case" as being a favourite because of itsunder-the-radar coolnessI know Robert Davi's take on the lack of Bond one liners was that he could have them instead – it definitely pays off.I think it's more a case of him appreciating the gesture but knowing it's never going to happen. And in fact Felix mentions that Bond was married doesn't he? So it's bringing in all thebackstory too.I like the ending though. I love Bond headbutting Dario – not sure even Daniel Craig's Bond has been as vicious. And all the stuff with the tanker and the end fight with Sanchez — and the payoff is brilliant. Another very clever aspect is Bond infiltrating Sanchez's inner circle.One thing I remember about the response tois that people were saying how American it all was, comparing it to. I can recall those films fairly well but I'm not sure the criticism was valid. Michael Kamen obviously is the link between the two franchises and his score is very good but doesn't show his full talent. I like the opening gunbarrel music as it's, sensibly, very different to the norm and tells the audience that this won't be a standard Bond film.
