Licence To Kill ~The Death Of Franz Sanchez~

[KOHF34]

That's without a doubt the best death of a Bond enemy in franchise history.

[WhiteDevil006]

2:57

[Machiave11i]

Truman Lodge was so smug and annoying -- I was cheering when Franz lit him up.

[CesMan83]

@Machiave11i

I couldn't help but reference that same actor's performance as "The Jimmy" on "Seinfeld" after getting shot-- "Jimmy's DOWN!"

[Nibelungenherr1876]

Sanchez was one of my favorite villains because he was so realistic. He wasn't just some ax crazy psycho who'd kill just anyone, he just wanted to make money. He was loyal to his friends but also ruthless to his enemies and doublecrossers. Plus it's Robert Davi, how can you not love him?

[semdavidanger]

@Nibelungenherr1876 sanchez was more than that he wanted to build an empire a trademark to be rich and powerful sort of an industrialist

[fanofheadroom1]

he should have done two more he was a great bond

[JoWaSi94]

Love the bond theme and the stunt at 05:50 :)

[Mi436]

Bond is absolutely relentless in this movie.Bad ass mode online baby

[ActionEditor3]

@OliverBond96 I totally agree with you. The recent Daniel Craig movies have been going back to the classic principle, escpecially Casino Royale.

[LordMalice6d9]

Its to bad Timothy Dalton couldn't have been in more Bond films.

[charlieiscool1000]

@LordMalice6d9 Yeah imagine how more brutal that ending fight would have been with Sean bean in goldeneye had Dalton stayed on to do a third

[ZOMBIETH44]

I think Sanchez was one of the few villians to REALLY piss bond off

[LordDyhalto]

I still argue that Dalton was the best Bond.

[reevesdamn]

I don't think Franz had enough time to read the engraving.

[greenseaships]

@reevesdamn But we did ;)

[Lucap1000]

4:41 I would have done that too.

[johnswitchblade1234]

8:54 WE DIE TOGETHER!!

[Tr2u1ck]

@johnswitchblade1234 You can actually see them still on the back of the tanker when it rolls over.

[johnsotherstuff]

@Tr2u1ck oh yeah, i saw them at the back of the truck when it rolled over :)

[Ebb1993isgreat]

Sanchez disliked this video.

[greenseaships]

@Ebb1993isgreat On the floor laughing here.

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@greenseaships Yep.

[kingharris22]

One of my fav bond films

[mba113]

i love the song in the truck!!! stil makes me laugh 1:09

[GavSalkeld]

Too bad its the censored version. The Ultimate Edition DVD is uncut in all its glory :D

[LukeMM95]

Such an Awesome film! I think this is the first Bond film to show Bond actually bleeding and wounded. Dalton was perfect for the role.

[GavSalkeld]

@LukeMM95 Highly underrated film and Bond. I love this, its my favorite Bond film and my favorite Bond actor. Dalton IS Bond.

[MajBlood]

The Tanker chase is one of the greatest Bond action scenes of all fucking time.

[forexrobots212]

The Truman Lodge character seemed to be based on Alex Keaton from Family Ties. When I first saw the movie I didn't remember the same so I just referred to the character as Alex Keaton.

[TheInfernal36]

he probably should have said, "Sanchez, don't shoot jimmy! LET JIMMY LIVE!!!"

[tmaz85]

That stunt was fucking awesome.

[korro7]

4:42, I'd empty my gun into that snivelling little fucker aswell, that'd be satisfying :)

[bizarroeddie1]

I reallI really like the realistic approach Dalton give to the series. It was almost two movies being realistic and with not so absurd sense of reality.

But must say i got pissed with what happens on 5:45.

I really couldn't believe someone thought a scene like this should be on the movie. And it even takes itself seriously, showing his work on the gas pedal.

The only moment i definitely hated on the entire Dalton tenure.

[Invinciblez18]

4:15...that was well calculated

[KOHF34]

Burning him to death with the lighter that the Leiters gave him. True poetic justice.

[tellavision01]

The storyline was a refreshing change for me. Instead of some maniac planning to take over/destroy the world, Bond goes after a major drug dealer who killed his friend. Dalton destroys Sanchez not by using some fancy gadget, but by gaining his trust and planting seeds of doubt in his mind about the loyalty of his own henchmen, and he kills them because of his doubts. Dalton was perfect for this role, he's very good at portraying cold anger and revenge. He was a seriously pissed one-man army.

[rutgerusvan]

ok now let give a detailed review of my own.

I love dalton one of the best bond most handsome too

This scene is just awesome and im addicted to it especially when dalton dodges the missile and comes out on the bonnet.

Truman lodge is a typical american financial consultant , very greedy so sanchez gets irritated by his behaviour and shoots him.Overheads are indirect expenses like salaries of employees so by killing lodge he will have to stop paying them(the joke is reserved for only accountants

[liamjwolves]

No relevance to this scene, but Dario was my favourite character in this film, i think he goes overlooked in the entire Bond franchise.

[Raindito]

4:42 Truman-Lodge must die, cause he was really tight-fisted

[DorianMichaelsIII]

@Raindito I more saw it as 'Truman-Lodge must die because he's a smarmy, annoying little bastard who's been grating on the audience's nerves ever since he showed his nasty little mug onscreen'; even though I could see the merit in his complaints about the writeoff, I still cheered when Sanchez shot the son of a bitch, because I hated Truman-Lodge's character *that* much.

[Raindito]

@DorianMichaelsIII

Oh yes, maybe we cheer together! ;) Yeah, smarmy, that's what he was!!

But, the bond-serial need such characters like Truman-Lodge, isn't it ?

[SlayerDarth]

@Raindito No, Franz said that he was "cutting overhead". The term 'overhead' refers to an ongoing expense that is necessary to keep a business operational, yet it is not attributed with directly generating the profits. I think because of Bond's machinations, Franz distrusted Truman-Lodge and believed that he was attempting to swindle Sanchez out of his own money.

[Raindito]

@SlayerDarth

I distrust Truman-Lodge at the first minute, he is on screen :) Thx for your explanation, you're Bondianer!

[buttnose2]

I love that he stops to show him Felix's lighter first. Ah, poetic justice.

[DorianMichaelsIII]

@buttnose2 And moreover, in that one tiny little scene, it sums up pretty much the point of the entire movie-- WHY did James Bond launch a (pretty much) one-man war on an drug kingpin and his cartel, which, all in all, was its own *country?* And WIN? Simple-- for his friends. THIS, best of all shows why you do NOT make things personal with James Bond-- EVER. Because he will not just thwart your plans, he will END YOU. With *EXTREME* prejudice.

[seanpatrickcain2]

9:43 FTW

[OliverBond96]

One of the best things about the old Bond films, especially this one, is how natural a lot of the scenes are. I mean, go to the stunt at 2:58 for instance. They actually did that stunt, with an actual stunt driver. Nowadays you can guarantee that that stunt as well as most of the others in this film would have been done with cheesy CGI effects, and probably drenched in unnecessary music/SFX. But the fact that there is none here makes those sort of scenes so amazing to watch.

[ultimateguitar553]

@OliverBond96 I totally agree with everything you said. I also love the fact that during all the action sequences from the old Bond flicks be it chases or fights, the camera movements are pretty controlled, the shots coherent without confusing overly fast cutting. Nowadays, in every modern action movie, the camera is constantly shaking, moving fast, quick cuts, because filmakers feel it will get the audience involved in the sequences. Personally I find it really annoying and really distracting.

[gc3k]

@OliverBond96 what about casino royale?

[GavSalkeld]

@OliverBond96 Totally agree man, youre so right

[greenseaships]

@OliverBond96 OMG.... This is considered "old" now??

I went to see this when it came out. It can't be.... OLD, can it? 0_o

[kebl0826]

@OliverBond96 Couldnt agree more. Nowadays they overdo the music on actions scenes so badly it kills the movie. The last great bond film was LTK.

[egb50000]

The thing I like about License to Kill is that, it did capture the spiritual essence of an Ian Fleming Bond novel if it was made Fleming himself. Timothy was the definitive Fleming Bond, the relentless and exhausted agent.

[BarrieBusesandTrains]

Great! No assholes have the dislike button! TERRIFIC!

[Lufttygger306]

@SaulAdamTJ1234 He'll be missed.

[Mijaseev]

I have this soundtrack on cassette, but no Mexican trucker music to be found...lol

[Abasuto]

Sanchez always lectured that it wasn't about money, it was all about loyality. He was killed by a man who shared the same belief.

[seanpatrickcain]

7:12 XDXD

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

Loved the subtle Bond theme at 0:21

[MiniOffiz95]

4:43, lol xD

[Lucap1000]

a mistake at 3:02

the trucker is near the truck, but in the next shot, he isn't there at all!

[IAmKrow]

I love a story about a man who is usually an amoral bastard who goes around screwing lots of women and carrying out her Majesty's orders and then, when somebody touches (and hurts) what's dearest to him, goes berserk and leaves a trail of violence and blood behind him. Good movie.

[ps3mad007]

One of the best fights in one of the best films in the bond series featuring one of the best bonds ever!

[MegaVergan]

i think Franz Sanchez had one of the best deaths by far in the history of James Bond!

[IAmKrow]

@MegaVergan

I agree. I would've enjoyed a few more screams of agony on Sanchez's part, but yeah, it was a good thing to see.

[MegaVergan]

@IAmKrow I also thought Gustav Graves had a good death to!

[IAmKrow]

@MegaVergan

Thanks a lot, I'll check it out, I still haven't seen that movie

[ChronicFallacy]

This shows that you don't fuck Bond's friends. I like when he goes rogue

[PKRockin7]

Why didn't he just slice him in half at the end?

[Lucap1000]

@PKRockin7, yeah, it's odd. It's a classic movie cliche where the villain, instead of killing the good guy, talks to him! I mean, it's not useful, if you kill him, you don't need to talk to him, he got him right there, instead, he talks...

[SFNDMK]

@PKRockin7 because sanchez wanted to find out why would bond who he thought he trusted and was considered a friend would go to all the trouble to kill him and destroy his empire sanchez is pretty big on loyalty and betrayal so you could say curiosity killed the cat bond knew this and played it to his advantage hence his death

[pacemoy]

My favorite part of LTK -- I love how Bond is relentless here, especially crawling out on the hood of the truck after Sanchez. Timothy, you are the best Bond!
