The Living Daylights.

Hey driver
wherere we going? I swear my nerves are showing

Set my hopes up way too high
livings in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain

Of hundred thousand people Im the one they frame.
Ive been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness
let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.

Alright
hold on tight now
its down
down to the wire

Set your hopes up way too high
livings in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away

Hundred thousand changes
everythings the same.
Ive been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness
let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
living daylights
living daylights.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away

hundred thousand people
Im the one they frame
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.

Living daylights
- set your hopes up way too high
Living daylights
- livings in the way we die -
Living daylights
- set your hopes up way too high -
Living daylights
- livings in the way we die

The Living Daylights (1987) is the fifteenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the first to star Timothy Dalton as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film's title is taken from Ian Fleming's short story "The Living Daylights."

The beginning of the film (following the title sequence) resembles the short story, in which Bond has to act as a counter sniper to protect a defecting Soviet. The film begins with Bond investigating the deaths of a number of MI6 agents. The Soviet defector, Georgi Koskov, informs him that General Pushkin, head of the KGB, is systematically killing Western operatives (British and American spies). When Koskov is seemingly snatched back by the Soviets, Bond follows him across Europe, Morocco and Afghanistan.

The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli, his stepson Michael G. Wilson, and his daughter Barbara Broccoli. The Living Daylights was well received by most critics, and was also a financial success, grossing $191.2 million worldwide.

It was the last film to bear the title of a story by Ian Fleming until 2006's Casino Royale, 19 years later.

@Astroranagun

Exactly. You're right, in the U.S. market there is the Blu Ray version is not the case in the rest of the world. Congratulations!

Timothy Dalton by far the most underrated bond actor...my joint favourite with connery

[MyMusic7th]

@ChrisBeale2008

I agree, though in part it was his fault because many times he rejected the role of Bond, he sinned to have too much humility in refusing to replace the Connery's potential.

wow, old fashioned glasses can make even the most beautiful people look old and plain!

@PPX14

Yes, I think it's the rayban classic model, which is still fashion in 2011. The retro style fits well in many people, specially nice women like the one you've showed us.

[GehlenBND]

No, it`s the best Bond film ever!

[TheBlackWhirlwind]

Perhaps the best opening sequence to any Bond film?

@Werner312 The hardtop model shown in this clip is the 1986 Volante. Both cars were 1986 models. The 1986 convertible seen in Act One is the Vantage.
