@Tokopol I like Dalton, I think he really is underrated, and he was certainly better than Daniel Craig, but his portrayal wasn't perfect. Dalton was very good at getting down the darker, more psychologically interesting aspects of Bond but he lacks the gentlemanly, Cary Grant-like veneer. Pierce Brosnan on the other hand has that veneer, being (arguably) Cary Grant's modern equivalent. If you combined the two, you'd certainly have a Bond that was truly perfect and close to the books.

[Tokopol]

@MrLunitunz I'm partial to Dalton as the perfect Bond, but you're generally correct.

[MrLunitunz]

@Tokopol They did re-write the script. And they did want Brosnan. But they wanted Dalton for a long time, as far back as OHMSS.

Thing is, Brosnan was/is the perfect Bond, I wonder what kind of Bond movie it would've been if he'd done it when he was the perfect age to do it. But Dalton did his background research in reading the books, he had creative input in as much as his condition was that the films be more like the books. Any actor who's that dedicated should be cherished. Both are great.

[Tokopol]

@MrLunitunz It's my understanding that The Living Daylights was specifically written with Brosnan in mind (gadgets, jokes, etc.), but after it was already completed they realized NBC wouldn't let him out of his obligations for Remington Steele. In any event, they modified it slightly for Dalton, and it turned out great as far as I'm concerned.

She is so hot.

Interestingly enough: apparently Ian Flemming, a relative of Sir Christopher Lee, wrote James Bond with Lee in mind. During WW2, Lee had worked with the secret service - however, what exactly he did still hasn't been disclosed ... :P
