Licence To Kill (1989)

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler and Brendan Duffy are joined by Agent Scott of the SpyHards podcast to take a deep dive into the making of 1989's 'Licence To Kill'.

Timothy Dalton's second and final 007 movie was a marked departure from the established Bond formula, and by design too. We explore why this film looks and feels different to its predecessors, including its darker tone, changes to its writing team, and new studio.

The episodes also covers the film's supporting cast including Robert Davi, Carey Lowell and Talisa Soto, as well as the returning faces from Desmond Llewellyn and Robert Brown to Dalton himself.

We also take a look at the film's production from the locations to the action set pieces.

Finally we look at how the film's marketing was bungled, and crashed at the US box office.

Stick around to the end to find out where we ranked it compared to the other Bond films we've covered so far.
