You know sometimes movies must be more realistic not for kids... personally me, I do not like Bond-style movies… the main personage is too much a hero… it’s unbelievable, just like a fairy tale… You know sometimes movies must be more realistic not for kids…

Tula had no speaking lines or real interaction with Bond, like most speculate in rumors.

Gone are the nuclear war and world domination threats and in place is a plot of revenge on the drug baron who has maimed Bond's best friend for life (quite a similar plot to the 1984 "Miami Vice" pilot). Sanchez was straight out of "Miami Vice" as a bad guy (and not Bond). Although a sideline, the Jimmy Swaggart-type preacher scene in this film was also dealt with in an episode of "Miami Vice" ("Send money .. Amen"). Dalton portrayed Bond (Sonny Crockett?) very well (I guess if this had been a Roger Moore Bond, the "Miami Vice" theme music would be included!). Overall, a good film but think "Miami Vice" and not Bond (Colin Farrell ended up doing the big screen version of "Miami Vice" officially but this can be seen as a dry run). This is not the first Bond to "borrow" from popular series or films, though. "Live and let die" was pure "Shaft" and "Moonraker" was more or less "Star wars". Dalton's previous Bond was more or less "Rambo" while "The world is not enough" even was influenced by "Titanic"!! “Licence to kill” from 1989 is a combination of “Miami Vice” and James Bond (in the series of “Miami Vice”, the episodes “Freefall” and “French Twist” also combined elements of both these franchises as well) also with some “Indiana Jones” elements.

Timothy Dalton sorely lacked the charm, sophistication and campy comic edge needed for the James Bond character, and saddled with a patchy script and indifferent direction, 'Licence To Kill' emerges as one of the worst movies in the canon. The villains walk away with all the credit. Robert Davi and Benicio Del Toro really are sinister (gangling, psycho Del Toro could easily have been another Red Grant figure), but utterly wasted in a 'Bond movie' which sought to emulate a TV show (unfortunately not to the point of utilising 'Miami Vice's revolutionary music video-influenced direction). Even Wayne Newton's well-realised serio-comic 'evangelist' could have used more screen time, if only to inject much-needed comic relief. James Bond may be working as a loose cannon for the sake of his own revenge, and Sanchez may be mixed up in Central American politics, but ultimately it's a sordid little cops-and-robbers story. James Bond as a vice cop? Frankly, as a premise that's a little underwhelming. The incompetently staged nightclub fight scene was straight out of the 1967 'Casino Royale' and, along with the poor story-flow and lack of suspense, represents five-time Bond director John Glen's franchise nadir. Hard to believe the same guy had once directed a taut thriller like 'For Your Eyes Only'. The two Bond Girls were unengaging (except when Carey Lowell is all dolled up for the nightclub scenes, when she suddenly becomes a convincing character), and the final 'big rigs' truck stunt sequence is fine, but worked better in its original setting of 'Mad Max 2'. Last Bond movie for six years, and not hard to see why. Nice opening theme, though. In which the Bond franchise plays ‘Miami Vice’ and loses almost everything.
