THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS | Brad Whitaker’s mansion 

Probably the first ever final boss fight I've seen where you get a military history lesson thrown in at the same time. Not that I'm complaining!

"He met his Waterloo." Something appropriate about a Briton and a Russian bonding over the death of a Napoleon fanboy.

Whittaker is definitely one of the most underrated Bond villains ever. He's clearly a paranoid megalomaniac with historical figures all in his own likeness at the entrance as well as owning his own personal 'playpen' to play a game of Cat and Mouse with Ben. Fantastic performance by Joe Baker.

PPK in 1987: Pop Gun PPK in 2015: Takes down helicopter

Before Daniel Craig, there was Timothy Dalton. Many people have overlooked this.

Dalton gave the most accurate portrayal of Fleming's character.

Dalton was a brilliant 007. Crying shame he only did two films.

1:55 "You've had your eight! Now I'll have my eighty!" A reference to Dr No's classic "That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six" line?

Anyone else realize that the actor playing Brad Whitaker was also in Goldeneye as a different character?

Dalton's voice is criminally beautiful.

Definitely would have been interesting to see him in GoldenEye.

At 2:24, Bond's face screams, "Are you kidding me?! A real goddamn cannon?!"

Whitaker had the potential to be one of the best Bond villains - a rogue arms dealer who worships warlords - but ultimately there's no real reason for the moviewatcher to fear him. We needed to see his menace, like Stromberg killing off the two scientists or Goldfinger killing the mobsters. Instead there's a vague plot for a bit of cash, and a deal to help kill off the Taliban.

Find yourself a hobby that you enjoy as much as Whitaker loved his.

Brad is correct. Bond was still carrying a PPK, an antiquated gun by 1987, and it's ridiculous that he is still carrying one in 2020 !

FANTISTIC bond movie and a fantastic bond.

Shame Timothy Dalton didn’t get more of a run as Bond. He’s up there as the 2nd or 3rd best Bond in my opinion.

Terrific denouement to the film , even though its short . Whitaker finally showed how dangerous he really was with his weaponry. Nasty guy .

During the production of _The Living Daylights,_ there was the ever looming fear that Bond as a character would start to lose relevancy as we were in the beginning stages of entering a post-Cold War society. Despite Brad Whitaker being a more comical villain than a menacing one, his appearance was actually an important stepping stone in the development of the 007 character as we know him today. Whitaker is the first perfect representation of the "modern" bond villain; he maintains the traditional megalomanic additude and lair full of elaborate traps (like the remote-controlled cannon) that other Bond villains like Goldfinger and Max Zorin did while simultaneously being a figurehead representing society's ongoing issue of advanced military technology and weaponry falling in the hands of criminals, terrorists and dictators. As noted by Whitaker himself, the bullets from Bond's Walther PPK (a gun which has a stopping power once described as being "like a brick through a plate-glass window" in _Dr. No)_ now merely bounce off Whitaker's body armor like foam darts from a Nerf gun. Whitaker even goes one step further and rips on Bond's iconic Smith & Wesson line with a one-liner of his own, further cementing Bond's apparent irrelevancy in our society. Whitaker's taunting is playful and emblematic of the typical Bond villain banter, but it also accurately mirrors critics of the James Bond series at the time unsure about the series' place in the 21st century. Bond was clearly at a disadvantage throughout the entire fight against a technologically superior and nigh-indestructible foe, but against the odds he still managed to pull out a win. While Whitaker is ultimately a lesser villain in the grand scheme of the series, his defeat at the hands of Bond shows why the series will never be irrelevant. Bond won not because he had a bigger or better gun, but instead because of his quick-thinking, ingenuity and a little help from Q-Branch. That is what makes the 007 series special.

I find this scene interesting because Whitaker says that Bond was hiding behind the statue of Wellington which in the 1970 movie titled Waterloo, the actor playing Wellington looks a LOT like Timothy Dalton. At least to me he does.

As a militay history buff i completely approve Whitakers mancave, ok his face on all the warlords is too much for my taste, but hey, nobody is perfect :) Also Whitakers taunts regarding Wellington crack me up, although not mercenaries, roughly half of his British army were in fact Germans. We also have Bluchers (German) Prussian army that came from the flank and sealed the fate of Napoleon. In fact the whole plan of Welington was to "hold on" until Blucher came, otherwise he wouldnt even be there in the first place accepting the Battle. Wellington for sure was kind of a vulture when it came to glory, diminishing the importance of Prussians, and even today Waterloo is seen as a "British victory" not an allied one, similar how many Americans think ww2 was "won by America" while the rest of the Allies were supposedly playing with their thumbs.

0:22 well shit, I’ve never actually *wanted* to be a Bond villain before.

The producers made an error by casting David Hedison instead of John Terry as Felix Leiter in "Licence To Kill" : both episodes that feature Timothy Dalton are overlooked and criminally underrated - entertaining nonetheless!.

First Bond film to have an American main villain

Look at Whittakers body armour when he says " Now I will have my eighty" No shield damage. A few seconds later. He has been hit even though Bond´s just fired his 8

I simultaneously love, and find hilarious, the conversations and references that Bond and Whitaker make about the battles of waterloo and Gettysburg. "Hell, Grant woulda done it."

And that's why you don't disrespect Wellington!

couple of things i've only realized on a recent rewatch: 1) Whitaker's body armor was so good that he didn't feel any of the force impact from Bond's shots. someone get that to John Wick ASAP. 2) Pushkin's little grin to Bond's Waterloo joke - Pushkin totally appreciated that one, especially since Napoleon fell to a force including Russia.

I was today years old when I discovered that Joe Don Baker also played Jack Wade, CIA. I feel so stupid.

Jon Rhys Davies knows how to make an entrance at the last minute... brilliant 😊

Whitaker was actually tuff opponent for Bond. Gun specialist and soldier, with personal fanatics... Great scene

1:49 - that invoked the same feeling as the gold bar bouncing off Oddjob.

I don't get it why didn't bond just aim for the legs instead of wasting bullets against that gun sheild.

0:22 the title of the video should be "A Napoleon fanboy teaches How to spend a Sunday night" ...

A great Bond movie and Whitaker's Mansion had a great layout and all those statues really made it look sharp

Just another normal day for 007

Me: What happened to Whitaker? James Bond: He met his Waterloo.

Whitaker is a self styled 5 star general 🤣🤣🤣

1:20 Whitaker should have Largo’s _Domination_ console from _Never Say Never Again_ so that as an armchair general he can feel the extra 35,000 casualties

One of the best bond scene

For some reason I remember there being more of the toy soldier booby traps than just the one. This is a good ending, though you can tell the movie is wrapping up at this point and it's more of a perfunctory finish than the usual full-scale villain lair invasion.

Nice wolf whistle LoL 😂😂😆😆

Wish Dalton, did Bond, in Goldeneye seeing how dealt. With Famke Janssen character Xenia onatopp.

Brad Whittaker wasn't taken out with a Walther. He was killed by a Philips keychain finder (modified by Q branch, of course).

The most delicious Bond ever. Gorgeous posture.

"You've had your eight. Now I'll have my eighty." A little off, but nice callback >=)

Dalton as his brutal brilliant best.Wish he was doing bond instead of Daniel graig.

A lot of people didn't like this scene but I thought it was clever, it's a shame we didn't have Whittaker do much else in the film to make him more of a menacing bad guy.

ティモシーダルトン、最高❗大好きです😆🎵🎵二作しか出てないのがすごく残念です。

I love how all the guns in his draws are ready and loaded

Least Brad whitiker got a roll in GoldenEye lol

1:48 Blackbeard when he was first released vibes.

This fight always felt like a last minute decision

Such a great ending to a terrific movie that showcased Timothy Dalton in the title role. It clearly was the best way to close out a controversial movie character. Joe Don Baker

Bond always armed with the smaller gun. Yet, always wins.

Dalton at hiis brilliant best-great movie too!

Who remembers Joe Don Baker in GoldenEye?

Just to be clear. Who exactly was the mastermind behind the big evil plan that Bond needed to foil? Was it Koskov who thought up the whole thing and talked Whitaker into taking part? Or was it Whitaker who thought up the whole thing and talked Koskov into taking part?

this scene gives a new meaning to "Where's the d*** remote?"

one of my favourites

Guns with bulletproof shielding around them sound like a no-brainer. Why does nobody make those?

2:01 "You're had your 8, now for my 80." Reference to Dr. No "That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your 6."

Whitaker was right about Meade

That Napoleon statue is FIRE‼️ 🇫🇷🤴👑❤️🔥🙌

This must be one of the only Bond films with an American villain. I bet it tanked at the US box office!

interesting final fight

The shield covers Whitaker's face and only his face, leaving his torso exposed. Bond: *only shoots for the face*

0:58 you burnt up that stuff? toobad Neville, you could have gotten your rocket today.

Excellent scene

"You've had your eight, now I'll have my EIGHTY." Evil Jack Wade of all people flipping one of Bond's first ever on-screen kill lines on him is something I did not expect.

James bond fights a edgy try hard 14 year old in a grown man's body.

1:01 that blank stare in Bond's face. Shit is funny

As a tabletop wargamer and history buff. I love hes house. Hes a nutter for putting up hes face on all those military leaders though. Even on Hitler...

Is it just me, or do Timothy Dalton and Benedict Cumberbatch look kinda similar?

Why is this not in its original ratio?

Whitaker has so many bullets, yet he misses to hit Bond even 1 single time... Ah, movies...

Dr No. Smith & Wesson, you had your six. Living Daylights: You had your 8, now have my 80!

0:22 C&C in a table

The body armor gun in this scene is what I called "motorcycle gun." LOL

2:55 lol. What? [laughs] Ahh.

I love that Joe Don Baker returns in the Brosnan era as a CIA ally. Maybe he survived this and the US spares capital punishment by forcing him to work for them? Hahaha

Bond made uncharacteristic mistake of speaking with the villain rather than shooting on sight. Some other Bonds were more cold-blooded. But it sure feels good to talk a little bit to a vanquished foe. :D Bond's opponents never resist that, ever... I think it would be better to just wound the person first, like in both knees, so that even if he retaliates, he won't be on the similar level again. Bond often gets out of such situations without a scar.

2:57 For some reason l laughed when that statue felled on him

place i remember going to see this at the Manchester Odeon in the summer of 1987 and knew this scene when Bond confronts Whitaker he is going to shot the place up. and yet again the great one liner HE Met His Waterloo

2:55 🤣

1:01 This moment will never cease to make me laugh hard lol.

my favorite movie in the 007 series .. great scene but i hate this blunder with this weapon ....

Up in smoke.

Baker played a villan and a baddie like Charles Gray

they always say that this actor was one of the lesser known bonds because he wasn't that good but from what I see it was plenty good I hate the James Bond now the current one

So Whitaker has a bulletproof uniform and Bond had exploding bullets

love it brilliant scene

Mr. Bond is faster than a bullet.. hmmm

I love movies punches, where everyone gets knocked out with just one :D

Whitaker was right. Grant would have thrown 3-5 more divisions at Lee and probably got them all killed but he would have crushed the Army of Northern Virginia there and then.

3:24 "He met his Waterloo."

Blackbeard be like: 1:47

And that, kids, is why we aim center-mass.....

Sorry to say your pop gun is no match for the latest body armor

Movie mistake - agent in the van says “Over and out” You simply say “Out”
