The Living Daylights 1987 MGM
Whitaker's Assault Rifle: When Bond confronts Whitaker, the agent is armed with his trust Walther PPK. Whitaker, on the other hand, has this rifle which includes a bullet-proof face shield and can take up to eighty rapid-repeat rounds of ammunition. Bond gets the upper hand though... (see "Philips Keyring Finder") Explosive Milk Bottles: When Necros infiltrates the safehouse, he does so as a milkman. It is fitting, therefore, that is means of terror should be through these explosive milk bottles. He simply throws then around the house to distract the attentions of the security officers while he deals with Koskov.
Conclusion:
Back from the brink, somewhat, after the disappointment of this section in
A View To A Kill. The explosive milk bottles are brilliant and the keys/keyring
supplied by 'Q' are also very good. We are introduced to a series of
weapons, like Bond's and Whittaker's rifles, which is in keeping with the
arms dealing plot, but their use is not superfluous - the scene involving
Bond's sniper's rifle is very involving. No one has mentioned the Aston
Martin Volante's gadgets!

The Facts
|
Armed with razor-sharp instincts and a license to kill, James Bond battles diabolical arms merchants in this thrilling, lightning-paced adventure. Timothy Dalton brings energy, humor, and ruthless cunning to his performance as Agent 007.
After Bond helps Russian officer Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé) make a daring defection to the West, the intelligence community is shocked when Koskov is abducted from his remote hiding place. Bond leaps into action, following a trail that leads to the gorgeous Kara (Maryam d'Abo), who plays Bond as easily as she plays her Stradivari Cello (Lady Rose). As they unravel a complex weapons scheme with global implications, they are forced into hair-raising chases, a riveting jailbreak, and an epic battle in the Afghanistan desert with tanks, airplanes, and a legion of freedom fighters on horseback.
Featuring high-tech gadgetry including Bond's sleek Aston-Martin automobile (outfitted with high-powered lasers and a rocket engine), it's a slam-bang action extravaganza with unbelievable stunts, ingenious plot twists, and sensuous encounters of overwhelming passion.
Vehicles - The Living Daylights (1987)
1986
Aston Martin Volante: New
Bond, new car... Timothy got what Roger didn't - his own Aston, if only for this
film. The car is used a lot in the film, and is used firstly to help Bond and
Kara escape the KGB in Bratislava. The car employs a laser beam in the
front-left hubcap, which is saws a pursuing police car from its chassis, and
spiked tyres for the frozen lake scene. It also has a police-band radio,
bullet-proof windows, rockets behind the front fog lamps (this is more cunning
and real than the stinger missiles placed behind the headlights of the BMW 750
used by Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies), and a rocket booster. Like the DB5 of
Goldfinger, this car houses the controls to all this gadgetry in the arm rest,
but new is the visual display which appears on the windscreen. A self-destruct
mechanism is also available, like Bond's
We
see the car in two guises; as a hardtop and as a convertible. This change is
explained by 'Q' who "winterises" the car (adding the roof). The
hardtop is the Aston Martin Volante whereas the convertible was in fact the
Vantage. As a side-note, the then chairman of the Aston Martin Company (Victor
Gauntlett) was offered a job as a KGB General, presumably that of Pushkin as
Walter Gotell was too ill to continue the Gogol role. It was claimed by Cubby
Broccoli that he looked just the part!
Felix Leiter's Yacht: Bond is brought to Leiter's yacht in typical Leiter style - Bond is not told where he is being taken until he sees Leiter for himself - by two ladies, also working for the CIA. Aboard, besides Bond's ally, is a panoply of radio equipment all at Bond's request - and is seen in use later as Bond makes a lone raid on Whittaker's place in Tangier.
Conclusion: A fairly minimal showing but the return of the Aston Martin makes up for that. Dalton gets a new Bond symbol, which is truly worthy of the name, with all the gadgetry he needs to get out of the situation. The yacht is less impressive but does help Bond at the end of his mission though. Little else to say really.
These are most of the Bond girls throughout the series and how old they were when their movies were made. A "Bond girl", for my purposes is a beautiful female character other than Miss Moneypenny who either makes love with 007, whether this is explicit or assumed (eg we don't see Dink sleep with Bond but we can reasonably assume she did) or is otherwise important to the plot. For continuity's sake, I have measured their ages from the premiere date against their birthdays.

Walther
Sniper's Rifle: In
the sequence subsequent to the titles, Bond sets up the scene for the
"defection". He uses this weapon to seek and eliminate any KGB
snipers who could be on guard against the coup. The gun houses an infrared
scope through which Bond identifies the sniper to be the novice Kara - he
then misses on purpose as a result. The gun can use either soft-tipped or
(007's preference) the steel-tipped bullets.
General
Pushkin's Watch: During
a tense scene in a Tangier hotel room, where Bond is trying to get
information out of Pushkin, the General starts a silent distress signal by
pressing one of his watch buttons. This is to alert his bodyguard that he
is in trouble. Bond catches Pushkin in the act and manages to distract the
incoming bodyguard by presenting him with Pushkin's topless wife. He
capitulates easily leaving Bond in full control of the situation...
