Well, at least this comment departs from the stale Miami Vice comparisons. Not that it makes it any more valid.LTK was more Beverly Hills Cop than Bond.

Also, Dalton's Bond is probably the last time we see the character as an unapologetic smoker.
Now I definitely have to go research what Dalton's plans for Bond were that never reached fruition.

Dalton is one of my favorites, too. I wish he could have entered the series at an earlier point. Here's a good analysis of his work, contrasting it with Fleming's writing: http://www.hmss.com/films/memory/I just rewatched the Dalton era Bonds for the first time since I can remember and was really surprised how great they were. LTK in particular was angry and emotional, gruesomely violent in places, lacking in many of the typical Bond cliches, and well paced, the editing in particular really impressed by just how lean it moved. Looked great too. It had a take no prisoners feel to it that Bond audiences perhaps just weren't ready for that close to the Roger Moore era.
