TT122 The Bondathon Goes Back to 1989: A Deep Dive into Licence to Kill!

The Tailoring Talk Magazine

The Bondathon is finally BACK!!
Get ready to be transported back to the world of 1989 as we rekindle the sparks of the James Bond movie, Licence to Kill, unravel Timothy Dalton's determination to inject realism into the 007 franchise and remember how it felt to be 12, 16 or whatever age you were in 1989!
Journey with us as we navigate through the thrilling plot, appreciate the impeccable clothing, dissect the stellar cast, and marvel at the mind-blowing special effects and stunts.
We don't shy away from the hard-hitting aspects either. Prepare for an exploration of the film's unprecedented violence, the shock of Felix Lutter's tragic fate, and the chilling reality of David Hederson's wife leaving the set due to the intensity of the scenes. But fear not, as we bring light to the dark, laughing at the humorous undertones of characters like Sharky, who is ironically petrified of sharks.
Our voyage doesn't stop there. We delve into the film's portrayal of cults in the late 80s, how the AIDS panic influenced a more chaste Bond and the enigmatic misunderstandings in Licence to Kill.
We pick apart plot points, highlight the standout stunts, and, of course, recall our favorite moments. Join us for a trip down memory lane, and for some, a fresh look at a classic Bond movie.
Don't miss out on our lively and insightful analysis of Bond's universe and beyond!
Enjoy!
