Not only is the climactic tanker truck sequence probably my favorite action sequence in the whole franchise with countless great moments, the way Sanchez is finally defeated has to rank up there as one of the greatest villain deaths of all time.

He delivers every line in this movie with the right amount of gravitas with dashes of dark humor (Ex. It’s such a shame that this ended up being Dalton’s second and last stint as the character because it really felt like he was really nailing down his own unique interpretation of the character.

I know this tends to be the most divisive entry in the series but it is my personal favorite of the classic series because it’s James Bond out for REVENGE!!! Darker and more violent than previous entries, the stakes are smaller than by the franchises’ usual (Bond going all Narcos attempting I know this tends to be the most divisive entry in the series but it is my personal favorite of the classic series because it’s James Bond out for REVENGE!!!
