One of the oft overlooked, yet most devious and dangerous arch-villains in the Bond series is the person who casts the role of Bond.
Without doubt, nothing got as close to killing good old Jimmy as did License to Kill. Poor old Jimmy, he was already as good as dead almost... and no cliffhanger, neckbreaking scene was more lethal, more fatal for Bond than that dolt's performance in the two films the producers were dumb enough to make with him.
Seriously, casting Dalton was nothing short of murder in cold blood... and if Pierce Brosnan didn't happen to come to the rescue, they would have sent poor Jimmy back in a box!
Who let him onto the set?!
I mean, I understand they were going through a crisis, right? The Soviet Union was just going to bits, their main storyline became hardly believable... but c'mon! Dalton? Nah, this was no honest "mistake" - this was premeditated murder is what it was.
