Product Description

Amazon.ca

The Blu-ray release of Licence to Kill contains a mixed bag of bonus material, some of which is quite good but little of which takes much advantage of the format's potential. Of the items that do, perhaps the most interesting is an interactive feature (called "007 Mission Control") that allows viewers to jump to specific moments or lines (if you want to hear star Timothy Dalton introduce himself as "Bond… James Bond," here's easy access); there's also a 32-minute behind-the-scenes featurette that includes some new interviews in Blu-ray (with director John Glen, actor Benicio Del Toro, and others--but not Dalton), which appear to have been added to previously existing material. There are two audio commentary tracks, one with Glen and cast members and the other with producer-writer Michael G. Wilson and some of the crew. Elsewhere, Glen introduces about 10 minutes' worth of deleted scenes, while other, shorter featurettes offer insight into some of the film's many effects sequences; a bit about specially made Kenworth trucks that could perform a wheelie or tilt heavily to one side without falling over is quite interesting. Gladys Knight's performance of theme song "If You Asked Me To" is here as well. Overall, though, the features navigation menu is rather clumsy, with the result that gaining access to some of them is more trouble than it's worth. --Sam Graham

Excellent film! High graphic specially when playing on a blueray DVD player. High quality! Great film for a bond movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sadly this is not the horrifically wonderful Musical version, Jan 4 2004
This review is from: Jack the Giant Killer (DVD)
The obviously over-dubbed musical numbers which elevate this film into a comedy classic are sadly missing from this DVD version. The insipid acting, asinine dialogue, goofy clay monsters, even the appearence of a chipanzee. All this hilarious comic potential seems wasted without the "positive" and "inspirational" musical numbers. I mean come on people, "We have failed master, we have failed" it's a freaking classic! Wake up!
Looks like it's back to that worn VHS copy of the musical version I taped off T.V. (musical version = five stars)

1.0 out of 5 stars The non-musical version is godawful, Nov 29 2003
By 
Matthew (Brooklyn, NY, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack the Giant Killer (DVD)
I am a huge fan of the musical version of this film. It is so deliciously bad that it completely won me over... I found it completely captivating--I was horror-struck and yet completely fascinated by the songs--a curious concoction of faux-opera (think "kill the wabbit")--interspersed with the cornball melodrama. I have no idea why the musical version has fallen into disrepute... the humorless non-musical version will bore you to tears--it is no fun at all. Until they release the MOST EXCELLENT musical version of this film, do not buy this!
