If there was any iteration of James Bond who didn’t stick around for long enough to truly put their stamp on the character and cement an everlasting legacy, it was Timothy Dalton. The actor only had two appearances as 007, and while that was more than enough to secure the “most underrated” tag for eternity, the world may not have been ready for The Living Daylights.

The end of the Roger Moore era had descended into high camp farce territory, and with the creaking star finally hanging up the tux for good, a reinvention was sorely needed. In came the suave Dalton, who possessed a piercing gaze and a hint of danger that we hadn’t seen from Bond in a long time. Unfortunately, the tonal shift was a little too jarring for some.
