The two Dalton movies were entertaining. Shame the man takes so much flak.

You're American, you're meant to like them! That's the point of the Dalton films!
Well Dalton was an americanised version of James Bond, maybe it was a greater blow to England, Bond was really the british hero up till then (and about the only decent one, it has to be said). Americanising him sort of killed the dream.
Actually Brosnan was almost the guy to do 'The living Daylights' (Dalton's first film), he was just finishing a TV series and Dalton was busy on another film. Brosnan was scheduled to finish first but then the script-writers came up with 5 more episodes to his program so he was held up and Dalton got the role. It's interesting to think how Brosnan would have done if he had landed the Americanised script.
