License to Kill/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Sharkey. There was nothing particularly bad about him. He just seem to be thrown in there, like someone Bond & Felix had known for years. Since they had already brought back the same actor who had played Leiter in Live and Let Die, why not just make the character Quarrel, Jr. instead?
    • I think killing off two Quarrels in the series might have been a bit much....
  • The ending. Felix should've died, instead of chatting with Bond as if he was as good as new.
    • Exactly. He lost a leg and his wife had just been raped and murdered, yet he was as cheerful as ever.
    • I always assumed the nurse gave him way too much morphine that day.
      • It's called "putting on a brave face".
  • Okay, someone needs to change the name of the page. It's "License to Kill"
    • No, it's "Licence to Kill" -- two C's, no S's. That's how the movie's own titles spell it. It's also the correct spelling in Commonwealth English.
      • There is also an early Denzel Washington film called "License to Kill" (note the spelling).
