licence to kill

Felt so bad for Felix in LTK…

Fish Food Food

In Licence To Kill (1989) as Bond investigates Leiter’s shark attack at Milton Krest’s warehouse, 007 tosses a security guard into a fish food drawer to a seemingly horrifying death. “Food for the fish food.”

This scene has a particular significance for me, as it’s the earliest memory I have of watching a James Bond movie in my life. I can distinctly remember this scene during a live ABC or NBC broadcast of this movie in the early 1990s. I also distinctly remembering the pity I felt for the security guard, banished to die by tiny bites in a claustrophobic drawerful of menacing-looking fish food.

At the same time, I can remember wiggling and eventually pulling a tooth out of my mouth. I was six or seven years old.

Regardless, below are all of the instances where “James Bond Will Return” appears in the credits from all of the movies:
