Timothy Dalton ’s darkest kill asJames Bondmight also be one of the most disturbing of the integral enfranchisement . Dalton ’s name had come up up for Bond a few times before he made his debut . He had first been approached forOn Her Majesty ’s Secret Service- but felt he was too young for the purpose at the time - and regard again during different point in the Roger Moore earned run average when the latter weigh not returning . After Pierce Brosnan briefly win the part - but was afterwards forced to exit due to another commitment - Dalton became Bond for 1987’sThe Living Daylights .

Moore ’s 007   run was occupy with light humor and cartoonish action , so Dalton sought to rejoin to the grit of the originalIan Fleming Bond novel . This was underline by his 2d and final adventureLicence To shoot down , where Bond endure rogue to hunt down down a drug lord who maimed his friend Felix Leiter and belt down his married woman . While still being PG-13,Licence To Killis take down as one of the   most unrelenting entries and is filled with blunt   ferocity , including the aforesaid Leiter getting his leg bitten off by a shark .

The movie ’s intensity met with a mixed reaction in 1989 , though it ’s now consider one of the most underrated Bonds . Licence To Killalso contain Dalton ’s darkest kill as the character , and while it ’s often not cited as such , it might be one of the most unpleasant demises in the entire series . This takes position towards the end of the first act , whereDalton ’s Bond - whose favored 007 film wasFrom Russia With Love- infiltrate the aquarium where Leiter was mauled , which contains a maggot incubator used to hide packages of cocain . bond paper rolls up his sleeve to retrieve the drugs when a security guard named Bill ( Jeff Moldovan ) holds him at point . 007 then hurl a handful of maggots in Bill ’s fount , knocks him into the wriggling pile and then closes the draftsman , quip " Bon appetit . "

It ’s later confirmed that the luckless Bill died , and reportedly a scene where his body was recovered from the maggot draftsman was filmed forLicence To Killbut slash . It ’s a particularly cruel luck for such a minorJames Bond characterand he probably died from asphyxiation than being eaten by the maggot , who only feed on drained flesh . This mean there ’s a chance Bill woke up in the squirming , maggot - filled drawer in the pitch dark , which is just an existentially horrifying agency for anyone to spend their last moments .

Still , thisLicence To Killscene is n’t unremarkably highlight as one of the more memorable kills in the series , potential since the " maggots " themselves are really plastic sportfishing chow . Some motility was added to bring on the wiggling effect for the scene , but even then , they just do n’t look   that convincing . Regardless , poor Bill did n’t merit the bleak lot he was dealt in the flick .
