I just noticed something interesting about Bond's PPK: notice how it has a small engraving of an eagle on the slide. This, along with a few other indicators, means that the gun that was used by Timothy Dalton was a PPK that was manufactured in Nazi Germany. Interesting, huh? -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 05:17, 6 March 2010 (UTC) | I just noticed something interesting about Bond's PPK: notice how it has a small engraving of an eagle on the slide.

It's been over twenty years since I've seen this movie, and it wasn't until today when I noticed this: Mullens (the DEA guy who isn't Grand L Bush) is played by Rafer Johnson. THE Rafer Johnson. The same Rafer Johnson who won a silver medal in the decathalon in the 1956 Summer Olympics, and a gold in the 1960 Summer Olympics, and thus, at one time, arguably the greatest athlete on the planet.

Should this be moved to "Licence to Kill" since that's the title on imdb and on the DVD cover? --Ben41 09:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Regardless of where they put this page I think it should be emphasized that the "Stinger" missles in this film are obvious mock-ups. It looks like the reloads are treated like RPG or bazooka rounds instead of the sealed launch tubes which are normally issued. That and the launcher, when deployed, lacks the cage of the Stinger's seeker. --Charon68 15:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Bond's PPK
I just noticed something interesting about Bond's PPK: notice how it has a small engraving of an eagle on the slide. This, along with a few other indicators, means that the gun that was used by Timothy Dalton was a PPK that was manufactured in Nazi Germany. Interesting, huh? -Gunman69 05:17, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
