Scene of the Week: 007 Truck Driving School

The James Bond films were often a product of their time. For example, when the Blaxploitation cinema craze was going strong in the early 1970s, we got Live and Let Die. When Star Wars changed the movie game forever, we got Moonraker. And when action movies got bigger, bolder and more over the top as the 1980s progressed, we got Licence to Kill.

There’s one scene that I always think of when I think of Licence to Kill and that is the unbelievable tanker truck chase. In fact, I think it was that scene alone that landed Licence to Kill in the #10 spot on our James Bond Countdown last year.

Now I am not sure where James Bond (Timothy Dalton) learned to drive a truck, but I’m guessing it wasn’t at the Hamrick Truck Driving School. Words really can’t do the stunts in this amazing action sequences justice, so do yourself favor and check out this week’s two part Scene of the Week…
