Bond ambushes him with a bomb concealed behind a bust of Wellington, which knocks Whitaker down over a scale model of the Battle of Waterloo. In the film The Living Daylights, arms dealer Brad Whitaker ( Joe Don Baker) stalks James Bond ( Timothy Dalton) through a military museum in his home, wearing seemingly impenetrable body armor and carrying an assault rifle that easily outguns Bond's pistol.
The phrase "to meet your Waterloo" or some variation thereof, has entered the English language as a phrase signifying a great test with a final and decisive outcome, generally one resulting in failure and exposing vulnerability in something or someone who had, before then, seemed unbeatable.
