Several people are crushed by debris and shot. Bond kills several people in one scene, one of them by throwing maggots in a man's face and throwing him into a maggot tank where he suffocates, one of them by pushing him into an electric eel tank where he dies by electrocution, and the final one by pushing him into a shark tank where he is partially eaten alive on screen, with blood covering the water and money. A man is hit in the face with a rifle and his car drives off the road and explodes, we see his bloodied corpse for a few seconds. People are often shot point blank with guns, often with blood spurting out far away. A man's heart is cut out off screen, and his lover is whipped and beaten. It has a considerable amount of gore compared to it's other features. Violence(5/5): Quite brutal, and easily the most violent James Bond film ever released. Lots of c*caine is seen throughout as it is part of the villains plan, sometimes being used. A man kills himself with a cyanide capsule. A woman dances seductively in a thong.ĭrinking, Drugs, And Smoking(3/5): Lots of cigarette smoking, tobacco chewing, and drinking. Sex(3/5): Implied sex and partial nudity. License To Kill is a 1989 Bond movie directed by John Glen and starring Timothy Dalton, Robert Davi, Talisa Soto, Carey Lowell, and Benicio del Toro. Overall, Licence To Kill is brilliant, dark and gory but nothing too distressing. Language: 3/5 More cursing than usual Bond.ĭrugs: 3/5 Story revolves around a drug lord, drugs are shown and made. The villain is killed (SPOILERS) in brutal fashion, set on fire, screaming then blowing up. The henchman is brutally killed by being crushed in the gears of a drug factory, with blood spraying on the walls, and his guts, bones and insides are shown falling out. A characters head explodes, the villain traps him in an airlock, brutally putting more pressure on it until the victim starts getting a nosebleed, and his head then inflates and explodes, blood and guts splatter on the window (I think the splattering is removed in the US PG-13 Cut.) And there is emphasis on the victim feeling pain (Screaming "That hurts!" And "Please stop it hurts!") Which may be disturbing to young Bond fans. Two characters are killed by a shark, one particularly brutally, with screaming and bone-crunching heard. An action-packed Tanker chase towards the end (One of the best scenes in the whole series.) During that scene there are violent explosions, characters are swiftly killed with blood shown. (Everything is shown, including the woman's face of pain and crying). The opening scene also includes a sadistic scene of the villain whipping his girlfriend with a rope. The opening is an action-packed shootout, with an implied scene of torture and death (The villain's crew takes a shirtless man and slowly rips out his heart using a knife, but it is all shown offscreen.) You know this is a whole different Bond movie from the gunbarrel alone. The gore may be too much for young Bond fans to handle, and this time they went for a "15" rating in the UK, and it was even gonna be "18" at first. While the violence is as expected for an average Bond movie, the film is the darkest, hardest, and edgiest Bond movie ever made. In this review I'm talking about the UK 15-Rated version as the PG-13 Version in USA has some reduced scenes of blood. Licence To Kill is one of the best Bond movies by todays standards. They're narcotics agents from another country, and when a British official tries to take him, Sanchez attacks them and when he sees Bond is a captive, he allows him into his inner circle. When he makes his move someone captures him. He meets Sanchez under the guise of looking for work. Bond then bolts and meets Pam Bouvier, one of Felix's assets, and he hires her to get him to Sanchez's country. But when M learns of this, he has Bond's license to kill revoked. When Bond learns of this, he decides not to carry out his mission and instead goes after Sanchez. Later Sanchez goes to Felix's, kills his wife, and then literally throws Felix to the sharks. While being transported, one of the men does that. While in custody, Sanchez offers two million dollars to anyone who will help him escape. They decide to go get him with Bond's help they do. When they're on their way to the wedding, Felix's associates tell him that Franz Sanchez, a sadistic drug lord whom they've been trying to apprehend, is in the country. James Bond is attending the wedding of his friend, Felix Leiter, formerly of the CIA, now DEA.
