James Bond movies have their share of violence, but I think License to Kill takes the death and violence to a whole other level compared to other films in the series. Most bad guys in James Bond films get shot, fall down great lengths, get blown up, etc. but when watching License to Kill, I had to wonder how this movie got a PG-13 rating. Here's some detail as to how gruesome the movie can get.Felix Leiter gets brutally mauled by a great white shark and his wife gets raped and murdered.Bond while investigating the attack finds the traitor officer Killinger and kills him by making him fall into the same great white shark tank and they watch him get mauled to death by the sharkSanchez, the bad guy, having been manipulated by Bond into believing Martin Krest stole his money, locks him in a decompression chamber, turns up the pressure beyond safe levels, and then damages the pipes to the chamber, causing Krest's head to fucking explodeSanchez's henchman, Dario, gets thrown into a cocaine shredder and ground into human mincemeatColonel Heller, Sanchez's head of Security, is killed by Sanchez by being impaled by a fucking Forklift and driven through a wallSanchez is doused in gasoline and his body set on fire and he burns alive before dying in a gigantic explosionAnd those are only the most gruesome and horrific killings I saw in the movie. Plenty of other bad guys get shot, drowned, thrown from a plane from thousands of feet in the air, etc. We don't even know what happened to Sharky, Bond's investigator friend; only that they killed him. It's so dark and so violent.And that's why it's my favorite Bond film. The darker, more serious, more brutal tone of the film is one aspect that I liked about it. Also Timothy Dalton was a more serious, no-nonsense Bond who in this film was just out for revenge, like proto-Jack Bauer. I liked it. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2VkWG5n
