Whilst in production, various newspapers reported that this would be the most violent Bond film yet - and would trying to keep up with the mega violence of such recent, popular, action fare as Lethal Weapon (1987) and Die Hard (1988). This was the first Bond film to score a PG-13 rating due to its violent content. See more »

Licence to Kill has a mixture of all the essential Bond attributes. Dalton is an action man and a more sensitive and moody Bond in this film. Shame he turned down the chance to do Goldeneye, that would have made him a mega star.
