Sex & Nudity

Moderate
33 of 71 found this moderate
A girl straddles a man while he is tied to a chair and kisses him after saying that she has a power over men. She then slowly strangles him but doesn't kill him. Very sexual and arousing.
Electra's full breast is briefly visible as she turns over in bed around halfway though. Towards the end, she wears a sheer blouse that strategically covers her nipples.
During the final battle Christmas wears a white shirt that gets wet. Her nipples become visible as the scene progresses, although her breasts do not fully appear.
At the end, Bond and Christmas are apparently having sex. This shows up on the MI6 radar as their bodies give off heat as Bond is being tracked. Bond later makes a Christmas sex joke.
A man briefly runs his fingers over a woman's bare thigh (her torso is covered with a blanket); and she runs an ice cube down her face and neck and presumably on lower areas (her hand goes offscreen).
While wearing special glasses, a man sees many women's bras and panties underneath their clothing as well as underwear of men.
It's talked about several times how a woman was held captive and had sex with her captors.
Both the menu and credits have silhouettes of nude women dancing. Buttocks can briefly be seen, as well as the outlines of breasts and nipples.
This is probably the most sexual of all the James Bond movies.
A shirtless man takes off a woman's skirt and shirt (we see her bra and panties), and he briefly grabs her butt and kisses her passionately and pulls her on top of him before the scene ends.

Violence & Gore

Moderate
25 of 39 found this moderate
Bond knocks down one man and grabs a gun, shooting several other men in a room. He finds another man, who is shot by an unknown sniper.
There's a long and destructive boat chase near the beginning, and a small dock is destroyed. One boat crashes through another boat which ignites some gas cans resulting in an explosion. Bond's boat crashes through city streets, destroying several shops and objects. His target's boat crashes but she scares, commandeering a hot air balloon. Bond jumps on the bottom, but she shoots the gas tank, blowing up the balloon, and Bond falls and lands on a tent, rolling down.
A man's neck, wrists and ankles are locked into a torture device and a small bar is cranked into the back of his neck.
A man purposely punches his hand through a table and a woman pulls a shard of glass from his bloody knuckles.
A man forces another to hold an extremely hot rock.
A man squeezes another's injured arm.
A man hits another with a gun (he gets a bloody cut on his forehead).
A man uses another's head as a battering ram (we see some bloody cuts on his forehead).
A group of men arrive at an island and shoot several men when they get there. Gunshots can be heard, and a few people can be seen getting shot.
Bond kicks a man in the face and shoots him. He then dumps his body inside a small machine to hide it.

Known terrorist henchmen are seen habitually smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
23 of 36 found this moderate
The silo shootout is intense.
A man grabs another man's wounded arm and he grimaces in pain.
The helicopter attack and shootout is explosive and intense.
Renard makes a man hold a very hot rock, which burns his hand. Intense, and may be hard to watch.
The submarine turns sideways and hits the sea floor near the end, and it floods, and Bond and Christmas both almost drown during the extended scene.
The bombing in the beginning is sudden and intense.
This film is the darkest of the Pierce Brosnan bond films.
