    Most violent Bond-Lazenby for sure.

    Agreed, Dalton. That ski chase and hunt of Bond in the ski village is absolutely riveting stuff.

    I guess that personal violence (when we get to see the persons being killed) is more effective than impersonal violence (where those killed are faceless). Case in point : DAF has a much higher body count than LTK (all the military personnel of those bases hit by the laser), but we don't really care about them. Same with the faceless mooks killed in TSWLM. But we know the people killed in LTK, and that makes it more personal for us. On that level, due to the emotional involvement and the manner in which they meet their fate (whether seen or, in Delia's case, unseen), LTK is the more violent Bond movie.
    @Gerard nails it here.
    Well done.

    LTK takes it for the implied horror when Dario mentions Della's "Honeymoon". Really dark stuff. Glad he got the grinder.

    Glad the bloody thing wasn't turned off too soon.
