I can name a few, the transition of M becoming a woman in 1995's goldeneye.
Felix becoming black in CR.
Halle Berry's appearance in DAD , not to mention she beats up numerous men who are much larger in size than her.
The removal of Bond slapping women from Moore onward.
Can anybody else think of any?

Whaaaaat? Really? Is the footage still around?
I just read it once. Here's an article:
http://www.exposay.com/smoking-is-prohibited-on-casino-royale-says-007-star-daniel-craig/v/4832/
I remember reading that smoking scenes were cut, but I could be wrong.
And look, another article where the writer appears to believe that vodka martinis are completely gone from the Bond series, just because a deal was signed with Heineken. History will repeat itself, and here we are, six years later, with journalists, writers, bloggers, and the like believing the exact same thing.
...but, smoking is more readily available (and 1,000x more legal) for younger kids than it would be to acquire a gun and start offing people you don't like. I just wish times hadn't changed so much, and smoking wasn't seen as some sin that the worst of the population takes part in. I miss seeing Connery light up a cigarette, especially that first introduction given to the audience in DN. So iconic.
Interesting, the same blabble about Heineken and no more "shaken not stirred". I don't even recall seeing Heineken in CR, although it may have been there subtly
Though I dislike the idea of smoking, that scene wouldn't be as iconic otherwise, Whenever I think of refined and classy smoking one person I think of in addition to Bond is Humphrey Bogart. The man who made everything he did look cool.
:))
Moore slapped women too (TMWTGG, anyone ?
And Tracy beat up a guy who was much larger than she was, not to mention the fact that she outdrove and outskied Bond in the chase scenes.
I hat PCBM
"A lot of things in this film, the sex and violence and so on, if played straight, a) would be objectionable, and b) we're never gonna go past along the censors; but the moment you take the mickey out, put the tongue out in the cheek, it seems to disarm." -Terence Young
Even though a film like Dr. No may seem like a walloping dose of political incorrectness to us, it went to great pains to tidy up some of the racial politics of the book (Chinese as sadists, etc) as well as some of the more controversial elements that Young mentions in order to present itself to (then) modern audiences. Bond movies are mass entertainment and typically go with the flow.
Tracy's own father knocked her out.
And maybe Jeffrey Wright was cast because he was the best actor for the role?
Just saying.
Here here.
Never understood why Judi Dench/female M is criticised (even now). Best M since Bernard Lee. Perhaps even better than Lee?
As for "political correctness" there's the line Bond says from TND:
"never argue with a woman...they're always right!"
So much for being a sexist, mysoganist :p
How dare you inject logic and common sense into this argument! Have you no sense of decency?!
It's interesting how there are a (thankfully, very) few people on this site who have, shall we say...very obvious issues with real life that they need to shoehorn into discussions of Bond. The best we can do is try to disarm them with logic, but that doesn't seem to work. I guess ignoring is often best...
Genius. Just about sums up some of the people on here (although this is not exclusivley aimed at Touchmybuttons).
If I may...
"I prefer to rely on instincts and blind prejudice!"
It is true; so many people just rely on what they have heard and learned, whether it is the furthest from the truth or not, and they don't take in said facts, or other people's opinions, especially fundamentalists out there.
Agreed. Its basically a force for good.
1971 it was deemed uncool to smoke thus the cigaretts vanished (except for Dalton's films as he tried to emulate the charcter in the book who was a heavy 3 packs a day smoker) Moore smoked cigars but that was his "thing". Brosnan smoking a dog turd in DAD was weird...
Female M? more supporting cast of "color". No they are updating the series for the 21st century as they tear down racial and sexual barriers. I like Dench and I like Jeffrey as Leiter in the Craig films.
Slapping women? That went out and just don't see it anymore. Audiences will not accept a hero who physically abuses a woman. okay to kill the bad guys but don't go slapping the lady...
Killing , capturing and torturing Jews was politically correct during the Nazi Germany Era but that was basically a force for good according to your previous post.
Selling your daughter in Iran for your own benefit is politically correct in Iran so thats basically a force for good too I guess according to your previous post.
Making women cover they're faces and body entirely is politically correct in Iran. so thats a force for good too isn't it?
Persecuting Chinese who own Bibles in China is politically correct, but I guess thats a force of good too right? ?
