Which is why after careful consideration, I state that TMWTGG was the least violent film. Four deaths (Scaramanga, Andrea, Hi Fat, Rodney) and they were all shot.
:)>-
Yeah, the shoot-out with the military at Fort Knox is a point to be considered, but I explained on the previous page why I think those other things aren't all that violent (compared with the violence in the rest of the James Bond films, that is). Which film do you consider the least violent?
Don't forget about Gibson. He get's shot in the face...
Apart from the guy getting a ninja star in the neck there was no real visceral violence I thought...
Zorin blowing the California state geologist away point blank, and machine gunning the mine workers? MayDay hooking Aubergine?
For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View to a Kill all contain a lot of violence.
I would put AVTAK up there as one of the MOST violent (along with LTK, CR, QOS). Zorin gunning down the mine workers is perhaps the most violent scene in the series.
Since FRWL there was a conscious effort to tone down the violence. Hence GF has no blood shown in it, despite the large number of fatalities. However, I stand by my comments that TMWTGG is the least violent.
Truly can't understand how people would consider it the least violent film in the series.
Dropping Klotkoff into the spinning blades on the oil rig also springs to mind.
Ah yes! Great scene. I like how the scene cuts to the control room,where the power reading dips for a few seconds (as Klotkoff meets a gruesome end) and then returns to normal.
Very well said @jobo, and I certainly agree with this evaluation.
Likewise.
You're right, he mostly just strangled them with their bikini tops, flung scalpels at them, snapped nasty mouse-traps on their hands, and set them on fire. ;)
I was only kidding with ya. I know where you're coming from. You're right, it's not an easy question to answer considering that violence is one of the cornerstones of the character of James Bond and the world he inhabits. DAF and TMWTGG appear to be two of the most frequent choices for least violent JB film, along with my own suggestion of GF for its tamer uses of violence.
