  • Everybody likes James Bond, right? All the kids think he's cool, right? Well then, one is advised to warn them of these bits:
    • Dr. No: Bond shooting a defenseless man twice for good measure;
    • Goldfinger: Bond finding a dead, naked girl that he slept with earlier. Her sister later has her neck broken by Oddjob's hat;
    • On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Bond slowly choking a man to death with a ski, and causing another man to be ground up by a snowplow. And Tracy is shot in the head by Irma Blunt and Blofield... and they get away with it;
    • Diamonds Are Forever: Two baddies slowly drowning in mud. Also Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd murdering Lord knows how many people (including Plenty O'Toole, who wasn't even involved in the evil plan, simply because she was in Tiffany Case's house at the wrong time);
    • The Spy Who Loved Me: A goon stuck to a giant electromagnet because of his metal teeth, then dropped into a shark tank. The Big Bad murders his secretary for betraying him by feeding her to said sharks, and said henchman gruesomely murders two people offscreen and nearly murders two more onscreen;
    • Moonraker: The villain kills his secretary by having her be eaten alive by his dogs. Bond also murders two scientists with nerve gas for the heinous crime of working for the villain. And then there's the final scene where Bond, er, "attempts re-entry".
    • For Your Eyes Only: An innocent woman brutally run over by a goon who wasn't even aiming for her. Bond also kicks a man inside a car off a cliff, in cold blood;
    • Octopussy: 009 being knifed in the back and slowly expiring. Bond later does this to one of the two knife-throwing brothers responsible. General Orlov is shot in the lungs and slowly expires, Vijay is cut open by a bladed yo-yo, a mook is impaled on a bed of nails, another mook is suffocated by a blue-ringed octopus, and the bladed yo-yo using mook is devoured by crocodiles;
    • A View to a Kill: The Big Bad gunning down dozens of his own men for the hell of it and throwing a Russian spy's lover into a turbine for fun;
    • The Living Daylights: A MI6 official killed by a sheet of glass that stabs right through him. 004 falls to his death after his rappelling rope is cut. Necros is killed by Bond's direct action of cutting his bootlace so that Necros would fall to his death. And General Whitaker is crushed to death by a bust of Wellington;
    • Licence to Kill: Felix Leiter mauled horrifically by a Great White shark. Also, a henchman's head explodes, and another henchman is ground up in a rock crusher. The villain has one of his henchmen cut his mistress's lover's heart out and whips her while she begs him not to (in the opening 5 minutes of the movie, no less!);
    • GoldenEye: A woman being pressed against a tree and then asphyxiated. Said woman kills countless people with a machine gun and with her thighs during sex, and tries doing this to Bond twice;
    • Tomorrow Never Dies: A ship is sunk and the survivors are gunned down by the Carver Media Group's security adviser Mr. Stamper in a bid to start nuclear war and profit from reporting on it. Elliot Carver also has his wife killed because she betrayed him for Bond, and is killed by being hit with his own drill;
    • The World Is Not Enough: A man slowly dying from a bullet lodged in his brain, who executes a minion for failing him to psyche another one into succeeding, and drugs the crew of a submarine and has them drowned. Also Bond shoots an unarmed woman;
    • Die Another Day: Bond getting tortured by North Korea in a very disturbing, half-hallucinatory sequence that shows a lot of CGI naked women, the villain's chief henchman is impaled on a chandelier with a spurt of blood, another man has a laser drilled through the back of his head, a female henchman is stabbed in the chest, and the villain kills his father and is electrocuted and ground up in a turbine;
    • Casino Royale: Bond tied naked to a chair and getting his junk destroyed by the bad guy;
    • Quantum of Solace: Bond finding a dead, naked girl that he slept with earlier, again;
    • Skyfall: A terrorist balancing a shot glass of whiskey on his mistress's head then shooting her to knock it off. Later, he pulls his prosthetic jaw from his mouth to show the damage inflicted by the failure of a Suicide Pill.
    • Spectre: Franz Oberhauser/Blofeld subjecting Bond to Cold-Blooded Torture, and holding the Bond Girl hostage. This is done to spite 007 for being favored more by his foster father. SPECTRE dabbles in human slavery, terrorism, counterfeit drugs and regime change, to the point that Mr. White called it quits, aside from nauseating Bond a bit.

I don't think the James Bond franchise was ever marketed to kids. If there's one thing everyone knows about the franchise, it's that James Bond is a sexually voracious killer.
