History NightmareFuel / LicenceToKill

* Dario's run in with a cocaine grinder. You don't see him directly being shredded, but [[LudicrousGibs bloody bits]] coming out the other side of the grinder, blood-dyed cocaine dust and a vivid imagination can fill in the details, not to mention Dario's screams. [[KarmicDeath Well, he did almost deserve it for raping and killing Felix Leiter's wife]].

** The lead-up to said death, which has no background music but ''does'' have the [[SarcasmMode lovely sound]] [[HellIsThatNoise of the depth gauge machine reaching a crescendo and then releasing air as it is punctured]]. Then Krest's head inflates...

''Licence to Kill'' is certainly the [[BloodierAndGorier bloodiest and goriest]] James Bond film ever made. In fact, when it was originally submitted to the MPAA, it was given an R rating and had to be toned down to get a PG-13 [[note]]All home video releases since 2006 are of the original unedited version[[/note]]. Here's why:

* The manner in which Bond finally kills Sanchez, by setting his gasoline-soaked body alight with his lighter -- the same one he'd given Felix and Della as their wedding gift. Sanchez is then left to burn alive before stumbling into the leaking gasoline tanker. It is as brutal and terrifying as it is truly {{karmic|Death}}.

''Licence to Kill'' is certainly the [[BloodierAndGorier bloodiest and goriest]] James Bond film ever made. Here's why:

** A subtle moment occurs shortly before this. When Sanchez arrives at the WaveKrest, he questions Krest himself while sending his guys to look around the ship. When they find the money, one of them goes to Sanchez and whispers the news into his ear, and while Sanchez [[TranquilFury keeps his cool demeanor, his eyes go wide with murderous rage]].

* Sanchez feeding Leiter to a shark and Dario informing him that he raped Della ("We gave her a nice honeymoooon!"). Especially after Bond visits the now-empty house and sees everything destroyed and Della's dead body on the bed, eyes still open.

* Heller meeting his dead end- [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled]] by a [[ForkliftFu forklift]].

* Sanchez's EstablishingCharacterMoment at the beginning of the film: killing his mistress Lupe's lover (and cutting his heart out, to boot) and then whipping her with the tail of a stingray, made even worse by the downright ominous music, and his FauxAffablyEvil tone. Not to mention the scream the guy makes as his heart is cut out. By the way, Dario was the one who did that.

** And when Bond sees her scars later, it's clear from Lupe's response that Sanchez manipulates her into thinking its her fault that he whipped her. [[HarsherInHindsight Yeah.]]

''Licence to Kill'' is certainly the bloodiest Bond film ever made. Here's why:
