With anticipation now high on the upcoming new James Bond film Skyfall starring Daniel Craig, will the completed film survive without any cuts?
There is a long history with the Bond films and the British Board of Film Classification, and listed below are just some of the scenes that the censors didn’t want you to see.
Producers of the 007 movies had to cut scenes, redub dialogue and rewrite scripts because the British Board of Film Classification objected to some of the spy’s more risque exploits.

Interesting. The BBFC website often says that "To obtain this rating, cuts were made, but details are not available" for the older Bond films. I believe Goldfinger was also cut, do you know anything about that?The Sweeney wrote:With anticipation now high on the upcoming new James Bond film Skyfall starring Daniel Craig, will the completed film survive without any cuts?

•Bonita getting out of the bath was removed, so it happened off-screen
•The electrocution in the bath was shortened
•The scene of Bond and Jill Masterson together on the bed was shortened

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
