Timothy Dalton’s second outing as 007 features brutal tortures and gruesome deaths, forcing the film to make some changes to its more violent scenes.
Licence to Kill made several changes after receiving an R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America prior to the film's release in 1989. The MPAA required the more violent scenes to be edited before giving the Bond film a PG-13 rating. Licence to Kill's changes for its US release ranged from the removal of entire shots to skipping only a few frames of action.
5 Heller Kills Loti With his license to kill revoked, James Bond travels to the Republic of Isthmus in Latin America where he gets close to Franz Sanchez by posing as an assassin for hire. Two Hong Kong narcotics agents, joined by an MI6 agent sent to apprehend Bond, foil 007’s plan and take him to an abounded warehouse. Sanchez’s head of security, Colonel Heller, leads a team to rescue Bond, shooting and killing the Hong Kong agent Loti in the process.
In the R-rated version of Timothy Dalton's Bond film Licence to Kill, Krest's head inflates a bit longer before exploding on camera, painting the chamber’s porthole red. The edited version gives slightly less screen time to the head inflating and cuts to an onlooker’s reaction as the explosion occurs off-screen. The blood-red porthole is still shown, but only from a distance after the explosion.
