Licence to Kill movie trivia

Bond goes after Lupe after she leaves the casino table and they have quite a lengthy, hush-hush conversation. It's a casino and there are cameras everywhere. Certainly, this would have been brought to Sanchez' attention since he was already leery of Bond and possibly Lupe. See more...

LTK has never been officially released in its original cut because it was too violent and the producers wanted to avoid an R rating. Only the Dutch Laser Disc contains the complete uncut scenes which are: 1.Felix Leitner falls into the shark pool: The shark bites his leg off. 2.At the decompression chamber: Milton's head really explodes. 3.Dario is shredded into pieces: Even more blood and flesh is spread around and some pieces even fall onto the camera. 4.Sánchez death: Sánchez gets on fire, walks two steps screaming and then falls on his knees.

'Licence To Kill' was originally titled "Licence Revoked". (You can see on the DVD Special Features a copy of the script with this title). The title was changed at the insistence of MGM, who claimed American audiences would not understand what the word "revoked" meant(.)

Not really a mistake, because it's said by a desperate man, but it amused me. Bond's got the DEA traitor hanging over a shark, and the only way the traitor can escape is with Bond's help. He says to Bond "there's 2 million dollars in that suitcase - I'll split it with you". How stupid does he think Bond is? James can either rescue this bloke he obviously wants to kill and get $1 million, or he can let him die and keep all $2 million for himself. Let me think...

When Pam Bouvier is posing as Bond's personal assistant, he gives her the pseudonym of Miss Kennedy, a reference to the fact that former First Lady Jackie Kennedy's maiden name was Bouvier.

In the final driving action sequence in Rumorosa, Mexico, the road was actually closed off because of weird occurances. On the DVD Documentary of LTK, it even said that when Sanchez was exploding, a fiery hand was reaching out of the fire. Note: You can probably see this only on the Documentary Special Feature of Licence to Kill on DVD. But even I have to admit that it was pretty amazing.

When Sanchez is chasing Bond in the trucks, when he starts to shoot Bond with the Uzi, listen to the ricochet off the bullets. They sound like the James Bond theme tune.

'Licence To Kill' is probably the most violent of all the Bond movies in the series. That's according the UK censors, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). Every Bond movie from "Dr. No" to "The Living Daylights" inclusive carried a "PG (Parental Guidance)" certificate for UK release. Every Bond movie since "GoldenEye" has carried a "12" certificate. But 'Licence To Kill' had a "15" certificate for its UK release. [Debateable, as the 12 certificate was only introduced with the release of Batman, which came out shortly afterwards, but still likely, as otherwise presumably this movie would have prompted the 12.]

Licence to Kill is the only Bond movie set entirely in North America.

"License To Kill" was the last Bond film to see 007 smoking a cigarette.

In the scene where Bond resigns from MI6 he says "Well this a farewell to arms." This a joke refering to the scene being shot at Hemingway House. A Farwell to Arms was one of Hemingway's books.
