Licence To Kill reclassified with no cuts for UK release

The BBFC updated their entry for the 1989 James Bond film "Licence To Kill" yesterday with an important decision - to waive all cuts made to the film.

Back at the time of release, several cuts were made to the film in order to achieve the 15 certificate. Approximately 3m 35s five seconds of footage was cut originally. These included an underwater scene where Felix is being fed to the sharks and a shot of his stump (where his leg should be) was cut, a shot of Krest's head exploding, Lupe's whipping, Dario's legs getting minced whist he is still alive, and the fiery death of Sanchez was trimmed down.

The version listed by the BBFC had a run time of 127m 44s.

This may be the version that will be released with the Ultimate Edition DVDs. Click here for full details.

Thanks to `Goldfinger` for the alert.
