Bond's entire walk to the Ocean Club is cut, cutting from him looking at M's computer to Dimitros kissing the Ocean Club worker.Ħ. Instead, jumping from the shot of Bond right after he thanks the receptionist to Solange and her horse viewed from the back.ĥ. The kids following Solange's horse is gone. The first shot you see is Bond's Ford going from right to left into the driveway of the Ocean ClubĤ. Bond's drive to the Ocean Club is completely cut out from showing Le Chiffre's yacht to Bond checking his phone. The establishing shot of London when we see M is gone.ģ. It cuts from 007 looking at the bomb to Le Chiffre wiping his bloody eye.Ģ. The shot of the woman getting onto Le Chiffre's boat is gone. The stuff they cut out was mostly establishing shots.ġ. It would seem that they sped it up to about 1.2x for a few seconds, then 1x for a few and just kept swapping speeds for the whole movie. But it wasn't really all that noticeable, except when they'd play music.
I have two examples, both regarding Casino Royale, but on two different channels - AMC (US) and BBC America.ĪMC cut two minutes 40 seconds out of its broadcast of CR.Not to mention screwing with the speed. My question to you is, where have you seen Bond butchered?
No, this is not about our favourite super spy getting strung up on meat hooks in a butcher shop on live TV.
