Never Say Never Again

Almost nonstop fighting, with guns, knives, spears, bombs, exploding pens, etc. People die but there's no blood. One brief shot of a dead woman lying face down in water. A woman throws her pet poisonous snake into the car of the man she double-crosses; for good measure she blows up his car before rescuing the snake.

Ladies just fall into James Bond's bed without much effort on his part. Though the sex is frequent, and promiscuous (one day he has sex with one woman, fights a few sharks, and then beds the woman who rescues him from the ocean), it's not graphic. One brief scene seems to be Bond thrusting behind a woman but turns out to be him getting a chiropractic adjustment. As in other Bond films, sexual innuendo in the dialogue is a frequent source of humor.

Occasional mild swearing, like "hell," "ass," and "damn." Sexual innuendo a frequent source of humor in the dialogue; for instance, "You're marvelously well-equipped," and "Going down, one should always be relaxed."

Bond enjoys his martinis -- shaken, not stirred. Characters also drink tequila shots, brandy, assorted cocktails. Some smoking in the background. One minor character is a heroin addict.

Parents need to know that Never Say Never Again is the 1983 James Bond movie that was Sean Connery's seventh and final portrayal of 007. This has all of the trademarks and tropes of James Bond movies. The secret agent beds several women (two in one afternoon). He kills countless men and at least one woman (with an exploding pen). Though deaths are bloodless and rarely graphic, one brief scene shows a woman dead, face down in water, with her eyes still open. The main female character lives with an evil terrorist who threatens to cut her throat if she leaves him. Women's bodies are frequently shown wet, in bikinis, and often without focusing on their faces. In one scene, the main female character is tied to a post, barely dressed, in front of a band of aggressive men on horseback who offer money for her. And just like in other Bond movies, sexual innuendo is a frequent source of humor: The women say things like "You're obviously well-equipped" to Bond, who counters with lines such as, "Going down, one should always be relaxed." Of course, Bond is shown drinking his martinis, and there are also scenes of characters drinking tequila shots and assorted cocktails. One of the minor characters is a heroin addict.
