Directed by Martin Campbell. With Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright. After earning 00 status and a licence to kill, Secret Agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007. Bond must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro. The version on CDwow is just the region 3 version. It is uncut - which is different from the British and US versions (don't know if continental Europe ever had an uncut version). This has been available since Feb 15th.
The BBFC updated their entry for the 1989 James Bondfilm 'Licence To Kill'on 4th July 2005 with an important decision - to waive allcuts made to the film. Back at the time of release, severalcuts were made to the film in order to achieve the 15 certificate.These included an underwater scene where Felix is beingfed to the sharks and a shot of his stump (where his legshould be) was cut, a shot of Krest's head exploding, Lupe'swhipping, Dario's legs getting minced whist he is stillalive, and the fiery death of Sanchez was trimmed down. The first video transfer submitted to the BBFC back on12th February 1990, which ran for 126m 50s, was unchangedfrom the 15 certificate cut theatrical release. The 2005'uncut' version runs at 127m 44s, adding 54 secondsback to the film and will be used on the UltimateEdition DVD release. | Order (Amazon UK) |

Alternate Versions History
James Bond Casino Royale Stream
The initial UK Warner Home Video releases were the original editedcinema versions (cut by 37 seconds). The UK MGM video releasein 2000 restored 26 seconds of cuts (mainly to the opening whippingscene, Leiter being attacked by the shark and Dario's death inthe mincer) but was still missing some brief cuts (despite thefully uncut version having been shown on British television).When the film was submitted for video/DVD re-release in 2005,the BBFC waived all cuts for the movie but an error by MGM resultedin the edited version being released by mistake.
When the film was submitted to the BBFC in 1989, some sceneshad to be trimmed down for a '15' rating. In 2000, thefilm was rated '15' again, but this time some cuts werewaived due to changed guidelines in the BBFC. In 2005, the filmwas rated '15' and all previous cuts were waived.
Casino Royale Extended
The MPAA reportedly trimmed a few scenes to avoid an R rating.The uncut version was submitted internationally.
The UK DVD is still slightly cut in places for violence. Thesecuts may have been made by the BBFC or by the distributor. WhenFelix is tortured by Sanchez, an underwater shot of the bloodywater and the stump where Felix's leg used to be is still missing.In the scene where Krest is killed, the shot of his head actuallyexploding is replaced by a shot of Heller squirming. The fierydeath of Sanchez has been trimmed.
On pan and scan VHS prints issued since 1990, the opening titlecredits have been slightly altered to fit the screen. Some creditsthat took one line in the widescreen version were altered to fittwo lines in the pan and scan version.
There is a mild dialogue alteration in the 5.1 mix for the newSpecial Edition. The 'What are you waiting for? Get in!/Yes,sir.' exchange has been moved to the next shot of Bond noddingand approaching the tanker, after Pam stops it. Originally, shesaid it right after stopping the tanker. The fact that TimothyDalton's lips can only slightly be seen to move when he says hisline confirms this alteration.
