You have to love Licence to Kill, the Bond film that decided to add splashes of gritty realism to Timothy Dalton's moody screen presence and allow things to get straight up nasty in some cases. In Licence, Bond is disavowed from MI-6 when he decides to go rogue in favor of a personal vendetta. The bad guy, Frank Sanchez, a cigar chugging, iguana wearing, Columbian drug god, has fed half of his long time friend Felix Leiter to a giant shark on the night of his wedding and for Bond there is no going forward until Sanchez's drug empire is in the grave. Bond's pursuance of Sanchez's gang comes to a showdown involving gas tankers and stinger missiles. The tanker crashes, Bond takes a dive and is hauled up by a gasoline soaked Sanchez ready to hack him in half with a machete. Buying time before the blade falls on his neck, 007 asks Sanchez if he wants to know the reason why he went to such great pains to bring him down. Sanchez pauses as Bond presents him with the same lighter Felix gave him. He then lights Sanchez on fire and watches him burn to death in an inferno. This is after a very young Benicio Del Toro gets grinded into a bloody pulp in a rock crusher. In hindsight, it's actually quite a brutal movie.
