one of the most baffling experiences any moviegoer can subject themselves to. Which brings us to his version of Casino Royale, a.k.a. Trying to imitate the Eon films would be a fool's errand, but Feldman was smart enough to realize this. Indeed, Saltzman and Broccoli had already released four box office sensations by the time Feldman got his cameras rolling, putting him in the daunting position of having to make a Bond film without the established Bond elements – no gun barrel sequence, no signature theme song, no Sean Connery. Broccoli saw him squandering his opportunity to make his Bond the gold standard from which everything else would be compared. Feldman had acquired the rights to Ian Fleming’s seminal novel in 1960, but a revolving line-up of scripts and growing competition from Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Most notably, it was the first to be produced by someone other than Eon Productions, with that duty falling to Charles K.

The film is (once again) Casino Royale, a 1967 release that marked several firsts for the series. These cuts persist in all worldwide versions of the film.And then there’s the other film… that one whose presence has lingered over this series like an unpleasant smell for almost sixty years, and which these days seems to exist solely as the answer to annoying trivia questions designed to trick anyone but diehard fans. The uncut version showed the man putting the gun under his chin and firing with a spray of bloody mist, and two subsequent shots showed brain tissue hanging down from the back of his head.

The suicide now takes place off-screen and with reduced detail.

The uncut version showed this all from the front, including the aftermath.

The eye gouging now only shows an establishing shot of the thumbs being inserted, then cuts to a counter-shot from behind the victim's head when the slightly bloody thumbs emerge.

Reductions to 'strong bloody (injury) detail' were made in the following two scenes: These were made prior to formal submission and it was duly passed at 12A with no further changes. The BBFC informed the filmmakers that cuts would be required in two scenes before a 12A rating, instead of an uncut 15, could be obtained. In August 2015, Columbia submitted the film to the BBFC in the UK for advice on whether the film would receive a 12A rating upon a formal submission.
