Renard poisons innocent sailors and dumps their bodies into the sea. Renard, who still has a bullet in his head from a previous encounter with British Secret Service, is eventually impaled by a nuclear rod. Intense action finds Bond facing a homicidal boater, parachuting snipers, an avalanche, fiery explosions, a sinking submarine and a string of razor-sharp circular saws dangling from a helicopter. Practically no profanity, but crass sexual innuendo is par for the course. Other characters drink socially as well.
Several characters smoke.
Bond accepts a cigar, which is later offered to and discarded by Miss Moneypenny following a Clinton-esque reference. That's just fine with the filmmakers. We're asked to love him because he risks life and limb to save the world. But his voracious libido and itchy trigger finger make him less than heroic. The World Is Not Enough celebrates vice with little virtue, and will leave morally discerning audiences shaken and stirred.
