The BBFC commented:

  • Company was asked to make seven compulsory cuts to scenes of violence as per the previously released 1996 12-rated version

The other cuts were applied slightly differently and more noticeably for

  • A head butt was cut at Xenia's "wait your turn" line to Natalya
  • Five Alex Trevelyan head butts against Bond were deleted during the antenna room cradle fight. One return headbutt by Bond was also deleted.

Thanks to Joel:

Box set DVD extras include a documentary looking at this history of Bond. When it came to an interview with Famke Janssen about her character Xenia, one of the scenes shown was this exact same scene in it's UNCUT format.

International Version Cuts

The rough cut was shown to the BBFC and MPAA. This resulted in a set of International version cuts that were common to the concerns of both censors. These cuts have become common to all releases of GoldenEye and look unlikely to ever be reversed. The cuts were:

  • During the pre-credit sequence, when 006 is shot, originally one clearly saw the impact to the head, but this has now been deleted
  • The sex scene with Xenia making out with the admiral and eventually suffocating him has been much reduced.
  • Bond's rabbit punch on Xenia during a car ride was moved offscreen
  • The Severnaya hijack sequence was also cut with numerous shots removed of the workers being gunned down by Xenia.
  • Furthermore, Xenia's death was also toned down; originally her body was seen writhing against the tree for longer, before her back breaks with a crack and she slumps dead. The slump, sans sound effect, is all that remains.
  • When Trevelyan turns over after falling from the dish, the shot showing his bloodied face and a trickle of blood running oozing from his mouth was shortened.

UK Specific Cuts

In addition to the International Version cuts, additional cuts were made that were specific to the UK release

  • Towards the end of the film, as Xenia attempts to crush Bond, her headbutt to Natalya was removed when the latter tried to free Bond. In fact, the entire episode of Natalya swinging a log at Xenia, Xenia grabbing it and telling Natalya to Wait for your turn before headbutting her was removed.
  • All head butts were removed from the climatic Bond vs Trevelyan fight around the antenna room and cradle. This included attempted head butts that failed to hit their target. In addition, the contact sound effects throughout the fight were toned down.

MPAA RUS: The US Version is cut to tone down the amount of blood in a couple of violent scenes:
  • Viggo Mortensen breaks the nose of a bad guy. The US version shows the guy on the ground with blood dribbling down his face. In the International Version, the dribble is a gush.
  • Viggo Mortensen stomps on the throat of one of the bad guys. The US Version has muted the crunching sound of the neck breaking and shows the guy with blood in his mouth. The International Version includes the neck breaking sound and has the guy coughing and choking on the blood in his mouth.

Director Cronenberg said that in two scenes, the Canadian and international DVD releases will have just a little more blood than the U.S. version, which had to satisfy the MPAA ratings people. I defy anybody to see the differences. I can't see them, even though I know if you go frame by frame you will. But they're so quick.

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com

Promotional Material

In David Cronenbergs subtly provocative film, one of his most celebrated, all is not as it initially seems. In his first of many collaborations with the director, Viggo Mortensen delivers a highly nuanced performance as Tom Stall, a small-town husband and father who is hailed as a hero when he kills the would-be perpetrators of a violent robbery. But how did this ordinary family man dispatch them with such skill? Working with an exceptional cast that also includes Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and William Hurt, Cronenberg slyly deconstructs the mythos of the American action hero, posing elemental questions about identity, human nature, and the violence that we both abhor and cant look away from.

While Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Kruger) from cancer, a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his ""Shroud"" technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.

The BBFC commented:

Company chose to make cuts to reduce a sequence of strong violence (removing blood spurts, bloody detail and stronger moments of violence) in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.

Presumably this was cut to try and obtain a BBFC 12A, but the cuts weren't enough. and the film was again 15 rated. It looks like the distributors ended up using the uncut 15 rated version.
