The scene in question saw Daniel Craig’s 007 being held hostage by Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem) as the villain caresses Bond’s chest and thigh. “You’re trying to remember your training now.
What’s the regulation to cover this? Well, first time for everything I guess,” Silva says to Bond. The hero, seemingly unbothered, responds: “What makes you think this is my first time?” According to the franchise’s producer Barbara Broccoli, the interaction was almost axed from the 2012 film. “I remember we were told to cut that line by the studio and we said, ‘No, no, no.’ We resisted,” Broccoli revealed in the new Apple TV+ documentary Being James Bond.
