Sexual assault and violence would raise James Bond age classification, BBFC says

Respondents highlighted an interaction in Goldfinger between Bond and Pussy Galore in a barn that audiences today would view as sexual assault (PA)

The age rating of two James Bond films would be raised if they were rereleased today, because of the portrayal of violence and sexual assault, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has said.

Goldfinger and From Russia With Love, both starring Sir Sean Connery and released in the 1960s, were flagged during a public consultation as films audiences believe should be classified more cautiously.
