The number of deaths per movie puts Craig’s 007 at the top with 59, followed by Pierce Brosnan with 26, Moore with 17 and Sean Connery with 11, suggesting that Bond movies since 2000 have been considerably more violent than their predecessors.ĭata on the effects of screen violence is not easy to come by. Informal research shows that prior to the release of No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s 007 – who debuted in 2006’s Casino Royale – is responsible for nearly twice as many on-screen deaths (235) as the next highest (Roger Moore, who starred in two more films, with 121). If major franchises are anything to go by, then the James Bond films certainly seem to suggest a greater readiness for in violence in blockbuster cinema.
