'''Licence to Kill''' (1989) is the sixteenth film of the ''[[James Bond]]'' film series and the second and last film to star [[Timothy Dalton]] as fictional British secret agent James Bond. It is the first film in the series not be adapted from a Bond book or short story by [[Ian Fleming]], although some elements from his writings are used in the film, such as the attack on [[Felix Lieter]] by the main villain (from ''[[Live and Let Die]]'') and the character of [[Milton Krest]] (from ''[[For Your eyes Only]]''). It is also notable for being the last Bond film to feature [[Robert Brown]] as [[M]] and [[Caroline Bliss]] as [[Miss Moneypenny]]; in the following Bond film, ''[[GoldenEye]]'', the rank of M was taken by a character played by [[Judi Dench]], and the role of Miss Moneypenny was played by [[Samantha Bond]]. ''Licence to Kill'' is also the first ''James Bond'' film to earn a [[PG-13]] rating in the [[United States]], and a 15 rating in the [[United Kingdom]]. In fact, the film boards in both countries requested that several violent scenes be cut to avoid in [[R]] rating in the US and an 18 rating in the UK, although the uncut version of the film, complete with several graphic scenes, is included in it's entireity on the 2006 ''James Bond Ultimate Edition DVD Collection''. All Bond following Bond films would also earn a PG-13 rating to this day. The film also marked the second and last appearance of [[David Hedison]] as [[Felix Lieter]], who previously portrayed the character in ''[[Live and Let Die]]''. It would be the last Bond film to include the character of Lieter until ''[[Casino Royale]]'' and ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'', in addition to being the last Bond film produced during the [[Cold War]]. ''Licence to Kill'' was also the final Bond film in which [[Albert R. Broccoli]] served as the main producer. Broccoli would later return as a consulting producer for ''[[GoldenEye]]'' before his death in 1996. ''Licence to Kill'' was also produced before the longest gap between ''James Bond'' films (six years) due to a heated legal battle in court for the next few years concerning the rights to the Bond series and character.
