about film in 2015. VIOLENT and gory scenes from 007 flick Spectre have led to it being one of the most complained about films last year.
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) was slammed for rating the film 12A – despite scenes which include eye-gouging and torture.
In one scene, a hitman is shown killing another by squeezing his eyes out the sockets.
Another grim moment shows villain Blofeld plunging a robotic drill into the neck of James Bond – played by Daniel Craig.
The BBFC said in its report that it had to suggest changes to the Spectre filmmakers so the movie received a kid-friendly rating.
It wrote: “One scene involving eye-gouging was slightly too strong for the company’s preferred 12A classification. We therefore suggested reductions to this scene.”
BBFC chief executive David Austin said: “Once the edits had been made we didn’t really think Spectre pushed the boundary of 12A.”
In 2014 the BBFC gave the children's film Paddington a shocking PG rating.
The film starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Bonneville was said to feature scenes of "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, mild sex references and mild bad language."
