Bond and a man struggle underwater, and Bond cuts off his oxygen. Bad guys on a boat above him throw grenades into the water to kill him, but he survives.

Bond surprises an assassin waiting in his shower by turning o the hot water and scalding him, and then attacking him and punching him.

Bond pulls a man's legs out from under him and karate chops his head.

A pilot is trapped in his chair after landing a plane underwater, and a bad guy cuts his oxygen supply and swims away.

Bond and another man fight next to a pool, and fall into it. Metal sheets are put over the pool so neither can escape, and sharks are released into it. Bond stabs his attacker, and a fair amount of blood is seen, and the sharks go for him as Bond swims away.

A woman's corpse is seen, and it's said that she was killed by a cyanide capsule she used on herself.

Bond and a man with a flare struggle underwater, and Bond knocks him out.

There's a brief car chase on a runway that ends when one car catches on fire, and crashes in a large explosion.

A man gets stabbed in the eye but no blood is shown.

There is a good deal of violence in this film, but most of it takes place underwater, taming it a bit.

There's a rough fight scene near the beginning between Bond and a man disguised as a woman. Bond is hit with a poker twice, but only gets bruised. He starts to strangle a man with a poker, before breaking his neck with it. The snapping sound is unrealistic.

A man's arm is lit on fire, but he is fine after the fire is put out.

A man is shot by a harpoon gun, impaling him onto a tree. No blood or wound is shown.

Bond kicks a wine bottle so that is spatters on the inside of the car he is in, and he uses a lighter on it, starting a fire and lighting a bad guy's arm on fire. The man fires his gun and Bond is shot in the foot, and his enemies follow him by the bloodstains on the ground.

Bond is about to be shot, but he moves a female villain in the way of the bullet. She is shot, and we see some blood.

An assassin reaches for Bond in a room, but Bond smashes his hand and knocks him out with a telephone.

It's implied a man is eaten by sharks. Lots of splashing is seen, and the water turns red, implying blood.

Bond fires his gun while hiding in bushes, and several bad guys fire their weapons at him.

A shark is shot with a rifle, so that Bond can safely enter the water while other sharks are occupied with the dead shark. The bullet hitting the shark is not shown; we only see the dead shark sinking, and some blood.
