Facts and Bloopers:

As recently as 1989, censors still incurred the wrath of Bond fans.  In Great Britain, several seconds were snipped off scenes in Licence to Kill due to alleged excessive violence; notably, Sanchez's fiery death.

In Licence to Kill Sanchez's grisly revenge against Lupe's lover Alvarez is hinted at offscreen.  The actual depiction of the removal of the man's heart was more graphically illustrated, but trimmed due to excessive gore.

Bond drives up to the Key West airport, simply leaves his rental car in front of the terminal gate, and walks immiediatly to the ticket counter to check in for his flight.  How was the car to be returned to its original location?
