This is simply ranking the scenes throughout the entire Bond series which stand out to you as being pretty brutal for "family films" (try not just to mention DC films 
)
10- Bond killing Elektra (TWINE) - Very unexpected cold blooded murder and actually used to give me a fright when he shouted "CALL HIM OFF" to her. He was pissed
9- Saunders death (TLD) - It may be off screen but it still gives the impact extremely well. Seems more like a death from Final Destination rather than Bond
8- The Devonshire (TND) - It's not often you see the villains scheme in full effect and this just comes off as extremely heartless and horrific...especially when mixed with David Arnold eerie music
7- Strombergs death (TSWLM) - About as brutal as we see Rog. Buries about 3-4 bullets into the villain and each time I watch it I actually realise that it was a brutal scene
6- Fight with Slate (QoS) - Quick, High impact with a very brutal ending - letting the villain bleed to death
5- Zorin Rampage (AVTAK) - Epecially for a Moore film, the sight of Max Zorin shooting his own men and laughing about it just seems so out of place and pure evil (how was this rated PG?)
4- Bond and Grant (FRWL) - The 5 min. Dialog section just sets up this scene to perfection and then when the fight breaks out it just exceeds all expectations. No corny fake punches here
3- Severnaya Massacre (GE) - I think this scene was meant to bother the audience, and it does me. I hate it when people say "Brosnan was just a replacement for Moore" None of Moore's films would have this twisted a villain or brutal a scene.
2- Krest Death (LTK) - This may look slightly corny now but for a Bond film it still seems exceptionally brutal. The fist time we see a heap of blood thrown at the screen ...or a mans head exploding for that fact. Final Destonation death #2
1- Straicase fight (CR) - My favourite fight scene in any bond film and strangely the most brutal (IMO) It's so intense and so real that you feel the terror that bond does. Plus the scene where Bond strangles the villain to death gets me every time ... A solid 20 seconds of sheer suffering
So that's mine. Lets hear yours

Also pretty cold: The death of the hitman in TND and the shot of the banker in Bilbao in TWINE. I especially loved Brosnan's cold blooded face in that scene. Total badass.
1. Connery 2. Craig 3. Brosnan 4. Dalton 5. Lazenby 6. Moore
Pretty good list. Only one scene from LTK? I would also add Heller's forklift death, Sanchez being lit on fire, Leiter being tortured and Delia being killed. Some fans have said she was also raped, but her wedding dress looks intact to me. Either way, certainly the least family friendly of all the Bond films!
By Devonshire, do you mean the drill torpedo wreaking havok on the ship? I would also include machine gunning the survivors. This along with the Severnaya massacre are hard for me to watch.
I noticed a little contradiction when you say None of Moore's films would have this twisted a villain or brutal a scene.
Yet for the Zorin massacre you simply dismiss it as "out of place"
Sounds like a Catch 22 to me. How is ol' Roger supposed to win against this logic? Give credit where credit is due. AVTAK had a harder edge to the violence and Walken played a seriously twisted villain!
1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK
Stromberg being shot to death at his own dinner table and then slumping over into his food was probably the most unglamorous and un-cinematic villain death in the whole series. I mean that in a good way.
1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK
When watching I was whincing in pain!
Connery finishing off Jacques Bouvard with a poker and scattering flowers on him in Thunderball also ranks high on my list.
I also love the scene in the Madagascar chase in CR where Craig slams the Embassy head's face down onto a bust on a table, almost breaking his nose. Brutal or what?
" I don't listen to hip hop!"
Dario has a line "We gave her a nice honeymoon" which I think implies that she was raped.
10- Dr No's death- I feel this is brutal because of No's inability to save himself from being boiled alive in the nuclear reactor due to his greasy metal hands. It's a better death than being suffocated by a ton of bird sh!t though.
9- Truman Lodge(LTK)- Gunned down and left on the roadside. I'm rating this as number nine as i feel Lodge got off too easily with a quick death compared to Krest.
8- Piz Gloria henchman snowplow death(OHMSS)- The zooming camera shot and the blood make this a brutal death.
7- Franz Sanchez(LTK)- Torched alive by his own petrol/coke mixture and then blown up. Very brutal as i feel Sanchez was getting a taste of his own medicine. The emotional impact of the death adds to the brutality.
6- Elliott Carver(TND)- Bond holding Carver while the sea drill is slowly approaching and then watching as Carver is shredded makes it a brutal death as we don't often get to see PB's sadistic streak as bond. this was a rare occurrence.
5-Milton Krest(LTK)- This is a brutal death as we see Krest's head explode in the chamber with blood and gore splattering on the window. Krest's helplessness as he tries to convince Sanchez that he was set up makes it brutal, in fact it's so brutal that i skip to the next scene when this happens.
4-Gustav Graves(DAD)- Electrocuted then sucked into a jet engine. Couldn't get more brutal than that.
3-Angelo Palazzi (TB)- Largo cutting Angelo's air hose leaving him to drown is very brutal, especially as Angelo thought Largo was going to save him.
2- Alec Trevelayan (GE)- Dropped from a high height from the dish by his former friend, surviving the fall then forced to watch as the dish falls and crushes him.
1-Red Grant(FRWL)- The train fight is very brutal as it feels very real. I feel that Ken Adam's set is being used to it full potential.
" I don't listen to hip hop!"
one of the African hit men, the legs kicking in the final death throes,
a lot harder to do than pulling a trigger ect a very brutal ,human fight to the death
scene
Yes, this and the brutal killing of Slate in QoS and the CR PTS are high up my list for brutality in the Craig films and in Bond films in general.
You must obey the dance commander
You must obey the dance commander
You must obey the dance commander
Not that im complaining though. The Dalton films did well with adding more gritty brutality and in my opinion it was needed at that time.
Apart from the welly boots
Actually, I would have chosen Trevelayan's fight with Bond. I was really impressed by that fight scene.
Another brutal scene for me was the murder of Melina Havelock's parents in FYEO. Actually, I've always found that particular movie a bit brutal.
Here is mine:
10. LTK - Della being killed, Lighter being shark bait, Sanchez being set on fire, that guy being sent into the grinder.
9. GoldenEye - Xenia killing the Canadian admiral, Xenia's death, Xenia and Ourumov slaying everyone in Severnya.
8. TND - The Sea Drill into the Devonshire and then the survivors being gunned down. Carver being shredded by the sea drill.
7. Skyfall - Silva killing Severine.
6. Casino Royale - Gunbarrel scene, Bond being poisoned, Bond wrecking to avoid hitting Vesper, and above all, Bond being tortured.
5. TWINE - the cigar girl blowing herself up. Bond on Elektra's torture chair. Renard getting the plutonium rod into the chest.
4. Die Another Day - Bond being held captive for 14 months of torture. Graves killing his own father, Zoa having the chandelier fall on him. Jinx killing Mr. Kill with the laser to the back of the head.
3. AVTAK - Zorin killing his own men and laughing about it, Mayday being killed by the big bomb, that look on her face sent chills to my spine.
2. DAF - the crematorium, all the deaths that Mr. Winn and Mr. Kidd did.
1. any of them....
Man, having wrote what I have and have seen from those that have posted first, how has Bond not been given an R rating?
1: Brosnan 2: Craig 3: Moore 4: Dalton 5: Connery and 6: Lazenby
As for my top ten here is the list.
10. Casino Royale: Bond's Torture by Le Chiffre
9. Goldeneye: massacre of the Severnya technicians and Xenia's lust in killing them.
8. A View To a Kill: KGB agent getting thrown down the oil well
7. Diamonds are Forever: The crematorium scene, murders of the diamond smugglers by Wint and Kidd
Kidd's death
6. Licence to Kill: Della's death and implied rape, Felix getting maimed by a shark, the deaths of Killifer, Krest, Dario, Heller, and Sanchez.
5. OHMSS: SPECTRE skier getting chopped up by snow plow
4. Tomorrow Never Dies: Deaths of the HMS Devonshire crew, and Stamper machine gunning the survivors
3. Moonraker: Corinne Dufour 's death by dogs very creepy and disturbing like something out of a horror movie.
2. Thunderball: Harpoon rammed into diver's mask
1. Quantum of Solace; Slate's death at Bond's hands
Ewwwwww....... 8-)
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
However, looking within the context of when it was made, Bond's execution of Dent in Dr. No was unprecedented in its brutality
for a mainstream film in 1962. Up until that moment in cinema, only villains (and very disturbed, evil ones at that) killed in such a cold blooded, sadistic fashion, much less the "hero" of the film. It changed how violence could be portrayed in mainstream films.
Death of Tracy...too real. And it took George two takes...one where Bond does not cry. Sad...I would cry if the love of my life was taken.
Stunt action in OHMSS where George does his own stunts. Simple...most of the actor have a stunt man fill it. Lazenby did it himself...and this is why he got the part. When the producers saw him action...they new this was their man
