Daniel Craig’s violent last outing as Bond in Spectre was most complained about film of 2015
Industry board reveals eye-gouging scene was censored before release
Violent scenes in James Bond's latest outing Spectre triggered more complaints than any other film released in 2015.
There were 40 complaints made to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) about gruesome scenes in the highly anticipated spy thriller, thought to be Daniel Craig's last outing as 007.
Before the film's release the censor warned a scene involving eye-gouging would be too strong for a 12A rating.
It was reduced to "a brief implication of what is happening, with only limited visual detail" before release.
In its annual report the BBFC also attributed complaints to a torture scene but said "although the idea is unpleasant there is limited detail depicted".
It concluded that in the context of an "action film featuring a larger-than-life hero character who always defeats his enemies, this moderate violence is acceptable at 12A".
Spectre ranks as the fourth most complained about film of the decade.
Kingsman: The Secret Service, starring Colin Firth, provoked 38 complaints, mainly about violence, the second highest number in 2015.
Daniel Craig's first Bond film, Casino Royale, released in 2006, received 82 complaints.
The Woman in Black from 2012 is the most complained about film of this decade - it provoked 134 complaints.
