We tested the hypothesis that popular movies are becoming more violent by analyzing James Bond films. This series of 22 films spans 46 years and is one of the world's longest-running and highest-grossing film franchises.1 As these films are rated either PG or (since 1989) PG-13, they are deemed suitable for, and marketed to, children and adolescents. Given the popularity of the franchise, not only is the probability of exposure to a James Bond film reasonably high, but it is likely that these films reflect the levels of violence in other, similarly rated, popular films. Since ratings systems are generally designed to protect children and adolescents from sexual content, not violence, this is of interest.
