Recently restored and re-mastered for the highest quality picture and sound quality via the state-of-the-art Lowry process digital frame-by-frame restoration, 007's action-packed thrill-ride adventures are primed for Blu-ray Disc for the first time ever in high definition. LICENCE TO KILL and THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN join recently released Bond on Blu-ray Disc catalog titles DR. NO, DIE ANOTHER DAY, LIVE AND LET DIE, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, THUNDERBALL, GOLDFINGER, MOONRAKER and THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH.

Licence To Kill Synopsis:
James Bond turns renegade to hunt down a master criminal in this pulse-pounding thrill-ride that's packed with awesome stunts, subtle humor and explosive confrontations. Timothy Dalton brings urgency, charm and deadly determination to his portrayal of the super-agent, who leaves the British Secret Service and begins a fierce vendetta after his friend Felix Leiter (David Hedison) is brutally attacked by drug lord Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi).

The Man With The Golden Gun Synopsis:
James Bond has been marked for death, and he'll need all of his lethal instincts and charm to survive in this action-packed adventure! Roger Moore returns as Agent 007 and faces off in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with assassin Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). Featuring such memorable characters as henchman Nick Nack (Herve Villechaize) and Bond girl Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland) - as well as a wild automobile chase through Bangkok and Bond's stunning confrontation against an entire martial arts school - The Man With The Golden Gun delivers non-stop excitement!
