A scene, in which French hitman Patrice (played by Ola Rapace) shoots a Chinese security guard after entering a skyscraper in Shanghai, has been completely removed. Chinese subtitles in another scene are different in meaning from the original dialogue in English, which talks about child prostitution in China. The scene involves Bond asking a bar hostess (Berenice Marlohe) in the gambling heaven of Macau if she was forced into prostitution at an early age and her body tattooed by the kidnappers. The original lines remain in the soundtrack but the Chinese subtitles suggest that Bond is asking her about being coerced into the gang. 

The Chinese subtitles have also softened a dialogue in another scene in which the villain from Macau, Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem), talks about being tortured by Chinese authorities while working for MI6, the British spy agency, in Hong Kong. He tells Bond that he suffered immense torture at the hands of his interrogators before attempting to kill himself. 

The screening of the 007 film has been delayed apparently to help homegrown films like 'Back to 1942' and 'The Last Supper' attract audiences without competition, sources said. Skyfall, the highest grosser among 007 films, has so far earned over $1 billion worldwide.
