Casino Royale (2006) runs 144 minutes (2h 24m) in its theatrical cut. Its end credits run about 4 minutes with no extra scene, and it exists in cut theatrical versions and uncut versions on 4K UHD and UK 15-rated discs.
The theatrical cut means the version shown in cinemas. That version sets the baseline for home releases. Other editions restore footage trimmed for ratings.

How long is the film?
The BBFC lists the cinema version at 144m 7s in its BBFC classification listing. Rotten Tomatoes also lists 2h 24m for the 17 Nov 2006 US release from Sony Pictures at PG-13 in its Rotten Tomatoes film page.
Standard Blu-ray editions are listed at 144 minutes. Listed times can shift by 1–6 minutes from PAL speedup and platform rounding. Budget about 2h 30m with trailers.
Is there anything after the credits?
No. The credits run about 4 minutes and contain no extra or post-credits scene. MediaStinger reports only the traditional "JAMES BOND WILL RETURN" tagline in its MediaStinger credits breakdown.
You can leave when the story ends. You will miss no plot beat. Stay only if you enjoy credit sequences.
Why do versions differ?
British censors required cuts to Le Chiffre's torture of Bond. The BBFC says the edits removed lingering rope shots, close facial reactions, and used a distant beating shot instead. That change allowed 12A/12 rather than 15. The US version faced separate trims.
IMDb's alternate-versions record says the bathroom fight, bomb-maker shooting, and stairwell fight were shortened for PG-13. Longer punches, sink-holding, and close-ups were removed. An uncut UK version restored torture-scene material. MI6-HQ reported its 15 classification for the 2012 Bond 50 Blu-ray set. That disc gave UK viewers the international cut.
Which version should you choose?
Pick by how complete you want the action to feel. Blu-ray.com documents the 4K Ultra HD release as carrying the full uncut/extended version rather than the cut PG-13 master in its Blu-ray.com release listing.
Check the rating label before renting or buying. A PG-13 or 12A label signals the shortened master.
- Choose standard Blu-ray or streaming at 144 minutes for the familiar theatrical edit.
- Choose 4K UHD for the complete fight and torture footage.
- Choose a UK 15-rated disc for the restored international cut.
