Read a great story about the re-make, Never say Never.
Apparently Moore and Connery, who were longstanding friends, hatched a plot for Moore to come on set and in the last shot of that film, when Connery walks down the street, bump into each other
Sadly the producers found out about it.....
That was the only one not made by the Broccolis right? Basically the same story as Dr No, there was some intellectual property dispute between them and the writer IIRC? An ageing Connory (at least by Bond standards) joined by Edward Fox, Kim Baysinger and a bit part for Rowan Atkinson
Thunderball.
Barbara Carrera was absolutely HAF
The movie itself was good stuff too, cool action scenes, beautiful locations and Connery actually made an effort

Ah Thunderball, that's right. Yes Fatima Blush was her name. It's probably dated, but I quite enjoyed it too. The video game Bond played with the villain seemed pretty cool at the time, Domination

Maybe there could be a separate thread for Bond gobblers?
You’re not in charge here. Just relax and take some viagra. It might make you Roger Moore

Not the first time and hopefully won’t be the last time that I show my appreciation for Vince Vaughn and posit that he’s vastly underrated
You’ll laugh, you’ll get dusty eyes, and be happier for watching it

Brilliant movie
Need to revisit it

Warfare
Bold choice from the director et al. to portray a realistic take of modern warfare, starting with the mundane boredom of manning an OP to the chaos of rapid action.
Probably not what the average movie goer expects to see from a war movie, but this is a very good realistic take.

@MiketheSnow I thought it had a cool ending though, different to most in the genre, shame about the previous 170 mins...

Yeah the credits were the best thing about it

Even for a movie of that era it was absolutely ridiculous that Dr No summoned someone to his island and his master plan to kill Bond was to.........put a spider in his hotel room.......
Dr No was a crazy mastermind disfigured, monstrous and lucky to be alive. And his limbs were spider like. Thematic stupid death is a thing! Yes I had all the books when young(er).
It is critics like you who are making all the evil criminal masterminds leave showbusiness. Unless they are ex-wives with plenty of mushrooms.
PS being killed by a spider in NZ would be a great murder weapon idea as no one would believe it.. -

Damn that's harsh, I wanted a straight down the line gangster film, which it isn't, but on it's own merits I can't see how it only gets a 1 Dusk. 1 Dusks (or 1 Slow Mos) are reserved for Zac Snyder films (except 300).
