This film was a make-do film, and yet ended up with a stellar cast, including an almost unknown Kim Basinger, who is off the scales hot in this film. The reason it's good is because Sean Connery was not only a good actor, but he had learned how to run a film. That's a good skill for a famous actor to have to protect his reputation. Connery was such a bad ass overall.

It’s a remarkable story! Not enough has been said about the courage and determination of Jack Schwartzman. Throughout the film’s production, he fought off Broccoli and Company in the London High Court. Despite the budgetary and creative tensions, the end result is one of the best James Bond adventures, a triumph of sheer grit led by Irvin Kershner. Fortunately, a focused and re-energized Sean Connery was the creative glue that held the production together. (And he was in better shape, too!) The cast, the script, the cinematography, the overall style and yes, the music were superior to “Thunderball,” certainly better than the tripe Eon was churning out at the time! Everyone involved with “Never Say Never Again” has earned my thanks. Messieurs Schwartzman, Kershner, and Connery, RIP.

I enjoyed “Never Say Never Again”. It would had been great, however, to add “Easter eggs” in the story, such as bringing back Jack Lord to play Felix Leiter and Ursula Andress in a cameo, as the woman who had gone fishing and finding Bond in the water. The producers could had not dubbed her voice (As it was done in “Dr. No”) with no mention of her name being Honey Ryder. I wasn’t fond of the soundtrack but I did enjoy the theme song, especially the end theme with Lani Hall, Sergio Mendez and the great trumpet solo by Herb Alpert. I had read Kevin McClory wanted to make a few more Bond movies, based off the film scripts of “Thunderball”. If Sean Connery had still refused to return, I would had liked to had seen George Lazenby make a comeback as James Bond.

Quite right! And yes, you would be correct that there were plans to make more Bond films as I've seen the pamphlet in black and white announcing the next project. As for a second Thunderball remake, no doubt you've heard about it, but the attempt went as far to 2009, even after the 'Warhead 2000' project. I remember reading an article at the time (2009) that an Australian production company was working with the McClory estate to produce yet another Thunderball remake entitled 'Blofeld'. Nothing developed afterwards, of course. Also, kudos for mentioning the end credits trumpet bit - the version which, unfortunately to this day, isn't released.

I’ll never forget attending a weekday matinee of NSNA the first week it opened. I had been a Sean Connery as Bond fan since childhood and really lost my interest in the Bond films because of all the campiness of the Roger Moore era (the gondola hovercraft in Moonraker with the pigeon double-take was just too much). I knew NSNA was going to have to separate itself from the EON trademarks like the gun barrel opening and John Barry’s theme, but when the vocal theme song was placed on top of the action scene and credits I remember cringing. It is an okay movie but unlike Sean’s earlier outings, I’m never motivated to rewatch it.

Not gonna hate on it but feels like they said "Oh we got Sean" and acted like the film could rely solely on him. They got some great talent on board but none of them went all in. The project couldn't afford it, cus when you make a Bond movie you do have to go all out (even if the materials not great). Kirshner clearly has enthusiasm for the project but gotta admit his skills have led to way better in the past. Hearing them say "Our Bond is more realistic, the villain isn't a megalomaniac, we're so unique compared to EON" confuses me. The films got a very light and goofy tone, has a lot of humor, and EON had done more grounded villains than NSNA's Largo. The section on script changes show the project was poorly managed, and research the soundtracks production you hear a similarly broken story. From this sounds like the rights issues backed them into a corner. Again I don't wanna hate, I do really enjoy aspects of NSNA, but it's hard to forgive its issues when they're they're frequent. Feels like a messy movie, if fun at parts. The best part is Sean, who gives his best performance since Thunderball. Sad he didn't like the aged Bond idea, sounds like they were post passionate about that. Would've made for a unique Bond movie, and being outside EON's hands this would've been the time to do something different. When they did it in Skyfall Craig wasn't old enough.

Really, bobgoran? Even with Moore’s clown disguise, the Tarzan yell, the stereotyped Indian hoods, the tennis racquet fight, and the “suspense” of a backgammon game? All woven into a convoluted plot involving Faberge eggs and a demented Russian general bent on nuclear war. (YAWN!) And once again, a fine actor - Louis Jourdan - was wasted as a poorly developed villain. (Afghan prince? Please!) At least “Never Say Never Again” had a tighter script, a more cohesive plot, a superior cast, and more emphasis on character. All set against two picturesque locations: Bahamas and the south of France. And rather than “stealing money from Eon,” this film grew out of Kevin McClory’s legitimate rights, based on his pre-Eon collaboration with Ian Fleming. McClory had a contract that granted him the right to make his own Bonds after 1976.
@bobgoran

@@thomaschacko6320 No, it was stolen. McClory never deserved the rights to Thunderball to begin with. The ideas that Fleming mostly based his book on was an earlier version of the Thunderball draft which McClory's had nothing to do with. And SPECTRE clearly came from Fleming because he had used the name before and they share a lot with his version of SMERSH. Most Bond fans I know don't dislike the clown suit in Octopussy. That's because they have WATCHED the movie instead of some random screenshots they have seen. Octopussy is very close to perfection with good story and scenery. Plus, characters and action that is actually memorable. A solid 8/10 from me. NSNA is a disaster. Only positive thing I can think of are the visuals in some scenes, with some good sets and cinematography. It is not up there with the best looking EON films, but above average. Still, everything else is a mess and it is not watchable. Are you maybe related to Schwartzman, McClory or anyone else involved with this production?

@@bobgoran Answering your question first: No, I have no relationship with anyone involved with the Bond films - or any films, for that matter! You, on the other hand, sound like an Eon executive; or a member of the Broccoli family. But, such is the beauty of any art - including film - that it affects people in different ways. See, even we die-hard Bondophiles can disagree. Your version of Kevin McClory’s involvement is something I’m seeing for the first time. Through all the legal back-and-forth, I had never heard McClory accused of theft! The whole issue centered around whether he possessed any rights beyond “Thunderball.” If he hadn’t any legitimate rights, why would Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman have offered him co-producer status on “Thunderball”? And why did they avoid using Blofeld and SPECTRE for so many years, beginning with “The Spy Who Loved Me”? The answer is: McClory, Ian Fleming, and Jack Whittingham co-created SPECTRE for the original “Thunderball” story. When Fleming incorporated their work into his “Thunderball” novel without any joint credit, McClory sued Fleming and won the film rights - along with the rights to nine other scripts and treatments they had developed. (Fleming retained the book rights.) Take note: the novel, the film, and “Never Say Never Again” all cite “an original screen story” by the three men. McClory signed a contract with Eon Productions, granting him the right to produce his own Bond films ten years after the release of the “Thunderball” film - taking us to 1976. Once he started to exercise that right, Eon took action to block him; not surprisingly, considering the profits involved and the fact that Broccoli was now a solo act. (More for him!) The Eon case was that McClory’s rights were limited to a remake of “Thunderball,” nothing more. That is why Jack Schwartzman bought the rights only to the “Thunderball” story, rather than get drawn into litigation over “Warhead” and the other scripts. (McClory retained his rights to them.) But of course, Broccoli didn’t want even that, which is why Schwartzman had to continue fighting him off during the making of “Never Say Never Again.” Schwartzman, Broccoli, and McClory have all passed. Schwartzman’s and McClory’s estates sold their Bond rights to MGM/UA, so you needn’t fear any more insidious plots. For me, the fight was worth it; not for you. Fair enough! The main strength of Schwartzman’s production is that it doesn’t include clown suits, Bond tossing money to Indian villagers, or asinine cracks such as, “This should keep you in curry for awhile.” By the way, this comes from someone who has been WATCHING whole Bond films since the 1960s, and has READ the books, including the recent ones by Anthony Horowitz. Cheers!
