Thunderball (1965) is the fourth spy film in the James Bond series after Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964), and the fourth to star Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, which in turn was based on an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham. It was directed by Terence Young with screenplay by Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins. The film follows Bond's mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world ransom for £100 million in diamonds, in exchange for not destroying an unspecified major city in either England or the United States (later revealed to be Miami). The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, the card-playing, eye-patch wearing SPECTRE Number Two. Backed by the CIA and Largo's mistress, Bond's search culminates in an underwater battle with Largo's henchmen. The film had a complex production, with four different units and about a quarter of the film consisting of underwater scenes.[1] Thunderball was associated with a legal dispute in 1961 when former Ian Fleming collaborators Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham sued him shortly after the 1961 publication of the Thunderball novel, claiming he based it upon the screenplay the trio had earlier written in a failed cinematic translation of James Bond. The lawsuit was settled out of court and Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, fearing a rival McClory ...

This fan made title sequence focuses on the concept of Connery -after 10 years -returns for the last time as 007. Thus highlights of Bond's past escapades is featured (like his whole life flashes before him --a play on the opening action sequence). This serves as a recap as well as an attempt to a connect NSNA with the previous Bond films. Of course in reality this direction is not feasible since not only this is a non-official version (not produced by Broccoli's EON Productions) but worse, this is actually just a remake of Thunderball! So for this title sequence I beg viewers to make believe that NSNA is a continuation instead of a remake. Originally I was suppose to use clips only from Sean Connery Bond films. But Blofeld's death scene from DAF was unclear and if there is any lacks the impact to to keep up with Hyman's high notes. So instead I have to use the scene from Roger Moore's FYEO. I also have to use an explosion sequence from "Licence to kill"for cinematic purposes. Also featured at the start is my earlier attempt to create a customized opening gunshot for NSNA (instead of gun barrel which NSNA producers cann't use). I based it in one of the actual chase scenes at NSNA. Not really happy with the result though cause of too much rotoscoping made it look flat and cartoonish. Sadly for those expecting the dancing muses, you may find my version disappointing since I didnot have the chance to inlude them. However you may wish to view an earlier work done by ...
Never Say Never Again, released in 1983 by Orion Pictures, is a remake of the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. Unlike the majority of other Bond films it was not produced by EON Productions. The film stars Sean Connery as British Secret Service agent James Bond 007. Connery had been the first actor to portray Bond in a motion picture, in 1962's Dr No, but after a series of commercially successful films Connery left the franchise in 1971. For Never Say Never Again he portrayed Bond for the seventh and final time on the screen, although he would reprise the character as a voice actor for the 2005 From Russia With Love video game. Although the film was not part of EON's Bond film franchise, subsequent mergers and dealings mean that it is currently owned, like the rest of the series, by United Artists' parent, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer:[1] MGM acquired the distribution rights in 1997 after its acquisition of Orion Pictures. The film also marks the culmination of a long legal battle between United Artists and Kevin McClory that goes back to his working on the original story with Fleming and Jack Whittingham. The title is based on a conversation between Sean Connery and his wife. After initially retiring from the role following Diamonds Are Forever (1971) he told her he would 'never' play James Bond again. Her response was for him to "Never say never again". She is credited at the end of the film for her contribution. As a result, it was the first Bond movie to use a non-Ian Fleming ...

HIGH DEF- ca.youtube.com Well I have said it before...I am a HUGE Bond fan...and a HUGE Darin fan. I just recorded DARIN'S classic underrated version of, "A Taste of Honey"....yes the same song recorded by Herb Alpert... the Beatles and such :) It was written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow in 1960. Now along with this recording, one of my friends told me how much it sounded like a Bond song...and it got me thinking....so here we have the whole opening Bond experience of the 1965 THUNDERBALL... that I mixed up to fit along with my newly recorded song! I surely do hope you enjoy watching it all....the opening scene really has a kick to it, which carries throughout with the song. I was surprised at how well it fit with cues and such. This isn't ment in any way to belittle Tom Jones version of the song, which was simply grand! I just wanted to pay homage to my favourite franchise :) Please do enjoy!!
