Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kevin McClory won the rights to remake Thunderball after decades of lawsuits, forcing Eon to pretend this film didn't exist. Connery only returned because they paid him $5 million plus profit share.
The 'Never Say Never' title came from Connery's wife suggesting he'd sworn off Bond forever. The arcade battle scene was cutting-edge product placement for Atari, now hilariously dated.
