- NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN is the most POLARIZING of the JAMES BOND MOVIES. But was it truly that bad or is its status as a non-canon film the reason it is so hated? With a troubled history going back decades before the filming even started, you will be SHOCKED that the film was ever made. #movies #seanconnery #jamesbond #jamesbond007 #defense #hated #underrated #polarized #defending #badmovies #badmoviereview #critical #review #filmreview #drama #tragedy #ianfleming #thriller #spy
A good decent James Bond movie! I love-love-love "Jack Petachi stealing 2 thermonuclear warheads" and "The death of Fatima Blush" scenes! And what a charming gentleman agent was Sean Connery in this! Even at the age of 53 he was sooooooo good! He's better in NSNA(1983) than in DAF(1971)! By the way, greatest line in Bond history: "Well, to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia!".
I openly admit the first time I watched Never Say Never again as an adult, I hated it. I think it was because I didn't get where the characters came from. Clearly, the movie grew on me and I think it is very strong. Diamonds are Forever has been the reverse. Thank you for commenting.
Remake return: Clark Gable in Red Dust and Mogambo.
The movie was made because of Kevin McClory's obsession with the project. I read an article years ago where he convinced himself that he created James Bond. It was a means to an end and a mess.
That's fascinating! It makes a lot of sense and is truly unfortunate. I wonder how long Kevin McClory knew Ian Fleming before they worked on the project together.
@@ReputablyRubbish How long they knew each other isn’t the point. The fact remains that Fleming, McClory, and Jack Whittingham worked together before Broccoli and Saltzman entered the picture. McClory maintained that, in addition to “Longitude 78 West,” they had prepared nine other scripts or treatments. Furthermore, the “Thunderball” contract McClory signed with Eon gave him the right to make those Bond films after 1976 - not just a remake of “Thunderball.”
Producer Jack Schwartzman bought McClory’s underlying rights to “Thunderball;” and that’s how “Never Say Never Again” got underway. (He avoided the Sean Connery-Len Deighton script, “Warhead,” since that was already a target of litigation.) Schwartzman has my eternal admiration for taking on Eon and seeing his project through. Irvin Kershner always gave credit to Connery for his input and Bond expertise. Whatever the legal problems, “Never Say Never Again” was worth the wait. It was a financial success and received much better reviews than “Octopussy.”
Amidst all the noise, “Never Say Never Again” remains one of the best James Bond films. Well above “Octopussy,” “Man With The Golden Gun,” or other Eon carnivals. It was certainly a better farewell for Sean Connery than that dated, asinine Vegas-based circus, “Diamonds Are Forever.” With regard to its cast, script, and score, “NSNA” was superior to “Thunderball” in every way.
The unsung hero of this saga is Jack Schwartzman, the entertainment lawyer - turned producer - who had the guts to take on Broccoli/Eon in the London High Court. And he was forced to do so throughout the making of “Never Say Never Again.” He succeeded where Kevin McClory had failed.
I realize some are slow to grasp it, but this production could not use the Bond theme or the “gun barrel” opening due to copyright reasons. Schwartzman knew this, but plowed ahead anyway. Director Irvin Kershner, despite the script and budgetary problems, gave it his all and praised Connery for his focus and professionalism.
For this old Bond fan, the result was worth the wait.
When I first watched Never Say Never Again I thought it was stupid. It grew on me in time.
Well, I like Octopussy(6 June 1983) and NSNA(7 October 1983) equally! "Tarzan yell" was awful but everything else is great in Octopussy! I think older Moore(55) was very charming gentleman as well as older Connery(53)! Great Bond moments in both films: "And that's for 009!" & "Well, to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia!". ***** For me, NSNA(1983) is better than: CR(1967), DAF(1971), LALD(1973), TMWTGG(1974) and... almost all Daniel Craig movies! Skyfall(2012) is hugely overrated and Spectre(2015) and NTTD(2021) are the worst Bond movies ever!
It's a really decent movie actually! Connery was great in NSNA!@@ReputablyRubbish
Also don’t forget this was the first black Felix Leiter in Bernie Casey.
Some think the casting of Jeffrey Wright was a homage to Bernie Casey.
"a remake with the same actor in the same starring role"
Peter Cushing played Sherlock Holmes in TWO very-different versions of "THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES". The 1st was in 1959, from Hammer Films. It looks stunning, but has almost nothing to do with the novel it took its name from. The 2nd was in 1968, 2 episodes of the BBC TV series. It's one of the most authentic adaptations of the book (out of more than 2 DOZEN of them), the changes & re-arranging of some scenes actually improves on the structure of the novel, and Cushing's Holmes is SO much more likable in the TV version!
I admit I am not familiar with most of the film or TV Sherlock presentations. But I highly recommend Young Sherlock Holmes. Not only a wonderful film with a post credit scene but also the first use of CGI. Truly wonderful.
It’s better than Octopussy and a few others Moore did.
Careful who you say that around.
I mean Moonraker is still the highest grossing and…isn’t great
The only Bond movie that's remotely bad is the 1967 Casino Royale, a classic bad film
The 1967 Casino Royale wasn't even entertaining!
Fatima blush the best female villain in my Option
For a while I thought she was terrible until I realized her over the top nature was exactly who she was and how perfect her portrayal was.
Octopussy is the worst movie ever made. Anything Moore did sucks. Your entire video is wrong.
Thank you for commenting. The funny thing is, I used to think Octopussy was one of the worst but recently re-watched it and realized there are far worse. As for the worst movie ever made... I'm working on videos for those.
@@ReputablyRubbish The only "James Bond" film I would ever possibly rank among "worst MOVIES ever made" would be the 1967 atrocity from Charles K. Feldman. It's NOT EVEN FUNNY, for God's sake!
By comparison, I really like the "CLIMAX!" LIVE tv episode from 1954. It adapts the first half of the book (I never liked the 2nd half), Bond gets out of his predicament and kills the villain himself (rather than being saved by the Russians), and I rank Peter Lorre as one of the BEST Bond villains, EVER.
