By the time Connery returned to the role in Never Say Never Again, he was a veteran actor playing a veteran spy. Here is a 007 who seems just as likely to blow off his investigation and chill at the resort as to save the world. Sean Connery walks through Thunderball, perhaps because he was disillusioned with the role by the time of production or maybe because it was such a large production that it was impossible to remain tethered to the notion that Bond is charged with locating two stolen nuclear bombs being used to blackmail the west. The question on everyone’s mind in 1983 was, “How does the remake compare?” It’s time for an answer. It was released in 1983, just four months after Octopussy, the thirteenth “official” Bond movie.

You can go crazy sorting through the convoluted legal history behind this match-up, but suffice it to say that Never Say Never Again is a remake of Thunderball and that it was not made by the same production company as nearly every other James Bond movie (the other exception being 1967’s Casino Royale).
