Sean Connery is James Bond. After years of legal battles, Kevin McClory finally released his own James Bond film with a remake of Thunderball, Never Say Never Again. When Spectre steals two nuclear warheads, Bond is travels all over the world to the Bahamas, France and North Africa to track them down. The film starred Sean Connery, returning to the role after 12 years with The Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner taking the helm. As it starred the original James Bond and came out the same year as Octopussy, it resulted in the Battle of the Bonds. Never Say Never Again ultimately lost but was still a success, grossing $160 million at the box office. With it not being part of the main series, it's become a bit of an oddity but does it deserve to be remembered, or were Tom & Joe right to skip this one in the initial rewatch?
