Never Say Never Again Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Irvin Kershner
Genres: Action
Rating:
The title of the 1983 James Bond adventure Never Say Never Again is a self-mocking reference to star Sean_Connery's insistence back in 1971 that he would never play Bond again. Reportedly, the huge salary offered Connery was but one consideration that brought him back to the 007 fold; the other was the producers' assurance that Connery would have full control over all aspects of production, a promise that was not kept often enough to the star's liking. Essentially, this film is a remake of the 1965 Bond flick Thunderball (the producers were able to get away with this due to a legal tangle involving the original 1961 Ian_Fleming novel). Bond emerges from cozy retirement to cross swords with Largo (Klaus_Maria_Brandauer), a megalomaniacal business exec who steals several nuclear missiles, intending to bring the World Powers to their knees. Kim_Basinger plays Domino, Largo's mistress, whose loyalty Bond secures when she learns that Largo was responsible for the death of her brother. In addition to Basinger, the film boasts a toothsome villainess by the name of Fatima Blush (played by Barbara_Carrera). After wrapping Never Say Never Again, Sean_Connery swore that this was his absolutely final performance as James Bond; thus far, he's kept his word. Hal Erickson, Rovi
