Title: The Fake Bond
Review: There are two problems with "Never Say Never Again." The first is that it is a bad movie. The acting (including Connery) is sub-par, and the action leaves something to be desired. However, the main problem is that this is a cheap knock-off James Bond movie. A remake of "Thunderball," the fourth film installment, "Never Say Never Again" is not released through United Artists, and was not produced by Albert Broccoli or his company, EON Productions. A true Bond fan knows this, and any interested party will notice the absence of 007 trademarks such as the gun-barrel opening and the truly artistic title sequence. In fact, "Never Say Never Again" was released as competition for "Octopussy," the 13th 007 flick, in 1983. So, plain and simple, if you want a good version of the story, buy the orgional "Thunderball."
