Thunderball	comment	The One Withâ€¦ the underwater scenes... And the Jetpack.The fourth James Bond film by Eon Productions, Thunderball saw the return and last directing gig of Terence Young in the series, and starred Sean Connery. It came out on December 29, 1965 in the UK. The Title Theme Tune was sung by Tom Jones.The SPECTRE organization hijacks two atomic bombs, and holds the major countries of the West to a hefty ransom, threatening to destroy two major cities. James Bond is dispatched to the Bahamas to investigate and stop them.The storyline was recycled for the non-Eon Productions Bond film Never Say Never Again, in which a now much older Connery reprised his role as Bond. Columbia Pictures was (at one time) planning to remake Thunderball again, this time casting Connery as Ernst Stavro Blofield, but a court ruled against them in the matter of the rights to the James Bond character. MGM eventually bought out NSNA from its producer as leverage in the legal dispute.Preceded by Goldfinger and followed by You Only Live Twice.

It could be considered justified because he suspected (rightly) that Bond was suspicious of him, and knowing that Bond was the Arch-Enemy of the organization might have firstly incorrectly (but reasonably) assumed that Bond was actually there to investigate him (or worse, their plot), and secondly might be acting on "kill on sight" pre-orders. Had he succeeded there wouldn't be a problem, and Bond was starting to look into him anyway after seeing his tattoo.

Helga Brandt makes almost the exact same mistake a film later, though she's instead killed by her superior for being a moron. Largo himself provides a classic example. He catches Bond in his pool fighting with one of his men. The mook with him is just about to shoot Bond, while Largo stops him and instead traps Bond in there to be eaten by his sharks. Naturally, Bond uses this to escape - there were no security precautions keeping Bond from swimming to the shark pool and leaving from there apart from the sharks themselves.

In a major case of Values Dissonance, this is Played for Laughs, and is in fact one of the rare cases the film is less politically correct than the book; in the book he agrees to keep silent without a fuss and they do it perfectly consensually later on.

Thunderball / int_bcd27e37	comment	Improbable Aiming Skills: A particularly weird one, where one of Largo's henchmen is aiming at Bond as he dances with Fiona. Bond spins around at the last moment so that he hits Fiona instead...right between two of Bond's fingers!note This was likely because a fake blood pack was beneath her clothes, with Connery squeezing it to make it look like she was bleeding.

Thunderball / int_ce1c73e2	comment	Just Plane Wrong: The film gets a couple things wrong about the Avro Vulcan. The Vulcan only has a range of 2600 miles. Even assuming the jet was fully fueled for the planned exercises, that puts Fake Derval ditching in the Atlantic 1600 miles short of the Bahamas (where the bombs would have been both unrecoverable due to depth, and well beyond the range of helicopter searches from the Nassau area). The Vulcan famously did make 4,000 mile round trips several times during the Falklands War about twenty years after this film (traveling from Ascension Island to strike the Argentine-held Port Stanley airfield), but it required midair refueling. When Bond dives the sunken Vulcan bomber, he enters the cockpit through a small door via the bomb bay. It is not possible to access the bomb bay of a Vulcan from the cockpit due to being separated by bulkheads, the nose gear and a fuel tank.

Thunderball / int_ff6d8ad9	type	Adaptational Nationality
Thunderball / int_ff6d8ad9	comment	Adaptational Nationality: Domino, who was Italian in the book (real name Dominetta "Domino" Vitali), is French in the film. Fiona Volpe was originally an Irishwoman named Fiona Kelly, but in the film is Italian, like her actress. Strangely, her first name was kept intact, even though "Fiona" was much more appropriate to an Irishwoman than an Italian (especially one probably born in the late 1930s if she is of similar age to her actress.)
