1:00 Actually he hadn't done it before...this was the first time the "Gunbarrel Intro" was done by Sean Connery himself, in the 3 previous movies it was always his stunt double Bob Simmons (he can be seen as "widow" in the opening sequence)!
Bond movies usually start with an "opening gambit", sometimes with no connection to the main plot, usually featuring a dramatic escape.
Domino is one of the sexiest Bond girls.
I love this film. & the ending is the best which they copied in the dark knight.
Fun fact for this one: before Luciana Paluzzi was cast as the motorcycle-riding villain SPECTRE agent Fiona Volpe, she co-starred as the motorcycle-riding villain THRUSH agent in the series pilot for James Bond knock-off _The Man from U.N.C.L.E_ . I guess jumpsuited Italian chicks on bikes was some kind of fetish.
I think in the '60s, they now had smaller, lighter-weight underwater film cameras and suddenly underwater sequences were all the rage. _Sea Hunt_ starring Lloyd Bridges a big hit on US TV (which he later satirized in _Hot Shots Part Deux_ ), Irwin Allen's _Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea_ was a movie and TV series (co-starring 2-time Felix Leiter actor David Hedison. Oh, and he starred in a short-lived TV series along with Luciana Paluzzi.), and the _Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau_ specials started out on commercial TV before moving to public broadcasting.
One of my favorite parts of the Bond movies starting with _From Russia With Love_ and continuing through _Diamonds are Forever_ was that Ford Motor Company was paying for product placement, so US Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln models kept showing up in unlikely exotic locations all over the world. In this one there's a brand new Mustang convertible and a Lincoln Continental suicide-door convertible in Jamaica, and the car they blew up in England was an '57 Fairlane 2-door; I guess they didn't want to explode a new Ford, but an old one was OK.
I’m glad her voice was not dubbed.
I know a lot of people give this movie flack because the final underwater fight scene, but I think they more than made up for it with just how fucking brutal it was.
In the other bond movies, nobody ever looks like their dying or in pain or bleeding, but this was the first bond movie for me where they really do.
Between that, the sharks and the constant risk of drowning, these underwater fights had a realistic sense of danger, and a lot of that is because the real-life actors actually WERE in danger.
Back to Bond again fellas?!
Well alright.
I didn't know that Thunderball was first conceived as an original story to be the first-ever Bond film.
That with Broccoli & Saltzman and the film studio, the deal wasn't concrete with getting the rights from Fleming.
Making it into the 9th novel without permission does sound pretty bad, even if the novel was good.
The whole legal dispute should be an documentary and how it lead to "Never Say Never Again" (1983).
On a high note, Bond No.4 is pretty good.
The plot, action, quips, villians and both Bond girls especially Claudine Auger as Domino (dubbed voice, shocking)
The ocean itself was like a whole other character couldn't get away from.
Music wise, the score by John Barry and the theme performed by Tom Jones are great.
In 1965 SCUBA, along with underwater filming, was still new and exotic. Now it is a bit like watching someone's vacation video, but it was so influential back then that in the '80s (when the kids of the 60s and 70s were grown up) hundreds of thousands were being certified as SCUBA divers annually - this has dropped off significantly.
Thunderball is Soooooooo Sloooooooow... until they suddenly realise "SHIT. We've only got ten minutes left!"
I know you 2 are having fun with the idea that the phrase "Handle like eggs" is stenciled on the 2 stolen atomic bombs in this film but that is actually accurate for weapons of the time period as well as other sensitive electronic equipment like gyroscopes. Banging the weapons around would harm the sensitive nature of the electronics which would could possibly lead to a malfunction. It would not likely set off the weapon though. You could have an explosion occur near one of these weapons and it not set it off but it would likely spread the radioactive material around.
Largo tortured Domino with a cigarette and ice cubes. She still managed to follow him and spear him underwater.
Not sure what the technique he was using was, but it's scientifically fact that putting ice on a fresh burn actually makes the burn hurt even worse.
Thunderball definition: Mushroom cloud, a nuclear explosion effect, sometimes known as a 'thunderball'
She stepped on a sea urchin. Bond sucked out the spines out of her foot.
Domino wears a black and white swimsuit, just like the domino game.
The army wanted the breathing device.
There's a mistake in here Q stated that the watch has a geiger counter not the camera
Fatima Blush gave James Bond his greatest rapture.
I've missed your snarky back and forth. It's time to go back to Bond!
Ah...underwater fight scenes...the drum solo of the action movie lol
I hope there is a re-edit for the Living Daylights and Licence to Kill. Living Daylights reaction is just 11 minutes.
Gentlemen, I know that it is an unpopular opinion, but I prefer Never Say Never Again to this film. This movie, like Goldfinger before it, suffers from having good pacing only until the latter part of the film. Goldfinger starts to crawl once the plot moves to Kentucky and this film slows everytime we go underwater. The production team were really proud of their capability to film underwater and took full advantage of that by filming extensive footage that was hardly cut at all by the editor. Goldfinger also has scenes that go on too long, like the entire Fort Knox heist, at least until they get into the building. The underwater fight in this film almost can't be followed with the only saving grace is the different colored suits for each side. NSNA at least doesn't drag the water scenes out. I concede that it has a lot of silliness in it, especially the video game sequence, but overal I think it paces well and I love the self awareness that Connery was a bit too old to be Bond at that point. I think the actors are better in NSNA...well at least they didn't have to be dubbed...lol But again, I realize I am the minority with this opinion.
50:30 complete comedy 🤣🤣🤣
Thunderball reaction = instant subscribe
The guy in the glasses isn't very bright. He keeps asking questions about things which would be obvious if he paid attention to the movie.
J.B. never says goodbye. Just comes and goes.
37:15 One of the best quotes 😂
You Two Remind me of the Guys in "Hot Fuzz"! .... Yeah Ya Do!
Not the first time we've been told that 😁
Have you seen the movie Haywire?
No
Overall, I like it a lot better than Goldfinger, which sounds blasphemous, but as a film, I just think it's better made in almost every area. Having said that, even when I watched this for the first time as a young teenager in the mid 90s and got into the Bond films and books, I had a hard time getting past the r-word vibes of the health club scenes. Sure, James Bond is a womanizer and that's one of the reasons he's so beloved, but consent is a big deal to me, as someone whose father wasn't big on it. It's hard to get past that one scene. In Goldfinger, you could argue that Pussy Galore could have gotten away if she really wanted to, but here, Bond basically blackmails her, suggesting he can keep her from being losing her job if she gives in to him. I'm not on board with that. The best Bond/Bond girl relationships are based on the woman falling for him on her own without coercion. Tracy and Vesper are my 2 favourites for that reason. They had agency in those situations and chose Bond because they actually liked the guy. It's a lot more cool when women are just all over you naturally and you don't have to force it. If you have to force it, you're not much of a ladies man. I don't want to live vicariously through a guy who has to force himself on women who don't want him. The whole point of James Bond is that he's a cool, suave, super spy, not that he's just a creep who women hate. That's not cool. Who is he, Donald Trump? 😂. But otherwise, this is great. The underwater scenes are pretty groundbreaking for the time and I think this was the first one shot in true widescreen format. It's the first Bond film that really takes advantage of its location.
I like your reasoning and agree with your comments about how Bond really pushes consent in this film even more than he did in Goldfinger. However, I am in what I guess is the majority as I personally like Goldfinger better than this film even though I think the first 2 acts of this film are brilliant. Both films suffer from bloated 3rd acts but I think the extended underwater scenes are harder to watch than the bloat that is in Goldfinger. The rear projection and sped up film at the end of Thunderball is really bad. But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I think we can agree that both films have some of the best and not so great scenes in the franchise and they are both iconic in that they set the standard for the tropes going forward with the franchise.
