Patrick DarmesHOST
And of course, that was all cropped for TV.
Patrick DarmesHOST
And then, you know, when you see a movie like Thunderball or The Spy Who Loved Me in widescreen, you're like, well, there's all this other stuff I never saw before.
Patrick DarmesHOST
Like, what's what is that? Yeah.
Patrick DarmesHOST
incredible but this would be a good movie if they ever saw showed this in a in a theater again i think i'd go see battle of britain that'd be a pretty good one to see
Elan OvadiaHOST
But I think you see my point here.
Elan OvadiaHOST
This is not Thunderball.
Elan OvadiaHOST
This is not Patricia Fearing and Fiona Volpe and Domino Duvall and maybe even, you know, Martine Beswick.
Elan OvadiaHOST
I don't think he bedded Paula.
Boyd HiltonHOST
I think the highlight for me was...
Boyd HiltonHOST
Thunderball which is just such a maverick insane song and to see that performed with gusto by this guy Oliver Thompson who kind of did all the male songs that have been sung by men if you like it was just a brilliant I think it's like an hour hour and a half hour and a half thing I absolutely loved it and my question to you is what is the best James Bond theme tune? Could I say
James DyerHOST
that we did an Empire Bondioki night? You know about this? No.
James DyerHOST
We went to Lucky Voice in Soho and we did every single Bond tune back to back.
Sam JordanHOST
Here, Abe Sherman, while sitting in the passenger seat, covers his mouth with a mask while spraying a gas from the fake fire extinguisher to knock out Mac.
Sam JordanHOST
And still, the helicopter is rather reminiscent of Thunderball 1965.
Sam JordanHOST
I think the second or third James Bond movie with Sean Connery.
Jeffrey HessHOST
Why are people like this? I mean, it's just like a knockout.
Tessa SwelaHOST
Uh, Adolfo Sealy, who you will know as, um, why am I forgetting his name? Largo.
Tessa SwelaHOST
Adolfo Seely, who you will know as Largo from Thunderball, plays the main villain of this, Mr. Thayer, who is also known as Beta.
Tessa SwelaHOST
We'll get into that later.
Tessa SwelaHOST
Agatha Flory as Mildred, who's kind of another sexy woman in this.
Tessa SwelaHOST
The geologist.
Tessa SwelaHOST
The geologist.
Tessa SwelaHOST
And then he plays Blofeld's body, because you don't see his head, in From Russia with Love and Thunderball.
Tessa SwelaHOST
But he actually plays the Blofeld-like character in this.
Michelle Devorah KahnHOST
James Bond willingly inserts himself into an assassination plot involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by the evil Spectre organization.
Michelle Devorah KahnHOST
Option three, Thunderball from 1965.
Michelle Devorah KahnHOST
James Bond heads to the Bahamas to recover two nuclear warheads stolen by Spectre agent Emilio Largo in an international extortion scheme.
Dustin MelbardisHOST
Wow, we haven't done a Connery Bond.
Dustin MelbardisHOST
And here, a fun fact, I've been to Thunderball Lagoon.
Dustin MelbardisHOST
I've been to the cove where that was shot.
Dustin MelbardisHOST
It's awesome.
ScottHOST
One of the ones where I think you could question the color timing on it a little bit.
ScottHOST
I mean, there was things going around on forums about that, about the color timing on the new 4K and Thunderball.
ScottHOST
I thought it looked good, but I do question its authenticity.
ScottHOST
But it still looks good.
Ashley BlakerGUEST
He's dead tired, which is very sick.
Ashley BlakerGUEST
Made me think of in Thunderball.
Ashley BlakerGUEST
Yes.
Ashley BlakerGUEST
When he says, don't disturb my friend.
Paul SiebertHOST
So that year, there were two competing James Bond movies.
Paul SiebertHOST
There was this one, which was a loose remake of Thunderball.
Paul SiebertHOST
and Octopussy, starring Roger Moore.
Paul SiebertHOST
And to give you an idea of how crazy this is, this would be like if Tobey Maguire came back and filmed another Spider-Man movie and it was released, like, four months after Brand New Day.
David C. RobersonHOST
And then we kind of thought, we'll get back to it.
David C. RobersonHOST
Plus, the other big barrier was that we hated fucking Thunderball so hard.
David C. RobersonHOST
The original Sean Connery Thunderball.
David C. RobersonHOST
It was a terrible fucking movie.
David C. RobersonHOST
Terrible.
David C. RobersonHOST
And then...
David C. RobersonHOST
At some point, like the next one after Octopussy, which is where we fell off, is Never Say Never Again, which is a fucking remake of Thunderball with Sean Connery, but as an old man.
David C. RobersonHOST
from a different studio like there was some kind of studio like someone had the rights to that novel and it was fucking terrible and we just haven't watched the movie because we didn't want to watch it and it's just we just needed a break from james bond we're tired of the roger moore era we're tired of you know we don't want to see thunderball again but we'll watch it we'll get
