Never Say Never Again as forever been an outlier in the James Bond franchise, too far removed to be a proper Bond movie but also too close to really be anything else. In this video essay, I take a look at the bizarre Thunderball remake and consider its failings as a film, as a Bond film, and as an opportunity to do something unique.
