Never Say Never Again
Never Say Never Again is a somewhat-rewritten 1983 remake of the Thunderball film, with Sean Connery reprising his role as James Bond. It is not part of the "canonical/official" Bond film series from United Artists (in this case, it was released originally by Warner Bros).This film is not considered a James Bond film by most fans, though it was made by Harry Saltzman, one-time partner of Cubby Broccoli, the force behind the Bond films.
Never Say Never Again also marks the beginning of a long legal battle between United Artists and one of the writers of the original scripts, in that copyright of the primary Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld seemed to belong to the writer, and not UA. Oddly enough, the previous 1981 Bond film For Your Eyes Only opened with James Bond finally getting his revenge on Blofeld (albeit uncredited for legal reasons) for the death of his wife Tracy by killing him off... or so we thought. How Blofeld managed to survive this to appear in "Never Say Never" is left up to the viewer.
