Plot: The title of the 1983 James Bond adventure Never Say Never Again is a self-mocking reference to star Sean Connery's insistence back in 1971 that he would never play Bond again. Reportedly, the huge salary offered Connery was but one consideration that brought him back to the 007 fold; the other was the producers' assurance that Connery would have full control over all aspects of production, a promise that was not kept often enough to the star's liking. Essentially, this film is a remake of the 1965 Bond flick Thunderball (the producers were able to get away with this due to a legal tangle involving the original 1961 Ian Fleming novel). Bond emerges from cozy retirement to cross swords with Largo (Klaus Maria Brandauer), a megalomaniacal business exec who steals several nuclear missiles, intending to bring the World Powers to their knees. Kim Basinger plays Domino, Largo's mistress, whose loyalty Bond secures when she learns that Largo was responsible for the death of her brother. In addition to Basinger, the film boasts a toothsome villainess by the name of Fatima Blush (played by Barbara Carrera). After wrapping Never Say Never Again, Sean Connery swore that this was his absolutely final performance as James Bond; thus far, he's kept his word. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

bland!

To begin, I'd like to state I love Connery's 007 in the 60's.
But the 80's weren't good to him. He really looks out of shape in this film. I'll take Moore 'Octopussy' anyday over this. The DVD I watched INCLUDES the deleted scene everyone's been stinkin' about in these reviews. On the positive side, I quite enjoyed seeing the CENTIPIDE arcade machine in its original form. Yes, I'm an 80's geek!

DVD just fine

Just got my DVD. The scene is there and intact.

This is a non-remastered DVD. Still in 2.0 stereo sound and with minimal extras.

The movie is great. Good to see Connery back and in charge. One of the funnest rides I've had in a long time.

If not for the aged print and stereo sound, this could easily be a 5 star product. Highly recommended for any fan of 007 or the action/spy genre in general.

Whether by direction or lack of script, these two women are terrible in this movie. I know its camp but man, this was bad. At least I could have laughed through it.

Decent, But Not As Good Has Hyped And Hoped

I think ths James Bond movie is a bit overrated by professional critics because they were so happy to see Sean Connery end his 12-year hiatus from playing Bond that they didn't dare criticize the film.

What disappointed me most was the ending. After investing two hours into the film, you expect a less-hokey, more satisfying ending. Also - and this may be nitpicking, but I was disappointed in not seeing the regular actors in the supporting roles such as Miss Moneypenny, Q, Felix Leiter, etc.

On the positive side, there was plenty of unique action scenes, particularly early on, and the two villains were interesting. I thought Klaus Maria Brandauer was the more intriguing of the two because he was so low-key and looked the "nice guy next door." He wasn't your normal Bond villain.

This had plenty of "skin," for a PG movie, especially with Kim Basinger starring, never being an actress known for hiding her figure. All in all, it's a "fair" Bond and nothing else. Just because Connery is in it, it doesn't mean it's automatically good. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan proved they could play the role well, too.
