Met him. He lived down the road from me. Nice guy.

David James well UA actually distributed the film in the us and I presume other countries so I’m not sure.

Good question! Maybe because it was made in Italy there was some international protection for them.

@@Luke-1296 Crickey! UA must have been in need of money.

From what I’ve heard, they weren’t happy about it because it made an already angry Connery even angrier, but there wasn’t much they could do. It was a good paying gig and its shooting schedule didn’t conflict with You Only Live Twice. Even Connery begrudgingly apologized and thanked them for helping his brother.

Not too badly. Saltzman died in 1994. Lee died shortly after Moonraker on 1981, why he wasn't in For Your Eyes Only. Broccoli died in 1996, shortly after GoldenEye, and Maxwell died in 2007. His daughter and stepson has owned EON/Danjaq to this day. I'm told whatever issues they had were long gone, even Sean Connery's long before their respective passings

He wasn't angry with his brother?

Sean Connery later thanked them for at least looking after Neil

Yes this was one of their best episodes! It was so hilarious. They even got a Zardoz reference in the episode! 😂

"What's this moment when Sean Connery's line actually dips BELOW Neil's?" "Oh, that was when Sean made Highlander 2: The Quickening."

@@MattMcIrvin sadly if funny and true! Lol

@Bub Zilla Pyuma Man!

I honestly thought the Mads were JOKING about Sean Connery's brother when they introduced the film to Joel. It wasn't until the opening credits that I was shocked to find out the movie really had Neil Connery.

So basically, you think that they “should have done” all because you don’t get spaghetti western/spy films. How does having a “great supporting cast and such a fairly decent cast” dictate that one “should” make “a more straightforward Spy Film”? Those two things have literally nothing to do with each other. Plenty of Italian movies of this era, even ones with star-studded international casts, were anything but straightforward. Likewise, the protagonists of Italian action movies of this time period were anything but “an everyman.” They were insanely skilled action heroes oozing with comic book panache, as Quentin Tarantino refers to it, and these qualities weren’t necessarily camp. Making Neil Connery a Plastic Surgeon/Hypnotist/Master Archer is right on the money. If they did what you suggested, the film would’ve been far less interesting. You actively seek to make movies worse. Not to mention, you say that you have “Nothing against camp per se,” then proceed to contradict yourself in the rest of the sentence. I like to live by the words of a certain TV producer: “Anything campy is good.” And what’s the point of suggesting all these changes if you’re just going to end your comment with “But still, fun flick”? You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

It's bullshit, you're right

With Christy singing, same team that did the wonderful 'Deep Down'., for Danger Diabolk.

@@wolve-potter5775 He's behind a massive number of movie soundtracks (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, The Untouchables, The Thing) though Kill Bill wasn't one of them (that was RZA). He actually scored The Hateful Eight which got him an Oscar.

I’m actually working on remaking it as it’s own standalone film, while also rectifying a few plot points like the Yashuko thing you just mentioned.

More watchable than Quantum of Solace. I met Neil once or twice. He lived near me. Nice man by the way. Was very flattered when I told him I'd watched this.

"Ohhh, it's the only way he can talk to women!"

It's much better than that

This is a really good movie. It’s fun and a good level of cheesy action that’s satisfying

Never Say Never Again is the SW Holiday Special of Bond.

+Jonathan Muller And neeever say never say never again... never, never say never again... never, never say never again..

I'm not sure how much James Bond lore we should take from this film! Haha

DavidS Videos I know, but I was curious if that bit would've contradicted the actual lore or not. lol

@@StupidMarioBros1Fan It confirms the Bond Codename Theory. See it's fact!

James bond since the novel of his very first story casino royal has always been his real name

Jonas Carlsson whoa. That is just not true 😂. Funny but not true.

WTH I've never seen this it looks so bizarre love your channel ❤

+TrickyJawa I don't think he'll be doing that!As he wouldn't be a James bond reviewer.

+Michelle Murcha even though ok connery isnt a bond movie

TrickyJawa actually its a spin-off of a bond movie because it has bond heritage

outside of the titles and a couple gags those movies hardly reference bond. i put it there with the likes of scary movie rather than a bond spoof

He did, guess he’s not a bond reviewer any more

Patrick Allen? Calvin's favorite narrator (from Bond In India documentary). In a film with Sean Connery's brother!

"Our man from Bond Street"? Bloody hell, what a title.

+DutchBondFan It was even made during the same year.

@@DarthRushy 3 Bond films in one year: This, CR and YOLT!

@@davidjames579 And only YOLT was really any good

@@DarthRushy Depending what mood you're in! OKC and CR can be hilarious.

You're lucky

And the Matt Helm films too?

Its not I just watched it today, the 3 movies that came out that year, this is the worst tbh

+Gizmo Sloth Still none. xD

mark pyland still popular now. just with a different name.

In Italian films of the time, it was commonplace to dub in all sound afterwards. Not really in Hollywood or British films. I still don't understand why none of the Scottish characters weren't dubbed with Scottish accents.
