Hey everyone! The next James Bond film on the James Bond movie marathon is here and this one was so fun! The underwater James Bond film as I like to call it. The action in this one was very interesting from the speed up shots to the amazing under water fighting. Also props to the sharks, their acting was great. Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)

"Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead." This is my dad's personal favorite James Bond movie. He was very into scuba divining until the early 90s. Fun Fact: In the underwater scenes, where Bond encounters sharks, Sir Sean Connery was supposed to be protected by clear plastic panels shielding him from sharks in close-ups. However, the panels only extended about three feet in height and sharks could swim over them. As a result, in some scenes (notably during the pool fight at Largo's mansion), Connery got much closer to the real sharks than he wanted. Director Terence Young said in an interview that scenes used in this movie where Bond reacts in fright at the approach of a shark were miscues, in which Connery was reacting with genuine terror as a shark approached unobstructed by plastic shielding. Bonus Fact: Sir Sean Connery performed the gun-barrel sequence for the first time because of the new Panavision process used in the movie. Beginning with this movie, the sequence would be performed by the actor playing Bond in the movie.

Thunderball is where Sean Connery first does the gun barrel sequence for his own James Bond movie.

The huge yacht explosion at the end was way more powerful than expected. Special FX supervisor John Stears (got an Oscar for this movie) was given experimental rocket fuel to use for this scene, but he had no experience with it and seriously underestimated its power. He had covered the entire boat with it and when it detonated, the blast was so powerful it shattered windows in Nassau, about 30 miles away.

The name is cool, the theme song slaps, the underwater scenes slap. Also, you kinda said "Goldeneye" instead of "Goldfinger" the entire time XD

This was the first Connery Bond film where Sean was the actor for the gunbarrel sequence at the start.

When you were recreating the gun barrel walk at the beginning of your vid, I thought you were carrying a load of laundry, lol. Nice one :)

Thunderball was the point where the series had become an established blockbuster. As well received as From Russia With Love had been, it was Goldfinger that was the huge commercial breakthrough. By the time Thunderball had been set up for the next year, we saw the first big wave of James Bond merchandising, including everything from expensive watches and cologne to diecast models of the Aston Martin and action figures for children. So yes, at this point the films had become a little broader and goofier, and each film had to top the previous one in spectacle. You'll see the apotheosis of this process in the next film, You Only Live Twice.

"We're going to get some cool underwater sequences". Thus are demons summoned.

I think he got the point so many great lines in this great bond film

Love the shirt! RIP the late great Keith Haring

The original script for this was written in the 50s. Ian Fleming was trying to get a Bond film produced on his own. When talks fell through he turned the script into a novel. The co-writer of the script, Kevin McClory, later claimed rights to elements in the script (Blofeld, Spectre) and said he had the right to make his own Bond movie. But he only had the right to remake Thunderball. Which he did with Never Say Never Again.

Great reaction! This is actually my second favorite Sean Connery Bond film but I can see why a lot of people don't rank it highly. My Sean Connery Bond ranking: 1. From Russia with Love 2. Thunderball 3. Goldfinger 4. You Only Live Twice 5. Dr. No 6. Diamonds are Forever

Everything about this film is bigger in scope. It looks gorgeous, vibrant and epic in scale. The music is also brilliant. This is the high water mark (no pun intended) production wise whilst still remaining relatively down to earth (or underwater) before they went a bit OTT.

Tom Jones, who sang the signature tune, passed out at the end of the recording because of the long note right at the end!

I was looking forward to you getting to this point. This is where the action in the Bond movies starts to take off. Just bigger, more epic. And the soundtracks start to become amazing! Enjoy the journey.

Domino always wears black and white outfits to match her name.

This is my personal favorite of the Connery era.

This was like STAR WARS when it came out. Theaters actually ran it all night to hold the audiences.

When the boat blew up the explosion was so intense that it shattered windows in houses that were miles away. Paula was played by one of the gypsy girls in the cat fight in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. The effect of Bond in the same pool as the sharks was achieved by putting a glass partition between Sean Connery and the real sharks. One of the sharks, however, swam over the top of the partition into Sean Connery's side of the pool. Production designer Ken Adam said, "I never saw Sean get out of the water so fast." The women swimming in the opening credits were photographed naked and the double in the jet pack was its inventor. They asked him not to wear a helmet while flying the pack because the producers felt that didn't look "Bond like," but he refused.

Establishing that they're in Paris without having a placement card saying Paris. Also I miss face to face meetings at work. Domino was my first Bond girl crush

Martine Beswick also played one of the Gypsy Girls who have a fight in From Russia with love. She was also in a few Hammer films. Her best of these was Dr.Jekyll and Miss Hyde, where she played miss Hyde. Please could react to the Hammer film classic Dracula (Horror of Dracula) from 1958. One of the great Dracula films. It made a star of Christopher Lee in his first Dracula role.

My favorite Bond movie! Top 5: 1 Thunderball 2 Casino Royale 3 From Russia With Love 4 The Living Daylights 5 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

Btw, if you wanna see the behind the scenes for this, just search for Inside Thunderball Documentary and you shall find your info.

Now you know where doctor evil gets his obsession with sharks with lasers on their heads

Love this movie. All I adore. My favourite childhood Bond movie is up next You Only Twice. Best way to treat Thunderball is with patience and on a big screen if you're looking for tips.😎

The actor anthony dawson who played professor Dent in dr no, was the unseen person playing no 1 in from russia with love and thunderball, but i don't think he provides the voice

Thunderball is a HIGHLY underrated Bond movie. Everyone complains that the underwater sequences are slow and boring, yet I think they are amongst the best parts of the film. Indeed, they are so unique for the 1960s! The plot is brilliant and I love Emilio Largo and Fiona Volpe. So much better than YOLT. And the music too is on point! Definitely in my Top 10 Bond movies, maybe around No. 7 or No. 8.

In FRWL, Bond defeated SPECTRE Agent No. 3. In Thunderball, Bond defeated SPECTRE Agent No. 2. There's only one place to go from here.

This is where Sean Connery was starting to feel bored and unhappy and he is in the next film

IMO this is the best Sean Connery Bond film. I'm actually not a fan of Goldfinger--it doesn't even crack my TOP TEN. Partly because this was the first Bond film created specifically for the big screen. (Those of you who know the Production history of the film know what I mean.) There's a visual motif that is a big part of later Bond films, and is set up during the cold open. The camera cuts between Bond staring at "Madame" Bouvar entering the car, and Bond realizing something. The detail isn't something we the audience would pick up the way Bond does, but it trains us to pay attention throughout the series when we get the edit cut (1) between Bond looking at something and (2) what Bond is looking at. This simple motif actually stayed in the Bond films into the Timothy Dalton era, and I like it because, among other things, it sets up the idea that Bond was trained to have an eidetic memory. In the real world, high level training for detectives and field agents does include developing an eidetic memory.

Another great reaction/review. I sure appreciate this channel and the amount of time you must put into it.

What are the wheels going to do? They keep the belly elevated so the bad guys can unload the bombs. And, by opening all under-fuselage doors (including for the wheels), the plane will take on water and sink faster. My second favorite line from the movie that I use all the time: "Somebody's probably lost a dog." Favorite, of course, is everybody's favorite: "She's just dead." Finally, a shout out to Martine Beswick (Paula) who has to be one of the hottest Bond girls ever. My eyeballs pop out of my head every time I see her in that bathing suit (most of those scenes edited out here, boo).

I enjoyed your 007 reactions. Don't you mean "Goldfinger" and not "Goldeneye"?

Og-gay (Auger), Luchee-ana Paloot-zee (Luciana Paluzzi), Chel-lee (Celli).

Cool Keith Haring shirt!/ This is my fave Bond!

My sentimental favorite as it was my first Bond n first one I saw in the theater by myself at 6 years old. It was a MASSIVE hit, spawning great toys (during the greatest toy era, btw!) And only Goldfinger’s theme can match this one! Tom Jones is what Bond would sound like if he could sing.

You should watch Clint Eastwood in The Dirty Harry movies. They started the cop thrillers we have today.

The name of the actor playing Blofeld is

My fave Bond film 🎥😎🙌👍

Tunderball is a classic bond film

With regard to "goofy" - you must understand that James Bond itself is a parody of spy films from the 50s. It was the Austin Powers of its day... which makes Austin Powers a parody of a parody.

Cash money has serial numbers and can be traced as well as lists distributed to banks so authorities can be notified if/when any turns up. Diamonds, on the other hand, are a form of negotiable currency that can be used anywhere in the world and, for all intents and purposes, are untraceable.

You calling James Bond a menace is the highlight for me

After you're done with James Bond, you have to watch Austin Powers!

I honestly wouldn't put much stock in the IMDB ratings because old movies, with the exception of those that are among the most highly regarded films ever, tend to skew lower on the whole. Plus so many morons rate everything a 1 or a 10 lol. The average rating of every one of these Connery movies being around 7 is ridiculous. Each one so far is at least an 8, if not higher, especially FRWL and Goldfinger.

Just subscribed, your wearing Keith Haring has added another fan. Great job on your reactions.

If you think this is goofy, wait till you get to the next one, the last Connery and some of the Roger Moore and Brosnan films. Bond films usually start from a down to earth place and then continuously get goofier until they get too goofy and return to the basics.

Really nice......enjoyed your reaction. Can you react to Dario Argentino's Terror at Opera House 1987

Thunderball is my favourite Sean Connery James bond film and you called golfinger Goldeneye

You keep saying Golden Eye." Do you mean "Goldfinger?"

I like how you just be yourself in these and don't have that corny 'try hard' approach to vids that's so rampant online.

"why not money instead of diamonds?", that's the trouble of being young these days, not understanding that when you hold the world for ransom you can afford to be a touch eccentric.

Goofiness, right, and you haven't gotten anywhere near the Moore films yet. Buckle up.
