Slick (and largely submarine) Bond action as 007 tries to save the world from SPECTRE and a stolen nuclear weapon. Connery's Bond was never better than this.
DVD Extras:
Thunderball Phenomenon documentary, making-of documentary and Inside Thunderball mini-doc, two audio commentaries tracks, stills gallery, TV, radio and cinema trailers.Another corking Bond DVD. The Patrick Macnee-narrated documentaries cover all the basic info, the audio commentaries are again informed and almost anally detailed, and the overall packaging and design just superb. If there's a criticism, it's that they skate over the issue of copyright for the Thunderball story. It's the long, drawn out legal wranglings over that which resulted in Ian Fleming's collaborator Kevin McClory writing 1983's thinly veiled `unofficial' remake, Never Say Never Again.
