     Never Say Never Again was made by Warner Bros. They purchased a few of the rights of Bond but didn’t have rights to Q, the James Bond Theme, the bullet barrel intro, etc… And they didnt use a unused 007 story. They simply remade ThunderBall.

       The title “Never Say Never Again” was given as a message to Sean Connery. Mr. Connery had stated after his last Bond film that he would never play 007 again. After being persuaded by the director, writers, producer, and production company to once again become James Bond, they aptly named the spin-off movie “Never Say Never Again.”

   Hi Jeff,

   Good observation 🙂 However, Never Say Never Again is looked upon as being an unofficial edition of sorts, which is why it’s never counted in the total list of 22 released movies (23 if Bond 23 is ever coming out).

   Wikipedia has some additional information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Say_Never_Again

   Thanks for your reply!

   Casino Royale inspired me to up the hours in the gym to achieve Bond-like abs.

   Mission accomplished! My girl ordered me one of those Bond-speedo mankinis, and it actually looks good.

   I even have a PPK… maybe I missed my calling to be a secret agent.

   Yes you’re missed a James Bond, Casino Royale (1967) was done and made. so to date there are 24 James Bonds, not 23.

       Not true. Casino was Ian’s first book. It’s first TV debut was a bit hokey yes, but wasn’t originally intended to be a spoof, just the way it turned out.

   The info on this list is ideal! I gotta say Sean Connery is THE Bond! The others…hmm.. to corny, to prissy, to fake. The amazing fact you’ve shown is the budget differences. starting at 1,2000,000 to 230,000,000. Even w/economy that’s a huge spread! Go Sean Connery THE ONLY “007”

    Was it # 6 ‘Secret Service’ in Bond is married & later near the end of the movie she is killed? Since no 1 sticks out in my memory as Bond I’m thinking it must have been George Lazenby.

        The 1953 Casino Royale was not a spoof. Casino Royale was done in Black n White with an American Actor portraying Jimmy Bond. Peter Lorre was the bad guy. It was actually made for TV. I have it on VHS. The Casino Royale that was a spoof had David Niven as James Bond and was made in the sixties.

    Sean is the best Bond by far. Timothy Dalton is the best looking by far in the eye of this beholder. All the bond movies on Encore this month so I’m catching up on all I missed. Thanks for the info on Never Say Never (theme song sung by my fav Lani Hall).BTW I had a James Bond doll in 1964. Whatever happened to it? I dont know but I had the little gun that shot real caps until I was an adult and it disappeared.

    I’ve read every James Bond nove and short story (including a young Bond story called “003 1/2”) except the Young Bond series that starts with Silverfin (a play on Goldfinger?). Sean Connery created the archetypal movie screen Bond. George Lazenby was great–as was the movie, OHMSS (although the villain’s plot was a little hard to grasp–cow disease?). Lazenby should have taken Lois (Miss Moneypenny) Maxwell’s advice and behaved himself. He might have done a few more Bonds. Roger Moore’s movies were entertaining, but his Bond movies were often too lightweight because they often went for a laugh and destroyed our conception of Bond. Often the Moore movies were silly (Bond in arab dress on a camel in TSWLM–I believe with Lawrence of Arabia music in the background. This kind of nonsense disrespects the character movie goers have come to see. This “camel” idea was the fault of a producer or director who finally allowed it, not Moore–unless he (with his obvious sense of humor) promoted it In Octopussy, find the scene where Moore’s line is “That’s for 009!”: one of the rare times in the movie we get to see Roger Moore’s emotional intensity as a serious James Bond (quite apart from the action scenes in which any actor would have to play it straight as does Roger Moore). In Moonraker, Bond defeats an anaconda in the water. Well, we’ve referenced Lawrence of Arabia, so now what? Tarzan! This kind of nonsense destroys the fragile suspension of disbelief required for parts of all Bond movies in the first place. Dalton was great in bringing back a more serious Bond–until that boyish grin in scenes with Maryam d’Abo that make him a love-lorn schoolboy instead of a mature man of the world. Pierce Brosnan was fine and the producers and directors were once again taking Bond seriously (if not some of the stunts: a helicopter flying too slow at an angle to use its rotors as weapons as no copter could in Tomorrow Never Dies–never think too hard about them, the stunts in these movies). Taking the character of Bond seriously is always a good idea–even when allowing him the occasional wry comment. I was one of those who was appalled by the casting of a blond Bond. But Daniel Craig is excellent. He has the physical heft, as did Connery, that allows one to believe he could be a roughneck commando in the Special Boat Service of 1944, as Bond was reported to be (but not in John Pearson’s James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007 [Pyramid Books, 1973] where Pearson has him doing Department of Naval Intelligence work on the continent). Of course, the James Bond saga has a great continuity problem. There’s no way a WWII commando is bungy jumping off a Soviet dam in 1995. It’s got to be a different man. Some writer has to write the story of how many different men have been sent out on the 007 Project (within the Double O branch of the S.I.S) under the cover name of James Bond to continue the legend and confound the enemies of the United Kingdom. Once that story is told, continuity will no longer be a problem, and the Bond saga can soar centuries into the future.

      Mr Fogg, Even thoough the 2nd Casino Royale (1967 I think) was a spoof on the spy genre, it DID address the question of who was James BOnd really. It had James BOnd as a title given to various Assassins over time just as you suggest someone write the story about. So even though it was a spoof it actually does contribute to the background informatin of James BOnd… (I thought it was a ver funny movie mself for what it was. and it is a sneaky one to throw in when challenging someone to name all the actors wo played James Bond… )

    Nice List’,

    In my humble opinion, Roger Moore is the best Bond! I always enjoyed his punch lines before killing one of his adversaries, he had plenty of “whit”. As far as a realistic Bond, no doubt; Daniel Craig, he is physically realistic and passionate during fight scenes, although Sean Connery was pretty robust in his days, but like Connery said, “the gadgets in the films were becoming ridiculous”. Pierce Brosnan is my least favorite. I would like to see all 007’s in the next film as retired MI6 Agents, and then reveal James Bond’s cover name as his birth Name, each with a different name. Although I don’t think Connery would show up as an extra, but the Bond fans would love it!

    There have been three ‘Casino Royale’ films made and along with David NIVEN’s comedy we should include the American Bond, Barry NELSON.

    This was a TV movie and also starred Peter LORRE as Le CHIFFRE. As I recall the Australian Michael PATE is also in the cast.
