Thunderball / Шаровая молния 1965.

[candelabra]

Подводный мир сделала этот фильм уникальным для Бондианы. Действительно, очень красиво!
Хотя всё остальное связанное с атомными бомбами утомляет.
Злодей вот, Ларго достаточно суровый.
И девушка Бонда, Домино ОЧЕНЬ милая.

И главное - Шон в купальном костюме ...

Кстати, насчет гаджетов - реактивный ранец сначала кажется нелепым, но на самом деле, если подумать, и это возможно.
К тому же, это можно сказать - предшественник Iron menа.

Thunderbeatle was the nickname for James Bond creator Ian Fleming given to him by his wife Ann Fleming.
The type of car that Largo is seen driving in Paris at the start of the movie was a 1965 Thunderbird which was a make of car that was adored by Ian Fleming.

This film was Sean Connery's own favorite performance as 007.

Bond's jetpack was actually flown by engineer Bill Suiter. He was one of only two people in the world qualified to fly it.

Final James Bond film directed by Terence Young.

Sean Connery performed the gun-barrel sequence for the first time because of the new Panavision process used in the movie.

Bond enters Miss Moneypenny's and hangs up his hat then enters the meeting with M.
When he exits M's meeting, after his chitchat with Moneypenny he goes to the hat rack to find his hat is gone Bond states
"I thought I wore a hat when I came in.." This was the final appearance of James Bond wearing a hat as a fashion statement.

In the underwater scenes where Bond encounters sharks, 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 real sharks than he wanted - director Terence Young said in an interview that scenes used in the film
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.

The many underwater scenes stem from writer Kevin McClory's interest in diving.

Maurice Binder returned to the series to design the main title sequence for this movie after being absent from the previous two Bond movies,
From Russia with Love and Goldfinger. He had designed the opening titles for Dr. No and would continue on every Bond movie after this one until his last on Licence to Kill.

The dictionary definition of the word "thunderball" is that it was a military term used by US soldiers to describe the mushroom cloud seen during the testing of atomic bombs.
Hence its use as a title because this would be result of SPECTRE detonating the stolen atomic bombs.
In a case of life imitating art, the codename for the 1976 Israeli operation to rescue hostages held in Uganda was called "Thunderball" and named after this movie.

In Italian, Disco Volante translates as "Flying Saucer."

Claudine Auger's heavily accented English was deemed too "French-thick" by the filmmakers after shooting initial scenes of her.
Hence, Nikki Van der Zyl, who dubbed Ursula Andress' voice in Dr. No, was brought back to dub Auger's lines.
For similar reasons, Adolfo Celi (Largo) had his lines dubbed over by Robert Rietty to hide his thick and distinctive Sicilian accent.

The only Bond film in which Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman are not credited for their work done as producers.
They are instead only credited as executive producers. This is the only EON Productions James Bond film to have Kevin McClory credited as a producer.

This is the first James Bond film to be shot in a widescreen process, Panavision.

The budget for this Bond film was more than the combined budgets of the first three Bond films.

The only Bond film where we get a glimpse of all 00 agents in one shot.
They are summoned to M's briefing and 007 is the last to join in.
He sits down in the only available chair - the seventh from the left.
Only one of the other 00's faces are revealed, however, as they are filmed from behind or their faces are hidden, and Bond is seen in close-up.

The reason why many of the villains are played by Italian actors was because the original sсript did not involve SPECTRE but Italian gangsters in the Sicilian Mafia, with Largo as a Crime Boss.

When Bond and Domino are rescued by winch at the end of the movie, it was actually by a then-real sea rescue method known as sky-hooking.
It is an out of date practice today, as more advanced helicopter rescue methods are used, such as those seen in the movie The Guardian.
