Timelord 007 Do you have any jelly babies? I liked the Lani Hall song but this is good too and it was a good movie but I wish Sean Connery had gotten Blofeld before he retired.Max Von Sydow was the best one.

Wow, if only Never Say Never Again had been part of the official Bond film series even though it was filmed and released the same year as Octopussy. And if only they used Phyllis Hyman's rendition than the Lani Hall one. Even though NSNA isn't part of the official film series as it wasn't produced by Eon Productions, it still marks the seventh and final film appearance of Sean Connery as James Bond. To me, Hyman's rendition has more of a feeling of closure than Hall's. Although having said that, I do think Hall's rendition fits well with the film's end credits. So if NSNA had been part of the official film series and Hyman's rendition was used in the main titles, Hall's rendition could have still been used for the end credits.

@I Know Everything I'm actually watching Star Trek. And since you're not taking anything I say seriously, here's the official website of where I work: https://www.southwoldpier.co.uk/ Now I have nothing more to say to you. Please don't message me again. Goodbye.

@Andrew Chapman I thought you were going to back to go watch your My Little Pony, Chris Chan.

@Richard Bowley That would be awesome.

EON Productions now owns NSNA, so if they wanted to, they could release it with the EON opening, although it would just seem out of place as it was a mere remake of Thunderball.

Andrew Chapman

@I Know Everything Stop being so rude just cuz YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. Screw this, I'm blocking you so you don't bother me again. Especially as I'm clearly too busy thinking about work to really to show any interest in movies right now. Hope you stay safe during this pandemic.

WOW!! Excellent song that should've been chosen as the opening title theme instead of the lacklustre one by Lani Hall (with one of the most monotonous, unimaginative choruses, only rivaled by Madonna's Die Another Day - imo), this is far superior and has an elegant Bond-esque feel to it. Sad that one of the late Phyllis Hyman's finest performances got relegated to a footnote in music and 007- history. BUT great songs & vocal performances outlive most of a lot of fleeting rubbish... and that is what the public mostly agree on retrospectively...luckily. THANKS for posting this, GREAT job done with the new sequence!!

ps123fan

i thought die another day had a bit swaaag lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP4fNHaXE70 but i remember buying die another day with my brother once.. we were only kids underage, but the guy said it was ok lol (: i thought lani hall ver was great too, but phylis was more class to it.

Brilliant alternate edit with the Phyllis Hyman vocal track matched with the Thunderball credit sequence. This beats the actual opening credits by miles. Thanks for making this available.

Brilliant!! The way the film should've been edited! You should have given yourself a credit "re-edited by Jonathan J"... very good. (Title music could've started a fraction earlier...)

Jonathan J

8y↑3

thanks ozzie!! Good point, a little bit earlier would have been good. I should have cut out a bit of the red scene so it came in quicker. Yep, not sure I didn't do that really. I used quite a bit of footage someone else helped edit and I added a few bits here and there to make it work with the song. : )

Re-dub the Whole Film ?
If the 'Official Bond' Crew are stuck for ideas like.....just MAKE this 'Official' ?

@Peter Elias That's exactly what I mean.
A 're-dux' or something...to give them an excuse to re-release the thing again and put this song in it.

Andrew McMeekin....I agree, the best Sean Connery James Bond movie, but this fellow should re edit the movie. The original editing sucked, which is sad for a great movie and storyline too. Please RE EDIT THE WHOLE MOVIE.

Phyllis sang this song in one take when they recorded it. She thought it was the best song she ever did.

Francisco Lucas

I'm speechless! What you did with this video is truly amazing!! Thank you so much for this!

Emran's Movie Madhouse

This is brilliant, it feels legit. I honestly wish they used this song over Lani Hall’s coma inducing version.

It would have also been cool, if you had used the original never say never again logo after "As Ian Flemings James Bond in". But it's a really great sequence and far superior than the real movie. You did a great job!

Sonny Bryan

Love it! They should have done this for the movie. Also nsna is probley my 2nd favorite bond film due to being sean connery's last preformance as 007.

Kevin CW Chang

Wow you put Connery’s head on top of Dalton’s body. Well done !

Exclellent Foley work to cover the original score.

I really loved NSNA when it came out but I would have loved it even more this way...

Never Say Never Again should be adapted for the second time by Eon Productions that is not a remake of Thunderball, but with a different story and plot and become the next James Bond film adaptation after Spectre.

For me the Michel Legrand version is.a great piece of music, but Hyman version has a better lyric (I do not know who wrote the words and music) and a much better vocal performance. Hall sang the Legrand version because she is the wife of a powerful record executive. She is not bad but she does not have the type of voice required for a Legrand song. Also she could not handle Legrand's soaring chorus in NSN like Hyman would have been able to - so it falls flat.

Stephen Orchard

Much better song but then again I'm a big 'Phyllis' fan. I have three of her CD's. A talent that left us much too soon.

Jason Leggett

Great stuff my friend. Top notch. Why MGM didn't do this when they bought the film from Warner's yrs ago is beyond me.

Hoover

Definitely a better intro. The title song is still way too weak. Check out another re-editing of the intro with Mr kiss kiss bang bang as the title song which works perfectly because that was the song that was initially intended to be the title song for Thunderball and it is done by the inimitable John Barry

Steve Kaczmarek

What's particularly brilliant is how you put the NSNA Connery head on the Bond body in the gunbarrel.

Leigh Burne

6y↑8

Nice video, but it's a shame you didn't use the music Michel Legrand actually wrote for this film's gunbarrel, before they found out they weren't allowed to use the sequence. Would've been a nice touch.

@alexcnb thanks for letting me know, I made an edit of this video using the original music for the gunbarrel, https://youtu.be/t8JsOsO6J6k

Leigh Burne hi i've never heard his version for the gunbarrel. I am really Interested in hearing it. Could you send me a link?

Fabio Blanco

Excellent. Thank you. I love the music of Michel Legrand, but it was very annoying over the action intro. Maybe they wanted to differentiate themselves from the EON style sequence.

His music for other projects he did was better. His score for NSNA was terrible.

BIG DAN TEE

The film was so close to greantness. Botched in the editing room.

should have been one of the official 007s

It's ok,but nowhere near as good as the Lani hall version.

Gonzalo Felix Wharton Chavez

Amazing the original take

Rest in peace Connery...Sean Connery.

Giuseppe Briganò

Bellissimo

Rick Eisenberg

Interesting how the opening credits copy those of Thunderball.

ninometalyears

As good as the definitve song by Lani Hall....

Great.

That’s Timothy Dalton’s gunbarrel with Shawn Connery’s face pasted on

I liked the Lani Hall song but this is good too.

Wes Casey Productions

What’s the source of the gun barrel?

Andrew Chapman

It appears to be the Timothy Dalton gunbarrel, but with NSNA Connery head composited in place of Dalton's head. And judging by the colour palette, looks like it's lifted from Licence to Kill.

Andy Heller

Wow!!!! Awesome!!! The jazz music was not good in the film. Otherwise it was good.

Bravo.

Anyone know why this wasn't the version chosen? This is far superior to the one chosen!

alucard624

@Damon Edwards Legrand was being a little bitch about the whole thing and the studio relented to his whim. His score for NSNA was pretty bad.

jett woodward

Jonathan J Well I liked the Look ani Hall song too.

Damon Edwards

Yes Michael LeGrand threatened to sue. Ms. Hyman is cited as stating this is her best and favorite recording. She completed it in one take after only hearing it once over breakfast.

Jonathan J

9y↑11

I think a guy called Jonathan Legard decided to use his own song & chose the rest of the soundtrack even though the other guy had been comissioned with this song and hadn't been told! Would have been a far superior theme throughout the film and intro
