The fourth movie and one that really fascinated me as a kid. It had the Vulcan with the atomic bombs, an underwater battle scene and a yacht that de-attaches a part of itself. Think they also introduced the 007 watch for the first time. Although if only with a geiger-counter. Didn't get the plot, like most of the movies as a kid. SPECTRA steals two atomic bombs from NATO by killing a NATO officer and using a double. That just happens being prepared in the same clinic as Bond is staying in after the pre-credit scene. Not able to stop the theft he gets the lead to investigate the Bahamas. Turns out the officers sister is together with Largo, Nr 2 of SPECTRA. How convenient. I assume that's how they got all information on the officer to be able to impersonate him perfectly as well as make him disappear.
Highlight is the battle at the end underwater as Largo and his men is attacked by US marines as they try to put the bomb in Miami to blow it up. The music, the action and then it follows up with the ship chase scene. Action from start to finish. We have gadgets like the watch, the breathing apparatus and diving equipment. The jetpac from the start of the film is also something completely different that kept peoples imagination. I think I like this movie the best of the old Connery movies so far. It's also the same plot for the non EON movie Never Say Never Again back in 1983. Also with Connery. And the title song with Tom Jones, fantastic. Oh and yes, they just translated the title this time.
