USA TV - Spike TV marathon kicks off with `Never Say Never Again`, Saturday evening

03-Jul-2004 • Media Alert

Spike TV in the USA kick off another James Bond marathon season today with a screening of the Sean Connery "unofficial" adventure, "Never Say Never Again".

Film: "Never Say Never Again"
Channel: Spike TV
Date: Saturday 3rd July 2004
Time: 16:00 ET/PT

Connery, ever-aware that he`s at the centre of a big, expensive joke, still makes you believe that he`s heroic to the core. His well-groomed presence holds the screen with ease and he`s flanked here by three charismatic ne`er-do-wells, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow and Barbara Carrera. The plot, which Producer Kevin McClory rehashed from his rights to Thunderball, lurches badly at times, but the wild action set pieces, decked out in gals (Kim Basinger among them), gadgets and glib lines, are there to be cherished. Listen out for Q`s smart remark about gratuitous sex and violence.

Director: Irvin Kershner
Starring: Sean Connery, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Kim Basinger, Barbara Carrera.
Running Time: 128mins

Thanks to `Moore` for the alert.
