USA TV - `Never Say Never Again` and `Thunderball` on Spike TV, this weekend

31-Jul-2004 • Media Alert

Film: "Never Say Never Again"
Channel: Spike TV
Date: Saturday 31st July 2004
Time: 16:00 EST/PST

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.
