THUNDERBALL | Q introduces Bond to his new gadgets

This was the first James Bond movie I saw in a theater, in a double-feature with 'You Only Live Twice.' Within weeks I had bought a mask, snorkel, and fins and taken up "skin diving." Scuba diving would come later, but this was where it started for me. (Watching 'Sea Hunt' on TV played a part, too, of course, but 'Thunderball' cemented it.)

[@TheGroundedAviator]

I think it's great that a fun film helped give you a passion that you seem too still enjoy to this day! A bit off but filming the Golf scene in Goldfinger did the same for Sean for that sport.

Thunderball and Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice are the three best Bond movies.

[@hiddensword9387]

Thunderball and Goldfinger yes. You Only Live Twice is closer to a Carry on Movie than a Bond one. Plus Bond is just devoid of dynamic in it. he's just a catalyst for each action scene. Thunderball, Goldfinger and On her Majesty's Secret Service are the three best imo.

This scene, and others involving Bond and Q, that began in Goldfinger(1964) are the foundation for what was to be called "sit-coms" later on on TV. Smart, short one-liners spoken with sarcasm and black humour. Thanks to director Terence Young and Sean Connery, who started off this kind of witty one-liners already in "Dr.No"(1962).

@@wbcjr17106 So? It won the Oscar for special effects. Special effects on their own don't guarantee that a film will be better than the others. In any case, this wasn't the first Bond film to win an Oscar and the special effects in Thunderball are actually pretty ropey even by 60's standards.
