Time for the one off return of Connery as 007 in the non Broccoli production of Never Say Never Again (1983 the same year as Octopussy)
Apparently another production company had the rights to this story and made it without the company responsible for the rest of the Bondoverse.
Connery is 20 years older than the first movies but still pulls it off.
It's basically a redo on Thunderball due to the rights struggle described here:
