Thunderball/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond James Bond, who only has to make love to a woman, and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, and turns to the side of right and virtue...
[she steps on Bond's foot]
... but not this one!

  • The final battle on the Disco Volante. How awesome is it? This awesome.
    • The final explosion was so huge that it destroyed all the windows in a town 30 miles away.
  • Domino shooting Largo.
    • Domino's scene is even better in the original novel, where the moment takes place underwater, with light framing her (and her hair) almost angelically as she saves Bond. There's no dialogue, of course, but it more than makes up for it by actually portraying the massive trauma and exhaustion she had to overcome in the process.
