Firstly Thanks goes to PSPegasus whose original and impressive intro version video I have used as the basis for this video.

This original 'Never say Never Again' version was co-written by Stephen Forsyth and Jim Ryan.

The legendary Phyllis Hyman sung the song After agreeing to sing the song, she arrived at the studio and, without any rehearsal and only having heard the song sung once at a breakfast audition, sang the song in ONE perfect take.

Warner Bros informed that the song was to be used as the title song in the picture. However, shortly before its release, Warner Bros informed that the song could not be used because Michel Legrand, who wrote the main film score threatened to sue them, claiming that contractually he had the right to the title song. So the Phyllis Hyman song was never released.

Thanks goes to BlankVideo88 whose video partly inspired this and ESPECIALLY PSPegasus whose main edited footage I used with a few edits of the music and video along the way by me. PSPegasus used 'Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' by Dionne Warrick in his version.

As he wrote: This is my interpretation of what the opening of Never Say Never Again might have been like if it had of been made by EON Films as an Official 007 title. It features music from From Russia With Love and Thunderball, the opening title sequence of Thunderball, with new credits to reflect the cast and crew of NSNA, the Dionne Warwick version of "Mr. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", and a new gunbarrel sequence featuring an aged (and hatless) Sean Connery.
