* TheMostDangerousVideoGame: ''Domination'', the holographic arcade game that Largo challenges Bond to, has its controls rigged to administer progressively more painful electric shocks to the loser of each round. It's implied that the shocks eventually go up to fatal levels.

An "unofficial"[[note]]Not part of the [[LongRunners long-running]] Eon Productions film series[[/note]] ''Film/JamesBond'' film released in 1983, starring Creator/SeanConnery and directed by Irvin Kershner (director of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''). It's a remake of ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', with two nuclear warheads stolen by SPECTRE and used in a blackmail attempt against the nations of the world. Bond is sent to investigate the only lead, Domino Petachi (Creator/KimBasinger in her StarMakingRole), sister of the pilot who performed the operation. The filmmakers intentionally decided to have Connery play an aging James Bond -- though notably, Connery is actually ''younger'' than Creator/RogerMoore, who was still the current 007 in the Eon films at the time. Music/MichelLegrand composed the soundtrack.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' Domino's brother was [[KillAndReplace murdered by SPECTRE and replaced with a lookalike]]. In this film, he actually defects and helps them (albeit due to a combination of drugs & Blush's sex), though, like the aforementioned counterpart, he still [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness gets what's]] [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves coming to him]].

** SPECTRE themselves. In the original film we never find out if they had plans to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness eliminate the doppelganger]] prior to the man [[BlackmailBackfire deciding to blackmail the origanization]]. In this version, Domino's brother seemed like a loyal subject as long as SPECTRE kept supplying drugs and they make clear from the moment they talk about his part in the plan that he does not has long left in this world.

* AdaptationalNameChange: A lot of them. François Derval becomes Jack Petachi, and thus Domino's surname is Petachi as well. Largo goes from Emillio to Maximillan to reflect the casting of Brandauer. Fiona Volpe becomes Fatima Blush. In a bit of a gag, Largo's yacht is renamed "Flying Saucer," the English translation of "Disco Volante," which was the yacht's name in the original film and novel.
