History YMMV / NeverSayNeverAgain

* FetishRetardant: While "fetish" might not be the exact term, the scene where Bond poses as Domino's masseur to feel her up is played in a playful tone typical of Bond films, but her reaction to finding out he was a fake — tearful and looking as though she feels very violated — makes the scene a lot more uncomfortable, especially with the HarsherInHindsight example below. It gives her quick forgiveness of him later all the more MoodWhiplash.
* HarsherInHindsight:

** Try watching the massage scene after finding out that Connery attempted to force himself on Basinger in his dressing room before production took an extended break.

** Bond engages in a ''video game duel'' against Emilio Largo. The film came out in 1983, the year of the infamous [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 Video Game Crash of 1983]] that nearly sank the entire industry. That's to say nothing of the various Atari consoles seen in the arcade; Atari was the leading developer of that market before the crash and would never regain its former dominance afterward.

* DirectorDisplacement: Though this is often cited as a Kevin McClory film, the actual producer was Jack Schwartzman with McClory recieving a honoury Executive Producer credit.

** One would seem to think that Fatima Blush is a prototype for Xenia Onatopp from ''Film/GoldenEye'' as an AxeCrazy FemmeFatale who's obsessed with having her way with Bond.

* NarmCharm: Bond blowing up Fiona Volpe with the miniature pen missile is ridiculous, and she even has time to see it sparking in her gut; however, literally being blown up in a fireball is still a horrible way to die.

** Bernie Casey, former NFL player, would later be known for appearing in the ''Film/RevengeOfTheNerds'' movies.

* EarWorm: "Never, never say never again, never, never say never again..."

** Creator/RowanAtkinson starred as a bumbling MI6 operative. He would go on to parody James Bond with ''Film/JohnnyEnglish''.

** The fishing woman in Bahamas is played by Valerie Leon, who also played an hotel receptionist in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. In the latter, she is flirty with Bond, but oddly for him, Bond closes his room's door in her face. Here, Bond has no such problem.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The most common complaint to a film that's literally a retread of ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' made by a different studio, thus lacking most of the film series' trademarks.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Q is fed up with his job and is about to leave for the CIA.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Bond is able to play on Fatima's ego that "she was the best he'd ever slept with", tricking her into letting him write out a confession... using the [[ChekhovsGun gun-pen Q gave him]] earlier.
--->'''Bond:''' I just remembered, it's against Company policy to give endorsements.\\
'''Fatima:''' [[LargeHam WRITE!!!]]
** The bit about "free radicals":
*** M sends Bond to the Shrublands spa to get back in fighting trim, using the phrase "eliminate free radicals" (meaning poor eating habits).
---->'''Moneypenny:''' Have you got a mission, James?\\
'''Bond:''' Yes. I am to eliminate all free radicals.\\
'''Moneypenny:''' Oh! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Do be careful!]]
*** And later, as M is chewing out Bond after Lippe demolishes Shrublands:
---->'''Bond:''' Not at all, sir. In fact, I lost four pounds and God knows how many free radicals.\\
'''M:''' ''It's that kind of attitude that tempts me to suspend you, 007!''
** Small-Fawcett doing his best to operate as covertly as possible... by shouting Bond's name across half of the Caribbean.
** The cheerful way [[spoiler:the automated missile system deploys two nuclear warheads]] by saying "Have a nice day!"
** The oversized video game Largo designed. Yes, it hasn't aged very well. But the funny bit is seeing how the countries are valued. Pretty sure Spain would enjoy being valued at $9000...

* EvilIsSexy: Fatima Blush is even more nastier than Fiona Volpe, her original counterpart. Barbara Carrera is also a very sexy woman.

* CompleteMonster: Largo and Blush, while entertaining, are nasty pieces of work who have no redeeming traits.

** Q offers Bond a pen that shoots miniature missiles. He would eventually update this to a pen grenade in ''Film/GoldenEye''.

* Jerkass: M, who is far more cynical and doubtful of Bond's abilities here than perhaps any incarnation of M from the official series.

* RecycledScript It's an updated remake of ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''. Check Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderball_%28film%29#Legal_disputes more details]].

* AngstWhatAngst: Domino gets over her private shock and humiliation at having been felt up by Bond in the guise of a masseuse rather quickly. ''With A Smile''.

%%* EvilIsSexy

* MemeticBadass: Invoked with the gag that Bond might be so Badass his ''piss'' can burn a mans face, and potentially even ''kill''.
