In 1983, it was the Battle of the Bonds. Moore returned for his sixth James Bond film and he was up against Connery's unofficial rival film 'Never Say Never Again'. Naturally, EON had to pull out all the stops and make this a Bond film for the ages to assure their place as the one, true Bond franchise. Did they succeed? Financially, yes, but they did create an all time high 007 adventure or a clownish, goofy cartoon?
