this is the weirdest movie phenomena ever, an unofficial bond flick starring former bond actor connery while moore was in the official streak at the same time, if i had a time machine to be honest this would be one moment i would want to experience, some might say check out dinosaurs, but with the kind of actors today that's sort of the same thing, isn't it, imagine in 1983 having moore and connery at the theatre playing bond and the papers buzzing about it, one thing i don't understand is why this title never got translated to my own language, let me tell you that is very odd for that time with an extended english title, at this point only one word titles had made it, also growing up this was never as easy to access as the others, well it still isn't, i'm amazed how you see spots on the screen and the sound damped, is it impossible to remaster this or something, it is after all a bond flick, while this is the only bond flick not british it feels lower in quality, british movies often look cheaper, in this case it's the other way around, otherwise you can tell it's expensive, a famous director and music producer, though it feels badly placed at times, of course this soundtrack is also not a part of any collection, it's neat how they manage to get around making an alternative gun barrel opening and closing, since everything belonged to the official they had to start from scratch i suppose, except for connery. to this day i forget about this movie when i think of the franchise, it's funny how people personally edit on this to make it fit the rest, i did the same as a kid, i also edited out the dark ending to "on her majesty's secret service", i wonder if someday this will be a part of the bond collection released.

driftin outside,
as a stranger passin by,
as a stranger you arrived,
from distant shore,
to my chilly home,
youre the only to treat me kind,
wish these lost souls someday will realise,
and join the inside.

The purpose of writing is to communicate. Your writing will function more effectively as communication if you use periods and capital letters.

I was around in 83 and vaguely remember the 2 movies coming out the same year (NSNA came out late 83 with Octopussy in summer) . I think NSNA was the bigger deal in the media (although looking at the box office figures now it made slightly less). I was taken to see NSNA at the cinema but not Octopussy. I remember my dad and older bro went to see that but I wasn't allowed (maybe due to the risqué title? Idk) so my first Bond at the cinema was actually Connery despite being born into the Moore era! I must've seen a couple of Connery and Moore 007 movies on TV by then though. And then the 1st Moore 007 at cinema for me was obviously View to a Kill in 85.. and then saw every Bond at cinema since (aside LTK where I was too young as it was rated 15 in uk)
I guess it'd be like now if Brosnan came back in an 'unofficial' Bond film to be released late next year (with No Time To Day released in summer) .. the Brosnan comeback film would be the more interesting one for everyone

Another weird one which was 1983 as well was Halloween 3 (the night no-one came home). Where was Michael Myers? Hated by nearly all back then. A bit like Never Say Never Again..... a lot more people appreciate it now.
1983 was the year for it.

Halloween 3 was 1982.. but 83 you had Star Wars III, Superman III, Bond (all in same summer)... then winter it was Bond again..(not forgetting the likes of Scarface, Krull, Twilight Zone, 48 Hrs, Blue Thunder throughout the year) 83 was such a boss year
