That always reminded me of the gunbarrel too.Funny you should bring this up. I always thought that Taliafilm missed an opportunity to slip in a reference to the gun barrel when Bond & Largo were playing "Domination". The shield they use in the game to block the nuclear missiles irises open like a camera shutter so, when Connery uses it to block a missile that Largo sent his way, it reminded me of the gun barrel.

Agreed. I wonder if Kevin McClory and co. were planning to use it again if they made a sequel to NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN or another Bond film at some point. Could have been the equivalent of the gunbarrel opening for the McClory Bonds.I thought the grid-work of "007" was actually pretty cool.

The 007 logo with the gun attached to the 7 is copyrighted but as for '007' - I would assume that couldn't be copyrighted as it is just a number. Much like names are....... which is why certain Mr MacDonald who tried to sue the fast food chain over the use of his nameWith everything seemingly a copyright issue when it comes to Bond it's good to know that at least "007" isn't.
I thought the so-called gridwork was OK, but the way the last 3 bars raise up/down to clear the view was a little lame.

Yes, it does, the music is quite quiet and then builds up. The 007 grid itself, while I don't think it's that great, it's fine for not being able to use the copyrighted gunbarrel.The grid just sort of snaps on now.

Sorry to geek out here, but I really do feel that NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN has just about the coolest opening of any Bond film - in fact, of any film. The grid of 007s making way for the aerial shot of jungle and islands, Connery running through the undergrowth, punching out the guard (not sure about that strange frisbee thing of his, though). I even love (for some reason) the fact that the opening credits are in red. And before anyone says "Shame about that rotten title song", allow me to state that I like it. Great opening. Great movie. (Wow, I've just noticed a new Smilie.)

No, no, I love those shots. They scream to me "travelogue", "exoticism", and all the rest of it.The only problem I have is somewhat bland overview shots of the water.

I do love the travelogue aspect, but I just think they could have shot those scenes a bit better. No matter, overall it's a good seqeunce!No, no, I love those shots.

Old school Bondage, in other words.

Really? I have the clamshell VHS and it's there in all it's glory. Are you sure what you saw was the old, old WB logo? It's not the WB shield in anyway. It's this one (bad pic, but it's the only one I can find).I've got a copy of NSNA that I taped off the tv. That's got the old WB logo but no such thing like zencat said happens. Sorry that's really bad English but it's late and I'm tired.
As I remember it, a grey version is on screen and then a red version of it zooms onto that. It's a bit weird. Then the screen goes black and the grid appears.

I love that old WB logo. It really is a design classic. In fact, I was thinking of having a T-shirt made with it, not because I have any connection whatsoever to Warners (I don't), but just because it looks (IMO) so darn cool. And then I thought, why the heck should I walk around giving Warners free advertising?Are you sure what you saw was the old, old WB logo? It's not the WB shield in anyway.

Now you mention it I do recall seeing NSNA with this logo. Just when I thought I had erased all knowledge of the film from my memory....I love that old WB logo.
