it did try something new, and it has been prominent in subsequent films. A black Felix, no Bond theme – (Arnold has used it, but markedly toned down), gun barrel absent at beginning, different version of Q, laser watch, etc. It showed that you can make a Bond film work minus the iconography. For example, QoS has the gun barrel at the end, but it could easily get by without it.

Hey! That's why I felt Quantum of Solace could have been an unofficial film

Back to topic, I feel Never Say Never Again as a funny film, but it's not a proper Bond film to me. There's not "Bondian feeling" in it. But... I enjoy it sometimes

Quantum of Solace is and actual Ian Fleming title. Never Say Never Again is just 133 minutes of your life that you'll never get back.
