It was arranged by the British International Fan Club headed up by Graham Rye, which has sadly now folded. The story behind Graham's attempts to piece together a useable print for the film was a story in itself. It was a great occasion.

I'd like to hear more about the event from your point of view if you'd like to share. Did you see any of the stars or crew or anything?

Regarding that print of Thunderball it utilized the same sound mix as the current videos do. It played the Bond theme over the end credits as opposed to Barry's original end credit music. Also Bond's line "Now you can tell about the one that got away" was replaced with, "Sorry old chap. Better luck next time".

What was Barry's original end credits music? I noticed that there's an odd swipe in the credits to get rid of "James Bond will return on OHMSS", but I thought that was all that was changed.
And I've seen the different quotes after Bond got out of the pool on the DVD. Which one was the original?

It's on the 30th anniversary album and on the original widescreen laserdisc I have of the film. Every 35mm print I've seen of the film and the latest Laser Discs and DVD's use "The James Bond Theme". Issue #4 of GoldenEye details the changes.Originally posted by PaulZ108

The swipe was there, too. Interestingly, the print of Goldfinger that they showed said Bond would return in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Obviously a British print. That was a treat.Originally posted by PaulZ108
