b.		This Warner Brothers film was intended to go head-to-head with the official Eon Bond series film Octopussy at the box office. Never Say Never Again was released just 4 months after Octopussy. Because the films starred Roger Moore and Sean Connery, each equally recognized to the movie going public as James Bond at the time, much of the talk in the press was of a "Bond vs. Bond" or "Battle of the Bonds" showdown at the box office. Most industry analysts predicted that Never Say Never Again would win out at the box office due to the return of Connery, more press, and a significantly larger production budget than Octopussy. According to a press release from Variety in 1985 this was not the case. Variety quoted figures from MGM and Warner Brothers that listed Octopussys US gross at $67.9 million and Never Say Never Agains US gross at $55.4 million. It also listed Octopussys worldwide gross at $187.5 million, and Never Say Never Agains worldwide gross at $160 million. The article also stated that according to the studios, Octopussy had $34.031 million in US rentals, while Never Say Never Again had $28.2 million in US rentals. When the final results were in Never Say Never Again and Sean Connery ended up losing the much discussed "Bond vs. Bond" showdown.

The production team extended this cylinder into the pipeline with computer graphics.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Never Say Never Again (1983)?

b.		Despite its authentic, weathered appearance the old church house used in the film was actually built for the production.
c.		MGM bought complete ownership of the movie in December of 1997 from Taliafilm Inc. for $15 million.
d.		Contrary to popular belief, the film was not pulled from circulation following the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It made its American television debut on The CBS Thursday Night Movies in September 1965 (source: Broadcasting magazine), and was repeated on that network later that season. Only when the rights reverted to Frank Sinatra in 1972 did the film disappear from view, although even then turning up for third and fourth network showings on NBC in spring 1974 (source: TV Guide) and summer 1975 (source: Variety). Sinatras neglect in keeping the film in distribution gave rise to the legend that it was suppressed because of its alleged role in Lee Harvey Oswalds assassination of the 35th president. The legend was further perpetuated when Sinatra, in alliance with MGM/UA, re-released the film to theaters in 1988. When the rumor was debunked in an article in Films in Review, another myth, one claiming that Sinatra and UA had a dispute about the profits, took its place. The myth survives to this day, but it is pure fiction.
