Thunderball (the movie) has an interesting tale connected with it too. In one scene 007 is in a swimming pool with a shark and there was supposed to be a glass partition between the actor (Sean Connery) and the shark which of course wouldn't show but at one point Mr. Connery felt something bump into him and there was Mr. Shark. Apparently the glass panel wasn't long enough to cover the whole distance and it was enough of a gap at one end for Mr. Connery to be bumped by Mr. Shark. The look of shock on his face at that point in the movie isn't faked. It's Mr. Connery's own true reaction to the incident. I think they also showed 007 needing some physical conditioning in "Never say Never Again." And once again the bad guys tried to do 007 in.
