Bond faints but is rescued by the attendant (whom he promptly beds) Bond subsequently has his revenge by trapping Lippe in a steam bath, although the count survives. Lippe subsequently attempts to murder Bond on a traction machine by extending his spine to incredible lengths. While enjoying a massage from a employee Patricia Fearing, Bond meets Count Lippe, a shifty individual who becomes distrustful of Bond when 007 notices a gangland tattoo on the Count's arm. Prior to this event, Bond is ordered by M to attend the Shrublands health farm in order to improve his physical condition. The bomb retrieval begins after Largo kills the man posing as the NATO observer because he demanded more money prior to the hijacking. Once in control of the plane, the henchman lands it in the middle of the ocean near the Bahamas where Emilio Largo (number two in SPECTRE) and his men retrieve the warheads and conceal the plane from any sort of overhead reconnaissance looking for it. In the film, the Avro Vulcan that is transporting the bombs is hijacked by a SPECTRE henchman who has undergone plastic surgery to appear as a NATO observer that would accompany the pilots on the trip. The plot of Thunderball deals with SPECTRE attempting to hold the world hostage by hijacking two Nuclear Bombs.

No and the events of From Russia with Love are also masterminded by the organisation. Afterwards, Bond escapes using a jetpack to fly to his car parked outside the château where he has a brief battle with his pursuers, during which Bond uses water cannons on the Aston Martin DB5.Ī major difference between the novel and film versions of Thunderball is that, in the film continuity, Bond was first introduced to SPECTRE in Dr.

Bond comes to this realisation and ambushes Bouvar at his château, where he kills him. As it would turn out, a woman who Bond notices opens a car door for herself at the funeral is Bouvar in disguise. The film begins with James Bond attending the funeral of Colonel Jacques Bouvar, a SPECTRE agent who had murdered two British agents.

Like most of the earlier James Bond films, Thunderball is a close adaptation of the Ian Fleming novel with changes mostly for the pre-title credits, the inclusion of gadgets, and an update of technology.
