10 Awesome Versions Of Movie Sequels We All Wanted

10. James Bond Of The Secret Service, AKA Warhead

By the mid-1970s, the James Bond franchise was a seemingly unstoppable juggernaut. With Roger Moore in the role, it took on a whole new lease of life, reaching previously unseen heights of absurdity.

However, as mad as the Moore movies may be, that's nothing compared to what might have been with unmade 007 movie 'James Bond of the Secret Service', or 'Warhead'.

As older fans may be aware, there was a long-running legal battle over the rights to Bond between Cubby Broccoli's Eon Productions, and Kevin McClory, independent producer partially responsible for 1965's Thunderball.

Long story short, in 1975 McClory was legally able to produce his own Bond movie outside of the established series, and he'd even managed to persuade original 007 actor Sean Connery to star.

Warhead's eye-opening premise saw Bond's arch-nemesis Blofeld of SPECTRE stealing American and Russian bombers in the Bermuda triangle, then attaching their nuclear weapons to robot sharks which would be sent to attack New York City.

Yes - sharks with frickin' nukes on their heads. This isn't Austin Powers. This was a real 007 script.

Although Warhead collapsed, McClory and Connery would finally make their unofficial Bond movie in 1983's Never Say Never Again, an enjoyable but fairly prosaic retread of Thunderball.
