Connery had a bit of a shock when filming the two sharks passing Bond in the swimming pool. There was only supposed to be one shark but as he began swimming into the hatch he came face to face with a second shark! You can see is reaction clearly in the film. Thunderball was Connery's highest grossing outing as Bond. For the poster campaign the first release US One-Sheets came in two slight variations; one where the jetpack stays within the green border and one where it extends over it. The example on offer here is the "Full Jetpack" variant.
