Rivalry is a recurring thread in the almost 60 years worth of James Bond movies we’ve seen released. The greatest of which was the contemptuous relationship between producer/"Thunderball" collaborator Kevin McClory and the folks at EON Productions; which resulted in the legal captivity of SPECTRE for quite some time. That legendary beef almost spawned another spat, and at the head of it all would have been former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan. In fact, I’m almost shocked Brosnan was still allowed to play Bond after courting McClory to start his own rival franchise.
