This movie was basically made because of remake rights owned by executive producer Kevin McClory relating to Agente 007 - Thunderball: operazione tuono (1965). According to the October 20-26, 1997 edition of the trade paper Variety, characters and situations which McClory claimed he owned included: S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and its octopus signia, characters Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Domino Smith, Fatima Blush, and Fiona Volpe, James Bond up against the hijack of an atomic bomb, James Bond fighting the Sicilian Mafia, the Shrublands Health Clinic, Bahamas location, a yacht with a hidden hydrofoil, and the rocket-firing motorcycle. EON Productions owned the James Bond theme and logo plus a considerable number of characters and situations. Elements that were shared by both parties included James Bond, casino gambling, M, Q, Miss Moneypenny, Felix Leiter, and the Aston Martin DB5. Interestingly of the latter, this vehicle did not appear in this movie, whereas it did in Agente 007 - Thunderball: operazione tuono (1965). Further, despite the claims, the Bahamas was still a location in Casino Royale (2006).
