License To Kill
The suspect winds up fleeing and critically harming Leiter and murdering his wife after Bond supports his old buddy Felix Leiter in arresting a drug dealer called Franz Sanchez. As Bond is told to return to his daily duties by M, the leader of MI6, he declines, prompting M to withhold his license to destroy. That implies that Bond must embark as a fugitive agent on his quest for revenge.

This unofficial James Bond movie is a loose remake of Thunderball. It only exists because the Thunderball novel’s rights ended up with Kevin McClory and could make a rival 007 movie from the plot and characters of Thunderball. And, yes, Sean Connery is back, but not better than ever. This is not an all-time high for anyone involved, and audiences ended up selecting the genuine article (Octopussy) over this glorified imitation offering.
