Has anyone watched "Never Say Never Again" recently? There is a "Red October" connection in that Sean Connery does command a sub at one point in the film. Further, there are underground occult temples/tunnels in the Caribbean, stolen nukes, and a lot of talk of about children's charities and doing things for the children. Above all, there was a specific shot of a Shiva statue in a SPECTRE scene. It is the exact same figure that stands over at CERN.

Too many connections to be an accident. We Bond films soft disclosures or were they rubbing our faces in it?
