The BBC reports that original James Bond star Sean Connery co-wrote a screenplay for a proposed 007 adventure that ultimately was never filmed.
Created with "Thunderball" co-writer Kevin McClory and "Ipcress File" author Len Deighton the project was called "Warhead."
BBC writer Nicholas Barber says: "Even though the three screenwriters followed the rough outline of Thunderball, they sometimes went their own way, too, occasionally veering into the realms of Austin Powers-style parody. - Another distinction between Thunderball and Warhead is the latter’s crazily entertaining New York climax, which has Bond wrestling mechanical sharks in the sewers, then paragliding up to the head of the Statue of Liberty for a brutal fight with Spectre’s goons. (“Blood trickles down the cheek of the Statue of Liberty like a tear,” says the script.)"
