Many of the elements of the Eon-produced Bond films were not present in ''Never Say Never Again'' for legal reasons. These included the [[gun barrel sequence]], where a screen full of 007 symbols appeared instead, and similarly there was no "[[James Bond Theme]]" to use, although no effort was made to supply another tune.{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=240}} A pre-credits sequence was filmed but not used;{{sfn|Smith|2002|p=193}} instead, the film opens with the credits running over the top of the sequence of Bond on a training mission.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=156}}
