Shark Pool Fight Line


At the end of the fight in the shark pool where he escapes the shark coming after him I just saw Bond saying, "Better luck next time..."

As a kid I remember him saying, "Now you can tell about the one that got away." Does anyone remember that line?

Both lines were dubbed by Connery, the "Now you can tell about the one that got away" being the one used, as far as I know, in most of the original film prints. That's the one I remember when I saw the film in 1965.

I think the "Sorry old chap, better luck next time" version started to show up in later years, when the film was released on DVD.

Thanks I was sure I remembered it that way from seeing it as a kid. I knew they had changed some stuff for the DVDs... I wish they would just leave things alone.

Yeah that's WAY better than "better luck next time". You're right, they need to just leave stuff alone.
