James Bond has been known to get up to some zany shenanigans in his 20-plus films.

To name a few, we’ve seen Bond dress up as a clown, dodge laser blasts on a space station, drive an invisible car across a glacier, and even survive a massive tsunami by windsurfing.

But there was one bizarre stunt that never made it to the big screen, and the BBC is wondering if it is perhaps the greatest Bond film never made.

It is the Bond that Irish screenwriter Kevin McClory wrote with a robot shark carrying an atom bomb through a Manhattan sewer that eventually gets deactivated by 007.

McClory was best known for producing the James Bond film Thunderball and also for his legal battles with the character’s creator, Ian Fleming.

The BBC made a reel that explains everything:

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the material needed to inspire the disaster horror comedy science-fiction film Sharknado, which spawned in 2013.

There’s also been a Roboshark movie before you ask.
