Yes, a good one as well although you would be spelling quite a bit. Hopefully no one would confuse it with cattywampus (one of several spellings) which has a much different meaning. Basically "all out of whack"!
The best one I ever saw was "Never Again II"
Thunderball was released in 1965; it was preceded by Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963) & Goldfinger (1964). Interesting to me is that my skipper, Fly Boy, was cast as one of the underwater villains in Thunderball, but was assigned an emergency military mission & had to decline the role at the last minute. TRIVIA: The shark shot in an underwater scene was an unscripted menace to the armed divers, but the director liked the effect so much that the exposed film was kept in the final cut.I was always a fan of the original James Bond movie Thunderball and considered naming my boat "Disco Volante" after the awesome hydrofoil yacht in that movie.
I was about 14 or 15 when some shots were filmed in Biscayne Bay when we lived in Miami Beach. My dad was in the movie location services and property business at the time and we got to see some of the shooting.
Afterwards the Disco Volante was dick at the Miami Beach Marina where the current Sunset Harbor is located today! That was a couple of blocks from our house.
Years ago I fished on a 36 foot wooden fish boat out of Cowichan Bay, (Just a bit south of Ladysmith) named Nostril Agony, but we kept it scrubbed clean so she didn't live up to her name. The term is words from a song, I don't know which song or artist.Seen today in Ladysmith:
Our first boat was named “Das Boot” .
