What happens to Felix at the end of Thunderball? - Woman in Black Leather Jacket Sitting on Brown Wooden Floor

At the end of Thunderball, when escaping the boat, Bond gives Felix a life ring and then pushes him off the boat. Bond and Domino then jump off the boat, before it hits some rocks and explodes.

A helicopter then drops a self-inflating lifeboat into the water, which Bond and Domino climb into, before being pulled away by a plane.

Why did they just leave Felix? Is it just because James Bond films always end up with him and the Bond girl together, and it would be weird if Felix was there with them?



Best Answer

Strangely this was on TV yesterday so I can answer.

It wasn't Felix Leiter at the end, it was Ladislav Kutze who was Largo's physicist. As he was a henchman, albeit one who redeemed himself by freeing Domino, we don't really care, so it's never resolved.
