Domino Petachi is the fictional mistress of Maximillian Largo. The character was loosely based on the Thunderball character Domino and appeared in the unofficial 1983 James Bond film Never Say Never Again, portrayed by Kim Basinger.
Film biography
In the unofficial film Never Say Never Again Domino Petachi is structured after Domino Derval, this time however, she is played by Kim Basinger. The character is still called Domino (however now it is no longer just a nickname) yet her last name has become Petachi, the reason for this change is unknown. Although somewhat less assertive than the Thunderball version- being clearly terrified when she is nearly sold off to a group of Arabs-, she nevertheless kills Largo and avenges her brother. The film ends with Bond retiring from the service to be with her.
Behind the scenes
Never Say Never Again marked the high-point of a long legal battle between United Artists and Kevin McClory. For more information see: the controversy over Thunderball.
