Connery did get $1.25 million. The percentage deal he got was 10% of the GROSS receipts in the USA and 12.5% of the gross receipts in the UK. The difference between that and a percentage of the profits is that Connery gets a percentage of the money that the film takes rather than whats left over (profits). So if the film took $50 million dollars in the USA (which was the least that was expected), he would get $5 million!!!

Connery gave his $1.25 million upfront fee to the Scottish International Education Trust that he founded in 1967.
Sean Connery acting in the film appears like he is just there for the paycheck. In one scene he looks like he doesn't care at all
You ought to tag your videos with "Cidre".
