Synopsis

With the Soviet Union and the United States blaming each other for mysteriously missing space capsules, nuclear warfare between the two superpowers seems imminent. However, Her Majesty's Secret Service suspects the rockets are being held in the Sea of Japan and assigns James Bond to fake his death in order to go undercover. Believed to be dead by the public at large, Bond travels to Japan to track down the missing U.S. and Russian space capsules. Racing against the nuclear clock, 007 discovers that the maniacal Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence), the luscious Helga Brandt (Karin Dor), and their terrorist organisation SPECTRE have planned to incite a full-scale global war. With the help of Japanese agents Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi), Kissy Suzuki (Mie Hama), Tiger Tanaka (Tetsuro Tamba), and a slew of ninjas, Bond must once again save the world from nuclear obliteration. For his first directorial take on a Bond movie, Lewis Gilbert draws on storytelling techniques from his previous films ALFIE and THE 7TH DAWN (quick cuts, long aerial pans), rendering Roald Dahl's clever script with a fluidity not seen in previous 007 films.

5.0 out of 5 stars "You Only Live Twice Mr Bond", 26 Aug 2006

By	P. ISAACS "thepstandsforpaul" (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the first time in a Bond film nearly every element of a Fleming novel was ignored in place of an original screenplay written by Roald Dahl. The script retained only two aspects of Fleming's novel, the Japanese location and the Bond and Blofeld conflict. Sean Connery was now becoming tired of playing James Bond and you can see it a little on the screen but he still plays the part excellently. American and Soviet space craft are mysteriously vanishing and both nations are blaming each other. Aware that the next incident will cause a nuclear war, M assigns Bond to Japan, where he suspects a third party might be involved. Whilst in Japan Bond uncovers evidence that SPECTRE is causing the friction between the East and the West and sets out along with the head of the Japanese Secret Service Tiger Tanaka to save the world from a nuclear war. The pre credits sequence is excellent and keeps the audience guessing untill the title song is over. The films location of Japan was never one of my favourite locations for a Bond film to go but it was new to Bond and it keeps the film original. Again like Goldfinger and Thunderball gadgets were riding high litrally in You Only Live Twice in the shape of Little Nelie, the mini helicopter with an array of machine guns, rocket launchers, heat seeking air missiles, flame guns, smoke ejectors and ariel mines. Little Nelie is a timeless Bond vechicle along with the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, the Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me and BMW 750iL from Tomorrow Never Dies. This was the first Bond film where not only the audience heard SPECTRE chief Blofeld's voice but you actually saw him as well. Blofeld was featured visually in three Bond films by three different actors. Donald Pleaseance played Blofeld in You Only Live Twice and is clearly more believeable in the role than Telly Savalas or Charles Gray would be in later editions to the series. The camera work on this film and in particuler a lot of the James Bond movies is excellent, the birdseye view we get of Bond in the fight scene at the shiping yard is excellently directed and very original. Blofelds HQ in the volcano cost a whopping $400,000 back in 1967. visually it is very impressive. Overall You Only Live Twice is a great Bond film. I had'nt seen this film for a while when i bought it and it was extremly enjoyable.The special features disc is also excellent. You get the same documentries as you did with the 2003 special edition release plus a whole lot more so I would recommend this dvd for any Bond fan or film lover!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Only Live Twice - A Review, 19 Nov 2007

By	Brooky - See all my reviews

Here is my review for You Only Live Twice. Mainly set in Japan Bond is sent to investigate some spacecrafts myseriosely dissapearing it turns out once again that SPECTRE are trying to start WWIII. Sean Connery's performance is pretty wooden in this one but the gadgets are brilliant. Japan is a brilliant setting and Nancy Sinatra's title song is a classic. This is the definitive Bond film for eleven-year-olds to get their teeth into. It has ninja's, huge enemy bases, beautiful women, action, suspense etc. and the most important thing about this film is that we are introduced to the evil head of SPECTRE, Ernst Stavra Blofeld played masterfully by Donald Pleasence. An underrated gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Goodbye, Mister Bond!", 3 Aug 2006

By	C. M. Gelderd "Intrepid Movie Fan" (Bury, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first film in which we get to meet 007 nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofled in the flesh, eerily played by Donald Pleasence, give this Eastern 007 movie a touch of class as Sean Connery returns in fine form to avert World War III!

Set in and around Japan, the film uses the stunning location to full use from dominating Ninja training schools, volcanic underground lairs and the nightlife of Tokyo to guide Bond from one thrilling chase to the next femme fatale betrayal as he races to discover the location of Blofled and his organisation SPECTRE before the US and USSR space programme is sabotaged once again and all hell breaks loose.

Ninja killers, sweet and simple Oriental ladies and exciting action give 007 a touch of Eastern promise in a stunning visual spy story.
