Advantages: Great atmospheric and artistic Bond film
Disadvantages: Nothing really

...in 1967 with this offering, You Only Live Twice, once again starring the charismatic Sean Connery, but with Lewis Gilbert in the director's chair for this one. The Plot With the Cold War ever intense, criminal organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. tries another tack. American and Russian spacecraft have disappeared in outer space, and they are blaming each other. Anxious to avoid all out war, Bond is dispatched to Japan to seek out the perpetrators. This ...
...enter into a relationship. You Only Live Twice was filmed almost entirely on location in Japan, and the filming is done marvellously, capturing the beauty of the countryside and the mountains and castles. The Japanese music employed in the film also sets the scene and the mood in all sequences. The acting and directing is also done very well, and I found myself enjoying this film from an angle different to that of a Bond film, more from a critical ... Read review

Review of You Only Live Twice (Ultimate Edition) by Timbo3107

Advantages: Connery at this best
Disadvantages: You'll think of Austin Powers when you see this

...and the new Bond film, You Only Live Twice had its world premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square on 12th June 1967. The title is taken from Ian Fleming's twelfth novel and the plot point of Bond being 'killed' so he can continue to work undercover, with his enemies assuming he is dead and out of the picture. The title is uttered by Blofeld when he realises Bond was not assassinated in Hong Kong after all. In the novel Bond goes after Blofeld to get ...
...being a Bond girl and you do feel that her character and Bond have a spark. Tiger Tanaka is played by Tetsuro Tamba, a well known Japanese film actor. This was one of the only times that he appeared in an English speaking film as the Japanese counterpart of M. Although is voice was dubbed over, he does carry a screen presence when on screen with Connery, and in the attack on the Volcano can show he can handle himself in a fight. Kissy Suzuki is ...

...title of the film of You only live twice.It is a clever idea which works nicely.The title song sung by Nancy sinatra is great to listen to and its appeal is enhanced by a lush soundtrack score by John barry.Interestlingly a sample of the title track was mixed into Robbie williams 1998 song Millenium for catchy results.After bond has literally come back from the dead he is assigned to find out was been happening to missing american and russian spaceships.This ...
