| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about You Only Live Twice |
|---|
We've seen James Bond come and go and come and go, but probably Sean Connery, the original 007, is the most special. In “You Only Live Twice,” Bond's dreaded nemesis
SPECTRE is building a secret base on a small Japanese island--and naturally the salvation of Western Civilization as we know it is in jeopardy. Bond to the rescue--fast cars, fast women, fast everything, and before you know it, Bond, M, Q, Miss Moneypenny (the whole gang) are back on top and the Free World is permitted to breathe safely once more. Good location shots in Japan, coupled with the clever, dry wit of 007, and “You Only Live
Twice” says “sayonara”--but James Bond will be back!

James Bond must uncover a devious plot concocted by S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in stealing U.S. and Soviet Space Vehicles from outer space and preventing all out war! Set in Japan, this outing truly has it's own uniqueness. Don't miss the wonderful Little Nelly sequence. Followed by On Her Majesty's Secret Service (with George Lazenby replacing Sean Connery as Bond).
--Alan, Resident Scholar
