Product Description
When an American space capsule is swallowed up by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship World War 3 nearly breaks out. The British Government however suspect that other powers are at work as the space craft went down near Japan. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the force behind the theft as James Bond discovers but its motives are far from clear and he must first find out where the captured space capsule is held before America and Russia initiate another world war.System Requirements:Run Time: 117 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 027616074096 Manufacturer No: M107411

The film boasts the best of the Bond title songs (this one sung on a dreamy track by Nancy Sinatra), but the movie itself is one of the weaker ones of the Sean Connery phase of the 007 franchise. The story concerns an effort by the evil organization SPECTRE to start a world war, but the not-so-super villain behind the plot is the awfully civilized Donald Pleasence. The thin script is by Roald Dahl (shouldn't we have expected a better Bond nemesis from the creator of mad genius Willy Wonka?), and direction is by British veteran Lewis Gilbert (Alfie). But the movie can't hold a candle to Dr. No, From Russia with Love, or Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh
007 You Only Live TwiceReview date: 2010-06-20 Rating: 2 out of 10I am not happy at all with seller of this movie. Its paid for,in full including shipping. And three week later it still not here,no word from seller as to its whereabouts, and somehow it can't be tracked. I will not buy from this seller again,nor will I recomend them either.
ReviewsOne of the weaker of the series but still 60's Bond with ConneryReview date: 2010-05-19 Rating: 4 out of 10I am big James Bond fan. I love From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever. Dr. No and Thunderball, while not as strong to me, still bring that 007 zest. This one however is a dud. The plot drags, the characters look bored and are uninteresting. Donald Pleasance as world destructor du jour Blofeld overplays his part. Bond going Japanese is just damn offensive. I actually enjoy Kissy Suzuki though. She relates well to Bond. Karen Dorr as Helga Brandt is just a rehash of Fiona Volpe's character in Thunderball, albeit not as good either. This movie has some cool set pieces like the Volcano layer, magnificently designed by Ken Adam. At the end of the day, it still is a James Bond movie from the 60's starring Sean Connery, which is still a joy to watch. So I give it 2 stars, maybe even 2 1/2, but the movie just fails on so many levels that I have to call it out as one of the weaker of the series. See this if you've never seen a James Bond movie and want a laugh for how much the Austin Powers series borrowed from this movie.You Only Live Twice, James BondReview date: 2009-12-29 Rating: 10 out of 10This is a hard to find DVD as a single movie. I could only find it at Amazon. It may exist somewhere else but Amazon made it easy.Once Lived, Twice Shy -- Excellent Connery ClassicReview date: 2009-12-28 Rating: 8 out of 10Sean Connery's You Only Live Twice, the first Ian Fleming adaptation that really used just the title and not much more -- completely different from the novel.
Basically, space capsules from the USA and USSR are being snatched by an evil guy played by Donald Pleasance (see the Austin Powers parody on this guy, Dr. Evil) as he pets his pet Persian and plots the demise of the USA and USSR. His clients want them to destroy each other then pick up the pieces.
But they did not have a plan for Bond. James Bond.
Bond goes through Asian women (which actresses, several look like Caucasian women with eye make-up), baby helicopters, Moneypenny's flirting and even fakes his own death.
Despite the Bond girls, the artful music, and the shooting and chase scenes (with helicopters no less), a bit above average Bond flick, but no means as well made as Dr. No or Goldfinger..
Recommended for a rental.
