James Bond - You Only Live Twice
- Year: 1967
- Song: You Only Live Twice (Nancy Sinatra)
- Running Time: 6:00
We start in space... considering this is 1967, very on the ball. A United States Jupiter capsule is orbiting the earth. Some chatter is going back and forth, between the capsule and mission control. One of the astronauts goes on an EVA, while tethered to the capsule.
Suddenly, the Hawaii tracking station detect a large unidentified object closing fast on the capsule. Another spacecraft comes in fast to the capsule, the front opens up, and swallows the Jupiter capsule, but the astronaut on EVA gets trapped outside, and his tether is cut as the capsule is captured by the unidentified spacecraft.
A meeting between the USSR, the UK and the USA is taking place, in a remote location. The USSR denies capturing the capsule, while the USA believe that the Russians are trying to enforce dominance in space. The UK delegates report that they believe it landed in the sea of Japan, and they have a man in Hong Kong investigating now.
James (Sean Connery) is on the scene now, in bed with a Japanese woman of course! It would seem though, she's not on his team, she presses a button, and the bed closes in against the wall, and some men run in with machine guns and spray the wall/bed James is now behind.
James is declared dead! But, as the police say "at least he died on the job.".
James being dead is quite a shock, and keep in mind this was the fifth James Bond. They could still have conceivably killed him off. Not like now, James can never die, he's an immortal character.
Classic James:
James: "Why do Chinese girls taste different from all others girls?"
Japanese Girl: "You think better, eh?"
James: "No, just different"
