You Only Live Twice was released in 1967 and it was the fifth Bond film to hit cinema screens. Once again Sean Connery played Bond, although he took some persuading this time. Rather bizarrely the screenplay was penned by Roald Dahl. The film saw Bond tangling with his ultimate villainous opponent, Blofeld, played by Donald Pleasance and the action took place with a Japanese backdrop.
The film actually started in space with a US space craft being eaten by a UFO which turns out to be a SPECTRE rocket. MI6 trace the space craft to Japan and send Bond to investigate. A Soviet space craft is also eaten and a world war looms as Bond races to uncover the evil mastermind Blofeld and foil his scheme. There are some great moments in this outing and some deeply cheesy scenes as well.
This is the first Bond film that reveals Blofeld fully; his face was never revealed in previous films. Read more
