This is a very interesting episode of 007. There are many things to watch, including the first appearance of the leader of the "Devil Party". And Bond moved to Japan, which also brought the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, which was very interesting.

At the beginning of the film, a weird and weird spacecraft "swallowing" event was staged. Although the special effects are a bit pediatric from today's perspective, the imagination is worth admiring, and even the filming made a bit of a creepy feeling. In the field of equipment, Dr. Q provided Bond with a miniature single-person helicopter, which is not only small and flexible, but also "complete with all internal organs" in terms of weapons, achieving all-round coverage. Sure enough, after the film was released, the helicopter named "Little Nell" became famous and appeared in many air shows.

Another great point of this film is that the director used a larger space to express Japanese culture, especially the bridge section of "Bond Fake Marriage". He described the Japanese wedding ceremony to a certain extent, even if it is not a panoramic view. The display also gave the audience the experience of watching the leopard in a tube. It is worth mentioning that the actor Hama Mie of the "Bond Girl" in this episode, known as the Japanese Brigitte Bardot, has a beautiful appearance that seems to be mixed with three points, and is the first Asian to board PLAYBOY.

Finally, let’s talk about the tidbits. Tamba Tetsuro, who plays Tiger Tanaka in the film, is an actor with a high reputation in the world, and even starred in Lu Junyi in Zhang Che's "Water Margin". However, in addition to the identity of an actor, he is also a psychic and the arch-master of a certain religion in Japan. He has published books and personally produced a movie called "The Great Spirit World". If you are interested, you can find it. .

    This is basically half of a Japanese film, and it's the Japanese with the knife fighting the Japanese with the gun. Teenage boys have the most reason to love Bond, with so many weird new weapons and irresponsible pick-up girls. And this special effect in the 1960s should be amazing.

    The story is poor, Sean Connery is starting to gain weight, he and Moneypenny are really a love story since five films, this story is messed up in Japan, and No.1 finally shows up, which is really disappointing, can that cat live so long?

  • Blofeld: The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It's the last program you're likely to see.

    James Bond: Well, if I'm gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?

    Blofeld: Yes. Give him his cigarettes. It won't be the nicotine that kills you, Mr. Bond.
