Finished watching "007 05: Thunder Valley"

If it weren’t for George Lazenbe’s failure in the sixth "Queen's Secret Service" (although I personally like it), the seventh "Diamond" has regained the rescue of Sean Connery, "Thunder "The Valley" would have been the curtain call for the original James Bond played by Sean Connery.

As an important contributor to making the IP of "007" popular, Connery got a good script in his original 007 movie. The story of "Thunder Valley" is better than that of "Gold Finger" and "Thunderbolt." Much more interesting.

Moreover, even though some Asian cultures (women wearing cheongsams led by Tarot) have been vaguely mentioned from "Dr. No", since "Thunder Valley", Asian agents were officially introduced into the 007 series- And at once, China and Japan will come together. It's just that, in this movie, the Japanese agents got more displays, while the Chinese female agents were only short-lived at the beginning.

The two "Bond girls" in this film are also brilliant enough. Different from the previous Western beauties, the Japanese femininity of Aki and Kissy Suzuki injects a touch of gentle charm into the story of 007.

Of these two, I actually like Aki better. Compared to Kissy, Aki’s appearance is not so outstanding, but it is a rare 007 film "Bond Girl" that not only does not hold back, but also helps Bond. Compared with her, the female agent of "Love from Russia" and the female pilot of "Goldfinger" are really not enough to watch... Another gossip is that at that time, Aki's actor Wakabayashi Yingko was originally going to star in the final role with Bond. The married Kissy, but because Lin Yingzi improved faster and higher when receiving English training, she finally took the role of Aki with more lines, and Kissy, who spoke less, was played by Hama Mie.

Needless to say, Kissy, the woman who married Bond before Tracy. Who can't be moved when she sees her beautiful and sad eyes when she is wearing Bai Wugou.

Generally speaking, one of the early Bond films is very good and worth watching. Bond's smooth hair style is really a bit dull.

    The Japanese women here are really good-looking, but no matter how good the yellow people are, they are not suitable for running around in white underwear. They don't have the taste of European and American women.

    In this episode, there is a small villain played by Dwayne Johnson's grandfather. Not to mention the similarities in body and appearance, it's really not easy to fight, haha~ Another thing to be commended, there is a twist and jump from the building in this episode It was done by Uncle Sean himself, without a stand-in, a shot is very complete! Really real work!
