You Only Live Twice

You Only Live Twice

In 1967, Sean Connery announced that he`d had enough of playing 007 and that the fifth bond would be his last. An all out effort was made to pack this one full eg: James will die, James will marry, James will become japanese. 007 will also finally meet his faceless nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld,
head of the organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. In the film James Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet manned spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit. With each nation blaming the other.
