You Only Live Twice/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Yet Practical: Bond's safecracker gadget, it's a tiny device that would you definitely expect a spy like Bond to have in a pocket just in case there's a safe to break into. The fact that it can't account for a safe's alarm just makes it feel more real.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The title theme by Nancy Sinatra (known by the young ones through Robbie Williams' "Millennium").
  • Ho Yay: Of a sort. Bond's password to meet his contact in Japan is "I love you", which leads to the following exchange:

Bond: "If you're Tanaka, then how do you feel about me?"
Tanaka: "I...love you."
Bond: "I'm glad we've got that out of the way."

  • Special Effects Failure: The majority of the budget was funnelled into the admittedly impressive volcano set, meaning that the rocket model effects ended up being rather short-changed.
