James Bond Movie: ***^You Only Live Twice (1967)

 In this Bond rendition we get both ninjas and the space program from Russia and the U.S.  Spectre is kidnapping space men in an effort to promote war between the U.S. and Russia.  Bond and Japanese secret service (lead by Tiger Tanaka, Tetsuro Tamba) are assigned to recover them.  They also need to stop anymore space vehicles from being captures and the U.S. and Russia blame each other.  We see number eleven killed by number one for failing to kill James Bond.  Number three also gets it in the end.  Q delivers a mini, but powerful helicopter.  It appears a toy but packs a punch. 

 Sceptre has their own space vehicle, which is capturing the smaller government vehicles.  It is Bond, and his supposed wife who come upon the Spectre base.  He is able to help the ninjas attack.  We finally see number one, more than just hid cat.  Number one is Blofeld (Donald Pleasence).  

Bond is married to Kissy (Mie Hama), for his cover but does finally get his honeymoon.  This is en par with the other Bond movies.  Lots of action and intrigue.  Bond seems to live through just about anything.
