- John Barry’s elegiac score and Freddie Young’s improbably beautiful photography combine to make Lewis Gilbert’s 1967 film the most glamorous of Sean Connery’s Bond outings. An action-packed travelogue set within neon-soaked Tokyo and the storybook environs of the Japanese countryside, 007 plays cat and mouse with Donald Pleasance’s Blofeld in a volcano that doubles as a launching pad. Godzilla fans will recognize Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama while Krimi aficianados are treated to Karin Dor as a duplicitous femme fatale.
Trailers from Hell showcases classic previews of past movie attractions punctuated with humorous commentary by iconic filmmakers.

Not only was it my favorite Bond movie, it is one of my favorite movies. This was the first Bond film I saw in a theater. I was 7! My parents bought the soundtrack record. When it came on TV, I watched it every time. It had EVERYTHING a kid like me wanted to see. Space kidnappings and astronauts. An insane villain with a lair inside a volcano. A helicopter battle. Car chases....that Toyota 2000GT. The post war, super modern Japan and all the gadgets. And a great score. It had it all. Exotic, exciting, surreal, and most important, what all the newer Bond movies are missing, is that it was incredibly fun.
Excellent, informative commentary. Ken Adam's giant sets were spectacular and even us kids loved them, the music, the action, and the poster art.
Would love to hear Dana Gould do a feature-length commentary to... well, any old movie really.
Check out the episode of James Bonding podcast where he was the guest and they go through "The Spy Who Loved Me"
Thanks Dr Z!
Man I love the Lewis Gilbert Bonds. YOLT might not be my favorite out of the whole series but it’s definitely in my top 5!
My favourite Bond movie too. Even though, yeah, there are superior examples. I respect your good taste, Mr. Gould.
Nancy Sinatra's theme song is my favorite of all the Bond's
Which inspired Robbie Williams’ MILLENNIUM 22 years later!
Me, too. The failure to mention it in this video is a huge oversight.
@@SarahRenz59 I just watched it. Not sure what you mean about a "huge oversight"!!!!!!
@@ToyKingWonder I'm not sure, either. I've been having an on-and-off problem with seeing my YT comments being posted to multiple videos...??
This is my favorite Bond too, and when I saw this I thought “Oh no, he’s gonna rip it apart.” What a relief that it’s your favorite too, despite it not being “the best”.
Production Designer Ken Adam did his best work for the Bond series in this film.
Those Practical Sets looked Spectacular.
I doubt they would make a Movie like that today.
@@queenglamazona8789 Outside of the Volcano Lair, I loved Blofeld's Apartment, Osato's Office, and Tanaka's Office.
Today everything would be done with Green Screen.
I saw this movie in my local theater as part of a double bill. Earlier, it had been re-released as a double bill with "Thunderball". My theater showed YOLT and "Diamonds Are Forever". They had the poster from the older double bill, so they just taped over the "Thunderball" bit with a handwritten "DAF" piece of paper. All to say that I first saw YOLT, DAF and Live and Let Die theatrically before I ever saw them on TV.
I can still hear the applause when Bond ran over the crocodiles in "...Die".
What you missed in the video is John Barry's song and theme are the best of all Bond films (second is "You Know My Name" for "Casino Royale"). Barry's music was profoundly haunting in the way Barry was known for, and with an Asian musical flair to it as well. Ken Adam's main set is still better than any set in any other Bond film.
Not to mention that the Special Effects team won an Oscar for Connery's toupee.
Found the brunette villain actress Karin Dor incredibly beautiful as a kid watching it back then. Amazed that she didn't hit the big time in hollywood.
Nancy Sinatra's title song is fabulous, second only to Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger.
Absolutely, it is almost a remake of the haunting Shirley Basse classic. Nancy Sinatra knew she did not really have the chops to pull the song off. But the producers cobbled together a fine performance from many different takes.
In one sense the song "You Only Live Twice" is better than "Goldfinger". Because the lyrics are about all of us. Not just the characters in the movie.
I prefer Nancy Sinatra's title song. My favorite of all James Bond films.
@@boke75 An excellent choice 😎
Not my fave but fabulously fun, inventive and unpretentious in a way modern Bonds and indeed modern movies simply cannot compete.
I think it starts off well and then it sags in the middle. I didn't like the dog fight thing either. Fortunately, the finale awesome and Blofeld is memorable.
Truer words never spoken, "Sean Connery is James Bond."
More of a "Diamonds Are Forever" fan myself but this film is okay.
I love Diamonds. I see it as a coruscating self parody and it's easily the funniest one.
hehe, I never knew it was written by Ronald Dahl. Fun
Kissy Suzuky(Mie Hama) was the Real Hero of this Movie.
She bought all the Ninja back so that they could help Bond at the Volcano.
The first Bond movie I saw as a 14 year old in 1991, so it holds a special place for me.
This was my first James Bond movie too, watched far too young at a drive-in. My Bondmania was assured!
Killer Ernie Anderson impression, Dana!
And an uncredited Yasuko Nagazumi as one of the bath girls, future mother of Miki Berenyi of the band, Lush 🎸
Roald = "ROW-uld."
YOLT is also catnip for car buffs, featuring the highly collectible Toyota 2000 GT.
Ernie Anderson!!
Technically Dana THREE times if we Can include The PS@ Video Game From Russia With Love.
YOLT is definitely a comedown from previous Bond movies -- Ken Adam's sets are a knockout, and John Barry contributes another memorable score, but Connery was clearly bored with the role by this time and Donald Pleasance makes for an unintentionally funny villain (Blofeld was most effective when he could be heard but not seen, re: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and THUNDERBALL). The first non-Connery Bond that followed was a real step up from this bloated but underwhelming effort.
I agree. YOLT has some great moments, fantastic sets, a fantastic score by John Barry, and stellar cinematography. However, it's very uneven and the whole "turning Japanese" thing was not particularly well done. On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a huge step up and in terms of cinematic craftsmanship, it's my favorite Bond movie.
why do the stunt guys fall like their diving into a pool
Yes, the script for this film was written by the same guy who wrote Charlie And The Chocolate Factory........which kinda tracks. I mean, Oompa Loompa sounds a lot like the name of a Bond girl.
"Guten tag, Herr Bond. I am Oompa Loompa."
"For some reason, my penis is afraid of you. Gotta go." 🤪
It's odd to see a former San Francisco comedian hosting James Bond commentary. But SF was just a waystation for Gould, who fits better in LA or Boston.
Never Say Never Again is the best Bond. Or maybe Octopussy
The first bond film that gets away from the character. The hardware is the real star . Plus at this time Connery was already tired of being bond and his performance shows it.
Who else remembers and loves Hammerhead? I'm convinced Mike Meyers stole some bits from that movie.
I enjoyed it when he was a Japanese man.
I red the book before I saw the movie I was so disappointed. Except for the the beginning the the movie was not at all like the book which was better than the film almost walked out because for me this was not You Only Live Twice. a totally different story not the book
😂 you're right... it's not the best Bond, it's the worst of the Connery's...(who's the only true 007..) ✈️ the title song is great...
It's got a couple of good scenes, my favorite being the fight in the building when he takes the place of the villain in the car.
But the finale, the end, feels artificial... with the jumping props...Little Nelly is not so hot either...
And the strangest continuity problem is when they reach the volcano and he sends the girl to warn the others. The next minute he's in full gear with hand bombs etc. BUT they carry NOTHING on the way to the volcano, where did he get the equipment from?🐸
Roger Moore is the best Bond...to impersonate
Lose the Buddy Holly frames.
