That must have been a really exciting moment for the cinema audience at the time. For years they have been puzzling over who this mysterious Spectre No. 1 is, and finally he shows his face.
It was actually disappointing at the time. The previous films had shown Blofeld as gruff-voiced, dark and menacing, and Donald Pleasance was a bit too "light". The feeling was like, "THAT'S him?" It didn't help that he had just been in The Great Escape and Fantastic Voyage where he also played rather mincy characters.

@@Mr.Coffee576 Yh true, they should have stuck to Anthony Dawson (Body) and Eric Pohlman (Voice) playing him instead of Pleasance or have Telly Savalas taking over in You Only Love Twice who was far more intimidating and ruthless than pleasance ever was.

@@thomhardcastle9897 Actually this is original, they made Dr.Evil look like blofeld because the Austin Powers movies are parodies of various James Bond films.
The reason why they changed it to Savalas and Grey is understandable because the actor that plays Blofeld in this movie was called Donald Pleasance and he was quite old so in OHMSS they had to change him because Savalas was more of a physical blofeld ( I don’t know why they got rid of the scar though) and in DAF they couldn’t rehire Savalas or Pleasance because Sean Connery wanted a truckload of money to star in DAF
I love this scene. I love how he "comes out of the shadows", i.e. his bodyguard. Then when he's revealed himself, he pushes the "shadow" away, showing he's no longer content to be hidden. Excellent scene
@@peterfranks6243, so what? You and others like you just want to be pissy at Craig for no good reason other then you don't think he's 'suave' or 'sophisticated' enough, is all.

As I just said above, complete originality hasn't really been a feature of the Bond movies (plus one other thing-Craig was actually the closest facially to how Fleming described him, with a cruel mouth [the only deviation was that Craig is a blonde.])
it was great blofeld face remained invisible for 4 movies to keep intrigue and then came face to face with bond in 5th movie with all more intrigue. kudos to producers
Maybe 007 is disgusted by the evil face of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in this scene! But he seems to be totally overwhelmed by the thaught, that someone so evil and that hideously disfigured is able to inaugurate this new world order, that leads Ernst Stavro Blofeld zu world domination! And Bond can only look how his enemy is winning!
What a great delivery voice from blofeld!!Superb Bond as ever,,the nostalgic look back is so comforting to me,away from this horrible time we have now!!
Donald Pleasance its remembered for three movies: "Halloween" (1978) of John Carpenter, "The Great Escape" (1963) of John Sturges, and "You only live twice" (1967) of Lewis Gilbert.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld is so larger than life! Sees himself as the most superb being ever! And with his ingenious masterplan he is the unstoppable and invincible overlord! Self-confident and faultless! Already worshipped as a god within his organisation Spectre, he obsesses over almighty power! That's the reason why he will take over world domination! And his super-sexy beige silk pantsuit is totally perfect!
I love this movie I grew up watching it over and over in the 80s and 90s as a kid on VHS You had what you had back then Now the UK is falling to darkness and tyranny and the rest of the west is too
Small moment, but I love the oh-crap look on Osato's face when Bond's helmet is taken off, and the way Bond just looks at him afterwards. Like yeah dude, you fucked up. I may be about to die, but I won't be the only one!
To disappoint many others stating comments to this vid before, I interviewed many people that saw this film in 1967 in cinema. As well as men also women said that the reveal of Ernst Stavro Blofeld was more than iconic! One woman said she was firstly shocked by the hideously scarred face but she later saw the sexy pantsuit of Ernst Stavro Blofeld! And this iconic pantsuit and the way he describes his masterplan to take over world domination was that overwhelming for her, that this scene is her most desirable turn on she loves to see!
It would be more interesting if Pleasence played Henderson, with the scar on his face from Singapore in '42 instead of the lost leg. His murder would not be true - like Bond in Hong Kong - and here he would say that the leader is Blofeld, who is his half brother. This would also explain, why Bond and Blofeld doesn't know each other in the next film.
Very Iconic Seen In Cinema And Its A Shame They had To use 3 different Actors for Blofeld i wish they used this version of Blofeld in all 3 movies you only live twice,on her majesty secret service, diamonds are forever
Spectre also skipped over the whole Thunderball thing, so there’s NO buildup before it. It came out of left field. Honestly, they should’ve stuck with Quantum
@@maxfieldnuckels9075 The problem with Blofeld in Spectre is they hype up his involvement so much in the movie, but when him and Bond meet, it falls totally flat. It doesn't help that they cast one of the best villain actors of this generation, and give him a lousy script to work with. :/ Oh, and don't even get me started on that adopted brother twist. Or the piss-poor Return of the Jedi style resolution between Bond and Blofeld on the bridge ("Finish it!").....
Adoptive brothers 😂😂😂. I wish the series was more like this now instead of what we have had the last 15 years. All the Brosnan movies needed is a good story arc. Not a major overall like what's happened in the Craig era.
Mostly if they're compared to "From russia with love" and "Goldfinger", the two iconic 60s bonds. I really like thunderball, and YOLT wasn't bad either, even though connery seemed disenchanted with the role in this one
Blofeld: James Bond. Allowed me to introduced myself. I'm Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong. James Bond: Yes. This is my second life Blofeld: You only live twice, Mr Bond. I will never forget this scene when I saw it on TV. Im trying to imagine the reaction of the audience when this scene appeared at the big screen. Sean Connery and Donald Pleasance are already immortalized in this iconic film of the 007 franchise.
Blofeld didn't blink during this movie, did he? At least I didn't see him blink even once. Donald Pleasence's voice was just the best Blofeld voice. He sounds like a chartered accountant, totally unexcited. It's hilarious.
That’s why I could never be an actor, I don’t understand how people can do that to their eyes, it’s very damaging and dries them out. Sometimes I blink in my sleep with my eyes closed
Blofeld 1967: allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Blofeld 2015: Franz Oberhauser died along with his father years ago in an avalanche. The man you're talking to, the man inside your head is Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Played by Donald Pleasance and Christoph Waltz respectively
Mike Myers' character Doctor Evil from the Austin Powers films was definitely inspired by Donald Pleasence's performance of Ernst Stavros Blofeld in You Only Live Twice.
Chilling. Just chilling. Donald Pleasence is the best Blofeld hands down. Why did it take 5 years for movie-goers to finally see the face of the true villain himself?
The way Blofeld introduces himself is just classic.
Ok
Peering round the butt of a random henchman.
@@VoyagesDuSpectateur He finds the aroma in that area invigorates his appetite.
Not a single introduction of a villain comes close. If one may say so.
Behind a man's crotch! But in all seriousness, totally iconic, Donald Pleasence was the best Blofeld, so menacing and creepy!

Donald Pleasance as Blofeld - One of my absolute favorite cinema villains of all time.
Completely unoriginal, though. He looks like an almost direct copy of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers.

“You only live twice, Mr. Bond.”
Chilling.
You only live twice: once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.
I haven’t seen this movie. What does that line mean?
Ohhh, so that’s why they call it that
@@george9822I always took it to also have philisophical meaning. Like you have a good self and an evil self

Omg I always thought it was a chair😂😂😂 I'm horribleeeee
This is how I meet my dates, and without blinking.
The world is less fun without Sean Connery and Roger Moore.
Amen to that...
Now we have a bland blonde Bond who doesn't know whether he's Bourne, Rambo or Statham.

01:26 Connery plays that momentary discomfort so well. You can see him processing Blofeld’s hideous face as he’s winding back that quip
That momentary discomfort for Connery was real. He was thinking, "They should've offered me more money".
I also like the discomfort on Osato's face when he sees Bond again, it's like "I thought I killed him, they're going to get me now..."
Maybe 007 is disgusted by the evil face of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in this scene! But he seems to be totally overwhelmed by the thaught, that someone so evil and that hideously disfigured is able to inaugurate this new world order, that leads Ernst Stavro Blofeld zu world domination! And Bond can only look how his enemy is winning!
1:17
We see Blofeld’s face for the very first time.
John Barry sounded especially great in this picture
His variations of his “Capsule In Space,” cue is AWESOME
I thought I was watching The Black Hole 😄
Good to see these clips back!
Tell me about it.
Ditto!
Blofeld: “Who are you?”
Bond: “Armstrong, Neil Armstrong.”
Blofeld: “Neil Armstrong is a terrible name for an astronaut.
Nah, sounds quite chad to me.

Yeah? My name is Chad Dickstrong.

I love the bit where he introduces his son Scott.
Allow myself to introduce…myself.

It’s time again Mr Bond!
Love how blofeld's personal bodyguard, Hans, stands in front of him @:50 as extra security.
That’s a classic! There is no comparison with any other genre of movie.
Beautiful Scene!
Great to see these great clips coming back!
Oh I love this film. One of the best 007 films in my opinion.

Donald Pleasance its remembered for three movies: "Halloween" (1978) of John Carpenter, "The Great Escape" (1963) of John Sturges, and "You only live twice" (1967) of Lewis Gilbert.
1:13 The iconic reveal begins.
This is my favorite Bond movie.
Agree!
This was the line that was in Spectre. One of the greatest villain names of all time
Klaus Schwab meets James Bond
this is the kind of comment I came here to see :D
Ken Adam's masterpiece
Donald Pleasence! He was also in a bunch of John Carpenter movies, including Loomis in Halloween.
Dr Loomis is my favourite role played by Donald Pleasence.
You Only Live Twice is the only movie I know that Donald Pleasence appeared in.
He’s the president in Escape From NY
@@GodwinBaxter And he was in The Great Escape.
Donald Pleasence his first, last and only appearance as Blofeld
Donald Plesence was only in this film for about 15 minutes maybe even less yet he has to be the best version of Blofeld in the Bond series.

You had what you had back then
Now the UK is falling to darkness and tyranny and the rest of the west is too
The Volcano Lair perfectly symbolic of the scope and scale of the James Bond phenomenon in the 1960's. Classic.
It's also the stuff of nightmares in Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, a game I briefly enjoyed for the novelty, but grew out of pretty fast.
Ken adam and his amazing sets really hammered home the feel of bond's world
Small moment, but I love the oh-crap look on Osato's face when Bond's helmet is taken off, and the way Bond just looks at him afterwards.

Actually the poor thing was traumatized from the explosions. So traumatized it’s owner threatened to sue the production company.
Even though you could tell Connery wanted out ASAP, I’ve always thought this and Thunderball were the most underrated films in the series

Probably because the glue on the side of his face to create the scar hurt like hell when he moved his face!
That’s why I could never be an actor, I don’t understand how people can do that to their eyes, it’s very damaging and dries them out. Sometimes I blink in my sleep with my eyes closed
This is how I approach women. Never blink!
"Wait a minute...STOP THAT SIX-FOOT TALL JAPANESE ASTRONAUT!"
Wonderful clip!
When I think of Blofeld I think of Donald Pleasance.
Iconic scene
A detail I never noticed before: at 0:50 the bodyguard positions himself between Bond and Blofeld.
The Incredibles referenced the heck out of this movie from the villain location, the transport cars in the volcano and the music score.
John Barry's soundtrack 😊😊

Comapred to Bond meeting Dr. No and Grant, this felt very anti-climatic when he met the BOSS. But you really felt Connery was bored at this point.

Adoro ver Filmes com esse Actor nunca mais deu adoro

Bezos just needs a face scar and he could be the new Blofeld.
