When an American space capsule is swallowed up by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship, World War III nearly breaks out. The British Government, however, suspect that other powers are at work as the space craft went down near Japan.

Dahl said that the original novel was "Fleming's worst book, with no plot in it which would even make a movie", [14] and compared it to a travelogue, [15] stating that he had to create a new plot though "I could retain only four or five of the original story's ideas." [16] On creating the plot, Dahl said he "did not know what the hell Bond was going to do" despite having to deliver the first draft in six weeks, and decided to do a basic plot similar to Dr. No. [14] He was inspired by the story of a missing nuclear-armed U.S. Air Force bomber over Spain and by the Soviet Union and the United States' recent first spacewalks from Voskhod 2 and Gemini 4. [9] Dahl was given a free rein on his script, except for the character of Bond and "the girl formula", involving three women for Bond to seduce– an ally and a henchwoman who both get killed, and the main Bond girl. While the third involved a character from the book, Kissy Suzuki, Dahl had to create Aki and Helga Brandt to fulfil the rest. [17] a b On Location With Ken Adam. MGM Home Entertainment.

A nice establishing shot of Hong Kong Harbour gives way to the burial at sea of 007 – note the beautiful turquoise seas here during the dive sequence – the underwater clips here were filmed in the Caribbean.

Gilbert, Young, producers Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and production designer Ken Adam then went to Japan, spending three weeks searching for locations. SPECTRE's shore fortress headquarters was changed to an extinct volcano after the team learned that the Japanese do not build castles by the sea. The group was due to return to the UK on a BOAC Boeing 707 flight ( BOAC Flight 911) on 5 March 1966, but cancelled after being told they had a chance to watch a ninja demonstration. [7] That flight crashed 25 minutes after takeoff, killing all on board. [10] In Tokyo, the crew also found Hunt, who decided to go on holiday after having his request to direct declined. Hunt was invited to direct the second unit for You Only Live Twice and accepted the job. [11]Little Nellie takes some bullet hole damage to its rudder during the helicopter battle scene.

[41] Release and reception [ edit ] While scouting for locations in Japan, the chief production team was nearly killed. On 5 March 1966, Producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, Director Lewis Gilbert, Cinematographer Freddie Young and Production Designer Ken Adam were booked to leave Japan on BOAC flight 911 departing Tokyo for Hong Kong and London. Two hours before their Boeing 707 flight departed, the team were invited to an unexpected ninja demonstration and so missed their plane. Their flight took off as scheduled and twenty five minutes after take-off the plane disintegrated over Mt Fuji, killing everybody on board. The incident brought with it an unsettling reality to the meaning of the title “You Only Live Twice”. As part of Bond’s disguise as a Japanese man, they shave all the hair from his chest. Yet in the final scene of the movie, when Bond and Kissy are in the lifeboat, Bond’s chest is quite hairy, even though this is only a few days later.
