You Only Live Twice (1967) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when filming You Only Live Twice (1967) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- When Bond opens the door to enter the sumo games, the sign says "beauty parlor" in Japanese.
- When Bond and Aki are driving to meet Henderson, Bond starts out on the left hand side of the car. Just before they arrive, he is suddenly on the right hand side of the car. Also, during these scenes the car changes from left-hand driven to right-hand driven.
- When Osato's henchmen are chasing Aki and Bond, there are a couple of shots on the instrumentation in her car. The speedometer is always showing zero.
- Aki has pitch black hair, but her stunt double, who is climbing down the rope at the Kobe docks, has shorter brown hair.
- In the scene where Bond convinces no. 11 to "split the money" 50/50 with him, he also successfully seduces her. Now remember, he has just convinced her that he is an industrial spy and not a British agent, however, just as he's taking her dress off he says, almost directly in her ear, "The things I do for England."
- During the Russian space launch you can see palm trees in the right foreground. Palm trees in Russia?
- When Bond is getting ready to fly Little Nellie, after the scene when he tells Tiger to "listen in on 410 megacycles", in the wide shot of Little Nellie you can see a member of Q branch removing a bracket which holds the top rotor. But in the next close up of Connery the bracket is back again!
- When Bond fights against the four helicopters with Little Nellie, the tailfin gets shot, but the bullet holes disappear in the following scenes.
- When Bond reaches down and picks up the gun that Blofeld drops, the gun with his right hand, stands up and runs to his friends holding it inhis left hand, reaches them and it's back in his right hand!
- When Hans picks up the lamp in the end to hit Bond with it, the lampshade fall on the floor. In the next scene the lampshade is neatly placed on the table.
- When Bond is fighting Hans for the key to the shuttle destruct button, Hans picks up a lamp and tries to hit Bond over the head with it. In the close-up you can see him pick it up at the bulb end but in the long shot you see him holding it at the base end.
- At the first attempt to enter the volcano, Bond and Kissy try to go by the cave but find it filled with highly poisonous gas. However, when the volcano is being destroyed, Bond and the surviving ninjas escape unscathed through the same cave.
- When Kissy has gone for help and Bond enters the volcano, she has put some more clothes on top of her bikini. In the end though, when they are swimming out from the big cave Rusaki, she only has the bikini again.
- When Bond and Kissy are sitting in the rubber boat, Bond has hair on his chest, but previously in the movie this was shaven off to make him look more Japanese.
