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!

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.

@@counterinfluencer5684 It would be better if Pleasence played Henderson. Ηis murder would not be true - like Bond in Hong Kong - and here he would say that he is Blofeld's half brother, and Blofeld is the leader.

@@counterinfluencer5684also having Anthony Dawson who played Blofeld previously from behind only in From Russia with love and Thunderball and player Professor Dent in Dr No while his voiced was dubbed would have good to see him or actor similar portraying Blofeld although Pleasence did well he didn’t have that menacing voice and was more known for his role as Dr Loomis in Halloween films.

@@counterinfluencer5684 I was disappointed when they changed his voice. The voice in TRWL and Thunderball were menacing.

@@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.

Completely unoriginal, though. He looks like an almost direct copy of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers.

@@thomhardcastle9897 Ya, they shouldn't have done a direct copy of Dr. Evil, but rather done something original. Oh well.

@@user-ik4kh9lt6d Lazy writing, in my opinion. It would have been a lot better if they'd just done something original, like had an evil genius with a secret base on an island or mountain top, and plenty of nameless henchmen for Bond to cut through like a knife through butter. I blame Trump.

@@thomhardcastle9897 Actually this is original, they made Dr.Evil look like blofeld because the Austin Powers movies are parodies of various James Bond films.

@@Shemmitt Actually that’s a common myth, James Bond copied Austin Powers movies and Blobfeld was heavily inspired by Dr. Evil

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

​@george9822 You Only Live Twice once when your horn and once when you look death in the face. Source book YOLT

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

@@legoworldstudios1323 least they could have did was do up Grey to look similar all he did was dress the same

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey ye but I don’t think an old man would loose his hair purposely for a role

@@legoworldstudios1323 just use a cap

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey yeah but back in the 60s they didn’t have caps

best bond is daniel craig

Best Blofeld is Dr. Evil 😂

Nah, sounds quite chad to me.

Would felix be buzz aldren

Yeah? My name is Chad Dickstrong.

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!

Agree. I just love the way Blofeld’s face is revealed. Also what’s creepy is you never see him blink.

Omg I always thought it was a chair😂😂😂 I'm horribleeeee

This is how I meet my dates, and without blinking.

Allow myself to introduce…myself.

30 years later.

“100 billion dollars!” 🤙🏻

Amen to that...

Now we have a bland blonde Bond who doesn't know whether he's Bourne, Rambo or Statham.

@@jmcasas17, he knows who he is, and he's done a great job all of these years.

@@peterfranks6243, for what?

@@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 for what Craig 'lacks' according to you and snobs like you, please try and remember that both Connery (and to a lesser extent) Moore were both imitators of Cary Grant in _North by Northwest_ to begin with anyway, so originality was never a great ingredient of the Bond movies past or present (the Connery movies imitated whatever was popular in other movies in the 1950's and had a ton of stuff about the space program in _Dr. No_ and _You Only Live Twice_ , two of the Moore ones [ _Live & Let Die_ , _Moonraker_ ] were influenced by Blacksploitation films and _Star Wars_ respectively, and _License To Kill_ was a ripped from the headlines movie about the Colombian narco cartels complete with a bad guy who was as ruthless as Pablo Escobar or El Chapo.) 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.])

007 didn't make him he made 007

The one and only James Bond.

RIP Sean Connery was a fantastic actor

Still best James Bond he should have starred in OHMSS with salery Increase as well as DAF

His variations of his “Capsule In Space,” cue is AWESOME

I thought I was watching The Black Hole 😄

Tell me about it.

Ditto!

this is the kind of comment I came here to see :D

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

Agree!

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!").....

He was also awesome in "The Great Escape" as the blind forger.

Actually the poor thing was traumatized from the explosions. So traumatized it’s owner threatened to sue the production company.

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

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.

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!

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

What do you mean underrated? I don't think there are many people who dislike Thunderball & You Only Live Twice.

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

I’m a Thunderball guy

Thunderball is terrible.

Evil kitty! 😾

The old being part of Spectre ploy, eh?
