That one ninja who blew a hole in the roof and then started chucking grenades on SPECTER soldiers was the unsung MVP of this movie.

Ken Adam deserved an Oscar for that set

I love how the ninja is riddled with bullet holes 1:52 finishes rappelling and lies down dead that's dedication to the cause

My personal faviourite Bond film. I adored the japanese atmosphere and scenery, the score (best Bond theme evere, imo), and the story was a perfect mixture of action and suspense. And it was before Sean started to show his age. It's always had a special place in my heart alongside From Russia With Love and Goldeneye.

I think we should all take a moment to appreciate how bad ass that one ninja is at 1:57. He took out a squad of dudes with just a sword and they all attacked at the same time...not one by one waiting in the background striking menacing poses.

2:41 The Blofeld's cat is really scared about the explosion.

So epic. I wish action movies still did practical stuff like this.

Men this is classic Bond at its best.

I always loved the big battles at the end, like this movie, Thunderball, Moonraker and so on. I miss those.

so much to cover in four minutes, I've loved this scene since I was a kid -The size of the custom made set and the number of stuntmen in a single shot -The gyrojet armed ninjas who still attack half a dozen guys with a sword -The shellshocked cat at 2:40 that only wants escape -3:25 "Come on. Walk ten feet that way so I can shoot you over there and not here. Nevermind why that matters just do what I say. -Gee willikers what a battle! Should I stay in this quiet, un-bullet-riddled room? No, I think I'll take the rickety, pointless, one person monorail pod directly through the line of fire -"We have to get up there!" "Impossible, too well defended!" "Yeah it is that way, why don't we go up the back stairwell I just came down with Blofeld?" "But then we couldn't justify giving our men rocket guns!"

The best Bond and One of the best films. Nobody has since done it better.

Bond just walks out of a secret passage from the control room "we have to find a way into that contol room" Did nobody else notice?

If any classic 007 flick could be made into an FPS video game (as good as Goldeneye was), You Only Live Twice would definitely be a great one! I imagine the mission objectives for this final mission in the volcano lair would be something like: A) Rescue astronaut hostages B) Actívate crater entrance C) Rendezvous with Tiger Tanaka D) Obtain rocket exploder key E) Disable SPECTRE rocket

This scene is absolute insanity. Its great, but just absolute mass chaos.

Always interesting how, in early Bond movies, bullets always leave black holes going in and out of bodies.

The Real Hero of this movie was that one Ninja who blew up the Metal Doors that covered the Opening of the Volcano.

Props to Donald Pleasance for holding on to that cat for as long as he did, the poor thing was freaking out with all the explosions

Interestingly, prior to Ian Fleming's novel, on which this movie is based, no one had ever heard of "ninjas " before. Since then, an entire mythology has sprung up about them, even a sub-genre of action movies. There was even some debate within the martial arts community as to whether ninjas actually existed in history, or if they were an "urban legend ".

Those grey dudes are not kidding around! Awesome stunt work! Fuck yeah!!! 1:59 - Ninja Master! 2:42 - Cat's not stupid, wants out. This is not good. Where's my escape pod! 3:26 - Cat's had enough. Bye! 3:35 - Is that girl cute, or what?

On of the better big battles at the climax of a Bond movie. Excellent direction of the scene, you can actually tell who's fighting who.

2:41 that cat is not having a good day

A fine entry in the Bond series with an outstanding film score.

This is the movie that pretty much cemented most of the Bond stereotypes.

You only live twice has to be one of the best movie so much action and all the flip and tricks those guys did

3:05, I've just realised the radar operator is the voice actor for Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds. This really is a case for International Rescue!

I don't give a damn about what people say, but You Only Live Twice is my favourite Connery Bond film and will always be, even if most of my fellow Bond fans say that Goldfinger and From Russia With Love are Connery's best Bond films

It's amazing how rocket CCCP looks like starship' s SpaceX!!!!! And huge action sequence of Sir Sean Connery! RIP

I miss this bond. What a spectacle!

Great bond film connery brilliant as always.Shame we didnt more if Donald pleasance only near the last part of the film.

Give Blofeld credit, he took that Ninja throwing star to the wrist like a man....no crying out in pain or anything

We never see classic action scenes (stunning set pieces, great villains, exciting Barry's cues, exotic locales) like these in the newer Bond movies. What we have right now is a dull blonde Bond who doesn't know whether he's Bourne or Statham.

Dr. No says “we are impregnable.” I say: first appearance of ninjas in American theatres😂😂

Is there film poster artwork for YOLT that depicts the ninjas? Tiger Tanaka needs to be brought back into a future Bond film...🙏

I've been slightly obsessed for over 50 years with how many ninjas attacked and how many survived. I reckon 100 or so went in, 20 or so got out?? Yes I know this is very odd.

Mie Hama was so hot!!! Akiko Wakabyashi was, too!!!! This film is one of my top five favs of Bond.

2'38" the cat is not very comfortable 🤣

Classic stuff! That set was immense, i wonder if they used exagerated perspectives to make it look even bigger? Not to mention wide angle lenses. Must be one of the greatest movie sets of all time.

1960s Bond, once again ahead of his time.

That is one relaxed kitty!

Austin Powers if I ever saw it. "This is the price of failure." Then after shooting Osato, Blofeld tells 007 to come on, instead of immediately shooting him.

All the good guys and bad guys turned on the cheat code for unlimited ammo.

2:14 love the dude just vibing on the rope

Tanaka avoids the public because he‘s concerned about his safety by using a private undergroud train and here he absolutely accepts the high risk of being killed.

And there’s Kissy in the thick of it, undeniably dressed for battle!

Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi were so beautiful. Very talented actresses to boot! Great stuff.

Everyone else is in tactical gear. The woman is in a skimpy minidress. Doesn't spoil the scene credibility at all.

I never made the connection between this and Hank Scorpio's lair until now.

This is one thing Daniel Craig’s Bond was missing. He had to do every goddamn thing himself! 🤣

2:41 THAT POOR CAT!!!!

"Crater guns open fire" followed by 007 chastising Blofeld "Impregnable?" & third favorite "well, if I'm going to be forced to watch television, can I at least smoke?"

Shoutout to the ninja at 1:46 that gets turned into swiss cheese and then ropes down again two shots later

Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay for this movie!

Nobody is impregnable around James Bond.

The cat looks so traumatized 🤣

Props to the ninja that brought a sword to a gunfight and killed everybody

I was a movie theater usher making 75 cents per hour when this came out. I saw it so many times that I was pretty sick of it. But it was an OK movie for its time.

Japanese special forces with katanas. Absolutely amazing LMFAO

Love that cat going crazy.

Did he say there is an "exploder button" up in the control room? That must be next to the "save the world button."

RIP Sir Sean Connery

The problem especially starting with this film ( I still like it.) Is that the hardware is the real star. Of course when you have millions, it has to show on screen.

2:55 Isn’t that Kato, Inspector Clouseau’s housekeeper/sparring partner?

Greatest Bond Moment... Full military assault, everyone geared up and no one blinks a eye that the battle includes a chick dressed like a go-go dancer. The only thing missing from the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan...a chick in a bikini on the landing craft

Send in the ninjas ! And the girl in the bikini !

I feel sorry for the poor cat.

The one guy with the katana going ham

there is a lack of blood on the sword at 2:12

Upload the "Tomorrow Never Dies" bmw car scene from hamburg please 🤤😁

" ‘If you can do it for a million go ahead.’ And then my worries started…” Oh, dear... I'm so glad they pulled it off though.

quite a set, i must say!

RIP Sean Connery

1:33 what are you doing here? Running around in your dress?? 🤔

Bond just stands there waiting to get shot,...not once, but twice.

02:40 That cat is awesome!!!

Look how many ninjas they’ve got to take out these guys

2:41 the poor cat!

1:59 My favorite action scene of the movie

well the Cat was okay till the explosions started....Cats and Dogs are usually terrified of fireworks and Blofeld's Cat is no exception...according to Director Lewis Gilbert the Cat was so panicked and traumatised that it scarpered into the steel girders in the roof of the set and it took three days to persuade him to come down, Lewis Gilbert told that story at the NFT London while he was doing a Q and A prior to a special screening of " Moonraker", that would have been about ten years ago or so.....I was in the audience.

Still a way better climax than the overlong underwater climax in thunderball.

1:59 Anyone knows who this stuntman was ? Amazing skills and footwork

2:41 Well, that jacket's ruined.

If you look closely at 3:29, you can see the cat run out of the door after Blofeld shoots his gun.

That poor cat looks really frightened.

The best of them all.

goodbye mr bond

Lol @ the scene when Blofeld's cat got scared after the explosion in the control room.

That poor ninja that rappelled down already full of bullet holes.

With such strong guys, Japan would be safer......(from Japanese)

Kaecyy 48 seconds ago (edited) As a Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu practitioner, because I dig this I thought I should point out that at about 1:40 and continuing at 1:55 after some other stuff later you can see the real way to draw a long sword from your back- the sheath has to be pulled too, and the way I know how to do it you have to first undo the strap and detach the whole thing from your back to free the saya to pull down. I can't see how these guys are doing it but it looks like there might be two different techniques going on that I'm not aware of. But it looks like they managed to do it right. Then again, there's a reason they put the cut where they did I would assume. Normally drawing a long sword from the back is one of the biggest loads of bull you see in depictions of the sword in general, and in fantasy in particular. Seriously people- try it for yourselves. It's safer and easier to draw from the hip; from the back even when you do it right it seems to me that you expose yourself for an awkward and dangerous moment as these two gentleman did. That's probably why they cut it there. But these guys did have a good reason for the swords being on their back, so kudos all around for surprising authenticity. Another thing I'd like to praise is the ninja uniforms. They're not wearing the kabuki costumes; these uniforms look practical. They don't need to hide their identity so they don't impede their breathing with a mask. They wear gray and not black because that hides you even better in the dark. This scene is surprisingly not as ridiculous as it looks, and all the more awesome for it! I'm going to have to start telling people, "The last time the katana was used in modern warfare was in the 1967 raid upon SPECTRE's volcano base." They earned it. That one swordsman is a frigging Jedi. Finally, DONALD PLEASANCE as BLOFELD- THAT MAN CAN HANDLE A PUSSY!!! When the explosion goes off at 2:38 that cat is frigging terrified! But there's Donald with the calming Vulcan neck pinch, getting clawed for life and taking it like a pro. It's a two-handed job and the cat abandons its overlord when Blofeld has to be a dick and execute yet another competant, talented, trained, and dedicated henchbeing a few moments later. I guess Blofeld didn't know that cats have their own price for failure. SPECTRE- where good villians go to get fragged. I tell you people, one fuck up and it's cruel and unusual time? All that job has going for it is its completely badass style and John Barry brass mood music. Which IS a lot, admittedly. To this day nobody probably has cooler submersibles than SPECTRE.

Ninjas! Why did it had to be Ninjas?!

rip sir sean🙏🏻

You clicked on this video to see the cat shit itself. Don't lie. 🦌

@JamesBond007 please could you kindly upload all future uploads in 1080p HD instead of 720p like this one?! 🙏🏾

Goodbye Mr Bond

2:41 the part where blofeld's cat is panicing is unscripted

this along with the underwater battle in the thunderball

Connery Rules as Bond !

reminds of the warehouse shootout in Hard Boiled

Cat was freaking out. Lol

This is the real reason "Mr. Biggelsworth" is bald in the next Bond movie! Lost all his hair from the stress in this movie.
