Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile scouting locations in Japan, the chief production team narrowly escaped death. On March 5, 1966, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, director Lewis Gilbert, cinematographer Freddie Young, and production designer Sir 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 was 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 encountered severe turbulence and disintegrated over Mt. Fuji, killing all aboard.
- GoofsAfter a 4 hour hike to the top of the crater with no backpack, Bond pulls out a full suction cup apparatus set up. How did he ever know to bring this, not knowing there was anything inside the crater?
- Quotes
