You Only Live Twice VS. The Spy Who Loved Me

You Only Live Twice IS The Spy Who Loved Me.

The Spy Who Loved Me is (nobody does it) better.

We need another one of either one of those.

I'm motivated by my Duty.

They are very similar but TSWLM is a little better.

The Spy Who Loves Me shoots You Only Lives Twice while skiing backwards, but he's not showing off.

Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.

Do you find that the action scenes in TSWLM are not near as good though, mostly because Connery is better at fighting and running compared to Moore?

Plus the plot of YOLT holds together better in some ways. The villain actually has a reason to steal a spaceship from each country. Cause making two spacecrafts disappear, will actually put two countries at war.

In TSWLM, the villain only needed to steal one submarine, and fire two missiles at each city from it. Rather than stealing two subs, and firing one missile from each.

But then again, the part of the plot in YOLT that makes no sense at all, is why does Bond dress up as a Japanese man and get married, especially after an assassin finds him, and is killed. The jig is already up and they know where Bond is, yet he still goes through with the wedding, and pretending to be Japanese.

So maybe the YOLT plot holds together just as well.

No, the part of the plot of YOLT that makes zero sense is this:

Every person within 100 miles of Blofeld's volcano base would have to be MAGICALLY, INEXPLICABLY BLIND not to see -- with the naked eye -- that "mysterious, unknown" ICBM-sized missiles were taking off and landing there at night.

Not just the Ama islanders... Any person aboard a ship or aircraft within a 100-mile radius could easily see them, and thus know pretty much EXACTLY where they're coming from/going down.

"Holy crap! Look! There's a freakin' missile taking off from that island over there!"

Absolutely no way SPECTRE could keep the location of their rocket base secret. No. Way.



Send her to the snakes!

You missed the concept of having one sub be British and the other Russian, framing the countries and leading to all out nuclear annihilation.

This doesn't frame the other countries. Both the UK and the USSR know that one of their subs are missing. So they both know that it's a third party causing all of it. If Stromberg had stolen one and launched two nuclear ICBMs immediately at each city, then they wouldn't have had time to figure it out. But Stromberg gave them time to figure it out it was a third party, and thus stealing two subs was moot.

How is the entire world supposed to be destroyed by destroying London and Moscow?

Stromberg's plan is to make it seem like the UK and Russia have nuked each other and the rest of the world will follow, leading to the world being destroyed and rebuilt underwater.

I mean, do you even pay attention to these movies?
