I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently.
This is the fifth in the Bond series n Connery reprises his role of James Bond for the fifth time.
This time Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet astronauts disappear mysteriously in orbit, each nation blaming the other. In this movie, Bond faces his arch enemy, Blofeld (Donald Pleasence), his bodyguard Hans n some offscreen piranhas. Bond gets to cool off with Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Tsai Chin n Karin Dor.
Things about Blofeld from the book - Blofeld is a man of honor. In the book, Blofeld promises that a girl he's holding hostage will be returned unharmed if her father pays the ransom. SPECTRE Number 9 is in charge of the hostage and, after the money is paid, he rapes the girl before returning her home. After learning this, Blofeld kills Number 9 for disobeying orders and returns half the ransom money.
In the book, Blofeld is 6.3 in height n a massive man, weighing 140 kg. He had been a champion weightlifter in his youth.
