You Only Live Twice (1967)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Lewis Gilbert
Starring: Sean Connery, Donald Pleasence, Desmond Llewelyn, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Charles Gray, Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Tetsuro Tanba
Revealing mistake: During the car chase scene, if you watch the speedometer on the car, it never rises above zero. That, and the obviously poor image quality of the "road" in front of them, shows that they were using projected film in front of the car.
Aki: You wouldn't touch that horrible woman, would you?
James Bond: Oh heaven forbid.
Trivia: Akiko Wakabayashi (Aki) couldn't drive a car. In the sequence outside Osata's office, the illusion of her driving was created by six strong crew members pulling the car with a cable.
