You Only Live Twice (1967)

James Bond goes to Japan to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a spacecraft which was believed to have crashed in the Sea of ​​Japan.

Interesting trivia is that unlike most James Bond films, which usually feature various locations around the world, this particular film takes place entirely in one country --Japan. There is also a scene of a Japanese wedding ceremony and ama divers, which is in line with Ian Fleming's original novel devoting number of pages to the discussion of Japanese culture. 

TOHO Studios, known for the iconic monster, Godzilla, provided support in the film production including its Japanese actresses, Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama (both starred in King Kong vs Godzilla 1962), who learned English in the United Kingdom. Mie was supposed to be the main Bond Girl but she struggles with English and her role was switched with Akiko.

I often wonder how Dr. Who can......

Sorry, I lost my train of thought.  Got distracted by Mike Hama’s Madame Piranha.

Mie Hama and Akira Takarada in Ironfinger (Jun Fukuda, 1965) Cast: Akira Takarada, Mie Hama, Ichiro Arishima, Jun Tatara, Akihiko Hirata, Sachio Sakai, Susumo Kurobe, Toru Ibuki, Chotaro Togin, Naoya Kusakawa, Koji Iwamoto, Mike Daneen. Screenplay: Michio Tsuzuki, Kihachi Okamoto. Cinematography: Shinsaku Uno. Production design: Kazuo Ogawa. Film editing: Ryohei Fujii, Yoshitami Kuroiwa. Music: Masaru Sato. Ironfinger is a wacky and somewhat cheesy Japanese entry into the subgenre of James Bond spoofs that swept through movies internationally in the 1960s, attracting not only American and British filmmakers but also Frenchmen like Philippe de Broca (That Man From Rio, 1964) and even Jean-Luc Godard (Alphaville, 1965). Which may be why the pseudo-Bond of Ironfinger is part French. He calls himself Andrew Hoshino -- though it's not exactly clear that that's his name -- and is played a little more broadly than is necessary by Akira Takarada, a veteran not only of films by Yasujiro Ozu (The End of Summer, 1961) and Mikio Naruse (A Woman's Life, 1963) but also of numerous Godzilla movies, starting with Ishiro Honda's original Gojira in 1954. His leading lady, Mie Hama, made her own appearance in the real James Bond series in You Only Live Twice (Lewis Gilbert, 1967), playing Kissy Suzuki to Sean Connery's Bond. Ironfinger isn't unwatchable: There are some good gags, but also some bad ones. The climactic action sequence, in which the good guys foil the bad guys by tossing lighted matches into oil drums, which then explode into an impossible cascade of drums coming from every corner, is flat-out ridiculous. Still, if you can put up with some tacky pop songs and a needlessly complicated plot, Ironfinger is a tolerably amusing period artifact and only 93 minutes long.
