If you’re a James Bond fan, you won’t want to miss our latest episode: 20 Things You Missed in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. In this deep‑dive discussion, we uncover 20 Things You Missed in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE that even longtime Bond aficionados often overlook. From continuity errors to clever background details, cultural insights, filming quirks, and subtle storytelling decisions, this episode shines a spotlight on the hidden gems tucked inside the fifth Eon Productions Bond adventure.

What we decode

Hosted by Dan and Tom of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, this episode explores everything from mispronunciations in NASA communications to Bond’s surprising use of nicknames, mysterious wardrobe changes, and the unexpectedly impressive continuity work involving Bond’s shoes and those hard‑to‑miss spats. You’ll hear about set design details at Henderson’s apartment, incorrectly repaired desk statues, and the symbolic use of the color orange to hint at Helga Brandt’s dangerous duality.

We also break down one of the most memorable sequences in the film: Little Nellie. From the autogyro’s weapons to the number of helicopters chasing Bond, we uncover continuity oddities, filming inconsistencies, and blink‑and‑you‑miss‑them production shortcuts. The episode also dives into space capsule reflections, art replicas inside Blofeld’s volcano lair, and the strange logic gaps surrounding Helga Brandt, Osato, and Bond’s supposed “death.”

Dan and Tom bring context, humor, and historical insights to each moment—from the real‑life sumo wrestler and Samoan grappler who appear on screen, to the realistic but deadly phosgene gas used near the Ama fishing village. And of course, we explore the infamous volcano base itself. From improbable gadgets Bond suddenly possesses, to the dramatic (and scientifically questionable) destruction of the SPECTRE spacecraft.

Plus, stay tuned for bonus observations on ninja entrances, frightened cats, references to Goldfinger, the Toyota 2000 GT convertibles made especially for the film, and clever audio design choices hidden throughout the final act.

Whether you’ve seen the movie once or a hundred times, you’ll walk away with brand‑new insights and a deeper appreciation for this iconic Bond classic. Join us for a fun, fast‑paced, detail‑packed episode that proves you really do only live twice—but you might need far more viewings to catch everything in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE.
