12 Things You Learn Rewatching You Only Live Twice

1. The Ending Is Actually Pretty Clever

The movie ends with Bond and Kissy making out in a dinghy, as is basically the Bond movie tradition at this point. However, there's a fun little spanner thrown in the works, as just when Bond and Kissy look like they're about to get down to business, a gigantic submarine scoops them out of the water and interrupts their canoodling.

Just as it seems that the movie's going to lazily repeat the same stale ending of most prior Bond flicks, 007 basically gets c***-blocked by Q (Desmond Llewelyn), Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell) and the collective British Secret Service aboard the sub. Marvellous.
