You Only Live Twice’ (1967)
Among the various questionable elements in the James Bond film series, one film that stands out as highly unlikely to be made today is You Only Live Twice. In this installment, Sean Connery’s Bond assumes an undercover role in Japan, which involves adopting a highly stereotypical appearance. This includes artificial eyelids, a jet-black toupee, exaggerated eyebrows, and even donning a kimono. The film’s portrayal of Japanese culture and its reliance on racial stereotypes draw unfortunate parallels to the controversial depiction in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
