Bond Girls: Kissy Suzuki (Mei Hama)

Hey guys,



In 1967 Sean Connery decided he was going to do his final Bond film, and it was somehow apropos that his "final" bond film happens to be one of the most pivitol points in the Bond storyline. The movie starts with one of the great Cold War Bond formulaics U.S. and Soviet spaceships are basically being stolen from space, and Bond has been sent to Tokyo after faking his own death. Initially Bond is paired with a Japanese agent named Aki, however, she is eventually killed by accident as S.P.E.C.T.R.E. ninjas were trying to kill Bond. Eventually Bond is paired with Kissy Suzuki (Kissy Suzuki), and after a rather drawn out disguise they head to S.P.E.C.T.R.E.'s lair, where finally, finally Bond and Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence) finally come face to face and Blofeld's face is revealed to the audience.

Bond Girls: Dominique "Domino" Derval (Claudine Auger)


 


Hey guys!!


I know I haven't posted on a while, but things are starting to get hectic with the holiday season, on the other hand I have recorded a bulk amount of videos to help with the chaos.


In 1965 Eon Films released the fourth movie in the Bond franchise Thunderball. In this film Bond starts off by searching for a member of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., while Bond (Sean Connery) is recovering from his battle, he meets Francois Derval who is the main link throughout the movie. Eventually Bond ends up in The Bahamas (again) and meets both Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi) and his mistress Dominique "Domino" Derval (Francois Derval's sister played by Claudine Auger). After saving Domino several times she finally joins Bond on his mission. This really is one of the strangest early Bond films, due in part to the styling of the Bond girl, the "reused" setting and the fact that the film was remade in 1983 by Warner Bros. under the title Never Say Never Again, staring Sean Connery as Bond, Kim Bassinger as Domino and of all people Rowan Atkinson as Q.

The character of`Domino heavily played off the theme of dominos, as for most of the movie Domino wore either black, white or both and that continued into her makeup aswell.
