1 stupidity
Directed by: Lewis Gilbert
Starring: Sean Connery, Donald Pleasence, Desmond Llewelyn, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Charles Gray, Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Tetsuro Tanba
Plot hole: Blofeld tells the bad guys that they had Bond and let him get away. The woman says, "But Bond is dead. It was in all the papers." As we saw in a paper near the start, there was a well-publicised photo of Bond, and when she met him he wasn't using any kind of disguise, so how did she not recognise him if she'd seen the papers?
Aki: You wouldn't touch that horrible woman, would you?
James Bond: Oh heaven forbid.
Trivia: German actress Karin Dor almost suffered decapitation by the helicopter rotors in the scene where she and the actor playing Osato meet Bond for the first time. Only an attentive crewman, who shouted a warning at her, prevented it.
