No "radar blackout device" could ever stop anyone within a hundred miles of Blofeld's volcano base including all the Ama islanders, every ship at sea, or any aircraft in the area from simply seeing the SPECTRE Intruder Missiles taking off (and returning).
The problem isn't that they don't see the missile, the problem is that they can't find where it lands and don't know who it belongs to. The entire point of Bond going to Japan is because Mi6 is aware of the missiles and their connection to Japan, but cannot figure out where they're coming from and where they go. Bond's supposed to find it for them. The villagers aren't going to do much to help. And even if they could, all they'll say is "it disappears" or "hey, some people died when they went into this one cave".
The US doesn't care about the Japan stuff because they're convinced it's the Russians. The Russians don't care about the Japan stuff because they're convinced it's the Americans. It's actually kind of a joke on how focused the countries are on each other rather than everything else going on.
This movie has secret agent ninjas, by the way. -

Verily I say unto thee..YOLT is the most thrilling and exciting movie ever made but as I am not a medical man it is not for me to comment on the reasons why anyone would not find it to be. I would rather not be privy to the medical history of other users thank you very much so can only offer pity in this instance I'm afraid.

Verily I say unto theeyou only contributed to this thread to have a go at me and the quickness of your response tells me that you have been checking for a reply from me for two days so congratulations you got one at last. A lesser man than me would go to message boards for the Bridget Jones movies so I could attack you by dissing them but the problem is I haven't seen them because they hold no appeal for me.This of course begs the question..why do you watch Bond movies?

I could go either way on YOLT. It has a lot of good things in, like the redhead henchwoman and Blofeld who I like. I also love the action scenes in this one. But it does have that one section where Bond dresses to look Japanese which brings the movie to halt, but I guess it recovers. So it's good overall, but could have been better. A middle of the pack entry for me.

Verily I say unto thee..no film exists that is better than YOLT.
LOL!!!!
That is the most whimsical and outrageous statement you have made and you have build an illustrious career on these boards with atrocious comments.
YOLT is not even the best Bond film, let alone Connery Bond film.
When compared to true cinematic classics like the
GodFather
OR Once
Upon A Time in the West
, it pales as comparing a Ford Pinto to a Bentley.

Your list reminds me of one of those questions they used to ask in elementary school when they wanted to measure our intelligence.
They would furnish a list of items and then ask, "Which one of these does not belong with the others?"
