Ah, They're 1940's Nazi Style Death Rays

You Only Live Twice: SMERSH deploys a predatory satellite that preys on USA and USSR astronauts, via the incredibly sophisticated technique of opening wide and just enveloping them (an old-school technique later duplicated on the high seas by evil Swedish shipping magnate Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me). No death beams of any kind are used… yet.

Was that SMERSH? I thought it was [del]KAOS[/del] SPECTRE.

I like that movie. The scene of 1960s Hong Kong near the beginning is a fascinating comparison to today… so is Tokyo and the rest of Japan (you can tell they just finished the Olympic Stadium)… and of course there’s Akiko Wakabayashi.

Edit: the nefarious criminal organization in You Only Live Twice wasn’t the Soviet counter-intel org SMERSH [abbrev. Smiert Spionam, or Death To Spies], but S.P.E.C.T.R.E. :smack: :smack: :smack:

I think I need some sleep.
