. . . in this nearly-hour-long, seemingly endless montage of clips from the first half dozen or so James Bond flicks. If you've seen them already, this may jog a few memories, but you will learn absolutely nothing new from this made-for-TV extended advertising twaddle. If you have NOT seen DR. NO, FROM RUSS1A WITH LOVE, THUNDERBALL, GOLDFINGER, and YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, you'll get every spoiler possible--including the liquidation scenes of all the key villains--while being thoroughly confused by an editing job that could not be more haphazard and slap-dash. The "new" framing footage featuring "Miss Moneypenny" and "Q" is poorly written fluff delivered with inept line readings. Today's all-Kardashian, all-the-time TV is somewhat depressing, but WELCOME TO JAPAN MR. BOND proves that television actually has IMPROVED in the past 47 years!
