- "Ninja training camp" in Nimeji Castle, You Only Live Twice, as an 11 year old, this was very cool.
- Aerial shot of Bond fighting henchmen on Kobe docks rooftop in You Only Live Twice
- Bond entering Tokyo subway in You Only Live Twice, meeting Tanaka in his private train.
- Lincoln Continental and hoodlum getting crushed in Goldfinger.
- Bond playing golf with Auric Goldfinger.
- Jill St John with the brat in "Circus Circus" in Diamonds are Forever, "Blow up yer pants!"
