James Bond Imitated by Soviet Movies
A spy movie Goldfinger, released in 1964, has had a scene, where James Bond, strapped to a table, is threatened by an industrial laser, operated by bad guys. Soviet action film Detective, released in 1980, has had a similar scene, where a young policeman, strapped to a sawmill, is threatened by gangsters. However, it must be mentioned, that the sawmill scene was the young policeman s vivid imagination, not an actual element of the plotline. Another spy movie, You Only Live Twice, released in 1967, has had an iconic scene, where a moving gangsters car being lifted up a lawenforcement helicopter. Soviet adventure comedy The Diamond Arm, released in 1969, has had a similar scene. But, the Soviet criminals were not dropped to death, as their illfated Japanese colleagues, and a Soviet simpleton, who had fallen from the flying car s trunk, only broke his leg.
