You Only Live Twice - James Bond vs. Sumo Wrestler (in Tux)

My favorite fight scene from You Only Live Twice;
crazy flipping and tossing on tile floors.
I don't own this video.

[@canonkingsley6569]

Bond: Any last words? Villain: Someday my grandson will be the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.

Lol good one

Nice!

He almost took that sword, turned it sideways and stuck it up his candy a$$

[@skinrig]

the actor who played the wrestler is Peter Maivia, the maternal grandfather of Dwayne "the rock" Johnson.

They should have made tribute fight scene with Daniel Craig and The Rock

Just read that and came here to have a look.

[@GoatedCulturePodcast]

I was today years old when I found out this piece of history. On the new episode of “Young Rock” released Friday , Feb 3rd , 2023! The rock is talking about his grandfather being cast in this movie & it even recreates a flashback of the scene , so I paused it and came to KZbin to watch … very cool

RIP Sir Sean Connery (August 25, 1930 - October 31, 2020), aged 90 And RIP Peter Maivia (April 6, 1937 - June 13, 1982), aged 45 You both will be remembered as legends

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

i never put just his name, out of respect i always write "high chief Peter Maivia"

[@the81kid]

Wow, a fight where you can actually SEE what's happening and who's who! It can't be from the last 20 years then.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

It really wasn't a fight as much a dudes throwing objects at each other lol,

[@rockolutheran]

i dunno its not that old, see movies from the pre-sound era

[@wangson]

Yup. Totally agree.

[@ashleywintle8570]

Out of all the Connery films, I feel like this is the one that aged the best.

[@girlcrazyrockstar]

@@colts2323 it's also one of the ones that had a big battle scene this movie in particular had a big battle between the ninjas and spectres soldiers in the volcano. The newer films need more big battles along with some other things

[@jskypercussion]

From Russia With Love Also. That is still one of the most believable realistic fight scenes put on film.

[@HarpoTheVillain]

Nicely shot, zappy editing, decent choreography. It's rare to find fight scenes that aged decently.

[@trifleneurotic]

Agreed. This one has always struck me as one of the better fights of the Bond series. Brief but brutal, and no music to let the action speak for itself.

[@jskypercussion]

@@trifleneurotic This and most definitely the fight on the train in From Russia With Love.

[@josephdanieljirehdimacali4418]

The only film appearance of former NWA wrestler "Peter Mavia", he is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsons maternal grandfather and the inspiration for the design of "Maui" in Moana film.

[@Reuben_95]

‘Good evening!’ So classy before a fight lol

[@emprodabobplays]

Just seen Young Rock episode and had no idea The Rock's grandfather stunt coordinated this scene 🔥🔥🔥

This was THE best fight in 007 history!

[@patrickt9864]

1:09 he sold like the stone cold stunner

[@hutchmusician]

Yeah man! You can see his pro wrestling skills in play. Amazing movement for a 120kg+ guy.

[@1000mongoose]

Yeah, Usually fight scenes this old almost make you cringe with embarrassment they're so bad, but this one impressed me from day one. The way it's edited and the sound effects. The way Peter Mavia moves so quickly for a big guy. It all goes to really sell the scene. The next day at school I'm telling my friends....."Yeah, Bond hits the guy with a f....king COUCH!!"

[@hutchmusician]

Came looking for this comment - Maivia moves like a man 30kg lighter, really amazing. I'm off to search KZbin for more of his work.

[@devillarratt4134]

He sold that head whack like the Rock sells the Stone Cold Stunner

[@outerspaceman7534]

He should have flopped around like a fish.

[@stanleygoering4856]

Funny you say that considering he’s The Rocks maternal grandfather!

[@LunarSpawnSerenata]

Selling runs in the family 😂

[@fuyu5979]

In the current James Bond movies, you don't see Bond fighting these enormous henchman like the Sean Connery ones. Looked forward to those scenes. They should included it in the current ones. Kudos for this upload. Thanks
