The film was a box office hit, grossing over $111 million in the worldwide box office and ever since Western fascination with the ninja bloomed with ninjas appearing in television, movies, comics and everything in between. Much like the novel, the film culminated with a spectacular actions setpiece in which 007 and an army of ninjas invade the secret hideout of the mysterious SPECTRE. Three years later Roald Dahl adapted it to the big screen, with Sean Connery in the lead and Lewis Gilbert behind the camera. Back in 1964, Ian Fleming released You Only Live Twice. It was his last James Bond book before his death and featured Tiger Tanaka, an ally to Bond and the head of the Japanese secret service who sends his ninja allies to help Agent 007 attack Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his troops.
