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 law-enforcement 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 ill-fated Japanese colleagues, and a Soviet simpleton, who had fallen from the flying car’s trunk, only broke his leg.
