Isn't it "You Never Die Twice" instead of "You Only Live Twice" in the alias subline?

I'm pretty certain there are two sub-headings for this movie, both from international versions, I assume, and neither the one currently in the DB (which is the ACTUAL name of the 1967 James Bond movie, if I recall).

The two alias should be "You Only Die Twice" and "You Never Die Twice" but I wouldn't recommend changing them until someone can provide a screen grab for them. I believe "You Only Die Twice" is the more common one. I will see if I can find the Anchor Bay DVD at some point to post a shot from the credits, unless someone beats me to it.

Title screen of the German DVD:

It's the international cut of the movie which is different from the Chinese version.

I have also checked my old Golden Cinema City VHS from Hongkong, title in movie & box is just "Aces Go Places IV", no subline. I have no idea what's it on the Universe and IVL versions.

I'm pretty sure the U.S. DVD has "You ONLY Die Twice" but it'll still be awhile before I get home to check out the DVD. Either way, we've got at least one official alias now.

Well, I stand corrected. Looks like we only need one international alias after all. Here's the title card from the R1 Anchor Bay edition.

And here's the International Poster for good measure. Uncanny likeness of Sam Hui, I say...
