You Only Live Twice 
(1967) - here's another James Bond movie with great rotary action, including 007's autogyro...
Sean Connery's original British super-spy pilots heavily-armed "Little Nellie"
(it's actually a Wallis WA-116 autogyro), which is delivered in packing crates while Bond
is on a mission overseas). On a recon flight, he deals with four attacking helicopters (these
are Kawasaki-Bell 47G-3, which is a licence-built version of the world famous Bell 47), causing
two of them to collide in midair! This movie also has the amusing scene where a mighty
twin-rotor chopper (the Kawasaki KV-107II, a licence-built Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight) uses
a powerful electromagnet to airlift the gunmen's car off the coast road, when Bond is
pursued by some killers, and it drops the bad guys' vehicle into the sea.

Notes:
"Other helicopters appearing in You Only Live Twice... a Brantley B2 is used
as an air-taxi to reach Blofeld's (Donald Pleasence) secret hideout in a volcano, and a
French-built Aerospatiale Alouette 316B ferries Bond to the ninja training area."
