Crocodile Submersible; Bond sneaks onto Octopussy's island by driving a disguised boat that looks like an crocodile.

Adding more layers to this cast are the Meyer twins, David and Anthony, who play Mischka and Grischka, Orlov’s circus performer underlings. With a flair for knife-throwing and some dashes of comedy, they meld effortlessly into the film’s vibrant palette. In these stories you will get to accompany Bond on his missions across the globe: Jamaica, West Berlin and London. Enter the world of espionage, spies, traitors and assassins. At the end of the film, the credits announce that the next Bond film title as From a View to a Kill. This was later changed to A View to a Kill right before filming began. Octopussy is also the last Bond film to date to announce the title of the next film in the end credits. a b c d Field, Matthew (2015).

Well, we’re definitely not politically correct,” admits Glen. “We wouldn’t get away with a lot of the stuff we did now. We were of our time and reflected conventions of the time. In our films we tried to be up to date. But the woke age we’re living in now is going to ruin films if we’re not careful. You have to think twice before you do anything. You’re going to offend somebody somewhere, no matter what you do.” Deep into the film the Faberge egg turns into a nuclear bomb. Not literally but that’s certainly how it felt. The egg goes from being vitally important to utterly irrelevant and the bomb appears instead. Where from? Um, not entirely sure.

Octopussy (Ultimate Edition). MGM Home Entertainment. Sir Roger Moore, having given us the suave secret agent in For Your Eyes Only, seemed poised to hang up his Walther PPK. His hesitant tango with the character led to what could only be described as a media frenzy, with the likes of Timothy Dalton and Lewis Collins sliding into the list of potential Bonds.Earlier in Khan's palace, Bond discovers that Orlov has been supplying Khan with priceless Soviet treasures, replacing them with replicas while Khan has been smuggling the genuine objects into the West via Octopussy's circus troupe. Orlov is planning to meet Khan at Karl-Marx-Stadt in East Germany, where the circus is scheduled to perform. Khan's assassins break into the palace to kill Bond, but Bond and Octopussy thwart them. Bond learns from Q that the assassins have killed Vijay. James Bond: Yes. Smythe, after a brilliant military career, was seconded to our secret service. His mission was to recover a cache of Chinese gold seized in North Korea. Both he and his native guide disappeared. The gold was never found. Sadly, even though Moore is continuing the good acting of Bond he achieved in For Your Eyes Only, he is looking his age and not physically suited to the action. He is also saddled with having to do moronic things like swinging on a vine whilst doing the Tarzan jungle yell. It's pretty painful to watch and you have to wonder who on earth thought it was a good idea? There's moments when a silly bit of humour undermines the good plotting, while Berkoff and Amritraj are in turn over the top villainy and scarcely believable as a field agent. The film looks cheap, a rarity for a Bond film, and the smartness of the story often gets buried beneath the weight of convolutions. Most galling is that we should have had a classic Bond movie, a gargantuan feast of sets and tough secret agent shenanigans, for this was the year when Bond as we know it was facing off against the Kevin McClory rival Bond movie, Never Say Never Again, and that had Sean Connery in it; though he was also like Moore in his early 50s and too old for the suit. Really the film should open with the identical twin knife-throwers murdering the doomed clown for his egg (new favourite sentence of these retrospectives! That’ll take some beating, too). The hunt is tense, creepy and thrillingly discombobulating. No Bond, no explanation – just a dark forest, two silent killers, a very unusual prey, all played out in virtual silence until John Barry starts doing his thing. Even then, no dialogue intrudes. Noise is minimal and efficient: the popped balloon, the thud of knife in wood, the strangled last cry of the clown. The Property of a Lady : Bond is tasked with identifying a top ranking Soviet spy during the auction of a Faberge art in Sootheby’s in London.
