Coming in at unlucky number 13 in the James Bond series, Octopussy is at the scrag end of Roger Moore's incarnation, when it had begun to look like 007 might require liver tablets just to make it out of bed in the morning.
Among other embarrassments, it features Moore disguised as a circus clown, sliding down a banister like Inspector Clouseau and informing an Indian accomplice as he hands him a wad of winnings, "That should keep you in curry for a few weeks." There's the issue of that awful title too, though admittedly that was Fleming's doing. One to pass quickly over.
