    Storyline

    Edit
    James Bond's next mission sends him to the circus. A British Agent was murdered and found holding onto a priceless Fabergé egg. Kamal Kahn buys the egg at an auction, but Bond becomes suspicious when Kahn meets up with Russian General Orlov. Bond soon finds out that Kahn's and Orlov's plan is to blow-up a nuclear device on a U.S. Air Force Base. Bond teams up with a circus group, which are headed by the beautiful Octopussy, who is also close friend of Kahn. —simon

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Sir Roger Moore's commentary in the DVD during the dinner scene, the eyeball in the stuffed sheep's head that Louis Jourdan eats is made out of marzipan.
    • Goofs
      The train of the "Octopussy Circus" has a steam engine which was a quaint, obsolete technology in 1983. However, due to the rising oil prices in the 1970s the railroad company of the German Democratic Republic started re-using steam engine trains in their regular traffic. The last steam engine got out of order in 1988.
    • Quotes

      [after Bond has escaped]

      Kamal Khan: Mr. Bond is indeed of a very rare breed... soon to be made extinct.

    • Crazy credits
      JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN "FROM A VIEW TO A KILL" - this is the second time in the series that the title of the next Bond film is not given as it will eventually appear (the FROM being dropped from Fleming's original title). See also The Spy Who Loved Me.
    • Alternate versions
      ABC cut 30 seconds from this film for its 1986 network television premiere.
