      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.

      [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.

    8/10
    Entertaining, action packed n hilarious at times.
    I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.

    Revisited it recently.

    This is the thirteenth in the Bond series and the sixth to star Roger Moore as James Bond.

    After the death of 009, Bond is assigned the task of following a general who is stealing jewels and relics from the Soviet government. The mission leads Bond to cross paths with an exiled prince n his associate, Octopussy and later Bond discovers a plot involving nuclear weapon.

    The film has one of the best pre credits scene of an aerial chase.

    For a change, Bond does a Tarzan stunt, dons a gorilla outfit n also of a clown.

    There is a lovely train sequence and a lol scene of that of a car being run on tracks by Bond.

    It has a jungle chase sequence involving elephants, tiger, leeches, spiders n crocodiles.

    But the best is the climactic aeroplane sequence which is tension filled n well shot.

    Bond's sliding on the rail of stairs n shooting villains is epic and he riding a horse n catching up an aeroplane is amazing. Both the scenes are copied by the Bollywood spy film Ek Tha Tiger but done in a good way by Salman Khan.

    This film has some very weak villains but a mighty strong n loyal henchman known as Gobinda played by an Indian actor Kabir Bedi.

    This time Bond faces knife throwing assassins, a deluded General Orlov, an exiled prince Khan, a strong henchman Gobinda with an intimidating glare that causes Bond to lose his appetite, lots of thugs, guards, hunters, Colonel Luis Toro n his soldiers n a very ruthless contract killer with a yo-yo saw.

    This time Bond gets to cool off with a sultry Hispanic female agent played by Tina Hudson, another hottie Kristina Wayborn and once again Maud Adams.

    This film is the only one with a Bond Girl whose name is used as the title of the film.

    Also Maud Adams played Bond girl in two different films, The Man With the Golden Gun and this film.

    Watch out for poor Q getting seduced by a bunch of females to which he replies, "later perhaps".
