      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.

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

    Wonderfully Made
    Octopussy is a very nicely made Moore Bond film with a really nice story and great elements of action.

    The film is about James Bond (Roger Moore) is given an assignment to solve the murder of agent 009 after carrying a fake Fabergé egg. Kahn (Louis Jourdan) gets in an autiom and Bond becomes suspicious as Kahn plans to blow up a nuclear device on an air force base. He ends up going to India, and meets Octopussy (Maud Adams) who runs a circus, but is also a jewel smuggler and a theft. Bond must team up with her in order to retrieve the egg and save the day.

    Octopussy was great. The idea of it taking place at a circus may be silly, but it actually worked with an accurate script and a good story. The action wasn't as mind blowing as some of the other Bond films, but was still worthwhile.

    Acting was great again. Roger Moore did an awesome job as Bond in this one, and Maud Adams was stunning as Octopussy. Louis Jourdan made a decent villan for the film. Not one of my favorites, but still good.

    Overall, Octopussy is classified as a well made James Bond film.
