I honestly didn't notice Moore's age in this film. I thought he was as amazing as he ever was. This is actually one of my favorite and most well remembered Bond flicks!

“Fill ‘er up please!” was the best line in the movie! The entire theater erupted in laughter and applause at that moment when I saw this! So glad it happened that way, well done Roger Moore!!

Roger Moore was my generation's Bond...seeing him up on the screen was like being home. ...SUCH a cool guy. Definitely still dearly missed...

Octopussy was one of my favorite of the Moore Era. I got in trouble for saying the title at school. Great memories!

I always thought Roger Moore was the best Bond as far as one line joke deliveries. He had great comedic timing.

I found this entry in the Bond series to be pretty good and perfect for Moore. I actually find the first two and last two films of his to be his best performances and most exciting overall. As always, another great video, Minty.

I watched this movie recently for the first time. That opening scene is awesome. I also think this movie while silly at times is still a top 5 Bond film. I also feel “License to Kill” is underrated along with Dalton’s performance. .. He’s a real loner, a rebel.

The funniest thing I heard about the making of this film was a quote from roger where he said “ when Louis Jordan and I both couldn’t get out of our seats to film a scene that’s when I knew it was time to stop playing bond” Rip Roger

Honestly this was one of my favorite bond movies. I have probably watched it at least 100 times.

What I love about Moore is no matter what, he never phoned in his Bond performance. Connery was good but he slept walked through a lot of movies.

“All Time High” is one of my favorite bond opening themes.

"No one wanted Moore to leave the role more than Moore, himself" I love homonyms.

The whole thing about Roger Moore's age...I see it differently, I see him as an aging Bond with a lot of experience. M calls in Bond for the near impossible missions because he knows Bond will most likely solve it. He is smart, intelligent, physically fit and has never failed a mission before. So if you watch all the Moore films in succession then yes, he ages, but that's only natural. Bond is allowed to age like a fine wine.

Moore will always be my favorite Bond actor. He brought a unique charm and charismatic screen presense that few actors can ever match. I also admire Connery's Bond, but Moore's take will always be my NUMERO UNO. ;-)

The older I get, the more I appreciate Roger Moore's Bond, and Roger Moore the person.

Lois Chiles playing Dr. Holly Goodhead in 1979: OH MY GOD MY NAME IS RIDICULOUS!!! Maude Adams in 1983: Hold my beer.

Never Say Never Again is actually a retelling of Thunderball so Sean Connery did the same movie twice both are good

Nice one, Minty. Though honestly, I think the reason why they had no trouble convincing Moore to return for the 5th film ("For Your Eyes Only") is because it was a lavish vacation disguised as a 007 movie. Seriously, everything was so ridiculously laid back and chill at the beautiful locations that I think Moore came back for that one because he realized he'd basically be paid for going on a Working Vacation; with not too much work. Frankly, to say it's not one of the better Bond films is putting it very, very mildly.

I heard that Roger Moore and Sean Connery met each other in an airport during filming of their respective Bond films. The talked about what each other were doing.

For Your Eyes Only is my fave 007 film but I dont hate this one and do watch it when I go on a 007 binge

Octopussy is one of my favorites, probably because I have a thing for jewelry smuggling stories. Any guesses what my favorite Bond film is? The other incident that occurred, which you can see from start to finish, is the yo-yo buzz-saw fight. When Bond pulled on the yo-yo's string and dragged the enemy down, the fall actually broke the stuntman's arm. if you look closely at him after that point in the movie, you can see a cast on his arm, which he cleverly keeps out of sight behind him and a scattering of chicken feathers and props/scenery. This was not Maude Adams last outing in a Bond film. She is an extra in "A View to a Kill", making her the only Bond girl to be in three Bond movies, but not the longest running female co-star (That went to Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny). There were a few things here I didn't know, so thanks for the info. Might see f I can find that comic. I know it has a certain art style more reserved for paintings, but it is at least unique.

James Brolin would have been a disaster as James Bond. What was Albert Broccoli thinking?

As for #6 Pre-Title Sequence; famous aerobatic pilot Corky Farnoff really did fly a BD-5J Micro Jet through an airplane hanger for this stunt. It is only for the interior close-up shots that the stage prop jet was suspended by rigging.

That's crazy to know that Superman 3 was being filmed right next door.

I' currently reading "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride" by Cary Elwes. He was a production assistant on Octopussy, and one of his jobs was driving Roger Moore. He was terrified of crashing the car and killing Moore! "I could already see the headlines: 'Lowly Production Assistant Kills Bond!' During one of our early morning drives, Mr Moore actually looked up form his newspaper and said, in that very calm and collected manner of his, 'You can speed up a little if you want to.'"

Excellent as always. I would like to see an episode on Adventures in Babysitting.

I have to say Octopussy is my favourite bond movie of all time its the one ive watched the most, a good review Minty thanks😊👍

Thanks Minty! Roger Moore is the 007 I grew up with and I admit this movie has always been one of my favorites. It's just a lot of fun.

Growing up, Roger Moore was always my favorite Bond. 😍

Saw this one in the theater when I was young and really enjoyed it. Moore was always my favorite Bond growing up

Good one Minty, this is one video where I learned so many things about a film I thought I already knew everything about.

I 've often felt that Moore era of Bond films were often hit or miss. Octopuddy, as I call it to make my wife laugh, was one of the good ones. I always make a point to watch it if I know it s on. Here s a bit of useless trivia Atari was going to release a 2600 game based on Octopuddy, I remember seeing it in the Sears Christmas catalogue for that year, but it was never made as far as I know. Thanks for making and posting this.

Roger Moore will always been that smooth talking gent in our hearts

Love the bond films keep those coming minty thanks for great videos minty

I don't care how old Roger Moore was either, even A View To A Kill (which was better than the next 4 films) when he was about 56 was awesome and he still looked good. Moore is the best Bond in my opinion

One of my TOP3 favorite Bond movies, which I discovered just few months ago. Entertainment level 100!

Roger Moore had great charisma, he was my favourite Bond😊I would rather watch any of the old Bond movies, than the new ones🤔 they are to dark and serious, the old ones was much more fun to watch, I can see them again and again👌

Roger Moore was originally mo favorite Bond. That's most likely because my exposure to Bond films was roger Moore's Live and Let Die. However on watching the first ones with Connery, I have to say it's neck and neck. I like them both equally. Thanks for these wonderful movie trivia videos. They'r awesome.

I think it was one of the best bond movies and love watching this one more than the outhers

Octopussy have the best opening scene. A mini fighter jet escaping from missile is just too cool. One of my favorite Bond film.

Roger Moore..i have always loved his charming potrayal and the more humorous nature of his acting and script for that matter..like in Live & Let Die as when trap among a swarm of crocodiles Bond himself often the human croc manages to outsmart them..loved Octopussy too as that era is where i grew up watching 007.🤗

I think Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only are Rodger Moore's two best Bond movies.

I know it's not well liked as many of the other Bond films but I enjoy this one a lot. It's a guilty pleasure.

Best Roger Moore Bond!!! It also addressed the Coldwar aspect with nukes in Europe. This movie played a part in the awareness of the world we lived in.

Keep doing your thing minty. It always brings me joy to re-live the good times back when I was a kid.

You should try making a few more Bond videos. I am sure you will get a lot of views and probably more subscribers

Back then, if you wanted to know what was in your favorite theater. you either grabbed a local newspaper, drove by and looked at the Marque or called the theater to listen to a recording of what movies were playing. it was "The Latest James Bond Staring Roger Moore." Never the title. at least here in the US.

For the Moore fans, I thought his autobiography "My Word is My Bond" was really good. It goes from WWII when he was growing up poor in London, through his whole film career, and then he gives the most attention to the charity work he did in his later years (Unicef, I think?). You can tell he really cared about it.

Octopussy was actually one of my favorite James Bond movies...

Roger Moore....R.I.P....Gone but never forgotten....

Great video about a very entertaining movie - it is weird and the tone is all over the place - the train/car chase in Germany is top notch!!!

Which should I see, Octopussy or Never say Never Again? I solved that problem easily enough, I saw both.

Terrific video. This Bond movie is so rare and unique. The circus scenes always make me laugh. I’ve come to definitely appreciate it as a guilty pleasure. I’m gonna have to watch it again soon! Thank you for doing this video!

Hey Minty how about doing something on American Ninja . That whole series was absolutely massive back in the day. Love from Ireland mate!

Absolutely love your reviews minty. Always enjoyable. Thanks.

I love Roger Moore, he never took himself seriously and I always enjoy watching his films!!!

I love the goofy Roger Moore era of the Bond franchise. Those movies were just ridiculous and fun.

Roger Moore will always be my number one favorite James Bond. Do "The Spy Who Loved Me" next. Moore's best bond film by far. Do it Minty. Love these pieces.

Another great video! Please do more Bond movie episodes! And Mystery Men!

James Brolin also did "Capricorn One" with OJ.... running from anthropomorphized MD-500 helicopters in the desert...

Please do License To Kill, it’s one of my favourites. I love the dark tone of that movie, it’s great seeing Bond going rogue.

I always thought that Kabir Bedi (Gobinda, Kahn's henchman) would have made a fantastic Ra's al Ghul. Maud Adams also has the distinction of being one of maybe three or four actors to have portrayed two different roles throughout the Bond franchise.

Minty, you always seem to amaze me and make me realize why I like file in the first place. So thank you.

I never minded Roger Moore getting older, never even noticed back then, I still recon For Your Eyes Only is the best bond movie

Great as always....love your stuff. Can u do the movies Dazed and confused and Weekend at Bernies please😁😁😁

this is one of my favorite Bond films. it looked like everyone had fun making it,

This was the first 007 film that I saw in a theater and it is still fun. Few Bond films after it are as exciting and fun.

I know Sean Connery is better all round but Rodger Moore will always be my favourite... his one liners are great

I appreciate Roger Moore even more as time goes on because James Bond movies are just not that fun anymore.

I always learn something new from you Minty. I remember when these two films came out. I was kind of done with the Bond silliness so I went to see the rival film instead. Saw this one much later. I would love to see you tackle some Dario Argento films. Maybe start with the insane film Phenomena from 1984.

I remember this was the first Bond movie I ever went to see, I was eight. The whole family went as one of my best friends, at school's father was a goldsmith and made the fake Fanergé eggs, for the movie. Although they weren't precious metals and gems, they were realistic copies and needed a skilled goldsmith to make.

I always say *Octopussy* in Sean Connery's voice (whether spoken or in my head). *Octopushy*

I heard that Pierce Brosnan was offered Bond when Octopussy was in the planning stages, but he couldn't get out of his Remmington Steele contract.

Good job Minty! Only nit pick was that it was Air Force base, not a Navy base where the bomb was to detonate... still, much love from USA!!!

Could you please do a video on James Brolin's 1977 movie, "The Car"? Thanks in advance. Great video, too.

I'm a big fan of Roger Moore as Bond. octopussy and For your eyes only are my favorite movies of his.

First Bond movie I watched as a kid (on TV). I love how the story is dark and grim, but told in a goofy way. It was one of Moore's finest. And yes, Barbara Carrera was awesome as Fatima Blush.

Furbishay egg? LOL It's said "Fab-re-shay". Classic Bond film with a superb soundtrack.

The tiny jet was a real airplane called a Bede BD-5J. It was capable of some 300 mph (480 kmh) and was popular at airshow venues.

"Octopussy" was the second Bond movie I ever seen and till today is one of my favourites from the series. Great review as always!

Man, I love how you just pulled an old Bond film. These just don't get brought out these days.

Actually when it comes to casting Maud Adams as Octopussy it was actually Rodger Moore's suggestion. He felt that out of all the available women he was going to act with Maud Adams was his favorite. He stated that she is the best Bond girl he ever worked with and felt that she would be perfect for the role of Octopussy.

Roger Moore was the best Bond!

The John Barry score to Octopussy is one of his best, the nude girls credits sequence is my favourite as is the theme song. James Brolin would have been so wrong.

Jeez Minty making me feel old, I still have that Octopussy comic annual in my cupboard. I also have the Corgi horse transporter with mini jet somewhere. Happy memories

Bond: “Veejay, we have company” Veejay: “No problem, this is a company car”

I actually love this Bond film.

I'm not even sure I've even seen Never Say Never Again! I don't even remember what it was about. But Octopussy was a trip, I remember EVERYTHING about that Bond film!

The Moore Bonds were my start my start with the franchise. This movie was my second one. I loved it and still love it. Seems without any preconceptions going into it, I thought the clown disguise worked perfectly. Honestly, with the need a spy has to blend in, it's the most practical disguise EVER seen in all the Bond flicks

Superman wore a wig?!? That's something I truly didn't know.

Roger Moore is the greatest Bond actor, RIP

Hello Minty, love what you're doing. I punctuate my workday with your videos and I really enjoy them. Please, Please PLEASE do a video about THE FACULTY starring Josh Hartnett and Elijah Wood bro! Thanks, because I know you listen your fans and you'll do it soon. Cheers!

I have never seen 'never say never again' so I guess Octopussy won.

Love Roger Moore My Favorite Bond Thank You Minty Amazing as always

Moore's Bond was a little too suave for my tastes. Connery's portrayal showed Bond with a rough edge that I preferred. I liked 'Never Say Never Again's showing an aging Bond at a health spa-with Pat Roach getting splashed in the face with what we think is Bond's urine sample that acts like acid. Doesn't get better than that.

I like Octopussy and Roger Moore James Bond has class, he is not just a killer like Craig Bond.

Switch your brain off and have fun with it. This is a good comment that can be used for most films. I appreciate your reviews, one feels your passion for films. Just subscribed.

I remember at the time that it did seem a bit "out there" at the time for a 007 movie. I grew up with Roger Moore as Bond, so the Sean Connery Bond was strange to me. I was surprised later in life to learn he was the 1st Bond. Great video, and thanks for the in depth trip down memory lane!

Just FYI the pilot of the BEDE-5J in the pre-title scene actually offered to fly the jet through the barn, but the insurance underwriters would not allow it.

The saw yo-yo is freaking awesome!
