fishing rod um no, it was a bad line, and it's a fake ass tattoo

I think the best „line“ in the movie is the dramatic score when 009 bumps into Mishka/Grishka... can’t think of any other scene in the entire franchise which shakes up viewers in such a way. Can you?

@@mp1314 the twin brothers with throwing knives?

Edward McClucksky yes the twin brothers. I also like the „second“ scene when the remaining twin brother tries to kill Bond in the forest - such a brilliant combination of the camera view from behind (seeing Mishka pulling his knife right after he drops from the train top) and the music. But still can’t keep up with the darkness and tenseness of the scene with 009

Gotta love that moment!

Well maybe later…

@@codymckibben classic

I love Q’s reaction. He said “no no, no time for that now. Later, perhaps.” Old Q has a horny side himself it would seem.

Dare I say, his Q-Rating rose quickly?

Nicely said Lena I agree with you!

One of Roger Moore´s best 007 moments!

Cold brutal perfect kill that scene should have featured in the 007 legends game that whole train scene

I'm with you, it's a brilliant film. LOVE it and it jacks me off how lazily many review it as a jokey silly film and take the clown disguise out of context. I'm now running my new channel The New James Bond Show With Krazy Kajeevie but at my former channel The James Bond Show With Krazy Kajeevie I gave Octopussy a very favourable review. I'll be re-reveiwing all the Bond films one by one (again) on my new current channel 😁 Krazy Kajeevie 😁🍸

You make some very good points and it`s good to hear from others who like this brilliant film as much as I do!

@@SJHUE I have a ranking video on my channel and if you want the spoiler⬇️ Octopussy is my number 1 ;)

@@davider6884 Oh, nice one thanks I`ll have a look!

Octopussy is great because it’s so stupid. The cartoony evil villains were good comedy.

maaltma, I agree

Just re watched it. Top 10 bond film and a tie in my opinion with TSWLM for best Moore film. One hell of a villain. A good plot with some of the one best liners. Also Moore has some great fights in this movie. Honestly the Tarzan sceen and zooming in on the girls boobs are the 2 real big sins of the movie.

I GOTTA TAKE A SHIT

@@cinephile9885 U SMELL LYK SHIT

@@dereklewis4321 🙄

It's not my favourite but I love it too. :)

❤ octopuses, very underated James bond movies,, got on dvd

It was a great flick. Too bad Roger didn't call it quits on this very high note.

My fav is Licence to kill.

Agree. Its Rogers best bond film after TSWLM

I agree. It would have been a good swan song for Moore. An enjoyable film adventure.

Ya this would have been a good swan song. And then maybe in that world T Dalt got to do 3 Bond Films.

He will be Bond to me. AND Timothy Dalton wasn't bad either...

w41duvernay they all added something to the character.

Rest in Peace, Sir Sean Connery

❤ Roger Moore as James bond

Particularly when the payoff comes a little while later: "Here -- Rupees!!"

Tom Baker - Doctor Who: Robot

All time high. You actually think Bond might settle down with her. That supports the argument that it should have been Moore's last film.

gan9e Good to hear man! Glad you enjoy the series!

For me it's: 3) The Spy Who Loved Me 2) Octopussy 1) For Your Eyes Only

I wish they hadn't put the silliness in Octopussy because it would be considered one of the best Bond films of all time.

I love the Most Dangerous Game part in India. The movie has so many good moments. And the bad guys are top notch.

Andy Rooney alluded to the same crowd experience in movies in one of his stints on 60 Minutes... but the Tarzan yell was a bit over the top, even for Moore's era. But that’s a good point about Tarzan hype at the time.

I still don’t get it.

Yeah we need a captain

@@JORDAN-ul9vs Cheap; discounted. As if he saved money by taking part of the trip on foot, and only riding the boat for some of it.

it a is a perfect match

@@midnightplays2864 Not

Can't believe they even contemplated it.

An American playing Bond would be weird. And I say that as an American myself. Adam West supposedly turned down the role because he felt Bond should always be played by a Brit.

Michael Singer so did Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood. They would have been bizzare in the part

The face Moore makes with it makes it even more priceless. He's just a hilarious guy, I can imagine it must be a blast to be around him on the set!

@@DutchBondFan By the way, it wasn't an ABANDONED gas station - or nobody would have been there.

And everyone knows jets burn kerosene, not gasoline, and aviation kerosene at that.

That line was going to be cut from the film, but director John Glen was at a cinema and the trailer for Octopussy was shown with the line. The audience laughed, so he decided to put the line back into the final cut.

I'm bothered by the signage being in English

Thanks Jesper! One of the best comments I have gotten. Appreciated bro, happy you enjoy!

Greg Flip, Is he the dad of Josh Brolin?

@@cinephile9885 Yes it is

I never noticed before but he does have an odd resemblance to Sean Connery.

Richard Curtis And it gets so much hate.. shame.. It indeed has everything a fantastic Bond film needs! Death-defying stunts, dangerous henchmen, solid villain, great girl, amazing and realistic plot, humor, fantastic cinematography and exotic locations! I mean what could all these people possibly dislike Octopussy for all the time! It‘s an ALL-TIME HIGH to the franchise and also my favourite!

I couldn't agree more ..... I don't know what's to dislike about this movie, glad I'm not the only one.

Agree.. Octopussy has grown on me over the years and its one of my favourites now

Plus at the circus, when the car wouldn't start for them briefly. You could see a sigh of relief when it finally started

A view to kill was a not goodJames bond movie , however, I still like better than one 1990s James bond movies

Amazing! Must have been so cool to be alive during the time of the battle of the Bonds! Of course you might not have been old enough to be aware of that or to really know who Sean Connery was, but still though, you were there! ;)

Yeah, I remember seeing this film in a theater in Sugarland, Texas, which is long since gone-- in fact I think my daughter's softball field she played on is basically where the old theater used to be, strangely enough... I was only 12 at the time when I saw Octopussy there (and my daughter's about the same age now...) I don't remember much about the "battle of the Bonds". I know we saw both films, but I don't remember where or when we saw "NSNA"... I vaguely remember there being "some" talk on TV about the fact that there were going to be competing Bond films, but not a lot of details about the McClory/Broccoli thing... I know for awhile we were thinking "hmmm-- wonder if there's going to be TWO franchises cranking out Bond films every other year-- that could be interesting (but probably lead to "Bond burnout" fairly quickly) but of course that never happened, because basically NSNA was a mediocre remake of Thunderball, with NONE of the "60's cool factor" of the original T-ball. So McClory's Bond ended up being a "one shot wonder" and flopped and was soon forgotten as a weird "divergence" from the established Bond... It was cool at the time because basically every year there was a big blockbuster franchise film-- one year it would be "Bond" and the following year it would be a "Star Trek" film... that was kinda nice because you could count on ONE really great blockbuster film per year of one or the other... Course some were better than others, but in the pre-VCR and pre-internet and early video-game days, it was a much bigger deal than now... that schedule held for awhile which was nice-- completely by coincidence I'm sure but nice... by the time it ended, everybody had a VCR and tape rental places were on every corner it seemed and you could pretty much watch whatever you wanted whenever you wanted to go rent it (or watch the copy of it you recorded off TV or bootlegged by dubbing the rented tape with a second VCR) and then tape prices came down a few years later and you could just BUY the thing and have a better quality picture and sound anyway, so basically by then it didn't matter about the schedule anyway... What was that clip of the two guys playing Roger Moore and Sean Connery in the rest home-- where was that from?? Very funny and quite true-- Moore was 3 years older than Connery and Connery looked ridiculously old in NSNA... and Moore's age was showing by this point as well, though he was still believable. Connery somehow looked older and not as believable in NSNA, probably because of it being a remake of T-ball from '65... At any rate, it must have been great for them both-- people waving bushel baskets of money at them trying to outdo each other... despite their age and the fact that they were getting too old for the parts... but I'm genuinely surprised that they brought Roger Moore back for "AVTAK"... he was DEFINITELY looking too geriatric for Bond in that one... Later! OL J R :)

Looking forward to those myself!

I can and I will! They just take a lot of freetime to produce everytime. But Im having way to much fun making these! Its a rewarding expierence too, with all these people enjoying these!

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoy them!

Great! Looks like you've catched up to all of the stuff! Looking forward to working on the next episode myself!

I have to confess that I am looking forward anxiously to the review for "A View to a Kill" more so. I know that I stand with the small minority of Bond fans that dare to admit that they actually like that fun film, and it is paradoxically for me to say it too since I take both my Bond and my films very seriously, but I have to be truthful and admit that I somehow do like the final Moore film. I am anxious to see what will be said and how it will be treated within the hands of the mighty Bond reviewer, the DutchBondFan!

There's no shame in admitting to like a Bond film! I like some betters than others too, like any other Bond fan. Regardless of how I feel about the film, my goal with every episode is to simply share my opinion, inform and entertain people. I think it's great to have fans who see my new episode in their subscribtion box and actually get excited to sit down and enjoy themselves for half an hour, even if a film they like is not liked by me :) - Thanks for the compliments by the way! I'll start working on the AVTAK script soon!

Really enjoyed this film. It definitely deserved to win the competition of 1983. Forget Never say never again! It's just a basic remake of Thunderball but no where near better than it. Never say never again was no where near in good condition for competing with "Octopussy". And believe me DutchBondFan, any movie that has the word "Pussy" as a title, you know you're going to have a good time. (Sigh) I suppose I'm not getting any older either. lol. ^_^

Bassie & Adriaan

Very well said! Completely agree! (Welcome aboard by the way! Hope to see you around more often!) Feel free to message me on my Facebook fanpage if you ever want to have some chats on Bond! ~ DBF

Thank you very much for your offer and your enthusiasm for my thoughts upon this series, DutchBondFan! I feel a sense of sincere flattery that the one himself whom has been creating these comprehensive and intelligent reviews that I have been enjoying has invited me on-board. I shall certainly have to look for your fanpage the next time that I am logged onto Facebook and sign up. I do admit I enjoy discussion about the Bond franchise and about film in-general. Thank you!

Yes, Roger Moore was a true gentleman. All of the Bond "girls/women" with whom he worked were very generous with their praise of him a person and co-worker when he died. Most had also said good things about him prior. That isn't the case with Connery who often comes across as bored or "not caring" in his films, plus has been accused of being arrogant by "the help".

Kelley Sauer Connery only looked bored in YOLT

And you many thanks for watching! It keeps me going! Moore is far from being my favorite Bond, but I do really like him the majority of his movies!

Why is it hated on? I dont understand. It's a fantastic film. Karl Kahn is one of the best villains.

​@@dereklewis4321 It gets the hate because of Roger Moores age but in this film he's in top form. In A view to a kill, he should have given the role to Timothy.

Wadsy But without considering Roger Moore‘s age, A View to a kill is actually a pretty good film too! Fantastic villains, great locations, great music and a decent plot

He was my hero growing up. He was so smooth, he was so cool under pressure, always has a good line ready, got all these exciting missions and beautiful women....

Gerry Mulligan i thought it was a good movie to and one Roger Moore’s best. It should have been Roger Moore’s last movie as Bond. Although there is some silly moments it does have some good action scenes and suspenseful moments as well.

My second favourite theme from the eighties. Duran Duran at no. 1.

"Octopussy" is soooooooooo much better than "Never Say never again"! *** "And this now, for my brother!" "And this is for 009"!!!

Electone_Guy Yes, Octopussy is definitely better than Never Say Never Again.

Electone_Guy absolutely

Octopussy was a very underrated James bond movies , maybe the last fun James bond movies without the fancy guns

There's someone in one of the Craig films who is in her fifties. In Spectre I think.
