This is the 007 movie with the lowest appearance of a Bond girl so far. Maud Adams, who plays the Octopus girl, looks masculine. Not only does he lose a lot of eyeglass lenses, but Bond also seems to be indifferent. "To, there are so few intimacy dramas. It is worth mentioning that this girl has appeared in "Man with the Golden Gun" and is the first Bang girl to score twice. Compared to the Octopus, the female number two is more beautiful. The actor Christina Webern’s eyebrows are somewhat similar to the Bond girl Barbara Betsy in the episode of "Underwater City", both with big eyes and high cheeks. The type of bone and figure top-notch.

Since Bond turned out to be the boss of the Devil in the last episode, the Soviet Union has become the enemy of the British espionage department from this episode. The Soviet general Olof colluded with the Afghan prince and used the opportunity of the Octopus female circus to perform at a US military base in an attempt to detonate a nuclear bomb to start a war. The plot is quite lively, moving around in India and Germany. In India, it is mainly relaxed and humorous. After arriving in Germany, it becomes tense, but there are not many highlights, especially the scene of nuclear bomb dismantling now seems to be an old-fashioned bridge.

Relatively speaking, there are two more thrilling and exciting, and both are related to transportation. One is on the top of the train, and the other is on the top of the plane. Bond and his opponent are engaged in a desperate and dangerous fight. This was a scene that could stimulate the audience's adrenaline in the early 1980s. On the whole, this is the most boring 007 that Roger Moore starred in. It has neither "Space City" or "Underwater City" creative ideas, nor "Man with the Golden Gun" comedy elements, and the plot is also Not as compact and exciting as "Top Secret", coupled with the absence of beautiful women, it is really uninteresting.

Octopussy quotes

  • Orlov: [enters the trailer, sees Bond in Mischka's 'Twin One' clothes from behind and mistakes him for Mischka] Leave that! Let's go.

    James Bond: [turns around, facing Orlov with pointed gun] Let's stay. Sit on that box. Hands on your knees. Come on, move! Now why is that bomb on the train?

    Orlov: Who are you?

    James Bond: I'm British Secret Service.

    Orlov: You should be more concerned about getting out of here alive.

    James Bond: I am more concerned about an atomic bomb exploding on a US Air Force base! You surely can't be inviting a full-scale nuclear war? What happens when the US retaliates?

    Orlov: [grinning] Against whom?

    James Bond: [frowning, realizing Orlov's scheme] My God... of course. Our early-warning system will rule out the possibility of that bomb having been launched from Russia or anywhere else. Everyone will assume incorrectly... that it was a American bomb triggered accidentally.

    Orlov: Well, that would be the most plausible explanation.

    James Bond: Europe will insist on unilateral disarmament, leaving every border undefended for you to walk across at will! And it doesn't matter a damn to you I suppose that thousands of innocent people will be killed in that "accident" of yours?

    Orlov: Better than letting a handful of old men in Moscow bargain away our advantage in disarmament talks!

    James Bond: On your feet, General. You're going to stop that train.

    Orlov: [they hear hoot as the train starts to move off] It's too late.

    James Bond: You can stop it at the border.

    [suddenly the door opens. Bond turns around to see a Russian soldier. Bond kills the soldier before he manages to point his rifle, and meanwhile Orlov escapes]

  • James Bond: [bad guys are chasing Bond and Vijay] Vijay, we've got company!

    Vijay: No problem, this is a company car.

    [car accelerates through crowds]
