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.

    It's very emotional. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union's internal and external troubles, and the threat of blitz warfare against Western Europe suddenly increased. Forsyth's "Devil's Choice", "Fourth Secret Protocol", and the background of this 007 were all assumptions about the sudden convulsions of the Soviet Union.

    In 1983, the 13th Roger Moore's third Bond, Bond girl: Maud Adams. It is not the first time that Maud Adams has appeared in a Bond movie. In 74 years of "The Man with the Golden Gun", she played the role of the girlfriend of the Golden Gunner. The name of this episode is rather domineering, but as soon as Octopus Girl appeared, she was at the level of an ordinary Bond girl and was used by the villain. I found out that Roger Moore's 007 is so anxious.
