Yeah?
Is that the one where Jaws falls in love with some little woman?
That one is the best Bond movie of all time?
38. Parrots love a peck from prime ministers.
39. The ally isn't always the ally and the villain isn't always the villain.
40. If you had to get to the top of a mountain, it's usually easier to go up the path rather than doing a vertical climb.
41. Roger Moore does have a badass side to him.
42. Sometimes it's easier to film underwater scenes by editing the water in.
43. If working for MI6, always have a talking parrot with you.
44. Rogering does not include tapping teenage booty.
Yep, that's the one.
That comedy film? I'll at least take FYEO over MR, thanks.
I can do that! :)
FYEO is the best Moore bond film, easily!
Thank you.
And look it even says so on the film's IMDB page. On the cast list Moore is officially listed as Ian Fleming's James Bond
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082398/?ref_=nv_sr_1
45. If one chooses not to tap said teenage booty, one buys icecream instead.
46. If one is about to assassinate archeologists secretly working for the ministry of defense, it's always best to kill the parrot too. Or buy more pistachos to bribe the animal
48) Bond-3 Hockey Thugs-0
49) The Q-Branch staff can go from testing out all their gadgets and going full speed ahead in their work to completely empty and ready to closeup in 60 seconds flat.
50) Bond will ask random people if they know any Greek smugglers.
51) Bond will refuse sex with a 22 year old girl as the age difference is just not right but will happily snog and go skinny dipping with a 23 year old girl at the end of the film. That one year makes all the difference.
He did show that Bond had taste, not in the cheapish variety but the long legged exotic variety. FYEO proved that the ladies from France have something extra that has gone down very well in the Franchise. ;)
Ah very true. Maybe it wasn't so much a matter of age as it was Bibi not floating Bond's boat so to speak.
I'd noticed that and assumed that the machine took longer to work than we were shown.
I know the age of the actor was different than the implied age of the character. I was just having some fun. ;)
Although objectively I'll list CR, OHMSS, and FRWL as my favorite Bond films, in terms of pure sentiment nothing trumps Octopussy. It, more than any other film, made me a Bond fan. It's also one of the biggest reasons I started this thread. So gentlemen and ladies, forgive me, but I'm going to indulge myself a bit with this one.
James Bond's All Time High in,
Things We've Learned from…..Octopussy
1) Nobody does him better…13 times!
2) Cuban soldiers pay very little attention to their commander's faces.
3) Bond went to the Batman school of fitting large vehicles/gadgets into small areas.
4) A frightened clown being chased by a couple of knife-weilding effeminate twins with perms makes for a more thrilling scene that it sounds.
5) Moneypenny thought it wouldn't hurt her chances with Bond to hire a young and gorgeous assistant secretary with a suggestive name.
6) Young and pretty=More flowers
7) Either M got bald and beety-eyed during his time on leave or a new M being assigned gets about as much attention as a new cashier at Burger King.
8) Louise Jordan might be as cool as they come but is about as convincing an Afghan Prince as Bond was a Japanese fisherman.
9) Bond knows a "charming tune" when he hears one.
10) Rajasthanian hotel maids will actually unpack and hangup your clothes without even asking you.
11) Like a true playboy, Bond will put up a 500,000 pound Faberge egg as security to cover a 200,000 rupee bet. For all you currency buffs out there that would equal 6,731 pounds in 1983.
12) The guests at Rajasthanian casinos don't find anything suspicious over the fact the Kamal Khan rolls a double 6 each and every time he needs it…
13) …and they're even stupid enough to believe Kamal when he tells them that "it's all in the wrist"…
14) …and even after Bond uses Kamal's "lucky dice" to roll a double 6 they are still unable to put 2 and 2 together. I wish they people at Atlantic City casinos were this dumb.
15) Gobinda felt the need to outdo Oddjob by crushing loaded dice into dust.
16) 200,000 ruppess buys an awful lot of curry.
17) Bond cannot tell the difference between his trusty Walther PPK and a Walther P9.
18) In his old age Q was having trouble "keeping it up".
19) At the age of 10 I immediately assumed Magda wanted more champagne when she asked for a "refilling". Ah the innocence of youth.
20) Bond will casually offer torture suggestions to his captures over dinner.
21) Temple of Doom has some explaining to do.
22) In addition to super suaveness Kamal Khan has microscopic vision and easily spot a tiny receiver inside a pile of rubble.
23) Bond will put an exclamation mark on pretending to be the living undead by adding a ghoulish laugh.
24) Part of Vijay's job description as a contact is to dry off, rub down, and massage 00 agents.
25) Andrea Anders must have survived Scaramanga's bullet, inherited his fortune, and opened up her own circus/smuggling ring.
26) Major Smyth had a strange taste in pet names for his children.
27) Octopussy thought she could leave Bond unattended on an island populated exclusively by beautiful women for an entire week and he wouldn't get into any trouble. Poor naive woman.
28) Bond will pull the old "kiss her until she likes it" technique out of retirement for old time's sake.
29) M makes a lousy motivational speaker.
30) German youths are jerks to hitchhikers.
31) German motorists will aggressively offer hitchhikers sausages.
32) Bond dressed as a clown trying to defuse a nuclear bomb with no one believing him is a much more tense and effective scene than haters give it credit for.
33) Kamal Khan can't say "Octopussy" without sounding hilarious.
34) When going to apprehend a villain at his palace stronghold be sure to travel there in a Union Jack hot-air balloon so they all know that the British Secret Service is on their way.
35) When facing a villain guarded by a few dozen armed guards Bond will bring along his elderly Quartermaster to help even the odds.
36) Said Quartermaster is a pimp.
37) When overwhelmed by multiple armed henchmen Bond will pull a Denise the Menace and slide down the banister to grant himself tactical advantage.
38) Gobinda will walk onto the wing of a plane at mid-flight at Kamal's request. Now that's Oddjob level loyalty.
39) Crippling injuries mean absolutely nothing to Bond.
40) On his best day, Kevin McClory couldn't make a film half this entertaining.
42) Bond has been to the Barbara Woodhouse school of animal training.
43) That joke went way above the head of non-British audiences.
Not a bit of it. I love that gag!
