It seemed totally clear to me. It's weird, sometimes you have no idea what someone said and another person hears things perfectly. Then once your learn what they actually said it becomes very clear and you wonder how you got confused in the first place.
Really? That's a cool fact that I never knew. What is brake dust if I may ask?
It's mainly iron based. It comes off from the brake pad due to friction with the rotor. Some pads give off more dust.
It could also be road tar. When I used to live in England my parent's car used to get this grimy black stuff on the alloy rims all the time and I had a time washing it off. I saw it on cars in Switzerland & Germany as well. It's not so prevalent in North America because I hardly see it on the same cars here. May have something to do with the road surface material they use there, or it's just more brake dust release - not sure.
So a combo of the two. The GE Aston is just clean (they made sure it was squeaky clean in the movie too).
Sounded like "And yet you say Strangways didn't think their defense could be coming from there"
It does look like the line has been changed, and Connery dubbed himself. Watch his lips, all out of synch.
That makes sense. Thanks!
I didn't ask for one, I just wanted to emphasize the intentionally funny PTS of DAF.
That was a question for the producers to ask, maybe.
Lisl was supposed to get Bond to talk. The old "pillow talk" trick. Didn't work out that way, although not for the lack of trying.
Probably not. But it would be amazing if they decided to include it as a special feature on the SPECTRE Bluray/DVD, perhaps with Sam Mendes explaining how the deletion of that scene enabled Mr. White's return.
Ah, yes, that makes more sense to me now- thanks, @Gerard!

Orlov had the genuine jewellery, stolen from the Russians with forgeries in their place. Using Kamal's partnership with Octopussy and her circus, Kamal will substitute the jewellery cache inside the circus canon for an Atomic bomb supplied by Orlov.
The resulting explosion will in theory open up the West for Orlov to invade.
During the post credits scene we see OO9 escape with the fake Faberge egg. Which ends up in London in M's hands. OO9 had been working on operation trove. The operation that M gives to Bond following the death of OO9. Orlov orders Kamal to buy the egg at auction, but during the Sotheby's auction Bond swaps the fake egg for the real egg. Q puts the bug in the real egg, then Kamal steals the real egg from Bond as the egg he bought at Sotheby's is the fake.
Orlov does not know the egg Kamal has is fake, he thinks Kamal bought the real egg, and that Bond had the fake egg, so when he smashes it, thinking it is the fake that Bond had as an accomplice of the circus thief, it is actually the real egg with the bug inside.
It's a brilliant piece of work on the part of the writers. Some find it hard to follow, and granted it is slightly complicated. But the auction where Bond purposely bumps the price up, causing Kamal to pay way over the value for the egg is great. Followed shortly after using the same egg as collateral during the back gammon game. It tells Kamal that Bond is not only on to him. But that Bond switched the eggs at the auction. When Kamal finds the bug in the smashed egg he knows that he's smashed a half million dollar egg.
Hope that clears it up.
Always happy to help with Octopussy themed questions. One of the underrated gems of the Bond series.
Now that it's been mentioned, I'm thinking a blu-ray rewatch of it is in order tonight...one of my favorites!
Orlov had no intention of giving Kamal the jewelry though, right? Didn't he switch the train cars so that the locomotive had the bomb and have the jewels offloaded into his car? (The one that Bond later steals).
If it was a Roger Moore movie, they would play "Whip It!" with Devo during that scene.
