    Our villain Kamal Khan! The suave Louis Jourdan! Cast, apparently because Dana Broccoli loved the way he spoke!

    Kaber Bedi as the henchman Gobinda! The only other role I saw him in was a thriller with Michael Caine called 'Ashanti'

    Why would Vijay be playing the Bond theme?,Daft
    I remember seeing James Brolin do this scene for his audition as Bond!

    The taxi chase could only be pulled off by Rogers Bond! Silly as it is, it's good fun! The switch to studio at one point is glaringly obvious!

    Even though the crowd were told it was fake money that Bond throws, they still descended on it like it was!!

    Q scene!
    Not a great one, and Bonds behavior with the camera!? 🙈

    Alan Hume was DoP, he worked on some of the 'Carry On' movies, and I think some of the 'Confessions' films! He does better work here!

    "That's my little Octopussy!"
    How DID they get away with that title? 🫣

    Octopussys boat. With all of the lady rowers! It had an engine to help. This isn't Ben Hur!!!
    Apparently it's horror queen Ingrid Pitt shouting the "In..Out!"

    Steven Berkoff looks great in his Russian outfit. He turned up to audition in a full Samurai outfit! Mad as a brush!!

    The manhunt in the jungle. Michael Wilson said they based it on 'The Most Dangerous Game' and it could have been a highlight, but the cheap laughs don't lend it much credence
    I do like the line "No, madam I'm with the economy tour!" Mickey G cameo!

    Maud Adams is indeed beautiful!
    She knew Roger well, hence their strong chemistry

    I think originally Octopussy was the actual main villain! And I believe even Blofeld featured in early drafts? (Though Blofeld probably was an idea in most early Bond movie drafts!!)

    This fight scene is well choreographed
    But it's a bit athletic for our creaky Rog!

    The guy with the saw broke his arm in practice. You can see the arm cast clearly!
