Octopussy is "extravagant and funny" (The New York Times), a state-of-the-art, edge-of-your-seat spellbinder. The Bond chemistry of high adventure, luscious femmes fatales, fantasy and wit as dry as a 007 martin is at its potent.
In one of the most spectacular pre-title sequences ever devised, Roger Moore as Bond flies into action, piloting the world's smallest jet (12 inches length) as he is pursued by a heat-seeking missile. 007 must investigate the death of Agent 009. His hunt leads him across Cuba, Germany and India to the secluded palace of the queen of the octopus cult (Maud Adams) - and a plot that could destroy the world. Bond is helped by a live octopus, a mechanical crocodile and female martial artists; he's menaced by big buzz saws, big game hunters and an A-bomb. But he remains unflappable-on the wing of a careening place pr at the foot of an octopus-shaped bed. |
