Octopussy poster

Sometimes film titles are funnier than captions

Director John Glen

Stars Roger Moore, Maud Adams, Louis Jourdan, Steven Berkoff

Things You Might Like

  • It’s officially Bond

  • Solid, manipulative villain
  • Strongly choreographed action

Things You Might Not Like

  • Stupid gadgets ruin everything
  • Missing Bernard Lee
  • Slow opening pacing

Octopussy is an intriguing and Harry Palmer-esque Cold War thriller, glossed over with tacky gadgets and a Union Jack hot air balloon.  A good watch, if only to root out the quality.
