    While I enjoy TMWTGG to an extent, with some good scenes, it lacks one decent action set piece to set it apart. The car chase/ jump lacks oomph! Enjoy all of Moores other Bonds just that little bit more!!

    I agree mate. It was the Bond series at a crossroads. Thankfully Cubby chose the right road with TSWLM.

    Golden Gun is still better than DAF and DAD though...

    EVERYTHINGS better than DAD, mate! 🤪🫣😉

    GG was made too quick, it shows, and it's a pity, because there's definately a fantastic film hiding in there.

    Or is it? The tiny jet flies huge distances with the rocket on its heels judging by the background, but at the end the plane that was to be sabotaged, is gone. Would love to see Bond do a similar job again. Sabotage, proper spying. That sort of thing.

    After the played for laughs PTS, were suddenly at a very grim start with a panicking clown fleeing for his life.
    And back to ms smallbone and 'penny.

    Fascinating how one general can turn the presidium to watch a PowerPoint. And why they talk like that is beyond me. Putin is clearly inspired by Orlov.

    Showing the egg and smoking Kamal out as a cheat. Epic. Gobinda crunching the dice like odd job. And it works.

    Ok, the tennis joke with people looking left and right is as bad as the double taking pigeon. Pity, the film does the gritty parts pretty good. Even with Moore-Bond jokes.

    Interesting how q takes the whole lab with him when going abroad. They sure had money to spend in the early eighties

    Hahaha love the sheeps head and zoom on gobinda. But the dinner was, well, not that interesting. And gobinda didn't want a night cap either. Pity.

    Ah, I got it wrong with the 'tiger hunt', Kamal is indeed about to hunt Bond, he hears in his study that Bond has escaped. He just thought he'd already left the palace. (Discussion in another thread). Neither 'sit' nor Tarzan yell I like. The economy tour remark is very funny though

    A tiger, snake and croc. They're over doing it in the jungle.

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Maud Adams? As to say not attractive, not interesting.

    Why does bond say he's mi6? You have a russian general at gunpoint!

    Glad animals Aren't allowed in circuses anymore. Poor bear, elephant. The circus is entering the American base now.
    And bond doesn't stop a car by standing on the road, he's trying to hitchhike.

    A guard of the palace with a wine bottle - a bit too many tropes. The girls are after Kamal

    It was more fun than I remembered. Pity they were so keen on all those visual jokes.a little bit less and the film would be greatly improved.

    Agree when the tone is more serious Octopussy is a good film, they went too over the top in certain parts of the film with site gags, usually during action set pieces.

    Without the jokes and the convoluted plot, Octopussy wouldn't be Octopussy.
