Review of Octopussy (1983) by Jc E — 30 Sep 2015
Wonder how much Seiko paid United Artist so that Roger would wear a digital Seiko instead of the classic Rolex."All time high" sung by Rita Coolidge is definitely my favourite James Bond title song I´ve heard so far.
In this penultimate Roger Moore´s service to British Intelligence. Jaws was replaced by a turbaned villian, and laser beam guns were superseded by spinning circular chain saws. The classical ending to the film was none other than the ticking atomic bomb being disarmed with only one second to spare by 007.
Of course Roger Moore found himself in the arms of Octopussy, named after the deadly blue ring octopus, played by Maud Adams while they sailed into the sunset in a huge boat rowed by a bevy of Amazon beauties.
It was rather tasteful to see Roger matched with Maud Adams as the Bond girl for Octopussy instead of someone younger by more than half his age.
