Drake disapproves of Roger Moore’s clown suit in Octopussy (1983), but approves of his white tuxedo
Jim Fanning (Douglas Wilmer) is surprised at James Bond’s (Roger Moore) unexpected bid of £425,000 for a Faberge egg at auction in Octopussy (1983)
Hilarious reaction!
The Roger Moore silhouette projected on a woman’s back in the title sequence of Octopussy (1983)
Iconic! So much so that they used it in the opening title sequence!
Well, there you have it. The character James Bond does, in fact, officially “know” the James Bond theme. 🙂
This short sequence from Octopussy (1983) is a good one, not only because Bond (Roger Moore) meets his cool India contact Vijay (Vijay Armitraj), but also because of the way they agree to identify each other. Obviously, when Bond meets a contact in a foreign country, they need to agree upon something to indicate the other that they are in fact who they say they are. Whether it be a handshake or a secret password – it really doesn’t matter. It just has to be something agreed upon during earlier communications.

“Property of a Lady” is the name of the Fabergé egg in Octopussy (1983). It is also the third short story by Ian Fleming incorporated into the collection of short stories Octopussy and The Living Daylights. Moreover, it was also the working title for a rumored 1991 James Bond film starring Timothy Dalton, that eventually stalled indefinitely. Brosnan of course took over as 007 after that.
The Wikipedia page for the eggs is a great one to get lost in. 🙂
