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.

Here are the dorkiest moments of each Bond actor’s career:
Sean Connery tries to pull of the pink tie in Diamonds Are Forever (1971)…and fails. DORK!
George Lazenby’s Scottish get-up in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) screamed “dork.”
Roger Moore’s clown costume in Octopussy (1983) takes the cake…the ultimate dorkiest Bond moment!
Timothy Dalton’s “look” prior to fishing Franz Sanchez out of the sky in Licence To Kill (1989).
Sorry James, but not even Pierce Brosnan in The World Is Not Enough (1999) can pull off purple glasses (even x-ray ones).
Daniel Craig needed a shave and a shower as a hungover mess in Skyfall (2012)
Bianca (Tina Hudson) prepares James Bond (Roger Moore) to imitate Colonel Luis Toro in the opening sequence of Octopussy (1983)
Nope…just an awesome GIF from its opening title sequence! 🙂
“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. 🙂
