OCTOPUSSY is original and not a remake of the already medicore THUNDERBALL, the Sean Connery flick that was great on the ground but the last act underwater is as slow as being... and fighting, especially... underwater...So there's a remake with an aged Sean Connery back as Bond (yes, he was technically younger than Roger Moore, but didn't look it), and the most intense scene is Bond playing a video game against his opponent. No joke.In this, the second to last Roger Moore Bond, which is a celebration of all things pulpy and an answer to Raiders of the Lost Ark (like Moonraker was to Star Wars), the action never stops, and there are always reasons for, basically, a lot of cool stuff to happen. And keep happening. That's that.

Rewatching through some of the old Bond movies lately as I only liked the old 1s I grew up with connery/Moore and I can always remember as a kid this one was my favourite even though I could mainly only remember the island and that octopus.. rewatching now I can see why I loved it and still my fave so far. So much going on beautiful cinema photography, locations girls and sets. Still that old glamour beautiful costumes and so much fun to go with it in this one, there's never dull moment from finish to end. The stunts in this will have inspired so many movies. Plot after plot LOVE IT.

Super movie, because reflects the vibe and the state of the world during the Cold War. Cheers to all the people involved! They deserve this!
