There's been a lot of criticism of Moore's' Bond movies, but for God's sake, they were entertaining as hell and make you forget your troubles for 2 hours - as oppossed to being reminded of them with "realism'.
Agree - when I was doing time in Broadmoor, it got pretty depressing but on Sunday afternoons, they had a number of Bond films on VHS and good old Roger Moore was a light in the never-ending dullness interspersed by random violence that characterised life in that hellhole. ⌛
@@WedgePee I was high on drugs, boffed a few police on the head with the back of a shovel, knocking them out, then I stole their police car and drove it the wrong way up a motorway until I crashed into a bridge.

"And that's for 009!". What a great line! This quote shows that MI6 never forgets any of its heroes! Such a satisfying revenge! *** Roger Moore, even at the age of 55: what a charming gentleman-agent! Sean Connery was a great James Bond. Well, Roger Moore was a great James Bond. And maybe even better? His last 5 movies were my big-big favorites: 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985. R.I.P. my hero and amazing actor, the one and only: Roger Moore!!!
And the action goes on for much longer. The tension really builds up for that defuse scene in circus. And for once, it's a somewhat believable set up. There has been so many rich, crazy tycoons that have some bizarre plan for taking the world. This is at least quite down to earth kind of plan.
I’d say this is the best train action scene in all of Bond. Goldeneye would be No.1 but it isn’t really a full chase or fight. There’s so much good action, choreography and stunt work. The bit where Bond drives his car on the tracks whilst Orlov has a mental breakdown in the back of his own car is also a great sequence.
Thanks for the load up Sir Roger Commander Bond.Films always made me smile the spy who loved me his best film.He got a lot of criticism before that after that film the critics left him alone.A great bond great man RIP Roger you'll be sorely missed
@@memoir4you Like in Live and Let Die; Rosie: You wouldn't kill me, not after what we just did. Bond: Well I certainly wouldn't have killed you before.
Roger's delivery is perfect, but how does Bond know that he killed 009? And how does the twin know that Bond killed his brother? After all, Bond hid his body in that cannon on the train... Hell, he may even be still alive by that point... Seriously concussed, but probably not dead. I like Octopussy a lot, but it has some contrivances that stop it from being one of the great ones.
@@FranzSanchez-ky9up most-likely very good intelligence gathering, plus 009 was stabbed in East Berlin (the Octopussy Circus was performing there at that time; throwing knives can be traced, and it was the Cold War under the Brezhnev Doctrine) yet managed to get to the British Ambassador in West Berlin before dying.
I watched this recently actually, love this scene and this film is one of my favourites. I honestly recommend to everyone to watch the Bond films during quarantine as their humour and classic nature just lighten the mood up in times like these
Ikr, watched all 24 Bond films one after the other in quarantine, honestly one of my favourite experiences and especially solidifying this franchise as my all-time favorite. I even found a new favorite Bond movie I hadn't seen before. I mean to some this is just a series of movies but to me and im sure others its also an important part of your childhood and just pure enjoyment and fun. In some ways I find myself so much happier watching clips of these movies than in my daily life, like I don't know the last time I felt this much enjoyment or happiness in real life.
Guinea Pig Everyday Oh yeah I can definitely relate, they were a big part of my childhood, I remember watching them over the summer holidays a lot and just enjoying how ridiculous and entertaining they were. They make you smile and bring a special kind of joy, especially the Moore films.
Really love this stuff. It so smart to keep it without music and rely on first-class sound design. Makes the music more powerful when it comes. Octopussy is Moore's third best Bond movie, and the best one he got with a John Barry score.
I came home from work one Friday night feeling very down . So i watch a certain Bond movie and i laughed throughout the entire movie. This movie was very joyous to watch. I was much happier after 2hrs. It was Octopussy! What a vgood good fun Bond flick!!
@@virgilhilts2552 you haven’t really seen his work have you? Watch Sandokan for starters, he is a fabulous actor. Plus he is taller, stronger and more handsome and imposing than Roger Moore in this movie.
ROGER MOORE IS JAMES BOND OO7 OCTOPUSSY is an amazing Bond-film, it has everything (except for a Bond car)..... It surely is one of the best in the franchise..... And I just love Magda and Octopussy and Sir Roger is just hilarious, it seems that Bond is in his nature..... And I really love the Indian settings, because I'm an Indian..... BOND HITS AN ALL TIME HIGH & NOBODY DOES HIM BETTER
As an Indian i can perfectly understand that feeling even though Timothy is my favorite bond but Roger was an amazing actor, a true gentleman and a wonderful human being. He always welcome constructive criticism (especially when people constantly compare him with connery) and took this series in much needed fresh direction (after two serious bond) with light hearted bond film's & humor.
@@gauravtributes5023 I also love Dalton..... Especially in LICENCE TO KILL, the prototype for the 21st Century Bond..... But, Sir Roger is my first and favorite Bond.....
What I know, at those kind of occasions the West German border guards are ordered to stay static and do nothing, even if they shoot the defector one feet away from the border line. The West guards must never raise their rifle / guns and shoot towards East Germany side. I also read It was to maintain peace between West and East.
This is the frustration with Moore's Bond. He could play a cold and hard 007 with great effect. He did that in the first two films. Then he went too light with only the odd flash of ruthlessness.
@@abhishekpaul000 That's because Octopussy was a better and more enjoyable film than Never Say Never Again which was a pretty uninspiring reworking of Thunderball - and, of course, it was an official Bond film which helps.
The gorilla suit makes perfect sense, he needs to hide, so he takes a suit and hides in it. The clown disguise makes sense too, he is being chased so he puts on clown make up to blend in at the circus. Circuses have ridiculous outfits as a general rule, so he picked the ones that best concealed his identity, he could not pass for Michka on his own, his face was too well known to Gobinda and Khan.
It was the Best of the Roger Moore Bonds. Many say For Your Eyes Only, but that movie is still too silly for my taste. Octopussy has some campy elements too, but it’s by far the most serious of RM Bonds.
I believe it's reversed. Where they had the knife positioned, and yanked it out using a wire. Then reversed the playback so it looks like the knife is flying in, instead of flying off.
To me, the first knife looks pretty good, but the seocnd one when he swings back around to the door looks like a camera cut that I always found a bit jarring.
Though its probably been oversaid- the juxtaposition between the world being on the brink of nuclear holocaust and its depending on a circus train is just brilliant
Yh I think so, either Him or jaws were the henchmen he had the most run ins with, shame about the lack of henchmen in the later bond films until Spectre.

6:30 The ultimate mistake of villains in Bond's films... instead of simply killing Bond, they seek some "sophisticated" way to do that, and they always end up getting killed.
I love that the Soviet General runs so desperately to reach the train, grabbing the ladder only to be cruelly shot by another comrade of the East Bloc in the back. Then on the ground crawling towards the train, that he did all of this just to be a hero of the Soviet Union. It’s almost sadly possible that an egotistical general might do that and its so symbolic of endless dedication/determination to that communist ideal. Its kind of poetic, and really cruelly realistic compared to a lot of Bond films in this time.
When the general said that tomorrow he would be a hero to the Soviet Union, he knew that his government would most likely cover up his criminal involvement and give him a military funeral rather than expose him as a disgraced officer trying to start an invasion.
Funny fact: he says he will be Hero Of Soviet Union tomorrow, while having a Gold Star medal on his uniform - the HOSU decoration. Poor guy forgot he is a hero already.)))
@@mvit8088 yet it would have been his second. Only Marshal Zhukov was the only Soviet citizen to be awarded with the title of Hero of the Soviet Union four times. (People would say Khrushchev had four, but he was only awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union title once; his other three Gold Stars being the slightly-lesser Hero of Socialist Labor.)
Yep! In Skyfall Bond is just on top of the train. But here he‘s inside, outside, underneath and on top of the train! The scene puts Bond everywhere it possibly can put him!
@@davider6884 Rogers stunt man and roger on back-projection really better than Skyfall? Craig drove the digger ran on the train and had fought on top the moving inside the tunnel no stunt man .
This clip is to show all the haters of Roger Moore's character as being too old for the role that he could and did pull it off. I can picture Timothy Dalton in this role, but it was superbly done by Roger Moore. A View to a Kill is a different story. Roger Moore was too old for that one, and Timothy Dalton would've been a better match against the psychopath (played by Christopher Walken).
A View to a Kill suffers from being poorly written with an awfully convoluted plot. It doesn't matter who would have been Bond in that one. In fact it was lucky for Dalton it wasn't his first one for The Living Daylights is a huge improvement. Moore didn't want to act in that one but was lured by a huge pay check because he *was* Bond to a whole generation of people. Tanya Roberts was arguably the worst leading lady of the entire franchise and the important characters are kept in the background for most of the movie. Worst of all they decided to repeat Goldfinger's plan too. He called his plan "Operation Grandslam" while Zorin called his plan "Operation Mainstrike. Both of the plans involves a warhead going off and rendering a precious commodity useless (gold reserve and microchips) and becoming the dominant supplier on the market in the aftermath. Bond being chased by inept police officers? We saw that in Live and Let Die already. Bond meeting the antagonist at his huge manor/mansion on the countryside? We saw that in Moonraker already. Too much time is spent on the whole doped horses too. Why did they have to have a Soviet angle in that one as well? Zorin was born in a nazi concentration camp and as an experiment with steroids. Thanks, all we need to know. This whole "trained by the KGB" and "defected to the west" is just pointless and lessens the impact of the antagonist. Zorin machine-gunning his own workers was a low point of the franchise too. Even Roger Moore said he never liked this scene. Zorin becomes comically rotten rather than a shrewd and calculating man who seems to be one step ahead all the time. " A View to a Kill is a different story. Roger Moore was too old for that one" Really? 2 years older than he was in Octopussy. No, the fact he was dead tired of playing the character, didn't like the script and the movie itself doesn't really gel together.
An area I know really well. Living local I've spent many days on the railway and cycling through Nene Park. The star of many 'European' railway scenes in films.
The way how 007 looks at Grischka (Anthony Meyer) and mentions an epitaph, definitely rivals the time when Locque (Michael Gothard) in For Your Eyes Only. This is cold and brutal as it gets!.
One of my favorite Bond films. Not over-the-top action, a believable plot (not the standard "take-over-the-world" scenário) and a gorgeous Bond girl (Maude Adams) who can actually act.
Live and let love roger Moore best bond if he could come back he would kill the other bonds 😄👍😁♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Rip roger you are missed.
01:05 - 01:25 This scene was censored in Finland. Orlov's last words were simply overwritten with Xs. Why? Because of so-called Finlandisation (the art of bowing to the East without mooning the West)
I know he's only in the beginning of the clip, but one thing I liked about General Gogol was that even though he was an adversary, he wasn't outright villainous. His final scene in For Your Eyes Only, when he salutes a goodbye to Bond after 007 destroys the ATAC is a perfect example.
@@Renaissance861 Okie he’s half English but why you are having pain in your a$$? Seems like too much leftist garbage have been consumed by your tiny brain.
@@Renaissance861 rubbish. He looks like a full Jatt Sikh, as do the rest of his siblings. Look at any of his hundreds of interviews on RUclips with or without makeup or his thousands of pictures without makeup on Google. He looks like many people from my caste. We are Jaats. This face is not Western European in the slightest. It is a classic Indo Aryan face from NW South Asia.
I didn't notice it before, John Barry makes the train sound with the brass section in the first minute... when will we have the complete score of this movie? (sorry for my english)
2.58 appears to be based on Sean Connery's own stunt work in 'The First Great Train Robbery'. Low stone bridges with just enough clearance for a stuntman to fall flat on the train roof.
Moore was just starting to look a bit too old and out of shape to be realistic as 007. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite Roger Moore James Bond movies. Really had it all with a good story, good villains and action sequences.
Good thing this was his last Bond movie then. A View to A Kill? What are you talking about? Oh you mean the song by Duran Duran that was never a movie that existed at all!
I watched the filming of this (the train parts which were filmed at Wansford, UK) back in the early 80s. I have loads of photos of the sets, call sheets, spent blank shells and my father even had the badge from Gen Orlov's merc which I blagged from one of the stack of wrecked ones they had. Sadly he sold his merc with the Bond badge still on it! Not the best Roger Moore era bond film but a personal fav because of the connections I have with it as a kid getting treated really kindly by the crew.
"This is for 009" Moore´s closing phrase is brilliant! He avenged his former colleague.
He did indeed "avenge" him :)
Never understood why bond would risk his life for queen and country for 100k base salary
😘
How did he know for sure which twin killed 009??

Then on the ground crawling towards the train, that he did all of this just to be a hero of the Soviet Union. It’s almost sadly possible that an egotistical general might do that and its so symbolic of endless dedication/determination to that communist ideal. Its kind of poetic, and really cruelly realistic compared to a lot of Bond films in this time.
Wasn’t he trying to stop Bond but the guards put 2+2=5 and thought he was defecting?
@@jonathancooper4914 yeah, he did and that. All for a piece in the glorious Soviet history.
When the general said that tomorrow he would be a hero to the Soviet Union, he knew that his government would most likely cover up his criminal involvement and give him a military funeral rather than expose him as a disgraced officer trying to start an invasion.
Funny fact: he says he will be Hero Of Soviet Union tomorrow, while having a Gold Star medal on his uniform - the HOSU decoration. Poor guy forgot he is a hero already.)))
@@mvit8088 yet it would have been his second. Only Marshal Zhukov was the only Soviet citizen to be awarded with the title of Hero of the Soviet Union four times. (People would say Khrushchev had four, but he was only awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union title once; his other three Gold Stars being the slightly-lesser Hero of Socialist Labor.)
This is better than the train scenes in Skyfall
Yep! In Skyfall Bond is just on top of the train. But here he‘s inside, outside, underneath and on top of the train! The scene puts Bond everywhere it possibly can put him!
@@davider6884 Rogers stunt man and roger on back-projection really better than Skyfall? Craig drove the digger ran on the train and had fought on top the moving inside the tunnel no stunt man .
@@davider6884 yeah even off the train eventually. The only place left was in front of the train!!!
Johnny Masalu Live and let die has that one covered ;)
I think they're equally as brilliant
台主,你們好！當年我在九巴駕這款巴士(烏咀狗)，夜更收工去旺角看此片首輪午夜場，看到同款巴士很有親切感，此電影也具娱樂性，好看。
When Bond in the gorilla costume looks at his watch 😁
1:37 That's the gorilla from Spongebob
OMG. You're right. LMAO
Oh, thought it was the gorilla from Trading Places (since its a film from same era) 😁
Roger Moore is the "Best Bond" ever. Number 1!!
Thanks.
i dont care what people think about octopussy i think its a really good roger moore film
Hahaha this part where Bond hides in that guerrilla suit and the Indian guy tries to kill him always makes me laugh, since I was a kid.
_HaiiiiYAH!!_
Best chase sequence in all of bond movies
This clip is to show all the haters of Roger Moore's character as being too old for the role that he could and did pull it off. I can picture Timothy Dalton in this role, but it was superbly done by Roger Moore. A View to a Kill is a different story. Roger Moore was too old for that one, and Timothy Dalton would've been a better match against the psychopath (played by Christopher Walken).
How Octuppusy would have been with Timothy Dalton in it
A View to a Kill suffers from being poorly written with an awfully convoluted plot. It doesn't matter who would have been Bond in that one. In fact it was lucky for Dalton it wasn't his first one for The Living Daylights is a huge improvement. Moore didn't want to act in that one but was lured by a huge pay check because he *was* Bond to a whole generation of people.
Tanya Roberts was arguably the worst leading lady of the entire franchise and the important characters are kept in the background for most of the movie.
Worst of all they decided to repeat Goldfinger's plan too. He called his plan "Operation Grandslam" while Zorin called his plan "Operation Mainstrike. Both of the plans involves a warhead going off and rendering a precious commodity useless (gold reserve and microchips) and becoming the dominant supplier on the market in the aftermath.
Bond being chased by inept police officers? We saw that in Live and Let Die already.
Bond meeting the antagonist at his huge manor/mansion on the countryside? We saw that in Moonraker already.
Too much time is spent on the whole doped horses too. Why did they have to have a Soviet angle in that one as well? Zorin was born in a nazi concentration camp and as an experiment with steroids. Thanks, all we need to know. This whole "trained by the KGB" and "defected to the west" is just pointless and lessens the impact of the antagonist.
Zorin machine-gunning his own workers was a low point of the franchise too. Even Roger Moore said he never liked this scene. Zorin becomes comically rotten rather than a shrewd and calculating man who seems to be one step ahead all the time.
" A View to a Kill is a different story. Roger Moore was too old for that one" Really? 2 years older than he was in Octopussy. No, the fact he was dead tired of playing the character, didn't like the script and the movie itself doesn't really gel together.
In truth, Moore was too old to play 007 during this period. It's a credit to him that he actually manages to get away with it.
I would have liked to see George Clooney as 007 - suave and cool.
My husband loves all James Bond movies
Kon kon kapil sharma show dekh kar idhar ayela hai😂
The olden bond movies were so much fun to watch with their stunts without graphics ….unlike the current bond films that’s boring as hell …
0:03 look at where it’s filmed it’s the nene valley railway in Cambridgeshire
An area I know really well. Living local I've spent many days on the railway and cycling through Nene Park. The star of many 'European' railway scenes in films.
Yeah
Amazing work this week!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😄😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
The way how 007 looks at Grischka (Anthony Meyer) and mentions an epitaph, definitely rivals the time when Locque (Michael Gothard) in For Your Eyes Only.
This is cold and brutal as it gets!.
Pants down, the best Bond title ever!
Two Indian great actors in Hollywood movies...Kabir Bedi in Octopussy and Amrish Puri in Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom
One of my favorite Bond films. Not over-the-top action, a believable plot (not the standard "take-over-the-world" scenário) and a gorgeous Bond girl (Maude Adams) who can actually act.
I wondered how bond got out of that gorilla suit so fast?!
He wasn’t monkeying around
Magic.
Live and let love roger Moore best bond if he could come back he would kill the other bonds 😄👍😁♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Rip roger you are missed.
Great scene!!! I love this movie!!!!
That train sequence would have been awesome with Dalton's bond!
01:05 - 01:25
This scene was censored in Finland. Orlov's last words were simply overwritten with Xs.
Why? Because of so-called Finlandisation (the art of bowing to the East without mooning the West)
That's what happens when you live next to an *actual* empire.
The knife thrower looks like Gary Oldman :)
Maud Adams was so incredibly beautiful.
she kind of looks like a less angry Melania Trump
@@Crispy_Bee true. Angry cold and overall gross.
I know he's only in the beginning of the clip, but one thing I liked about General Gogol was that even though he was an adversary, he wasn't outright villainous. His final scene in For Your Eyes Only, when he salutes a goodbye to Bond after 007 destroys the ATAC is a perfect example.
Kabeer bedi looks more handsome than roger moor.
Our Sardarji is more handsome than James Bond.
He's half English you desi dhakkan. No misplaced nationalistic ego.
@@Renaissance861 Okie he’s half English but why you are having pain in your a$$? Seems like too much leftist garbage have been consumed by your tiny brain.
@@Renaissance861he looks full Sardar
@@rtry2072 thanks to make-up guy
@@Renaissance861 rubbish. He looks like a full Jatt Sikh, as do the rest of his siblings. Look at any of his hundreds of interviews on RUclips with or without makeup or his thousands of pictures without makeup on Google. He looks like many people from my caste. We are Jaats. This face is not Western European in the slightest. It is a classic Indo Aryan face from NW South Asia.
I didn't notice it before, John Barry makes the train sound with the brass section in the first minute... when will we have the complete score of this movie? (sorry for my english)
just magically got out of the costume without him seeing
2.58 appears to be based on Sean Connery's own stunt work in 'The First Great Train Robbery'. Low stone bridges with just enough clearance for a stuntman to fall flat on the train roof.
Moore was just starting to look a bit too old and out of shape to be realistic as 007. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite Roger Moore James Bond movies. Really had it all with a good story, good villains and action sequences.
Good thing this was his last Bond movie then. A View to A Kill? What are you talking about? Oh you mean the song by Duran Duran that was never a movie that existed at all!
I agree John , Octopussy is entertaining .the casting is spot on.
WHERE exactly does one find an employee like Gobinda? lol
The music at 6:45 is the same strings you hear at the beginning of every Star Wars (right after the crawling text finishes and it gets into the movie)
Very similar
Definitivamente Sir Róger Moore és mi James Bond favorito él mejor és Róger Moore és increíble muy bueno 👍
The critics love to rip this movie but I absolutely love it!❤
Maude Adams very beautiful Bond woman
Twice.
@@markreeter6227 Three times, if you include her very brief cameo in AVTAK!
Obviously , that wasn't Roger Moore in 4:45
Quite weird to see Soviets running around in French helicopters, or Lockheed C-130s like in The Living Daylights.
"Mishka!" quickly followed by "Dafuq?!!"
I watched the filming of this (the train parts which were filmed at Wansford, UK) back in the early 80s. I have loads of photos of the sets, call sheets, spent blank shells and my father even had the badge from Gen Orlov's merc which I blagged from one of the stack of wrecked ones they had. Sadly he sold his merc with the Bond badge still on it! Not the best Roger Moore era bond film but a personal fav because of the connections I have with it as a kid getting treated really kindly by the crew.
No Bgms Only stunts.
Perfection in Screen play
