OCTOPUSSY | Acrostar Jet

Bond gets out of a scrape in OCTOPUSSY using the nifty Acrostar ”Bede” Jet. For close-ups of Bond manoeuvring the jet through a hangar, special effects supervisor John Richardson mounted a plane on a pole attached to a stripped-down Jaguar. The car was driven through the hangar at breakneck speed, soldiers running in front of the car to hide the chassis.

I love it when he flies through the hangar. The jet sound turns into a diving JU-87 stuka (propeller plane) and he goes from flying at mach 1 to knife edging at 20 mph haha

I forget how good that scene is. It is totally ridiculous but exciting as hell. And that little jet looks awesome as it darts through the air

[robertbilling]

It's so ridiculous that it's brilliant. I love it, and Moore delivers that line so perfectly.

[kodakexpressmorrinsville]

a vehicle that bond uses that actually stays in one peice, Q would be proud

[EthanKnight]

One of the best pre-title sequences. Also the last in which it's a separate mini mission and not connected to the main story.

[Cartoonicus]

The most realistic part of this whole scene is that for once when a plane runs out of fuel in a movie, it doesn't just fall out of the sky.

From a time when Bond movies were entertainment. One can watch and enjoy these movies over and over again.

Bede BD-5J; The model used in the movie had a fuel load of about 26 gallons and could fly about 75-90 minutes at cruise. Later versions (Coors, Budweiser "Silver Bullet") carried up to 32 Gallon tank.

Great scene and Sir Commander Roger Moore a great bond you'll be sorely missed.

this is why i love roger moore. he can be serious when he wants but also finds way to liven things up such as that "fill 'er up". i think after "the spy who loved me", he became more relaxed and comfortable in that role where he was just having fun and i think the films he made afterwards was him just having fun and it made the film sets a lot of fun.

"Look, it's over there where I'm pointing, do you see it??"
"Mate, you're talking to me on the phone..."

[gauravtributes]

Roger always had the best one liners 😅.

[LukeKetchum]

One of the most underrated Bond films to date.

[harshitvasavada]

Kudos to entire team for such hardwork

[peterelmer]

Classic cinematography and the panache of Roger Moore; just great stuff !

[mantabond]

As a boy this was our most favoured of the Bond pursuits: the victory spin at the end remains, even to our mature eyes, pleasing.
