Octopussy - Opening scene - Horse box plane

Bond flies his way out of trouble.

"Toro? Sounds like a load of bull.". Gets me every time. Only Roger could get away with lines like that.

[TheBest-sdqf]

There was magic in these old Bond movies

[koreainsincere]

The way he disdainfully flicks that soldier's pocket flap. Utter genius.

[davidnicholas]

So so sad to believe that he ain't no longer with us...best Bond

[Njbear]

Octopus literally has everything you could ask for in a bond film.

[jaywilson]

Damn, that bit with the plane and the missile was really well made and still exciting to watch. It holds up remarkably well.

[robertwilson]

Can you imagine watching this for the first time in the cinema.the feeling of escaping certain death is sublime.

[rebellio]

The reaction when he urges the guards to look at the lady in the car is just so hilarious

[Animeaddiction]

The jet used in this scene is the Bede BD-5J Acrostar, the world's smallest functional jet aircraft.

Love Octupussy including opening sequence what a film!

[christoph]

the actor playing the real Colonel Toro, who looks remarkably similar in appearance to Roger Moore, is Ken Norris who had been Roger Moore's stunt double many years earlier in "The Saint"

Why is Octopussy one of my most favorite Bond films? It was perfect!

[jeromewagschal]

I miss those days when Bond movies were a treat...

[kevinmalone]

One of the best opening scenes in a James Bond movie.

[silvesurfe]

Well it’s a small world.. you’re a Toro too😂 so smooth

[ThomasWilliams]

3:13 one of Roger Moore's best moments lol. Definitely the funniest Bond.

[sugs]

probably the best opening sequence in a bond movie.

I think this movie was unfairly panned by a lot of critics. Having bond in a clown suit, Tarzan impression and the movie title did not help.

some awful accents by villains and no odd-job/jaws type figure . The main bond woman was dull too.

But I watched it again and the opening sequence was amazing . The movie is also bloody hillarious in the first hour.

Literally this movie had a bit of everything. Underrated movie.

Octopussy is (along with For your eyes only) my two favourite Bonds of them all.

[simongarrettmusic]

The sequence where he flies thru the hangar is still so freaking good.

I’ve enjoyed Daniel Craig’s bond films, but I hope at some point we get back to the more whimsical tone of these earlier films. The lighter, more charismatic style of storytelling that marked the Connery & Moore years would not only make the Bond movies more unique, but I think a more escapist approach would also be more appealing to audiences, too.
