Octopussy

For people who check facts
Octopussy is the 13th James Bond movie made by Eon Productions, starring Roger Moore as James Bond, Maud Adams as Octopussy and Louis Jourdan as Kamal. The movie is set in England, India and Germany and is notable for the excessive use of puns in some scenes.

Movie critics were also now beginning to comment on Roger Moore's age - by Octopussy, he was now 54 years old, and many felt he was too old to play James Bond. He would, of course return once again in 1985's A View to a Kill.

Warning: Plot details follow.

The movie involves Kamal who tries to use a nuclear bomb at an American military base by using a traveling circus to smuggle in the bomb.

Trivia

The title comes from an Ian Fleming short story in which Bond interferes in private matters having nothing to do with British Intelligence.

This is the second Bond movie to feature Maud Adams. The producers were reluctant to feature her again because her character was previously killed in The Man with the Golden Gun.
