I honestly didn't notice Moore's age in this film. I thought he was as amazing as he ever was. This is actually one of my favorite and most well remembered Bond flicks!
“Fill ‘er up please!” was the best line in the movie! The entire theater erupted in laughter and applause at that moment when I saw this! So glad it happened that way, well done Roger Moore!!
Moor was the Bond I grew up with too. He was my fave Bond, but his movies were so schlock LOL. It was him, Connery, Brosnan, Craig, Dalton, Lazenby. At least for me. For the longest time, Connery was my fave because...well, Connery.
@@BigDaddyJinx ...Yes- Roger Moore's Bond movies definitely had some whimsical subplots, and a lot of "goofy" moments....a bit TOO MANY "goofy" moments, I think, in my opinion... However, I wasn't even in my teens when I first saw Moore's Bond movies- And my silly, immature mindset definitely allowed me to ENJOY most of those "goofy" moments, instead of slap my forehead and say, "WHAT the hell is THIS?" Another thing that helped me to look past the silliness is the fact that my dad would always chuckle and laugh when that stuff happened. And me, being his son, whatever HE would laugh at, I would laugh at.
My personal favorite bond is timothy dalton i like the moore realistic morbid cold blooded agent as bond is in the books.:D and my personal favorite bond movie is license to kill from 1989 same year i was born In The awsome 1980s
I found this entry in the Bond series to be pretty good and perfect for Moore. I actually find the first two and last two films of his to be his best performances and most exciting overall. As always, another great video, Minty.
I watched this movie recently for the first time. That opening scene is awesome. I also think this movie while silly at times is still a top 5 Bond film. I also feel “License to Kill” is underrated along with Dalton’s performance. .. He’s a real loner, a rebel.
The funniest thing I heard about the making of this film was a quote from roger where he said “ when Louis Jordan and I both couldn’t get out of our seats to film a scene that’s when I knew it was time to stop playing bond” Rip Roger
Athos74oR3M I totally agree. I’m 43 years young. Roger was my generation’s bond. In fact the first bond I saw on the big screen was For Your Eyes Only and it blew me away. Even now so many years on it still holds up as a decent bond movie dramatically.
The whole thing about Roger Moore's age...I see it differently, I see him as an aging Bond with a lot of experience. M calls in Bond for the near impossible missions because he knows Bond will most likely solve it. He is smart, intelligent, physically fit and has never failed a mission before. So if you watch all the Moore films in succession then yes, he ages, but that's only natural. Bond is allowed to age like a fine wine.
It's also an unofficial James Bond movie because it doesn't have the theme music it doesn't have the gunshot opening sequence and the actor that played Q is also not in the movie
@@johnathanpatterson2847 I believe the title Never Say Never Again was a playful jibe at Sean Connery after Connery said he'd never play Bond again after Diamonds Are Forever
Never Say Never Again is actually a really cool Bond film unofficially or not because the fact that it has Kim Basinger as the Bond girl character Domino and the fact that the character of Felix leiter is played by Rowan Atkinson I believe that's how you say his name he was actually the guy that played mr. Bean
@@johnathanpatterson2847 Kim is good but Claudine Auger in the original is stunning and chic Kim played it differently but was also good but Claudine is Domino to me although I never knew Rowan's character was meant to be Felix Leiter, I thought he was more of a Q type character
Moore will always be my favorite Bond actor. He brought a unique charm and charismatic screen presense that few actors can ever match. I also admire Connery's Bond, but Moore's take will always be my NUMERO UNO. ;-)
My fave is Brosnan, although that may be because I watched Remington Steele when I was a kid so I already was used to him playing that type of character.
Mr Smyth i love the name its very similar to my name ever since A view to a kill i loved this name so as soon as the internet came about i used it but i had to change it slightly to singin smiley, we think alike, i raise my glass to you🍸
Nice one, Minty. Though honestly, I think the reason why they had no trouble convincing Moore to return for the 5th film ("For Your Eyes Only") is because it was a lavish vacation disguised as a 007 movie. Seriously, everything was so ridiculously laid back and chill at the beautiful locations that I think Moore came back for that one because he realized he'd basically be paid for going on a Working Vacation; with not too much work. Frankly, to say it's not one of the better Bond films is putting it very, very mildly.
I heard that Roger Moore and Sean Connery met each other in an airport during filming of their respective Bond films. The talked about what each other were doing.
Apparently they meet up twice during filming of both films one on location and again in London Sean said they should not get involved with the rivalry the press was making
Roger talks of sitting in the Pinewood Canteen watching Christopher Reeve walk through in full Superman costume leaving swooning females in his wake. When he did the same thing the next day dressed as Clark Kent no one paid any attention. @@TokyoJoe703
It was a bluff, and a joke. He was trying to get Roger back and he thought pretending to cast an American would force his return. Its all in the DVD documentary.
Octopussy is one of my favorites, probably because I have a thing for jewelry smuggling stories. Any guesses what my favorite Bond film is? The other incident that occurred, which you can see from start to finish, is the yo-yo buzz-saw fight. When Bond pulled on the yo-yo's string and dragged the enemy down, the fall actually broke the stuntman's arm. if you look closely at him after that point in the movie, you can see a cast on his arm, which he cleverly keeps out of sight behind him and a scattering of chicken feathers and props/scenery. This was not Maude Adams last outing in a Bond film. She is an extra in "A View to a Kill", making her the only Bond girl to be in three Bond movies, but not the longest running female co-star (That went to Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny). There were a few things here I didn't know, so thanks for the info. Might see f I can find that comic. I know it has a certain art style more reserved for paintings, but it is at least unique.
Terrific video. This Bond movie is so rare and unique. The circus scenes always make me laugh. I’ve come to definitely appreciate it as a guilty pleasure. I’m gonna have to watch it again soon! Thank you for doing this video!
As for #6 Pre-Title Sequence; famous aerobatic pilot Corky Farnoff really did fly a BD-5J Micro Jet through an airplane hanger for this stunt. It is only for the interior close-up shots that the stage prop jet was suspended by rigging.
I' currently reading "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride" by Cary Elwes. He was a production assistant on Octopussy, and one of his jobs was driving Roger Moore. He was terrified of crashing the car and killing Moore! "I could already see the headlines: 'Lowly Production Assistant Kills Bond!' During one of our early morning drives, Mr Moore actually looked up form his newspaper and said, in that very calm and collected manner of his, 'You can speed up a little if you want to.'"
Roger Moore was originally mo favorite Bond. That's most likely because my exposure to Bond films was roger Moore's Live and Let Die. However on watching the first ones with Connery, I have to say it's neck and neck. I like them both equally. Thanks for these wonderful movie trivia videos. They'r awesome.
I 've often felt that Moore era of Bond films were often hit or miss. Octopuddy, as I call it to make my wife laugh, was one of the good ones. I always make a point to watch it if I know it s on. Here s a bit of useless trivia Atari was going to release a 2600 game based on Octopuddy, I remember seeing it in the Sears Christmas catalogue for that year, but it was never made as far as I know. Thanks for making and posting this.
Roger Moore..i have always loved his charming potrayal and the more humorous nature of his acting and script for that matter..like in Live & Let Die as when trap among a swarm of crocodiles Bond himself often the human croc manages to outsmart them..loved Octopussy too as that era is where i grew up watching 007.🤗
Roger Moore had great charisma, he was my favourite Bond😊I would rather watch any of the old Bond movies, than the new ones🤔 they are to dark and serious, the old ones was much more fun to watch, I can see them again and again👌
I don't care how old Roger Moore was either, even A View To A Kill (which was better than the next 4 films) when he was about 56 was awesome and he still looked good. Moore is the best Bond in my opinion
Roger Moore will always be my number one favorite James Bond. Do "The Spy Who Loved Me" next. Moore's best bond film by far. Do it Minty. Love these pieces.
Back then, if you wanted to know what was in your favorite theater. you either grabbed a local newspaper, drove by and looked at the Marque or called the theater to listen to a recording of what movies were playing. it was "The Latest James Bond Staring Roger Moore." Never the title. at least here in the US.
Agreed. I have to admit I still haven’t seen Spectre all the way through. I get bored and stop about 25 minutes in, which is sad because I was the biggest Daniel Craig proponent after Casino Royale.
@@ontologicallysteve7765 Yes, Daniel Craig just goes around with that "who farted?" expression and gets in brutal fight scenes. He's totally missing that sense of joy.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
@@parisgreen4600 OMG! Much as I like Daniel as Bond, can't disagree with your "Who farted"? comment! Dang, I'll never be able to unsee that! *dies laughing*
I always learn something new from you Minty. I remember when these two films came out. I was kind of done with the Bond silliness so I went to see the rival film instead. Saw this one much later. I would love to see you tackle some Dario Argento films. Maybe start with the insane film Phenomena from 1984.
For the Moore fans, I thought his autobiography "My Word is My Bond" was really good. It goes from WWII when he was growing up poor in London, through his whole film career, and then he gives the most attention to the charity work he did in his later years (Unicef, I think?). You can tell he really cared about it.
I always thought that Kabir Bedi (Gobinda, Kahn's henchman) would have made a fantastic Ra's al Ghul. Maud Adams also has the distinction of being one of maybe three or four actors to have portrayed two different roles throughout the Bond franchise.
Best Roger Moore Bond!!! It also addressed the Coldwar aspect with nukes in Europe. This movie played a part in the awareness of the world we lived in.
I remember this was the first Bond movie I ever went to see, I was eight. The whole family went as one of my best friends, at school's father was a goldsmith and made the fake Fanergé eggs, for the movie. Although they weren't precious metals and gems, they were realistic copies and needed a skilled goldsmith to make.
Cubby Broccoli had Bros in mind to replace Moore after meeting him on the set of For Your Eyes Only, where Pierce's wife played Countess Lisl. I don't know if he approached him at that stage. I know Mel Gibson was. But he turned it down. As he did every time he was asked, up to GoldenEye.
He was almost out as Remminton Steele was struggling but when speculation came out that he would be Bond interest in the show spiked and he was forced to stay on
Pierce was offered to play Bond after A View To A Kill for the movie The Living Daylights. The contract was signed and early promotional shots where taken with Brosnan holding the gun etc...but then ABC extended Remington Steele for another 5 episodes of the last season and Pierce couldn't get out of the show, and Cubby said "no"...so Brosnan was out and Timothy Dalton was in.
Hello Minty, love what you're doing. I punctuate my workday with your videos and I really enjoy them. Please, Please PLEASE do a video about THE FACULTY starring Josh Hartnett and Elijah Wood bro! Thanks, because I know you listen your fans and you'll do it soon. Cheers!
Yes and so was Christopher Reeve as Superman of the main sure I have the comic as it's colour in it which really wanna see you. Charming actors ..Legacy lives on…
I'm not even sure I've even seen Never Say Never Again! I don't even remember what it was about. But Octopussy was a trip, I remember EVERYTHING about that Bond film!
BEFORE I start watching your video, I would like to say just one thing: "That's my little octopussy." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yea, I admit it, I turn into a 15 year old whenever I watch that scene.😁😬😉🤣
The John Barry score to Octopussy is one of his best, the nude girls credits sequence is my favourite as is the theme song. James Brolin would have been so wrong.
Thank you Minty again for a great video. Bonus fact: there was a plan to make a 007 film called "Property of a Lady" in 1991 that would have been starred by Timothy Dalton. Could you therefore do a video: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Living Daylights, please?
Jeez Minty making me feel old, I still have that Octopussy comic annual in my cupboard. I also have the Corgi horse transporter with mini jet somewhere. Happy memories
Switch your brain off and have fun with it. This is a good comment that can be used for most films. I appreciate your reviews, one feels your passion for films. Just subscribed.

Some of the best 1 liners in this film.
"You have a nasty habbit of surviving"
"Well you know what they say about the fittest"
No mam, I'm on the economy tour!
Roger Moore was my generation's Bond...seeing him up on the screen was like being home.
...SUCH a cool guy.
Definitely still dearly missed...
Moore looks the most like Sir Ian Flemings novel description of 007...
Moor was the Bond I grew up with too. He was my fave Bond, but his movies were so schlock LOL. It was him, Connery, Brosnan, Craig, Dalton, Lazenby. At least for me. For the longest time, Connery was my fave because...well, Connery.

I always thought Roger Moore was the best Bond as far as one line joke deliveries. He had great comedic timing.
Agreed, he was the wittiest of all Bonds, in addition to being in the most films officially at seven.
Oh yeah he always was my bond and this coming from a scotsman
I was named after moore because of his bond performances..
And no, my name is not moore ;)
.🤔😑.
My personal favorite bond is timothy dalton i like the moore realistic morbid cold blooded agent as bond is in the books.:D and my personal favorite bond movie is license to kill from 1989 same year i was born In The awsome 1980s

He should have left after Octopussy. A View To A Kill was not a good final outing for Moore.
@@reelismproductions The plot alone is extremely well crafted, worthy of a spy caper.
The Spy Who loved me were the first Bond i watched i think. Too bad Bond doesen't have "Earth genocide" villains anymore. Moonraker also had that.
Excellent as always.
I would like to see an episode on Adventures in Babysitting.
Honestly this was one of my favorite bond movies. I have probably watched it at least 100 times.
"No one wanted Moore to leave the role more than Moore, himself" I love homonyms.
The older I get, the more I appreciate Roger Moore's Bond, and Roger Moore the person.
What I love about Moore is no matter what, he never phoned in his Bond performance. Connery was good but he slept walked through a lot of movies.
The whole thing about Roger Moore's age...I see it differently, I see him as an aging Bond with a lot of experience. M calls in Bond for the near impossible missions because he knows Bond will most likely solve it. He is smart, intelligent, physically fit and has never failed a mission before.

I think Moore just got better-looking as he got older. He was one of those that aged well.
Lois Chiles playing Dr. Holly Goodhead in 1979: OH MY GOD MY NAME IS RIDICULOUS!!!
Maude Adams in 1983: Hold my beer.
Thanks Minty! Roger Moore is the 007 I grew up with and I admit this movie has always been one of my favorites. It's just a lot of fun.
Never Say Never Again is actually a retelling of Thunderball so Sean Connery did the same movie twice both are good
It's also an unofficial James Bond movie because it doesn't have the theme music it doesn't have the gunshot opening sequence and the actor that played Q is also not in the movie
@@johnathanpatterson2847 I believe the title Never Say Never Again was a playful jibe at Sean Connery after Connery said he'd never play Bond again after Diamonds Are Forever

Saw this one in the theater when I was young and really enjoyed it. Moore was always my favorite Bond growing up

Tits?
A similar question is crossing my mind this morning
It was a bluff, and a joke. He was trying to get Roger back and he thought pretending to cast an American would force his return. Its all in the DVD documentary.
terrible screentest
“All Time High” is one of my favorite bond opening themes.
Goldfinger is always my favorite. Or Diamonds Are Forever
All Time High is one of the better Bond themes.

Great video about a very entertaining movie - it is weird and the tone is all over the place - the train/car chase in Germany is top notch!!!
Love the bond films keep those coming minty thanks for great videos minty
Another great video! Please do more Bond movie episodes! And Mystery Men!
Yes Minty, that was a great vid......we want more Bonds. we want more Bonds

Most serious of the moore films. Needed after the over the top stories of the two previous ones. For your eyes only is great.
You should try making a few more Bond videos. I am sure you will get a lot of views and probably more subscribers
Yes there r much more bond movies can make a good list.
I for one am still waiting on videos for For Your Eyes Only, A View to a Kill, and The Living Daylights 🎥😎

My favourite Roger Moore Bond film was Live And Let Die. Cant put any of his others above that.
Moon Raker was the best out of Roger Moores James Bond.
@@djmajiktuch82 It was definitely the funniest. Jaws turning good and falling in love😂
Hands down his best. Top 5 in the franchise for me, probably my 3ed most watched film next to Tomorrow Never dies and Quantom of Solace.

You were lucky. I saw James bond on the TV movie marathons. Bond is my hero.

Roger Moore will always be my number one favorite James Bond. Do "The Spy Who Loved Me" next. Moore's best bond film by far. Do it Minty. Love these pieces.
I think Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only are Rodger Moore's two best Bond movies.
Totally agree.
Also "The Spy Who Loved Me".
I think it's Live And Let Die, but A View To A Kill and For Your Eyes Only were good too
I didn't Like octapussy as much as moonraker.
Which should I see, Octopussy or Never say Never Again? I solved that problem easily enough, I saw both.

Furbishay egg? LOL It's said "Fab-re-shay". Classic Bond film with a superb soundtrack.
This was the first 007 film that I saw in a theater and it is still fun.
Few Bond films after it are as exciting and fun.
I'm a big fan of Roger Moore as Bond. octopussy and For your eyes only are my favorite movies of his.
I never minded Roger Moore getting older, never even noticed back then, I still recon For Your Eyes Only is the best bond movie
My personal favorite bond is timothy dalton.:D and license to kill from 1989
James Brolin also did "Capricorn One" with OJ.... running from anthropomorphized MD-500 helicopters in the desert...
I have never seen 'never say never again' so I guess Octopussy won.
Could you please do a video on James Brolin's 1977 movie, "The Car"? Thanks in advance. Great video, too.
For the Moore fans, I thought his autobiography "My Word is My Bond" was really good. It goes from WWII when he was growing up poor in London, through his whole film career, and then he gives the most attention to the charity work he did in his later years (Unicef, I think?). You can tell he really cared about it.
Love Roger Moore My Favorite Bond Thank You Minty Amazing as always
I know Sean Connery is better all round but Rodger Moore will always be my favourite... his one liners are great
My personal favorite bond is timothy dalton.:D and license to kill from 1989
I always thought that Kabir Bedi (Gobinda, Kahn's henchman) would have made a fantastic Ra's al Ghul.
Maud Adams also has the distinction of being one of maybe three or four actors to have portrayed two different roles throughout the Bond franchise.
Best Roger Moore Bond!!! It also addressed the Coldwar aspect with nukes in Europe. This movie played a part in the awareness of the world we lived in.
All Time High is one of the best Bond theme songs!
Roger Moore is the greatest Bond actor, RIP
I love Roger Moore, he never took himself seriously and I always enjoy watching his films!!!
I remember this was the first Bond movie I ever went to see, I was eight. The whole family went as one of my best friends, at school's father was a goldsmith and made the fake Fanergé eggs, for the movie. Although they weren't precious metals and gems, they were realistic copies and needed a skilled goldsmith to make.
The tiny jet was a real airplane called a Bede BD-5J. It was capable of some 300 mph (480 kmh) and was popular at airshow venues.
Ya, people still think that private jet was a miniature prop when Ion bought one and modified it themselves to do much of what you see in the film.
a few pilots died in that model jet because it was unstable and difficult to fly
I actually love this Bond film.
Good job Minty! Only nit pick was
that it was Air Force base, not a Navy base where the bomb was to detonate...
still, much love from USA!!!
I heard that Pierce Brosnan was offered Bond when Octopussy was in the planning stages, but he couldn't get out of his Remmington Steele contract.
Could be.
He was offered the role clear up to The Living Daylights.
Cubby Broccoli had Bros in mind to replace Moore after meeting him on the set of For Your Eyes Only, where Pierce's wife played Countess Lisl. I don't know if he approached him at that stage. I know Mel Gibson was. But he turned it down. As he did every time he was asked, up to GoldenEye.
He was almost out as Remminton Steele was struggling but when speculation came out that he would be Bond interest in the show spiked and he was forced to stay on
Pierce was offered to play Bond after A View To A Kill for the movie The Living Daylights. The contract was signed and early promotional shots where taken with Brosnan holding the gun etc...but then ABC extended Remington Steele for another 5 episodes of the last season and Pierce couldn't get out of the show, and Cubby said "no"...so Brosnan was out and Timothy Dalton was in.
Hello Minty, love what you're doing. I punctuate my workday with your videos and I really enjoy them. Please, Please PLEASE do a video about THE FACULTY starring Josh Hartnett and Elijah Wood bro! Thanks, because I know you listen your fans and you'll do it soon. Cheers!
He already has
@@davidjames579 Oh my bad! Just watched it. Thanks Dave, thanks Minty!
Roger Moore was the Bond I grew up with, and I loved FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and OCTOPUSSY.
I always say *Octopussy* in Sean Connery's voice (whether spoken or in my head).
*Octopushy*
Man, I love how you just pulled an old Bond film. These just don't get brought out these days.
Roger Moore was the best Bond!
Yes and so was Christopher Reeve as Superman of the main sure I have the comic as it's colour in it which really wanna see you. Charming actors ..Legacy lives on…
I'm not even sure I've even seen Never Say Never Again! I don't even remember what it was about. But Octopussy was a trip, I remember EVERYTHING about that Bond film!
Just my opinion, Never Say Never Again was awful! It just had a grim, cheap quality. This one's way better.
Maud Adams was FINE in this!!!
Minty you nailed it once again! Great video!! And hope you survived your explosive main title on this one, woah!! 😂😂
BEFORE I start watching your video, I would like to say just one thing: "That's my little octopussy."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yea, I admit it, I turn into a 15 year old whenever I watch that scene.😁😬😉🤣
The John Barry score to Octopussy is one of his best, the nude girls credits sequence is my favourite as is the theme song. James Brolin would have been so wrong.
Hiya Minty! I've been enjoying your videos and have 2 suggestions for you. Dark City and The Thirteenth Floor. They are 2 of my favorites!
Thank you Minty again for a great video. Bonus fact: there was a plan to make a 007 film called "Property of a Lady" in 1991 that would have been starred by Timothy Dalton. Could you therefore do a video: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Living Daylights, please?
I like Octopussy and Roger Moore James Bond has class, he is not just a killer like Craig Bond.
Bond: “Veejay, we have company”
Veejay: “No problem, this is a company car”
Yeah, and when they showed the clip on the Johnny Carson "Tonight Show," Johnny got Moore laughing when he saw the "camel take!"
Jeez Minty making me feel old, I still have that Octopussy comic annual in my cupboard. I also have the Corgi horse transporter with mini jet somewhere. Happy memories
