Drake disapproves of Roger Moore’s clown suit in Octopussy (1983), but approves of his white tuxedo

Jim Fanning (Douglas Wilmer) is surprised at James Bond’s (Roger Moore) unexpected bid of £425,000 for a Faberge egg at auction in Octopussy (1983)
Hilarious reaction!

The Roger Moore silhouette projected on a woman’s back in the title sequence of Octopussy (1983)
Iconic! So much so that they used it in the opening title sequence!
Well, there you have it. The character James Bond does, in fact, officially “know” the James Bond theme. 🙂
This short sequence from Octopussy (1983) is a good one, not only because Bond (Roger Moore) meets his cool India contact Vijay (Vijay Armitraj), but also because of the way they agree to identify each other. Obviously, when Bond meets a contact in a foreign country, they need to agree upon something to indicate the other that they are in fact who they say they are. Whether it be a handshake or a secret password – it really doesn’t matter. It just has to be something agreed upon during earlier communications.
