Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Octopussy
When a crazed Russian general threatens nuclear attack on various NATO forces, 007 comes to the rescue. Throw in a great opening sequence of Bond flying a mini jet and the stunning beauty of Maude Adams as Octopussy and you've got a winning film. Followed by the unofficial Bond film, Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery, and then back with Roger Moore in A View To A Kill.
