"You must be joking! 007 on an island populated exclusively by women? We won't see him till dawn!" - Q, regarding Bon's whereabouts

Why watch this? A very good Bond entry, even with the worst title of the lot.

Plot Summary: James Bond investigates the death of a fellow agent and a mysterious Fabergé egg, leading him to uncover a jewel smuggling operation. This operation is linked to the enigmatic Octopussy and an exiled Afghan prince named Kamal Khan. Bond's investigation eventually reveals a wider plot to detonate a nuclear weapon and destabilize Europe.

Dad's Preview: By the end of Roger Moore's run as 007, the formula was simply getting stale. From 1973 to 1985, the franchise films progressively got sillier and more over-stuffed. In this film there are some moments to enjoy, but man, when it's campy, it's cringe-worthy. Frankly, in this film, Moore is getting a little too old to woo young, attractive models. That said, there are spectacular stunts, lots of cool spy stuff, and Louis Jourdan presents well as a slimy Afghan villain. Maud Adams' sexy performance deserves praise, and she's easy on the eyes, too.
