Octopussy (1983)

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler and Brendan Duffy are joined by Cam Smith from the SpyHards podcast to do a deep dive into the story behind 1983's Octopussy, starring Sir Roger Moore as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007. The episode covers the story of Roger Moore's sixth outing as Bond which came out the same year as Never Say Never Again, Sir Sean Connery's final outing as 007. You'll learn about how the film was developed, how Roger was enticed to return (and the actor who had been hired to replace him), where it was made, how the stunts came together and much more. We also look at the film's legacy from its box office and critical response, to its current standings with with 007 fans around the world.
