i saw roger moore huff it on the scene that require run or exercise . he be a james bond who would be most comfortable sitting at a bar tell story with his fellow british knight . nothing against the elderly in age appropriate role and but how realistic be it for a frail look 58 year old man to be fight on the wing of plane and hang off the side of a train and swimming in a swamp with crocodile and etc . aside from the fact that octopussy be incredibly silly and vapid and and moronic and the fact that a frail oldster engage in many death defy stunt just make it so much easy to laugh at james bond . by 1983 roger moore be clearly look his age and and he be long past the time when he look like he could fight with young men . i saw this movie in the theater and and the howl of laughter be many and very often . any credibility that jam bond have build up be go after octopussy . the only thing miss from octopussy be benny hill and his support cast . another low point be that the incredibly lame louis jordan be one half of the axis of evil . jordan help to make the whole concept even more laughable . and the russian general be a total goof . octopussy work well a a comedy spoof similar to spy like u . even the fight scene on the train be just a bad copy of the same train scene do in many other film by good actor . take emperor of the north ( 1972 ) where lee marvin and ernest borgnine fought all over the top and bottom of the train and make it look exciting and real . roger moore have a thin and frail body in 1983 and yet his stunt double be clearly a young and taller and athletic and muscular man . even the hair color do not match . this only make his fight scene more comedic . the moore stunt look like those old low budget chop socky kung fu movie and especially with the bad editing . the director seem to try to make the bad acting and bad stunt well by provide several view of the same stunt . this only accentuate the difference between moore and his stunt double . the fact that the train scene with moore be shoot inside a studio could be notice from the light when moore be in the shot versus the exterior shot of the stunt double on a real train . though many of the bond movie have to be the bad ever when it come to edit their stunt fight . you can usually clearly see that the bond actor be not actually fight . overall octopussy have to rank a one of the bad movie ever make and and easily the bad of the bad bond movie .
