** The fact that these women managed to take down an entire fortress full of goons using (Mostly) non-lethal means to take them all down.
** This leads to a great moment once Q lands the balloon; the ladies make such a fuss over helping him out of the basket... apparently Bond isn't the only SexGod at MI-6. Best of all is Q's reaction; instead of being all, "Leave me alone," it's more like, "Let me get out of this thing first!"

** Meta CMOA for Creator/RogerMoore: this scene proves that SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct despite the comedic overtones of his entire 12 years as 007.
* Orlov's first appearance where he announces his vision for invading Western Europe; Creator/StevenBerkoff plays the part of the LargeHam in all its glory.
** Followed up by General Gogol's impressive rejection of Orlov's warmongering, shooting down the mad general's zealous overconfidence.

* Octopussy manages to be an impressively proactive force during the climax. First, she gets the drop on Khan and nearly shoots him after a scathing speech. When Gobinda and two other men interrupt her, she manages to spend nearly a minute keeping them at bay before being overpowered. Finally, throughout the fight on Khan's plane, she's busy chewing at her ropes to get free.

* Mischka gets an understated DyingMomentOfAwesome when he sees Bond's reflection in a piece of jewelry as Bond sneaks up on him. Mischka innocuously turns on a welding torch before spinning around and waving it at Bond's face, momentarily blinding him. As Bond staggers back, Mischka nearly kills him with several throwing knives before Bond pulls a lever that drops a cannon on him. 
* When Gogol and art expert Borchoi confront Orlov's forger Lenkin, Borchoi calmly inspects Lenkin's latest creation for a moment and then contemptuously lets it drop from his hand.

* Bond stealing an Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV as he races to get to the American airbase with the West German authorities hot on his tail. Proving itself to be a true powerhouse in its own right, Bond manages to outrun the authorities long enough to get himself onto the airbase. Even better, unlike so many of his previous rides the car survives the pursuit intact.
