YMMV: Octopussy
  • Complete Monsters: General Orlov and Kamal Khan are completely okay with "accidentally" detonating a nuclear warhead at an American Air Base, knowing very well it'll kill thousands of innocent people, because it'll make NATO push for nuclear disarmament, thereby leaving Western Europe vulnerable to Soviet invasion.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Goes without saying in a Bond movie.
    • "All Time High" by Rita Coolidge is a classic song that holds its own.
  • Narm: Bond dressing up as a clown and crocodile.
    • During Kamal Khan's literal manhunt, Bond swings through the trees, complete with Tarzan yell.
  • Narm Charm: The infamous scene where Bond is dressed as a clown is actually quite tense and suspenseful, what with nobody taking him seriously while he's desperately trying to warn the generals of the nuclear bomb that's about to go off. "Let me go, damnit! There's a bomb in there!" What really seals the deal is that we actually see the bomb's counter hit 0, as Bond disarms it at literally the last split-second.
  • So Bad, It's Good: Has its moments of this.
  • What an Idiot: Orlov smashes the real Fabergé egg. Yikes.
