Trivia:
James Bond's aliases in the movie were Colonel Luis Toro during the opening sequence; Charles Morton, a Leeds furniture manufacturing representative; and as a clown during the film's finale. Of the three, the first and last involved disguises, the most ever for Roger Moore in a Bond movie. Also, this is the second highest number of aliases used by James Bond in a Bond movie, one less than the record of four held by Diamonds Are Forever (1971).

Goofs:
Continuity: Bond would not have had adequate time and privacy to change into the gorilla suit in the same room as the attackers without them noticing. Likewise, Bond seems to instantly change out of the gorilla suit and back into his red/black outfit in the same room when Gobinda is coming after him.

Bianca: They moved the flight up to this afternoon.
James Bond: Well, we're going to have to go ahead as planned anyway.

James Bond: Toro. Sounds like a load of bull.

Was there ever a James Bond like this one? Oh, there were better Bond stories, no doubt, but I do doubt there were any more entertaining than this one.
In "Octopussy," we get more of an Indiana Jones-type adventure story than the usual spy farce. In fact, there is so much adventure in here it gets tiring, to be frank. It's almost too much....but it is a lot of fun along the way.
The best part of the film isn't the wild adventure, either: it's the humor. This has more laughs in it - stupid and clever - than any Bond film I can recall.
Roger Moore, Maud Adams, Louis Jordan, Kristina Wayborn, Steven Berkoff and Kabir Bedi must have had a lot of fun - and been worn out - making this film. By the way, itt's always interesting to see the intriguing Adams.
This and "Goldfinger" are my two favorites of the Bond series, and I'm glad to see so many others here share that opinion.
