Octopussy (1983)

Adapted from the Ian Fleming stories Octopussy and The Property of a Lady, this was the 13th Bond movie and it's possibly the most frivolous in the series to date (it's certainly the most careless). The plot meanders all over the place, as Roger Moore follows glamorous smuggler Maud Adams and renegade Soviet general Steven Berkoff across India and Central Europe. All the usual gadgets are on view (although even they aren't quite up to Q's usual standard), but director John Glen (editor and second unit director on several earlier entries) never quite seems in control of either the breathless action or the overly glib dialogue.
