Octopussy (1983)

Octopussy, the 13th James Bond movie is easily the worst so far. The first two thirds were surpassingly dull, the last third however was pretty good. The plot is a little confusing, its actually two plots, one involving the forging of Faberge eggs and the other the smuggling of a nuclear weapon. Exotic locations include wherever that pre-title sequence is supposed to be set (I'm at a loss, maybe Mexico?) both sides of Berlin, Russia, India, and more then the usual amount of time in Britain. Two Swedish born Bond girls here, Kristina Wayborn and Maud Adams, the latter a repeat from The Man with the Golden Gun, but here playing a different character. The very white French star Louis Jourdan plays an exiled Afghani prince. "All Time High" sung by Rita Coolidge may be the best of the lesser known Bond theme songs. **
