Octopussy: Balloonless Original Title: James Bond: Octopussy (1983) Faneditor: lapis molari Franchise: James Bond Fanedit Type: FanFix Fanedit Release Date: 13th June 2023 Fanedit Runtime: 125 Synopsis: This Octopussy cuts the worst special effect: gone is the hot-air balloon in the final battle. In a franchise famed for using real effects over special effects, that balloon was an awful stage prop! It cuts over the top bits: e.g. no swinging on a vine like Tarzan. It cuts the worst sexism bits: no ogling the bosom of Q's lab assistant, and no "good with figures" joke about the minor Bond girl.
