Betreff: Re: Octopussy vs. ToD
Beim Googlen bin ich auf das hier gestoßen - Interessante Aspekt, wie sich beide Filmreihen in ihrer Entwicklung gegenseitig befruchten:
http://3brothersfilm.com/...ussy-1983/
Octopussy’s action highlight is Khan’s hunt of Bond through the Indian jungle. It’s absurdly spectacular—Khan rides an elephant in his pursuit of Bond, who has to escape snakes and tigers as well as Khan and his men—but also chilling. There’s echoes of The Most Dangerous Game in Khan’s zeal to hunt Bond for sport. The scene is also like something out of an Indiana Jones film, throwing Bond into a situation where he’s in way over his head and having him come out alive through the miraculous intervention of well-meaning strangers. Its similarity to the Indiana Jones films is all the more remarkable considering Octopussy was made one year before Indiana Jones himself went to India in Temple of Doom. (Can we then consider Octopussy one of Temple of Doom’s greatest influences?)
This Indiana Jones feel continues into the final section of the film, where Bond races after and then aboard a train in order to catch and defuse Orlov’s bomb. Raiders of the Lost Ark perfected the action film as one long chase sequence, and Octopussy learns from its approach by stringing together this series of action scenes for the final 30 minutes of the film.
