The Making of Octopussy
Posted on April 14, 2015 by admin
Octopussy is the lucky thirteen James Bond film that came out in 1983. In 1982, before production began, it did not appear to be so lucky due to news that Sean Connery was going to be starring in NNever Say Never Again.
In the fall of 1981, George MacDonald Fraser began working on the Octopussy script in Los Angeles. The filmed was based on Ian Fleming’s short stories Octopussy and The Property of a Lady. Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson would also eventually contribute to the script. The script, like many others, used bits and parts of Fleming’s work, but was by in large totally original. John Glen would once again be the director for this Bond film.
For locations, it was decided to go to India for the first time in Bond history. After scouting locations in India, the producers decided upon the city of Udaipur. Almost all of the main filming locations were with a short driving distance of Udaipur. While scouting locations in India, Peter Lamont was on a plane that was hijacked and ended with the death of the hijacker. Once the main location was decided upon, it was time to pick the cast...
... Filming began on August 10, 1982, with filming at the Berlin Wall, where Bond goes through Checkpoint Charlie. The following week shooting began at Pinewood Studios with Bonds entrance into Miss Moneypenny’s office. For the first time in series history, Miss Moneypenney was given an assistant.
RAF Northolt was used for the pre credit sequence involving the BD-5 Micro, better known as the Bede Jet. Corkey Fornof was the pilot for this sequence. Models and creativity were used to complete the sequence where the jet flies into and then out of as the hangar blows up. ... A miniature was used for when the hangar was blown up. Meanwhile the ending flight sequence was filmed in the United States. After the hangar sequence was done, filming was moved to work on the train sequence. This sequence was done in England, on the Nene Valley Railway, near Peterborough.
In mid September, filming returned to Pinewood. On September 22, the 1st unit had moved to India and began filming the taxi sequence. There were issues with the large numbers of people that showed up. Filming in India was an issue for Roger Moore, because of the heat and the constant wardrobe changes. Places filmed in India included the Monsoon Palace, the Lake Palace, Jag Mandir and Shiv Niwas Palace. The second unit remained in England filming the train sequence using stunt doubles. During this filming, stuntman Martin Grace suffered severe injuries when he hit a concrete post while hanging on to the train. He would make a full recovery, but stuntman Paul Weston (Anm.: ebenfalls Stuntman bei RAIDERS und RETURN OF THE JEDI) was brought in to replace him. At the beginning of October, the hunt sequence at Kamal’s palace was filled. During some of the filming in India, snakes had to be used. The crews had several issues with the snakes including them wanting to keep getting out of their baskets. ...
December began with the filming of Octopussy’s palace and by mid December the Indian bazaar sequence was filmed at Pinewood. January saw production wrapped up. The film premiered on June 6, 1983 at London’s Odeon Leicester Square. ...
