...course, Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) is no ordinary narcotics trafficker. He presides over an illicit empire every bit as opulent as Blofeld's or Auric Goldfinger's. He's also equally sadistic; he doesn't bat an eyelash as he feeds Bond's CIA friend, Felix Leiter (David Hedison), to his pet great white shark...

...Bond films made celebrities of his enemies (Oddjob, Rosa Klebb, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Jaws), so they incited schoolboy giggles with the names of his women. Pussy Galore and Octopussy! Kissy Suzuki and Plenty O'Toole! Mary Goodnight and Holly Goodhead! They were as indispensable and interchangeable as 007's other accessories, the Walther PPK and the Aston Martin. Pussy Galore might be a judo expert who could toss Bond like a crepe, but he would merely toss back a wolfish double entendre: "We must have a few fast falls together some time." In its Connery years, Bond comprised equal parts...

...only recently met this exiled Afghan prince, Bond knew the type all too well. On twelve, no, 13 previous assignments for Her Majesty's Cinema Service, he had clenched his wits against some of the modern world's most notorious dastards.

Everyone knows that James Bond is invincible. The world's vilest villains-Goldfinger, Dr. No, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Hugo Drax, Rosa Klebb, Scaramanga and the 7-ft. truncheon known only as Jaws-rarely so much as wrinkled the crease in Bond's Savile Row trousers. Next summer, though, the pride of Her Majesty's Secret Service will have some worthy competition: himself. In a schizophrenically satisfying conflict, the 14th and 15th episodes of the most popular series in movie history will be set for a showdown of two big stars. One film, Octopussy, stars Roger Moore, assaying...

...current caper revives SPECTRE, the Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, which Bond supposedly felled years ago, along with its malevolent leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. SPECTRE is determined this time around to gain control of outer space. Its machinations include a wave of hijackings for huge ransoms and the manufacture of ice cream spiked with a mind-bending drug. Bond and the luscious daughter of an old colleague man age to penetrate the organization's 150-sq.-mi. Texas ranch headquarters, only to face death at the hands of killer ants, man-eating pythons and other unfriendlies...
