I watched each Bond film in order again recently, due to being at home during the pandemic

As much as I enjoyed each movie Octopussy just annoyed me. Aside from some casual racism for me its the movie that should have killed the franchise dead with its silliness.

Somewhere in there I believed there was a decent adventure attempting to get out so I created the All Time High cut

Using the blu ray as my source I set about deleting and rejigging the movie to offer a less comedic take without removing the humour so important to Bond completely.

Trims include

“Sounds like a load of Bull” which just never landed for me
Veejay playing the Bond theme is now just a generic tune
References to Vejay being a tennis pro and any swiping of villains with his tennis racket are GONE!
“That should keep you in curries for a few weeks” GONE
This is a company car street chase trimmed mainly removing locals being told to look right look left as if at a tennis match. It wasn’t funny in 1983 either
Bond ogling his co worker’s breasts on camera - removed
Jungle chase re-edited to remove Tarzan, Siiiit! and Hiss Off. It comes across quite tense without these!
Train chase massively re-edited to remove the gorilla suit and to make the hanging off the train the main focus
Slight trims throughout to remove shots or phrases that make MI6’s top agent look like a lusty uncle
