The exploding pieces of the hangar were only four inches in length.Our Saturday movie essayist Rick McGinnis is out this week, so we hope you'll forgive my brief return to guest-hosting.

For the explosion after the mini jet escapes, however, a miniature of the hangar was constructed and filmed up close. The second unit was able to add enough obstacles, including people and objects inside the hangar, to hide the car and the pole, and make it look as though Sir Roger Moore was flying inside the base. Filming inside the hangar was achieved by attaching the aircraft to an old Jaguar with a steel pole, driving with the roof removed. They'd just whip it up in a computer lab.' Having collapsible wings, the plane was shown hidden in a horse trailer. 'Corkey' Fornof, who piloted the aircraft at more than one hundred fifty miles (two hundred forty-one kilometers) per hour, has said, 'Today, few directors would consider such a stunt. Hollywood stunt pilot, and aerial coordinator, J.W.

The pre-title sequence has a scene where Bond flies a nimble homebuilt Bede BD-5J aircraft through an open hangar. Make her Bond's love interest, and the leading Bond Girl, and he had his story. Sanchez suggested that the woman lead be made not such an evil villain, but the daughter of the man in the story, Major Dexter Smythe, allowed by Bond to commit suicide, rather than be captured, and that her father's pet name for her was Octopussy, tying in to the Octopussy title nicely. He had to link the two stories together, make the result longer, and squeeze it for all it had. That story was too short for a movie, and he could not justify calling this movie 'Octopussy' if the concept for the movie was not remotely close to the short story. He explained that the Ian Fleming story was a short story of gold embezzlement and murder by a government man that James Bond cornered. Wilson approved, and then asked Sanchez how to resolve a hitch, a small problem in the story, and a big problem in the screenplay.

Sanchez gave Wilson a concept that eventually made its way to the movie: a female villain with a female criminal organization, running a circus as a front with a train. He was careful not to reveal copyrighted material, so to help him, a concept was needed, that would beat anything, with which the opposing movie studio could come up. Wilson related his concern that it could be the end of the James Bond film franchise, pointing out that Sir Sean Connery was returning as James Bond in other movie not made by EON Productions. Writer Ramon Sanchez spoke to producer Michael G.
