Trivia
- The same year as Octopussy's release, a rival Bond film Never Say Never Again was released, starring Sean Connery. Octopussy was the higher grossing of the two.
- Octopussy was the last Bond film to end with a mention of the next film with the lines "James Bond will return in..". In this case it was From a View to a Kill. When released, the "From a" prefix was dropped.
- With Octopussy, Roger Moore had starred in the same number of official EON Productions Bond films as Sean Connery.
- Maud Adams, who played Octopussy, had also played Bond girl Andrea Anders in The Man with the Golden Gun
- The knife throwing twins and the casting of Louis Jourdan, had originally been planned for Moonraker, but didn't materialize.
