On this day in 1983, Roger Moore finished filming on OCTOPUSSY. In this classic scene, Bond gets out of a scrape using the nifty Acrostar “Bede” Jet. For close-ups of Bond flying the jet through a hangar, special effects supervisor John Richardson mounted a plane on a pole attached to a stripped-down Jaguar. The car was driven through the hangar at breakneck speed, soldiers running in front of the car to hide the chassis. | James Bond 007
