Octopussy: Balloonless

- Opening sequence: Shifted 009's chase to the beginning.
- Trimmed horse/plane sequence: Cut shot of jeep driving at camera in ditch because it looked too much like the A-Team. Cut shot of plane going under bridge because the landscape looked so obviously USA, while the story implies it isn't.
- Arrival at hotel in India: cut Bond's "asp" line. Not funny.
- Bond sits down at bar: cut line that he's good with figures. Lame joke.
- Trimmed tuk-tuk chase: Cut the crowd looking back and forth like a tennis match. Cut second camel shot. Minimized shots with Moore's too-brown hair color (wow, that distracted me!), which includes cutting bed of nails, sword swallower, fire breather, hot coals.
- Trimmed Q's lab: Cut zooming camera on the lab assistant's breasts. Cropped out monitors showing her breasts in subsequent shot.
- Trimmed the jungle chase: Cut "sit" at tiger. Remove Tarzan yell & swing on vine. Shifted some shots to accommodate the new flow.
- Trimmed East Germany: Several small trims for pacing around and on the train, including cutting the shot of ape-suit Bond checking his watch.
- Trim in West Germany: Cut scene of Bond getting denied a car ride a second time. It happens once, shame on them. It happens twice, shame on you. 007 wouldn't have let the second ride get away!
- Trimmed final fight w acrobats: Cut hot-air balloon because it always bugged me that it's so obviously a prop on a set stage (sorry Q, you're not in this battle). Cut some shots to fit the new pacing. This makes the final fight faster and a bit more serious. Cut wristwatch monitor.
- Inside airplane: Cut shot of Gobinda easily pushing away Octopussy. Let's believe she's still tied up instead of being so easy to overpower.
- Final shot in galley: cut the leg joke. Lame and it ruins the moment.
