Ronald Reagan: I've been asked to state my feelings about a fellow named Bond - James Bond. Well, as I see it, 007 is really a 10... our modern-day version of the great heroes who appeared from time to time throughout history and who put their lives on the line for the cause of good.

Featured review
Very clever Bond clip show
Presented to help promote "Octopussy", this show was different in that instead of just showing clips from previous Bond movies demonstrating Bond's skills, this special has experts in different fields acting like Bond is a real person. For example, Jackie Stewart comments on Bond's driving ability and a clip from "Diamonds are Forever" plays, Arnold Palmer talks about his golfing prowess and we see Bond playing golf in "Goldfinger". Even then-president Ronald Reagan talks about Bond in terms of his intelligence service. One of the more humorous ones was a wildlife expert using the crocodile sequence in "Live and Let Die" to demonstrate Bond's knowledge of animals. A very enjoyable special.
