Short documentary of the aerial footage of the fight atop the Beechcraft C-45 'Twin Beech' (twin-engine) Beech 18 airplane for the finale of the James Bond movie "Octopussy".
Practical Effects
Real planes, real fights, real lunacy at 10,000 feet.
Direction
John Glen narrates his own barely-controlled chaos.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Twin Beech' was a 1940s military trainer; finding airworthy models in the '80s required begging collectors.
This 5-minute doc exists because MGM knew the stunt was marketing gold—pre-internet 'viral' content, literally on a plane.
