Ocean Exotica
The name of Milton Krest's company in Key West, Florida, specialising in the capture and transport of rare marine life. They are also experimenting with growth hormones to produce giant fish to feed the Third World. (LTK)

Octopussy
(Maud Adams)
The daughter of Major Dexter Smythe, Octopussy went with him when he absconded with a cache of gold he was meant to be recovering for MI6. When the gold ran out, they went to Hong Kong where Smythe was employed as a smuggler - his daughter discovered she had a talent for it, and ultimately went into business for herself. She revived the old octopus cult as her organisation, and recruited young women from all over South-East Asia. The organisation became so successful that Octopussy was able to diversify into legitimate businesses, including shipping, hotels, carnivals and circuses. It is through the latter that she is able to perform most of her smuggling operations, in partnership with Kamal Khan, though she is unaware that Khan is also working with General Orlov. Although she knows that Bond is effectively responsible for her father's death, she has no desire to avenge him - by giving him a chance for an 'honourable' suicide rather than a humiliating court-martial and prison term, Octopussy believes that Bond did her father a favour. She even tries to hire Bond into her organisation, though in the end settles for just getting him into bed. When she realises she has been betrayed by Kamal Khan, she leads her female army against him. Although she is captured, Bond rescues her - from a plane in flight! - and takes an extended stay of recuperation with her at the Floating Palace. (OP)

Octopussy's International Circus
The self-named travelling circus through which Octopussy is able to perform her jewellery smuggling. As well as the usual circus acts like elephants, clowns, tigers, trapeze artists, acrobats, dancing bears, strongwomen and a human cannonball, it also has its own private train to transport the whole crew around Europe. (OP)

Oddjob
(Harold Sakata)
Auric Goldfinger's Korean, mute, golf-caddying, ball-crushing, karate-chopping, hat-throwing manservant-cum-bodyguard. As well as providing a wall of solid muscle between Goldfinger and any assailant, Oddjob is a very effective killer; his list of victims includes the Masterson sisters, mafia boss Solo and even one of Goldfinger's own men, who gets second thoughts about being locked in a vault with a nuclear bomb.
Although he seems impervious to anything Bond can throw at him, including gold bars, Oddjob meets his end with the aid of his own hat - when he goes to retrieve it from some metal bars in the Fort Knox gold vault, Bond jams a live cable against them, electrocuting the Korean killer. (GF)

Officer
(Denis Seurat)
The flight engineer on the doomed 747 bringing a Moonraker space shuttle to Britain. (MR)

Office 306
Mr Howe's office at San Francisco City Hall, and also his last resting place. (AVTAK)

The file room for the Department of Conservation in San Francisco's City Hall, where Bond and Stacey Sutton are caught by Zorin and May Day after locating the Main Strike mine. (AVTAK)

Official Secrets Act
A catch-all piece of British government legislation that basically makes it illegal to discuss anything about the workings of government. M quotes it to Bond after revoking his licence to kill. (LTK)

Oh Cult Voodoo Shop
New York shop at 33 East 65th Street, specialising, as the name suggests, in voodoo paraphernalia. The shop's parking garage connects with the San Monique embassy, allowing Kananga and his entourage to leave unseen. (LALD)

Oil Rig
Blofeld's secret base for controlling his laser satellite, off Baja California. The rig is defended by anti-aircraft guns hidden in huts on each corner, and as a last resort has an escape vehicle for Blofeld - his bathosub. It also holds the world's least escape-proof brig. (DAF)

Oldest Trick In The Book, The
Putting pillows under a sheet to make potential assassins think someone is asleep in the bed. Professor Dent is foolish enough to fall for this one. (DN)

Olin Mark VI
Bond's brand of skis in Cortina, which give him away to Locque and his cronies when he tries to hide from them amongst the crowds waiting for the ski-jump - the Olins are much shorter than any of the other skis around him. Bond also makes use of Olins in Siberia, though they turn out not to be bullet-proof. (FYEO, AVTAK)

Oliupatec Meditation Institute
A large private retreat supposedly run by Professor Joe Butcher as the centre for his Cone Power church. In reality, it's where Sanchez processes his drugs, and the nerve centre for their sale, via a fake telethon. The $32 million complex houses a concealed helipad and a massive granulator, where cocaine is broken down and dissolved in gasoline for undetectable transport abroad. The amount of flammable material on the site eventually results in its destruction, when Bond starts a fire that rapidly spreads to the fuel storage tanks. (LTK)

Olympe
(Virginia North)
Draco's secretary, who also makes drinks, plays chess and doubtless performs other services for her boss. (OHMSS)

Olympia Brass Band

Onatopp, Xenia Sergeiva
(Famke Jansenn)
A former Soviet fighter pilot, born in Georgia, who after the collapse of the USSR joined the Janus crime syndicate as an assassin. Xenia only seems able to reach orgasm when she's driving dangerously or busy murdering people, either with excessive amounts of automatic weapons fire or with her ribcage-crushing thighs. She drinks vodka martinis, but unlike Bond prefers them 'straight up, with a twist', plays baccarat and smokes large cigars.
Xenia steals the Tiger helicopter from Monaco and takes it to Severnaya, where she ruthlessly mows down the soldiers and technicians before helping Ouromov steal the Goldeneye key. In St Peterburg, she tries to treat Bond to the same coitus terminus as Admiral Farrel, but Bond gets the upper hand by dropping her on the coals of the sauna they are in and forcing her to take him to meet Janus, after which he doesn't improve her feelings toward him any by knocking her out. The next time they meet it is on Trevelyan's train - Bond promises to kill her immediately after he's taken care of his former friend, but doesn't get the chance. Bond is a patient man, though - in the Cuban jungle, Xenia gets the drop on him (literally) after he crashes his plane, but Bond hooks a rope to her belt and fires the gun on her back at her own hovering helicopter. The pilot panics and tries to get away - dragging Xenia up into the air, where she has the life crushed out of her in poetic justice fashion between the limbs of a large tree. (GE)

Operation Bedlam
Mission that Bond was assigned to prior to his taking a leave of absence. The Prime Minister was concerned about its progress, as after two years, Bond had failed to complete the mission - locating (and apparently killing) Ernst Stavro Blofeld. (OHMSS)

Operation Grand Slam
Goldfinger's plan, funded by the Chinese, to detonate a nuclear bomb in Fort Knox, making the United States' gold reserve radioactive and causing financial collapse - as well as massively increasing the value of his own gold stocks. (GF)

Operation Orchid
Drax's plan to bombard the Earth with globes of nerve gas from his space station, exterminating all human life and clearing the way for the return of a new master race ruled by him. (MR)

Operation Passover
A CIA operation at Circus Circus in Las Vegas, designed to give Tiffany Case the smuggled diamonds without allowing her to escape. Tiffany, however, proves to be more wily than the CIA. (DAF)

Operations Room
The nerve centre aboard the Liparus, housing Stromberg's submarine tracking system - submarine co-ordinates are displayed on a large globe. The ship's captain believes the room, behind its inches of armour plating, to be impregnable - Bond proves otherwise. (TSWLM)

Operation Trove
The MI6 investigation into the forgery of Faberge eggs, which they at first suspect is being orchestrated by the Russians to raise currency for covert operations or pay-offs for spies. 009 was the first agent assigned to the operation, before his murder. (OP)

Operation Undertow
The MI6 operation to locate and recover the ATAC from the wreck of the spy trawler St Georges, and also to discover who ordered the assassination of Sir Timothy Havelock. (FYEO)

OPW 654W
The registration number of Bond's white Lotus Turbo Esprit. The car is destroyed when some of Hector Gonzales's guards ignore its 'burglar protected' warning sticker and smash a window, causing it to blow up. (FYEO)

OPW 678W
The registration of the replacement for the above, now attached to a red Lotus Turbo Esprit which Bond takes to Cortina. Ferrara meets his end in this car, killed by Locque. (FYEO)

Orchidae Negro
The 'black orchid', thought to be extinct until an explorer brought one back from the area of the Taperape river, deep in the Brazilian jungle. The pollen of the flower eventually caused sterility to the ancient civilisation in the region - Drax's scientists improved on sterility, using the pollen to create a genetically engineered nerve agent fatal only to humans, not other animals. (MR)

Order of Lenin
The highest award that the Soviet government gives out to non-Soviet citizens; Bond was cheekily awarded one by General Gogol, for saving the Russian microchip industry - without Silicon Valley, where would they have stolen their chip designs from? (AVTAK)

ORH+
Blood group of Mary Prescott, Strangways' secretary. (DN)

00 Agents
The elite of the British Secret Service, licenced to kill in performance of their duties. The exact number of agents is unclear - Thunderball suggests there are nine.

002
1: The MI6 code number of the late Bill Fairbanks. (TMWTGG)
2: (Glyn Baker) An MI6 agent who makes an extremely poor showing during the SAS/MI6 exercise to test the security of the radar installations on Gibraltar - he is shot by SAS paintballs mere seconds after landing by parachute. (TLD)

003
The agent whose corpse was found by Bond, buried in Siberian ice, after he failed to entirely complete his mission to steal a microchip from the Russians. 003 was apparently married, with one child. (AVTAK)

004
(Frederick Warder)
The MI6 agent murdered by an impostor at Gibraltar, his climbing rope being cut as he tried to scale a cliff as part of a military exercise. (TLD)

006
(Sean Bean)
The codename of Alec Trevelyan, supposedly killed in action in the Soviet Union. His death was actually a ruse - he was really setting himself up as the head of the Janus crime syndicate, in order to get revenge on Britain for the betrayal of his parents. (GE)

008
Agent suggested by M as a possible replacement for Bond if he was unable to maintain his objectivity in the Goldfinger assignment after the death of Jill Masterson (GF). He was later again suggested as a replacement for 007 when Bond had reservations about killing General Pushkin, M planning to recall him from Hong Kong (TLD).

'Orbis Non Sufficit'
The motto on Bond's family crest, meaning 'the world is not enough'. Somehow appropriate for 007. (OHMSS)

Oriental
(Osami Kawawo)

Orient Express
The famed train taken by Bond, Tatiana Romanova and Kerim Bey to escape from Istanbul with the Lektor. (FRWL)

Orlov, General
(Steven Berkoff)
A hardline hawk in the Soviet politbureau, who advocates direct military action against NATO in order to take over West Germany and the rest of Europe. He commands 31 divisions along the East-West border, and is sure that he has enough firepower to wipe out any resistance. When his plans are rejected by the more detente-minded members of the politbureau, including General Gogol, he devises his own plan to weaken NATO by staging a faked 'nuclear accident' that will force American forces from Western Europe, leaving the continent ripe for conquest. His plot, arranged with Kamal Khan, is to replace the cannister of plundered Russian treasure that Octopussy is smuggling into the West with a live nuclear device. Bond uncovers the plot, but is unable to prevent the train setting off, so sets off after it. Orlov pursues him, catching up with the train as it enters West Germany - only to be shot by the East German border guards, who think he is trying to defect. He dies proclaiming to Gogol that while today he might be nothing more than a thief, tomorrow he will be "a hero of the Soviet Union". Luckily, he's wrong. (OP)

O'Rourke
(Bill Ackridge)
A San Francisco crab fisherman, whose livelihood has been wrecked by Zorin's pumping of seawater into his oil pipelines - the crabs have been swept from their breeding grounds and killed by the pumps. (AVTAK)

Osato Chemical & Engineering Co Ltd
The Japanese corporation run by Mr Osato, and also a front organisation for SPECTRE, providing it with chemicals and equipment needed to operate its deadly space missions. Its headquarters are in a large office block in Tokyo. (YOLT)

Osato, Mr
(Teru Shimada)
Head of Osato Chemical & Engineering, and also a member of SPECTRE. After a visit from Bond, in the guise of Mr Fisher, he orders him killed when his desk's x-ray machine reveals his guest to be carrying a Walther PPK. However, because Bond is officially dead, he doesn't realise with whom he is dealing, and Bond escapes the traps set for him by Helga Brandt. Osato's repeated failures to kill 007 result in him being shot by Blofeld. (YOLT)

OS-7247
Registration number of Mr Osato's private helicopter. (YOLT)

O'Toole, Plenty
(Lana Wood)
A Las Vegas good-time girl, who makes a living by latching onto gamblers and persuading them to spend, spend, spend until their money runs out, at which point she dumps them and moves onto the next target. Plenty latches onto Bond at the Whyte House craps table, but before he has the chance to fully introduce her to the comforts his hotel suite a group of Tiffany Case's goons throw her out of a window. Luckily for her there is a swimming pool below. Her luck runs out when she goes to Tiffany's house - Wint and Kidd are waiting, and she ends up in the pool with her feet tied to a concrete block. (DAF)

Our Lady of Smolensk
The church in which Boris Grishenko arranges to meet Natalya Simyonova - in reality, he is setting her up for a trap. (GE)

Ouromov, General Arkady Gregorovitch
(Gottfried John)
When Bond first encounters Ouromov, he is a major at the Arkangel nerve gas plant, seemingly responsible for the cold-blooded killing of 006; nine years later, the general is in charge of the Russian army's Space Division. He is also working for Trevelyan's Janus syndicate, stealing the Goldeneye as part of 006's plan to get revenge on the country that betrayed his family. Ouromov does not seem to be the kind of person who reacts well when things go wrong - he is visible shaken when Mishkin tells him that there was an unexpected survivor from Severnaya, and when Bond is chasing him through St Petersburg in a tank he can't stop swigging from a hip flask! He is also disturbed when he learns that Trevelyan is a Lienz Cossack, the revelation distracting him long enough to allow Bond to gun him down and free Natalya. (GE)

Ouzo
A Greek drink sipped by Bond at Columbo's casino. (FYEO)

Oval Bar
Part of the Whyte House monitored by Willard Whyte's security cameras. (DAF)

Oxyacetylene Torch
A cutting tool used by Mishka to recover the cannister of stolen jewellery from the base of the circus cannon - and also as a weapon against Bond, forcing 007 to retreat and momentarily blinding him. (OP)

Oxygen-Helium Mix
A special combination of gases needed for divers to breath at depths of around 580 feet. For some reason, it didn't make Bond and Melina Havelock's voices go all squeaky! (FYEO)

Oysters
Supposed aphrodisiac that Bond decides he won't need after realising that Kissy Suzuki wants to sleep alone. (YOLT)

Oysters Andalus (?)
One of the courses in the meal Wint and Kidd bring to Bond and Tiffany in their liner suite. (DAF)

O57429
The registration number of the plane in which Bond is left to die by Helga Brandt after she bails out. Bond survives, though the plane is not so lucky. (YOLT)

O594AEA
The registration of the car in which Ouromov tries to flee St Petersburg, along with the captured Natalya. Pursued by Bond in a tank, the car displays astonishing powers of regeneration, losing most of a front wing when it drives down a narrow alley and then magically recovering it a few seconds later! (GE)
