Ectopussy - In a Bond Film to forget even more than Never Say Never Again, this 80s Bond film was Timothy Dalton's final outing as bond. Riding on the "ghost" fad of the time, the producers of James Bond films felt that they need to incorporate the supernatural with the normal super power struggles. This film included a sidekick Ectopussy, a voluptuous, if dead, blonde bombshell that was... killed by an actual bombshell in what was believed at the time to be a training accident. The film didn't stand a ghost of a chance in the Box Office with the hack writing (even relative to a Roger Moore Bond Film) and phoned in script that seemed more content with its obvious attempts to desperately grab some of the phantasm fad money than trying to carry the torch for the franchise. Bill Murray and Harold Ramis make cameos which the studio was then sued over as the video was taken without the actors' permission.
Overall, it was a disaster that most involved with the project have tried very hard to forget ever happened.
