Spin Saw

About Spin Saw

One of Bond's MI6 allies in India was played by Vijay Amritraj, a popular professional tennis player. His character not only shares the same first name with him, but he is also a tennis instructor. He uses a tennis racket as a weapon during the auto rickshaw chase, which is accompanied by the sound of a tennis ball being hit and scenes of onlookers turning their heads left and right as if they are watching a tennis match.

What's interesting

The saw was featured in the movie as a kind of Yo Yo used to assassinate Vijay Amritraj, who was playing an Indian field agent for the British Secret Service and an attempt to kill Bond as he was cannoodling in bed with Octopussy
