In the case of Octopussy, having your airways obstructed by an octopus certainly wouldn't help either. Victims of tetrodotoxin poisoning do, in fact, suffocate, but because of the effects on their nerves. It blocks the action of nerves so the victim is completely unable to move, even the muscles that control breathing. They use venom to kill their prey (or any baddies that dare to intrude into their home). Suffocation might seem the obvious cause of death, but in fact Octopussy (Maud Adams) doesn't have just any-old pet cephalopod, she keeps a blue-ringed octopus. In the blockbuster finale fight at Octopussy's palace, Bond (played by Roger Moore) shoves a henchman head-first into a fishtank - the unlucky goon emerging with an octopus wrapped around his face. With that title, it is only fair that at least one character should be killed by an eight-limbed mollusc. ![]()
