Review of Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by Phil H — 27 Nov 2008
One of the best Bond flicks ever, its cheesey as hell and really cliched but it has some of the best action sequences and characters in Bond history.
The car park chase and up on two wheel driving stunt, the desert chase between dirt bikes and a lunar buggy, the assassinations by the gay assassins Mr Wint and Mr Kidd, Bambi and Thumper kicking Connery's arse, the oil rig battle at the end and a great title song....what more could you ask for?
A real scorcher of a Bond flick for Connery's last outing, it has almost too much action and silly set pieces and being set in Vegas adds to its charm too...somehow.
You also have a great villain in Blofeld who is really odd and creepy but not too scary haha.
Plus some henchmen throw a girl out of a Vegas hotel only for her to land in a pool which they didnt know was there LOL.
