9:09 It is actually explained in a deleted scene Plenty sees Bond and Tiffany getting it on and she’s obviously angry about it. When she was leaving, she snuck into Tiffany’s purse and found her address and decided to go there for revenge. But when she got there, she is greeted by Mr Wint and Mr Kidd who kill her because they thought she was Tiffany So the sin isn’t why Plenty was at Tiffany’s, but for the director cutting this scene out for no reason other than pissing Jeremy off
You didn't sin the fact that James Bond obtained a Playboy Club Membership using his supposedly secret spy name and then carried the card in his wallet when he was undercover AS SOMEONE ELSE
James Bond is Bond's real name. Bond is technically not a spy, he is an intelligence officer. That means most of the time he travels under his true name and has a bogus job at the consulate of whichever country he is travelling to which gives him a diplomatic passport and immunity. That's why he can do stuff like fly with a gun on him and carry said gun as a foreigner in countries. As a "diplomat" he cannot be searched or detained. He is not "secret", he enters overtly and legally and then while in the country he recruits people who already live and work there and gets them to give up confidential information. A guy who works at a military installation and hands over some stolen files to Bond in exchange for his child being accepted into a British university and given a scholarship is a spy. If he gets caught, he spends the rest of his life in prison. If Bond gets caught, he waves his passport and the country which caught him sends the Brits a sternly worded letter demanding he be recalled from his bogus consulate position. In the rare circumstance that he would decide to conceal his entry from the government of a country he is entering (a real life example of that would be when high-ranking Mossad officers were supervising assassinations of Palestinian terrorists hiding from justice in European countries after the Munich massacre, they would enter under false names to conceal their pressence from their local intelligence counterparts), he would travel under a false name and would be carrying credentials only in that name, so that his name is not logged at the border, but in Diamonds are forever he was investigating a criminal organization so he would likely only switch identities just before going for an undercover meet. For all we know, he likely did only carry "Peter Franks" creds to the first meet. The second time he comes in he was in a hurry because he found out the real Peter Franks escaped and could show up any minute, so he did not burn precious time swapping wallets. I mean, he didn't even hang up the phone. Then when his attempt to kill Franks discreetly failed and turned into a very visible fight right in front of Tiffany Case, he improvised the whole wallet swap thing, because it both made him look more like a hardened criminal and conveniently explained the other guy's presence.
@@smolkafilip All of what you say is accurate for an intelligence officer, but neither in the books nor the movies was he ever described performing those functions. He is much more an active field agent, and more often performing a law enforcement role than a an espionage one.
@@odysseusrex5908 Presumably because the only time you hear about the character is when he is taking part in extraordinary events that do not usually happen to intelligence officers. Describing Bond spending 6 months in East Germany working a potential local source only for that guy to chicken out at the last second would make for a shitty novel/movie.
19:58 The bottle of aftershave got broken in the truck of the car and Bond got it on his jacket. He even commented about the smell to the rat in the pipe later on. C'mon, you surely saw that scene.
We love that scene in my household! To the rat in the pipe "Well, one of us smells like a tart's handkerchief.. . I'm afraid it's me. Sorry, old boy." Followed by the line later, "I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way."
@@professorpsoop I had to google the plot to remind me what that movie was about. I watched it in the cinema but I had no recollection of the plot. And after looking it up, by far not as crazy as having people wear your face and setting off nukes with a space laser.
11:23 This is one of the most infamous stuff-ups in Bond films. They had a shot of the car coming out facing the correct way, but there were cop cars in the background. They reshot it, but accidentally had the car facing the wrong way.
They got another company to do the redo, because they had already left, and that company didn't have the car going the right way. Which is hilarious and I love it.
@@petermgruhn No, he didn't. That could've easily been by accident. And no offense, but I don't think you're quite in a position to correct someone's spelling.

I still have a spot for it since a good portion takes place in my home town of Las Vegas. Problem with putting a film in Las Vegas is it dates the film quite badly. Because my city changes so rapidly. Everything in this film is out of date. Though the WHYTE house building is still there (it's obviously not called the whyte house IRL). Even after catching on fire shortly after the MGM caught fire. The slot machines are very out of date. That was the day everything was mechanical and had no electronics. And no, you can't drive down Fremont Street anymore like he does in the movie.
"Why is there a boat parked here, this is a hotel parking lot?" don't you mean "Why is there a boat parked here, Las Vegas is in the middle of a desert?"
As a Las Vegas resident I will say you see all kinds of vehicles parked in casino parking lots. If you have a special vehicle call ahead and casinos will allow you to park it (assuming they have an outdoor lot). Usually you see race cars when people come in to race at the racetracks, or you see RV's a lot, but it wouldn't be unheard of to see a boat. And yes, as mentioned, Lake Mead is nearby, it's our source of water after all.
To be fair, of COURSE moneypenny would be badass and cleared for field work. You'd want the last person before getting to the head of your spy organisation to be a regular secretary?!
You know I never made that connection before but that definitely makes sense. They even highlight that fact in Skyfall and it went totally over my head.
15:13 The real question is 'Why is Bert Saxby even there?' When Blofeld thought he was ordering Saxby to kill Whyte, he was actually speaking to Bond. So Saxby would never have turned up.
Let's not forget. Moneypenny ask for "A diamond. In a ring." The guy just came off a revenge rampage for his wife's death (possibly), and she's insinuating marriage.
This film tried to forget that OHMSS didn’t happen and that Bond has been searching for Blofeld since YOLT. The production team then decided to run with Bonds marriage in the Moore and Dalton films
I hate that too, but I think they were trying to make this film into a sequel to YOLT, since most of the general audience hated OHMSS for whatever reason. 😕
I'm sure it's been covered somewhere below, but dress shirt collars and cuffs used to come separately from the shirt itself. The logic was that you could extend the life of the shirt by regularly swopping out just the parts that got dirtiest (and/or required regular starching).
Bond recognizes Witt’s aftershave because when he was bungled into their car earlier, he fell on the aftershave and it got all over his jacket. Waking up in the pipe, he realizes he stinks of aftershave. That’s why he recognizes the smell
I feel like this is much more like how the old cinema sins videos used to be- more actual analysis of the movie and it’s mistakes and plot holes and less forced jokes. Good stuff
3:35 The whole "Why is Moneypenny in the field" thing is actually addressed in the Daniel Craig films. She was a field agent at one time, but was re-assigned to the office. In the Craig films, it was essentially for accidentally shooting Bond and getting PTSD.
I'm surprised you didn't mention a sin of how Blofeld now looks like a character from You Only Live Twice seeing how picky you lot can be when you get in your sinning mode
@@timbeaton5045 Served him right for having the temerity to serve a martini stirred rather than shaken, although Bond was too polite to call him on it.
This is my favourite Bond film & probably the one I’ve seen the most. I love it’s camp ridiculousness, Charles Grey is amazing and just has so many quotable lines. “It’s late. I’m tired & there’s so much more to do.” 😀😀😀
Tom Mankiewicz wrote most of those lines. He of course went on to write LALD (and TMWTGG) which also had some great lines - Sheriff J.W. Pepper: "What are you boy, some kind of doomsday machine ?!!"
You should have taken a sin off for that long fight scene in the lift, it's epic, a very well done fight scene. And that Sherlock pun is always funny :D Also clearly the construction crew are obviously paid by Blofelt as is half the time
This is my favorite Bond movie mostly cause of the villains who btw are straight up revealed to be gay in the book. The movie staff had to be sneaky on it since they sadly couldn’t be as blunt as the book was. Also the duo villains in Kids Next Door are based off the villains from this movie which yes is partly why I like the villains in this movie.
@@ovs4744 Well due to the puritan Hayes Code, for three decades Hollywood essentially banned any depictions of LGBTQ peoples. So for poeple of that persuassion seeing representation was rare. This came out at the end of that period, so the film didn't really champion anything, or take any risks, but it's still a breath of fresh air after such a regressive era.
@@seandewell9319 that's not even remotely true tho lol. There's no need for every gay person in movies to explicitly say that they're gay or have the audience know that they're gay like they do nowadays.
Ah, Diamonds Are Forever, a magnificent, mixed up mess of a movie, that holds a very special place in my heart. It was the very first James Bond movie I ever saw. My father took me to see it when I was about ten. He was rather distant, so it was one of the few things we ever did together. That makes it a special memory. Seeing Jill St. John in that bikini was a significant event in my sexual awakening. I found the story difficult to follow. I attributed that to my just being young and not understanding some things. I watched it again, and again, and again over the years and various things still just didn't make sense. Eventually, when I was around thirty, I finally realized that it wasn't me, it wasn't that I was failing to connect the dots but that the movie just flat didn't make any sense. I couldn't understand why things happened because they were never explained because there was no reason for them to happen in the first place. I felt much better after achieving that enlightenment. Nonetheless, the movie is a fun ride which does not take itself too seriously and remains, despite its flaws, very enjoyable to watch and one of my favorite Bond films to this day.
Same for me... Diamonds are Forever is my favorite based on the fact it was my first Bond film. I grew up in a military family and my father had a part time job as a movie projectionist on Fuchu A.F.B. in Japan. He brought my brother and I to the theater while he worked. We always sat in the front row so that my father could see us through the tiny projectionist window. I remember leaving the movie with a lasting impression. I couldn't wait for the next Bond film to come out and that has been the case my entire life.
I like it as it has that James Bond on holiday feel to it but I never follow plots in a Bond film! I watch the spectacle. I enjoy the Bond films that are more surreal and this one was a more restraint surreal.
Back in ‘71, there was so much excitement about Sean Connery returning to 007, that all the movie had to do was have Connery. Fans packed the theaters and only later scratched their heads making any sense of it.
Even though it may forever be considered a diamond in the rough, the iconic elephant winning a jackpot in the room moment for this movie was that boat parked in that hotel parking lot.
Fuzzy Stripetail, there are lots of boats around Las Vegas. It is near a major body of water, Lake Mead, so many residents have boats. Also, a lot of people just passing through on the highway stop there overnight, and/or to spend some time in the casinos, and lots of them are towing boats to/from wherever.
Start: how about if Bond used dude's momentum against him? And could that be a straight trajectory with just the shadow playing across the side, like that?
9:57 Actually a loud muscle car isn't conspicuous at all in the USA. Try an European or Japanese compact "hot hatch" instead. Except the white VW Beetle on the right, those were everywhere.
@@bareknuckles2u Yes. The light behind the paper screen is coming from rear/left, so the shadow appears to the right, moving left as the person gets closer (then through) the screen.
I enjoyed this Bond movie. Great blend of campiness and Bond. I watched a lot of Bond movies as a kid, at when your young you overlook a lot things and enjoy for what it is.
The casting irony. Plenty O'Toole was played by Natalie Wood's sister. She drowns in this movie. Natalie Wood was married to Robert Wagner and she drowned in real life. Robert Wagner went on to later marry Jilll St. John, who plays Tiffany Case in this film
Cinema Sins’ Sins: It’s “Baja California”, not “Baja, California”. Baja is not a place in the US state California, Baja California is the north western most state in Mexico, located on the Baja California Peninsula and bordering California (US) to the north and Baja California Sur (another Mexican state) to the south. One would think a channel built on picking nits would get basic North American geography correct (or do simple fact check/proof read). I don’t normally point out nits, but this is not only such a basic mistake (This like a middle school geography mistake) that made it through multiple stages of production (at any point of which it should have been caught) but the mistake is the foundation for one of the sins. Edit: Also, even in the clip Cinema Sins’ used, it shows a close up of the 3D map showing an oil platform off the coast of Mexico (though the Baja Peninsula itself is missing from the map, other than a tiny nub). Cinema Sins was aware of this because they focus on it for the very next sin.
I wonder if they watched the movie. silly things 'smelled aftershave when unconscious' whole scene with the broken aftershave bottle. Collars and cuffs is British for "Curtains match the drapes" it's not a mistake. They don't speak American. The whole point of Baja is that its in Mexico. Bond would know this. No one calls it anything else but Baja California. They missed that he drove around in a very small circle, passing the same building a dozen times but get mad that you can keep a 'moon buggy' running on cruise. say by just jamming the throttle. This is possibly the worst CS I've seen. The movie deserves the sin count, but come on, at least watch it.
I was a teenager when my beloved father went with me about every week or so to a Cinema which showed the then 12 Bond Films from Dr. No up to the then most recent "For your Eyes only". Since we just missed the first two weeks with "Dr. No" & "From Russia with Love" we started with Goldfinger. Thunderball and You Only Live Twice knocked me out. On Her Majesty's Secret Service didn't give me anything. Not just because of George Lazenby. Also because it was sincere and the larger than life Figure of James Bond suddenly displayed ordinary human feelings for a love to just one Woman. But as many of us most likely experienced that this particular movie needed its time to develop in one's mind. Which it definitely did in mine. It is no suprise that on the German Movie Poster it said "The Best James Bond Film". So I was eager to see Sean Connery again. In Diamonds are Forever. Yet this time I was really angry about how dumb that movie was. BUT as the years passed and culture went downhill peaking with our entry into this Millenium those old Movies had developed into real Diamonds. Those sets, those charming actors, that Great Music, that campy fun, even with an absurd and inconsistent story these Films are so nice. In short, Diamonds are Forever is a unique Treasure. Ever since the Series became more and more vulgar, brutal, not funny, not charming, not larger than life, upwards from Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig I am outta there. That's why even a "Diamonds Are Forever" has become one lost masterpiece of days of golden human Culture. Shine on forever!
It's odd. They're killing the diamond smugglers in order, but skip Tiffany and go after "Franks" in the funeral home and the Tree at the hotel. Also, what are the odds the smuggling operation would have a mortician ready to go on little notice?
Adam West was apparently approached for this movie, or the previous one. That would've been a Batman '66 reunion from the pilot episode. 🦇 It would've made more sense, since Bond *LITERALLY* goes to America! No offense to Adam West's reason for not taking the part.
I recall my dad wouldn’t stop laughing at the lines after Lana Wood gets thrown in the pool “Exceptionally fine shot” - “I didn’t know there was a pool down there”
11:25 yes, one of the greatest continuity errors on film. reshoots of car entering and they forgot/didn't know/didn't care that the shot of the car leaving was on the left wheels. Richard Hammond had a good "cars of bond" special a few years ago and talked about it with someone that was on the crew
The problem with the Mustang stunt is that when they begin the stunt, they're on a soundstage in England. When they complete the stunt, they're in Las Vegas, Nevada. The problem came from the stunt coordinating crew not coordinating properly. It is a literal blooper that was covered up in editing with a re-shot close-up to maintain some kind of continuity.
I paused halfway through the video to write this comment and I gotta say, this movie looks stuffed! Goddamnit, I never watched it but there's so many plot points, locations, travelling, suits, vagina bearer plot points for Bond to display as trophies to the audience that this movie has to be longer than the Snydercut to fit all this!
Damnit man(/woman/whatever you identify as), you must watch every single Bond movie before entering any discussion on movies on UA-cam. That has been net law for years!
10:00 Tiffany Chase at the gas station. Behind her is the old Las Vegas Convention Center. The little "Rotunda" was the first place I saw a concert at. Foghat in 1979.

Austin Powers movies aren't necessary. Bond movies are comedy movies themselves. From bond girl with stripper names, to clowns trying to assassinate people with laughable and elaborate scorpion setup.
18:08 As a native Kansan, I am deeply offended by that statement. But, he’s probably correct... At least until people needed some flour or something. I don’t know what else we produce/export other what wheat...
Yeah no one cares about Kansas. Sorry. I can't remember the last time I heard any news from that state. I suppose that's a good thing, no news is good news and all. That means you haven't had any serious heinous crimes lately.
I know Diamonds are Forever is one of the most Divisive Bond movies. But it’s a guilty pleasure for me. Brilliant theme performed by the legendary Shirley Bassey. Great action. Loved Charles Gray’s performance as Blofeld.
Baja California isn't a state. Well, it is a state, but a state of Mexico. Hence the name, as opposed to simply California, which is a state. Of the USA. So that's why Bond calls it Baja California.
The video’s caption double downs on the mistake, placing a comma in “Baja, California”, (rather than “Baja California”). I question the lack of curiosity of people who don’t know where/what Baja California is. I can’t imagine looking at a map of North America and not wondering the name of the giant peninsula on Mexico’s west coast, just south of California.
I thought everyone knew that too. I was a little confused by the way he made it sound like a location within California, when it is in fact not even in the same country. What if it had been Chihuahua rather than Baja? Would he have said something like"why are they talking about dogs?". I suppose it could have been Labrador as well 🤣
I've never seen any of the old James Bond movies, so listening to you pick apart it's faults and plot holes is fascinating, as well as funny. I also love that you're delving into classic cinema and I hope you will continue to do so, because these old movies are fun to revisit.
@@dayoolaleye1265 Thank you for suggestion, I'll definitely have to check them out. I think Its so funny how different the older films are from the modern James Bond films. Being that the old ones are kinda fun and campy. And I also love seeing Sean Connery when he was young, he made a good James Bond.
Question for Behind the Sins: I'm curious about how the response has been regarding the change to outtakes in the CinemaSins videos. Has there been lots of positive feedback? Negative feedback? Middling feedback? Has the change boosted the channel's algorithm in regards to the viewers who would just skip past the outtakes? For my two cents, I'm finding the change a little inconvenient. I typically watch CinemaSins on my TV's UA-cam app, which as far as I know doesn't have any way to view the comments or the video description where I'd find the link to the outtakes video. So if I want to watch the outtakes I'll have to find the link on my PC either to watch it there, or to save the video to my Watch Later playlist. It's not a big problem, but if you guys are still taking feedback regarding the change to outtakes then that is mine: it's slightly inconvenient for people who watch UA-cam on a smart TV. I still love what you guys do though and thank you all for your hard work keeping us entertained week after week. :)

The movies didnt follow the order the books were written in. Diamonds Are Forever was before OHMSS
@@havokvladimirovichstalinov Not that the script bears much resemblance to the Diamonds novel, anyway.
They work for a spy agency where they regularly have to kill people. Empathy is probably a firable offence.
I think Mizz Jackson has an answer for that. ...if you're nasty

3:35 - Missed Sin:- Moneypenny asking a recently widowed man for a diamond in a ring.
I hate that too, but I think they were trying to make this film into a sequel to YOLT, since most of the general audience hated OHMSS for whatever reason. 😕
Not really a sin. It's been well established that Moneypenny has I-don't-give-a-fuck thirst for Bond.
They did to OHMSS what the halloween franchise did with all the sequels
@@mikeRedMDK2032 but onyl for this film, since Bond being married to Tracy gets referenced in the Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan films.
@@qualityautismNoah Right
The mortician doesn't get a "Discount Cary Grant"?? How disappointing!!
Hope to see more classic James Bond films!
I'm sure it's been covered somewhere below, but dress shirt collars and cuffs used to come separately from the shirt itself. The logic was that you could extend the life of the shirt by regularly swopping out just the parts that got dirtiest (and/or required regular starching).
Yes and I think they thought Bond was serious when he said it. It's a bit of humour. Oh for literal minds!
It would be "green" to do that today!
Bond recognizes Witt’s aftershave because when he was bungled into their car earlier, he fell on the aftershave and it got all over his jacket.
Waking up in the pipe, he realizes he stinks of aftershave. That’s why he recognizes the smell
He did not play a Spaniard. He played an Egyptian who was currently working for the Spanish king and going by a Spanish name.
Who did?

Never knew CInemaSins could sing, I'd love to hear them cover the full song
Jeremy has sung in some episodes.
Praise be.
He was singing in some other videos too :P
Why are you always here
@@leoalberts9514 Me?
I’ve watched so many of these, the sin at 8:47 has to be one of the funniest.
I feel like this is much more like how the old cinema sins videos used to be- more actual analysis of the movie and it’s mistakes and plot holes and less forced jokes. Good stuff
He missed a few spots though, like Bond being familiar with the aftershave scent because of an earlier scene
Indeed. Maybe it's also the lenght of the rant or the fact the movies he sins are worthless, but the cinemasins these days just make me fall asleep.
FYI, Baja California is a state of Mexico.
Cabo San Lucas is a beautiful tourist trap in Baja California!
Looking for this comment
3:35 The whole "Why is Moneypenny in the field" thing is actually addressed in the Daniel Craig films. She was a field agent at one time, but was re-assigned to the office. In the Craig films, it was essentially for accidentally shooting Bond and getting PTSD.
I'm surprised you didn't mention a sin of how Blofeld now looks like a character from You Only Live Twice seeing how picky you lot can be when you get in your sinning mode
_"We're not critics; we're assholes."_
Henderson, he was called in that movie. And got stabbed in the back halfway through some exposition, IIRC
@@timbeaton5045 Served him right for having the temerity to serve a martini stirred rather than shaken, although Bond was too polite to call him on it.
@@odysseusrex5908 well remembered!
9:12 thanks for not blurring out this multiple sins I added removed from any video on cinemasins
This is my favourite Bond film & probably the one I’ve seen the most. I love it’s camp ridiculousness, Charles Grey is amazing and just has so many quotable lines. “It’s late. I’m tired & there’s so much more to do.” 😀😀😀
Tom Mankiewicz wrote most of those lines. He of course went on to write LALD (and TMWTGG) which also had some great lines - Sheriff J.W. Pepper: "What are you boy, some kind of doomsday machine ?!!"
And Charles Grey played Mr. Henderson in a previous film.
You should have taken a sin off for that long fight scene in the lift, it's epic, a very well done fight scene. And that Sherlock pun is always funny :D Also clearly the construction crew are obviously paid by Blofelt as is half the time
Agreed, it's a great fight scene, Cinemasins don't have much patience for anything!
This is my favorite Bond movie mostly cause of the villains who btw are straight up revealed to be gay in the book. The movie staff had to be sneaky on it since they sadly couldn’t be as blunt as the book was. Also the duo villains in Kids Next Door are based off the villains from this movie which yes is partly why I like the villains in this movie.
why is it relevant that they're gay ?
That explains a lot about those guys from KND
That was "sneaky"?
@@ovs4744 Well due to the puritan Hayes Code, for three decades Hollywood essentially banned any depictions of LGBTQ peoples. So for poeple of that persuassion seeing representation was rare. This came out at the end of that period, so the film didn't really champion anything, or take any risks, but it's still a breath of fresh air after such a regressive era.
@@seandewell9319 that's not even remotely true tho lol. There's no need for every gay person in movies to explicitly say that they're gay or have the audience know that they're gay like they do nowadays.
Speaking about this I'm actually starting my Bond rewatch marathon today leading up to No Time To Die. Gonna rewatch Dr No.
Ah, Diamonds Are Forever, a magnificent, mixed up mess of a movie, that holds a very special place in my heart. It was the very first James Bond movie I ever saw. My father took me to see it when I was about ten. He was rather distant, so it was one of the few things we ever did together. That makes it a special memory. Seeing Jill St. John in that bikini was a significant event in my sexual awakening. I found the story difficult to follow. I attributed that to my just being young and not understanding some things. I watched it again, and again, and again over the years and various things still just didn't make sense. Eventually, when I was around thirty, I finally realized that it wasn't me, it wasn't that I was failing to connect the dots but that the movie just flat didn't make any sense. I couldn't understand why things happened because they were never explained because there was no reason for them to happen in the first place. I felt much better after achieving that enlightenment. Nonetheless, the movie is a fun ride which does not take itself too seriously and remains, despite its flaws, very enjoyable to watch and one of my favorite Bond films to this day.
Same for me... Diamonds are Forever is my favorite based on the fact it was my first Bond film. I grew up in a military family and my father had a part time job as a movie projectionist on Fuchu A.F.B. in Japan. He brought my brother and I to the theater while he worked. We always sat in the front row so that my father could see us through the tiny projectionist window. I remember leaving the movie with a lasting impression. I couldn't wait for the next Bond film to come out and that has been the case my entire life.
I like it as it has that James Bond on holiday feel to it but I never follow plots in a Bond film! I watch the spectacle. I enjoy the Bond films that are more surreal and this one was a more restraint surreal.
Back in ‘71, there was so much excitement about Sean Connery returning to 007, that all the movie had to do was have Connery. Fans packed the theaters and only later scratched their heads making any sense of it.
It was alright
Donald Pleasance didn't turn into Charles Gray. Donald Pleasance turned into Telly Savalas, who turned into Charles Gray.
Even though it may forever be considered a diamond in the rough, the iconic elephant winning a jackpot in the room moment for this movie was that boat parked in that hotel parking lot.
Fuzzy Stripetail, there are lots of boats around Las Vegas. It is near a major body of water, Lake Mead, so many residents have boats. Also, a lot of people just passing through on the highway stop there overnight, and/or to spend some time in the casinos, and lots of them are towing boats to/from wherever.
I know this one rates pretty low on the Bond movie hierarchy, but I love it. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd are great villains.
At exactly 3:38, they are pulling out an actual inflatable doll out of the water from the Amsterdam canal😂😂😂😂😂😂
Start: how about if Bond used dude's momentum against him? And could that be a straight trajectory with just the shadow playing across the side, like that?
Baja is a part of Mexico and that is why it was mentioned along with the states.
When you’re the world’s most well known spy, you’re not very good at your job.
Thats kind of funny actually :P
He's kind of like the boogieman. Everyone knows him but no one's seen him and lived.
@@ReconCrusader James Bond isn’t a name?🤔
@@ReconCrusader You believe in that theory. Fair enough.
@@ReconCrusader and Roach is called Roach because he never wanted to be attached to just one horse. So he calls all his horses Roach.
15:58 omg the scene that inspired Mrs Doubtfire :O
cuffs and collars were replaceable on shirts due to starching. hence do the collars match the cuffs.
This movie was my child hood , i still love watching old school bond movies crazy plot and all ❤
Elevator fight:: great villan; red hair villain ( tiaffany)
Moneypenny is actually the greatest assassin in the agency. Usually she is M's body guard. Occasionally she is given field work to keep her sharp.
there's a much simpler explanation. misogyny.
9:57 Actually a loud muscle car isn't conspicuous at all in the USA. Try an European or Japanese compact "hot hatch" instead. Except the white VW Beetle on the right, those were everywhere.
0:22 the curveball human is simply how shadows work...
Uhm...no.
@@bareknuckles2u Yes. The light behind the paper screen is coming from rear/left, so the shadow appears to the right, moving left as the person gets closer (then through) the screen.
I enjoyed this Bond movie. Great blend of campiness and Bond. I watched a lot of Bond movies as a kid, at when your young you overlook a lot things and enjoy for what it is.
13:30 - 13:33: Who knew Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd were really Beavis and Butthead?
The casting irony. Plenty O'Toole was played by Natalie Wood's sister. She drowns in this movie. Natalie Wood was married to Robert Wagner and she drowned in real life. Robert Wagner went on to later marry Jilll St. John, who plays Tiffany Case in this film
Bit of a morose version of the six-degrees game, there. :-o
Also Mr. Wint is played by Bruce Glover who actually IS Crispin Glover's dad.
"and she drowned" aka got possibly killed, as the Police is still considering Wagner a person of interest.
Not to mention that Robert Wagner played #2 to Dr Evil in the Austin Powers films that parodied the Bond films.
@@qualityautismNoah not anymore they aren't. He's been cleared of involved by the LAPD
One of the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray extras solves how Plenty found where Tiffany lives
Cinema Sins’ Sins:
It’s “Baja California”, not “Baja, California”. Baja is not a place in the US state California, Baja California is the north western most state in Mexico, located on the Baja California Peninsula and bordering California (US) to the north and Baja California Sur (another Mexican state) to the south.
One would think a channel built on picking nits would get basic North American geography correct (or do simple fact check/proof read).
I don’t normally point out nits, but this is not only such a basic mistake (This like a middle school geography mistake) that made it through multiple stages of production (at any point of which it should have been caught) but the mistake is the foundation for one of the sins.
Edit: Also, even in the clip Cinema Sins’ used, it shows a close up of the 3D map showing an oil platform off the coast of Mexico (though the Baja Peninsula itself is missing from the map, other than a tiny nub). Cinema Sins was aware of this because they focus on it for the very next sin.
I wonder if they watched the movie. silly things 'smelled aftershave when unconscious' whole scene with the broken aftershave bottle.
Collars and cuffs is British for "Curtains match the drapes" it's not a mistake. They don't speak American.
The whole point of Baja is that its in Mexico. Bond would know this. No one calls it anything else but Baja California.
They missed that he drove around in a very small circle, passing the same building a dozen times but get mad that you can keep a 'moon buggy' running on cruise. say by just jamming the throttle.
This is possibly the worst CS I've seen.
The movie deserves the sin count, but come on, at least watch it.
Came here to say that!
I like that classic line "Where the hell do you think you're going?" 6:37
I kept expecting Blofeld to start saying, "I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey..."
I was a teenager when my beloved father went with me about every week or so to a Cinema which showed the then 12 Bond Films from Dr. No up to the then most recent "For your Eyes only". Since we just missed the first two weeks with "Dr. No" & "From Russia with Love" we started with Goldfinger. Thunderball and You Only Live Twice knocked me out. On Her Majesty's Secret Service didn't give me anything. Not just because of George Lazenby. Also because it was sincere and the larger than life Figure of James Bond suddenly displayed ordinary human feelings for a love to just one Woman. But as many of us most likely experienced that this particular movie needed its time to develop in one's mind. Which it definitely did in mine. It is no suprise that on the German Movie Poster it said "The Best James Bond Film". So I was eager to see Sean Connery again. In Diamonds are Forever. Yet this time I was really angry about how dumb that movie was. BUT as the years passed and culture went downhill peaking with our entry into this Millenium those old Movies had developed into real Diamonds. Those sets, those charming actors, that Great Music, that campy fun, even with an absurd and inconsistent story these Films are so nice. In short, Diamonds are Forever is a unique Treasure. Ever since the Series became more and more vulgar, brutal, not funny, not charming, not larger than life, upwards from Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig I am outta there. That's why even a "Diamonds Are Forever" has become one lost masterpiece of days of golden human Culture. Shine on forever!
It's odd. They're killing the diamond smugglers in order, but skip Tiffany and go after "Franks" in the funeral home and the Tree at the hotel. Also, what are the odds the smuggling operation would have a mortician ready to go on little notice?
No ads before, no ads after, pointing out actual sins (occasionally). Feels like I'm watching a nice recall to old-school cinemasins.
Adam West was apparently approached for this movie, or the previous one. That would've been a Batman '66 reunion from the pilot episode. 🦇 It would've made more sense, since Bond *LITERALLY* goes to America! No offense to Adam West's reason for not taking the part.
What role was Adam West offered?
@@mombaassa The main character.
@@T4K2000 Wow! I wonder how he would have gone with the accent?
Not that he didn't attempt to do it, but not being British is the reason he didn't do it.
@@T4K2000 I see. Thanks.
Absolutely love when you do the classics. Keep up the good work, my friend!

I've always second-guessed this. Barring extenuating case specifics, you'd expect a famous spy to be a failed spy!

11:25 yes, one of the greatest continuity errors on film. reshoots of car entering and they forgot/didn't know/didn't care that the shot of the car leaving was on the left wheels. Richard Hammond had a good "cars of bond" special a few years ago and talked about it with someone that was on the crew
They should do more Bond movies. All of them!!
The problem with the Mustang stunt is that when they begin the stunt, they're on a soundstage in England. When they complete the stunt, they're in Las Vegas, Nevada. The problem came from the stunt coordinating crew not coordinating properly. It is a literal blooper that was covered up in editing with a re-shot close-up to maintain some kind of continuity.
You forgot the worst: talking german while pretending to be dutch. In a time the war was still mentioned
This movie is great bonkers fun. And quotable as can be. Charles Gray is a legend LOL please, please do more classic Bond!
I paused halfway through the video to write this comment and I gotta say, this movie looks stuffed! Goddamnit, I never watched it but there's so many plot points, locations, travelling, suits, vagina bearer plot points for Bond to display as trophies to the audience that this movie has to be longer than the Snydercut to fit all this!
Damnit man(/woman/whatever you identify as), you must watch every single Bond movie before entering any discussion on movies on UA-cam. That has been net law for years!
@@gentblue oh shit
Some interesting deleted scenes, like where sammy davis jr is gambling in the casino
10:00 Tiffany Chase at the gas station. Behind her is the old Las Vegas Convention Center. The little "Rotunda" was the first place I saw a concert at. Foghat in 1979.
Still one of my favourite James Bond films
It still has original cast M:: Q ; money penny: James bond (Sean Connery) ❤ elevator fight;; tiaffany beauty bikini body lady ; made in America hurt it
I did enjoy the assassin duo in this movie. The 007 franchise knows how to have fun with villains.
fun fact, tiffany case's house is the same one they used for the poolside gunfight in lethal weapon
The major sin of this movie is virtually ignoring the pivotal events of OHMSS
Austin Powers movies aren't necessary. Bond movies are comedy movies themselves. From bond girl with stripper names, to clowns trying to assassinate people with laughable and elaborate scorpion setup.
OOOOOhm, Plenty O' toole. one of my favorite characters growing up
18:08 As a native Kansan, I am deeply offended by that statement. But, he’s probably correct... At least until people needed some flour or something. I don’t know what else we produce/export other what wheat...
Tornadoes that blow away our wheat.
And I guess some planes from Wichita or something
Yeah no one cares about Kansas. Sorry. I can't remember the last time I heard any news from that state. I suppose that's a good thing, no news is good news and all. That means you haven't had any serious heinous crimes lately.
@@JimmyMon666 The swatting incident was probably the last nationwide coverage we got, that I’m aware of at least

17:15 Baja California is a state in Mexico.
While there could be a city called Baja in California, I think the Mexican state is what is in reference.
I know Diamonds are Forever is one of the most Divisive Bond movies. But it’s a guilty pleasure for me. Brilliant theme performed by the legendary Shirley Bassey. Great action. Loved Charles Gray’s performance as Blofeld.
Loved the 2 villains and the 2 women...
Baja California is a state in Mexico. Its capital is Mexicali. And, it is north of Baja California Sur.
Baja California isn't a state. Well, it is a state, but a state of Mexico. Hence the name, as opposed to simply California, which is a state. Of the USA. So that's why Bond calls it Baja California.
The video’s caption double downs on the mistake, placing a comma in “Baja, California”, (rather than “Baja California”).
I question the lack of curiosity of people who don’t know where/what Baja California is. I can’t imagine looking at a map of North America and not wondering the name of the giant peninsula on Mexico’s west coast, just south of California.
I thought everyone knew that too. I was a little confused by the way he made it sound like a location within California, when it is in fact not even in the same country. What if it had been Chihuahua rather than Baja? Would he have said something like"why are they talking about dogs?". I suppose it could have been Labrador as well 🤣
Loving this. Wish you could do more of the bond movies.
Blofeld: "Get my Bathosub ready immediately."
CinemaSins: "Bahahaha!"
Me: 🙁...😕...🤫
I didn't understand it either lol
Possibly a pun on bathos.
I've never seen any of the old James Bond movies, so listening to you pick apart it's faults and plot holes is fascinating, as well as funny. I also love that you're delving into classic cinema and I hope you will continue to do so, because these old movies are fun to revisit.
Do yourself a favor and revisit those classic bonds. Even the bad ones are still entertaining and with lavish landscapes
@@dayoolaleye1265 Thank you for suggestion, I'll definitely have to check them out. I think Its so funny how different the older films are from the modern James Bond films. Being that the old ones are kinda fun and campy. And I also love seeing Sean Connery when he was young, he made a good James Bond.
Of course I had to look it up. Yes, Bruce Glover is indeed Crispin Glover's dad.
They missed the sin for the astronauts moving slowly for no seemingly real reason when they try to stop bond...
Question for Behind the Sins: I'm curious about how the response has been regarding the change to outtakes in the CinemaSins videos. Has there been lots of positive feedback? Negative feedback? Middling feedback? Has the change boosted the channel's algorithm in regards to the viewers who would just skip past the outtakes?
For my two cents, I'm finding the change a little inconvenient. I typically watch CinemaSins on my TV's UA-cam app, which as far as I know doesn't have any way to view the comments or the video description where I'd find the link to the outtakes video. So if I want to watch the outtakes I'll have to find the link on my PC either to watch it there, or to save the video to my Watch Later playlist. It's not a big problem, but if you guys are still taking feedback regarding the change to outtakes then that is mine: it's slightly inconvenient for people who watch UA-cam on a smart TV. I still love what you guys do though and thank you all for your hard work keeping us entertained week after week. :)
Yeah, it's an annoying change. Although it's far less annoying that having ads EVERY THREE MINUTES.
17:20ish: Baja California isn't in California. It's the big penninsula on the west side of Mexico.
4:32 an Aston Martin DBS 1969’s engine is behind the front chassis so plenty of room at the front. One more sin for Cinema Sins for shoddy research 🤦♂️
This is one of my fav. Bonds
I've always loved the James Bond and Batman type continuity were yes it's implied some things are connected but each has it's a totally different look and even actors. And the history is only loosely implied.
As a kid always imagined it was some kind of an alternate universe version we saw. Now Marvel made it a real thing lol
One of most underrated James Bond movies together with Thunderball , a view to kill , license to kill , and tomorrow never days.
More bond films please. There is 20+ of them
Thank you for doing classic Bond, it's my favorite movie series
