I don't like these. I never watched them.
@@MausOfTheHouse ok
I do like these. I always watch them.
Okay unpopular opinion, I get it.
Everything Wrong With A Goofy Movie.
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
*DING*
Which still doesn’t make sense as Wint and Kidd know who Tiffany is as they saw her with Bond on the plane
@@Weazel1 Yeah I agree
Unless Blofeld had a file on her, how did they know?
The deleted scene explains how Plenty knew where Tiffany's house was. It's still a mystery how Bond knew.
Nope, pools were connected.
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 Filomena told me where to find it
@@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.
James Bond is a simple -tailor- representative of Universal Exports.
@@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.
“Well providing the collars and cuffs match!”
-my favorite James Bond line 🤣❤️
"Plenty O'Toole"
"Named after your father perhaps?"
I enjoy the line but it makes zero sense. It's almost always better when they don't match. That shows effort was involved.
@@D64nz That, sir, is a matter of opinion. Besides, it's hair. How would changing its color constitute 'effort'?
Many people didn't get that line. It refers to pubic hair and eyebrows.
@@speedracer1945Pubic hair and hair in their head if they are the same color then they are using their natural hair color.
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."
I have always loved his oh so politely apologizing to the rat for the way he smelled.
I was just out walking my rat and have seemed to lost my way.
Yep. He said to a rat “one of us smells like a child’s handkerchief”. Then “I believe it’s me, sorry old boy”
@@McZachary44 it was “one of us smells like a tarts handkerchief”.
I miss the days when James Bond plots were this nuts.
You must've missed Skyfall then LOL
@@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.
Yes, 2002 Die Another Day was the last 007 adventure type spectacle.
How old were you when DAF came out?
@@dangin8811 I was negative twenty years old.
"Plenty O'Toole" "Named after your father perhaps" is one of THE best Bond innuendos
That title still stays with Miss Pussy Galore from Goldfinger
I feel like the subtle meme about the missiles being lowered into the engine bay is where TF are they supposed to go!
Also cars have engines in the back
@@Hungryghost01 that was a Aston Martin DBS, which is front engined.
@@doabarrellroll69 does that look like a normal car? They are putting giant rockets in the front
@@Hungryghost01 well to be fair it does look like a normal car.
@its fine no thats not a fax machine. Thats a video about Muslims
"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?"
Lake Mead
Gee, it's almost like one of the guests brought their boat with them, but didn't want to drag it around all over Vegas...
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.
@@jimmym3352 You yutzes let people boat on your water source? WTF?
@@texasguy- god Damit! You beat me saying Lake Mead!
Huh. That actually IS Crispen Glover's dad. Learned something.
Thanks for shedding light on that. I myself was struggling to see the resemblance.
And that is Natalie Wood’s sister, Lana, as Plenty O’Toole.
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
@@mike91mdk45 but onyl for this film, since Bond being married to Tracy gets referenced in the Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan films.
@@qualityautismNoah Right
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.
"accidentally." You mispeeled "shite continuitied".
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.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 Oh.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 Boy, Otaku, you tried it. You really did.
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?
@@rivalflash4569 Sean Connery in Highlander.
I thought the character was called Rodriguez.
@@mombaassa Ramirez, but he states he was born in ancient Egypt.
@@SerpentorTheEmperor Ramirez Rameses Potato Potayto
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
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
ua-cam.com/video/K0CGN2763Wk/v-deo.html
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?!
Absolutely right.
Yep. The closest servants to the head of anything are probably the most highly trained killers in the organization.
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.
Baja California is a state in Mexico. Therefore, Bond did mention only the state name. That is a sin on you!
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!
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.
I'm a big Bond fan, but this was easily one of the most sinnable James Bond movies, right up there with Pierce Brosnan surfing on ice waves in Die Another Day!
Moonraker, well pretty much any of the Roger Moore movies.
Actually, I think all Bond movies were made specifically for cinemasins
Indeed. Sinning these would be like a kid in a candy store. Where to begin...
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.
Probably because the movie's writers changed almost the entire plot, except for it taking place in Las Vegas and involving diamond smuggling.
Pierce Brosnan should have begged to do another Bond after that piece of crap so he could go out on a good one.
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!
Nothing can sin Shirley Bassey's voice. EVER
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
The mortician doesn't get a "Discount Cary Grant"?? How disappointing!!
I’ve watched so many of these, the sin at 8:47 has to be one of the funniest.
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.
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.
FYI, Baja California is a state of Mexico.
Cabo San Lucas is a beautiful tourist trap in Baja California!
Looking for this comment
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.
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.
Yay! Now do more Bond films!
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.
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.
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
Agreed, it's a great fight scene, Cinemasins don't have much patience for anything!
Hope to see more classic James Bond films!
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.
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!
cuffs and collars were replaceable on shirts due to starching. hence do the collars match the cuffs.
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?
I kept expecting Blofeld to start saying, "I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey..."
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.
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)
13:30 - 13:33: Who knew Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd were really Beavis and Butthead?
You forgot the worst: talking german while pretending to be dutch. In a time the war was still mentioned
fun fact, tiffany case's house is the same one they used for the poolside gunfight in lethal weapon
10:40
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?
When you are dying, on your deathbed, you will finally sin, “Sneakers.”
So, you’ve got THAT going for you.
I like that classic line "Where the hell do you think you're going?" 6:37
9:12 thanks for not blurring out this multiple sins I added removed from any video on cinemasins
i genuinely thought this was about the song
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?
One of most underrated James Bond movies together with Thunderball , a view to kill , license to kill , and tomorrow never days.
9:08 is entirely for the see-through white top in the water
glad I'm not the only one to notice that. Of course I tend to notice those kinds of things.
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 🤣
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 🤦♂️
Speaking about this I'm actually starting my Bond rewatch marathon today leading up to No Time To Die. Gonna rewatch Dr No.
The most memorable thing about this movie is it's intro and the song
That's literally all I remember after watching it many times as a kid 😂
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
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.
@@teigannyman196 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.
@@teigannyman196 I see. Thanks.
OOOOOhm, Plenty O' toole. one of my favorite characters growing up
5:04
I've always second-guessed this. Barring extenuating case specifics, you'd expect a famous spy to be a failed spy!
How about a sin for Sean being bored throughout the whole film.. He literally couldn't be arsed any more
He only agreed to it so he could play golf in morning on the studio’s dime.
He was out of shape and a bit chubby too. He actually got in better shape for his Bond film in the 80's.
Well, he's better than he was in "You Only Live Twice", when he was sick of the role and wanted out. For this one, he got a king's ransom of a salary (most of which he gave to a Scottish charity) and a multi-picture deal with UA.
@@greenmonsterprod he didn't give it to a Scottish charity he gave it to the SNP. The SNP is a Scottish political party who want independence. They are currently in power in Scotland
@@johnthwaites5976 The sources I've seen say he used the money to establish the Scottish International Education Trust. No word on political donations.
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.
No ads before, no ads after, pointing out actual sins (occasionally). Feels like I'm watching a nice recall to old-school cinemasins.
8:50 Just you wait till you see the pigeon bit in Moonraker, good sir!
Bond didn't get to the state of California. He got to the Mexican area called Baja California, which literally sticks out like a sore thumb.
CinemaSins fails geography.
*ding*
Yeah, haha. Baja California =/= California
In the deleted scenes it explains that Plenty snuck back into the hotel room to get her clothes and found Tiffany’s address. She went to Tiffany’s house to get revenge but ran into Wint and Kidd instead. They thought she was Tiffany so they killed her.
One month and a day left til No Time to Die
I had souvenir cups from the original release... Stolen out of my duffle bag at Cleveland Airport. Why? How? Of all things...
The ironic thing is that at exactly 2 min in to this video I had an ad pop up for the NEW James Bond movie
Add a sin for me having to Google who Crispin Glover's dad is.
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.
They missed the sin for the astronauts moving slowly for no seemingly real reason when they try to stop bond...
I know this one rates pretty low on the Bond movie hierarchy, but I love it. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd are great villains.
Of course I had to look it up. Yes, Bruce Glover is indeed Crispin Glover's dad.
They should do more Bond movies. All of them!!
15:58 omg the scene that inspired Mrs Doubtfire :O
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.
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 good old days of James Bond. 😁
Fun fact mr. Wint and mr. Kidd we're parodied in codename kids Next Door as mr. Wink and mr. Fibb
I found this out like four years ago
Also at 9:52 you can see the frontier marquee that sign is still standing (well not the signs but the pylons) it's amazing how Vegas changed but didn't change too much from its original layout
Kind of ashamed that in its place is now just a festival grounds
Blofeld: "Get my Bathosub ready immediately."
CinemaSins: "Bahahaha!"
Me: 🙁...😕...🤫
I didn't understand it either lol
Possibly a pun on bathos.
Actually dragonflies have the highest success rate of hunting of any creature
Actually...blah blah blah!

Say that to a dragonflies face, I'll start the funeral preparations
Damn near 100% success rate!
Thanks Reddit from 5 days ago
I didn't notice the footage reverse the first time I watched the bit where Bond has that dude up against the roulette wheel and thought the roulette wheel actually put his fez back gently on his head.
Me too😅
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
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.
@@jimmym3352 The swatting incident was probably the last nationwide coverage we got, that I’m aware of at least
More bond films please. There is 20+ of them
This movie is great bonkers fun. And quotable as can be. Charles Gray is a legend LOL please, please do more classic Bond!
Surprised the repetition of a sentence by exposition guy at the beginning wasn’t mentioned. “Even tho the industry prides itself…”
13:28 Just shoot the bastard.
Dr Evil: You just don’t get it do you?..
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...
“These uncool, drooling fools threw Plenty O’Toole in the pool.”
Say that five times fast 😂
@16:35 ya I remember my brother calling that out when we watched this as kids
In the original film, the red car went up on one set of wheels but emerged from the alley on the opposite set.
The scene of the car swapping sides was added much later for the special edition DVDs.
Correct - when they tried to fix it they could not flip (mirror) the shots because of the street signs, so they added the change of side in the middle of the alley.
@@davesouthword1298 If I remember correctly, it was mentioned as part of the special features on the 50th anniversary Blu-Ray that they also went back to Las Vegas to shoot the correct departure from the alley, but as the side change with the actors was already completed, it didn't make the cut. The scene was, however, included in said special features.
Diamonds are forever only because diamond is unbreakable
It's not "Baja, California". It's "Baja California" (Lower California). It's that huge peninsula on the west side of Mexico.
Absolutely love when you do the classics. Keep up the good work, my friend!
(More Bond films to come?)
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
Fun fact: there are more diamonds in space than wood
Is there even wood in space 🤔
[citation needed]
If I were in space and watching a scene from this movie involving Plenty O'Toole, then yes, there would be wood in space.
The car-on-two-wheels-through-the-alley scene is a famous continuity error. And you just made me make this comment. Touché.
Maybe the neon blue stars and the elevator are on the left/back side of the The Whyte House shots? On the daylight shot you can even see something going up there.
