The Best Scene from Diamonds are Forever

Gale Weathers · May 9th, 2006, 01:16 PM

I am doing a school project, and I want to include a clip from Diamonds Are Forever. What do you think is the best scene from that movie?

I'll give you three: the introduction to Plenty ("Of course you are"); the showdown with Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd and the Flaming Shish Kebob Skewers of Doom; and the very end ("James, how the hell do we get those diamonds down again?").

The best scene is the Vegas car chase bewteen Bond and the cops (not the one in the desert). But if it were directed more towards Bond fans, I love the scene where Bond thinks he's about to meet Willard Whyte and sees Blofeld.

From the opening scene:
"Where's Blofeld?"

I fell in love with the movie from this scene and the rest continued so well from there.

Anything from the pretitles, basically.

I think the pretitles in DAF are the worst in the whole series. JMO.

Out of curiosity, what don't you like about them?

I should probably say what I like about them: I tend to like revenge movies, both 007 and non-007. DAF, LTK, and Goldeneye are all in my top 5 favorite Bond movies. To me, the opening pretitle for DAF is exactly what I wanted to see at that point in the series.

(Of course, to some people, this is exactly what they didn't want to see...)

Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe when we are done, we will post the video online for you folks to watch.

The assignment is to make a segment about movies from a decade. Mine happens to be the 1970s.

Moonbuggy chase, Las Vegas (Mustang) chase, the Bambi & Thumper fight, and the oil platform battle.
