Diamonds Are Forever

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently. This is the seventh in the Bond series and Sean Connery reprises the role of James Bond for the sixth time. (Must b a huge paycheck). This time Bond impersonates as a diamond smuggler to infiltrate a smuggling ring and soon uncovers a plot by his old enemy Blofeld to use the diamonds to build a space-based laser weapon. A big lol man.

This time Bond faces several Blofeld lookalikes, mafia henchmen Wint n Kidd n two acrobatic bodyguards, Bambi n Thumper. The only noteworthy stuff in this movie is the 2 wheels aka the alley car. A Mustang passes through a narrow alley tilting on two wheels. This was way before The Fast n the Furious. Bond gets to cool off with only Jill St. John as the other Bond girl Lana Wood gets a shocking discard. Sean Connery is looking haggard n outta shape. The Bond girl Jill St. John aint that attractive compared to the earlier Bond girls. In fact, the other buxom babe who is there for a short stint is more attractive.

More info about the assassins, Wint n Kidd from the novel. They r sadistic assassins n enforcers working for the The Spangled Mob (American Mafia family based in Las Vegas). They both kick Bond into unconsciousness while wearing football cleats/studs.
