< Blood Diamond
Blood Diamond/YMMV
- Complete Monster: Captain Poison, and as we see later, Colonel Coetzee.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Danny and Solomon need to cross a bridge at one point. With the right gun skills and a cap, they get past the guards quite effectively.
- Solomon's shovel-armed, literal Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Poison.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: every scene.
- Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: The stuff about diamond mines being run by slave labor because the diamond industry really doesn't care how many puppies are raped in the name of profits? Actually mostly true.
- Fun fact: Supposedly, De Beers diamond company, suspected to making a deal with Executive Outcomes during the conflict, had their sales dropped after the film's plot was made public.
- Special Effects Failure: Jennifer Connelly's character had a tear digitally added to her face when Danny calls her cell phone as he's about to die. In a movie filled with plenty of real tears (probably including some from the audience) the fact that this one is fake is really obvious.
- There's also one during the firefight where the press convoy is attacked. The van and Danny and co. escape in gets its rear window shattered out by bullets, but the front window remains completely intact.
