Diamonds Are Forever/YMMV

• Awesome Music: Shirley Bassey's campy, ode to diamonds is just fabulous. Also, the Leitmotif for Blofeld's Kill Sat is worth a listen.
  • Wint and Kidds theme is a dark, low-key piece that fits perfectly as a Leitmotif for a pair of assassins
• Fridge Brilliance: The two fakes both refer to him as 007; the real Blofeld always calls him "Mr Bond". In fact, throughout the series, Blofeld nearly always refers to him as "Bond" (or some variation thereof).
• Fridge Logic: Bond uses a voice changing machine to intercept Blofeld's order to Bert Saxby to kill Willard Whyte. But then Saxby still shows up to do the job, making one wonder how he found out about the order.
  • Blofeld noticed something odd about Saxby's voice. He probably called Saxby back on a hunch.
• Narm: For some viewers it's everything that Wint and Kidd do (though many times it's Played for Laughs), while for others it's probably Bond's heroic moon buggy escape.
• Nightmare Fuel: The cremation scene. Getting cremated alive has got to be the most horrific way to die imaginable.
• Sequelitis: It's widely considered Connery's weakest and among the low points of the series for its campy tone and incoherent plot.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Bond going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge to destroy Blofeld and SPECTRE once and for all would have made a hell of a movie and a Grand Finale to the Sean Connery era, or a great comeback for Lazenby. Too bad the revenge angle all but disappears after the Cold Open, Lazenby was long gone and Connery looks bored as hell, the movie's a giant cheese factory on wheels and nothing with Blofeld really gets resolved.
• Values Dissonance: James plays with Tiffany's genuine fear of being locked up for pure kicks at times.
• What an Idiot!: Willard Whyte has installations all over the place; Alaska, Florida, Maine, Oregon, Texas, Baja -- wait, he doesn't have anything in Baja? The villains could've set up anywhere along any coastline, and they choose the one place Whyte knows he doesn't have any property? And then they mark their secret base on Whyte's map?
  • To be fair, Blofeld didn't think that he would be kicked out of that hotel room, so the map was more or less safe. And Whyte does have property in Baja- Blofeld bought it when impersonating him, so it (semi-)legally belongs to his company.
