The last official Bond movie that starred Connery, Diamonds is famous for several reasons. The mustang stunt that obviously started on two wheels and ends up on the other two wheels. The space buggy is a great vehicle and the two strangest killers ever with Mr Kidd & Mr Wint. Set mostly in Las Vegas, the movie is glittery and bright, and takes advantage of all that Las Vegas has to offer. The big battle at the end is pretty spectacular and yes, the movie does have a character called Plenty O’Toole.
