Trivia
Because of Sir Sean Connery's high fee, the special effects budget was significantly scaled back. Connery was reportedly paid $1,250,000 to return as James Bond, a figure unheard of in those days.

Goofs
During the lunar rover chase scene at 1:01:45, the camera follows the rover going down a ravine while a pursuing car flips and rolls down the slope. When the car stops at the bottom of the hill, one of the moon buggy's wheels, not the car's, rolls into the foreground. In the next shot, Bond is still driving the rover with all of its wheels attached.

Quotes
Slumber Inc. Attendant: The stiff, ehm, the deceased back there... Your brother, Mr. Franks?
James Bond: Yes, it was.
Slumber Inc. Attendant: I got a brudder.
James Bond: Small world.

Crazy credits
THE END of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER James Bond will return in LIVE AND LET DIE

Alternate versions
The 1982 RCA Videodisc release in the U.S. omits the film's closing title screen that indicates that James Bond will return in "Live and Let Die", instead fading out at the end of the closing credit scroll.

Connery's weakest but really fun

Diamonds are Forever is definitely Sean Connery's weakest official outing as 007 but it's still a really fun Bond film that's got memorable set pieces and plenty of humour. Sean Connery shows signs of his boredom at the role but he's still great with all the charisma and screen presence.

Guy Hamilton's direction is really good with impressively shot set pieces, even if some of the effects look cheap. The music by John Barry is good, using the previous themes well but never doing anything new or memorable. The song by Shirley Bassey is incredible, a standout that counterbalances the competently fine score.
