History Film / DiamondsAreForever

* DoubleEntendre: Used by a Bond Girl for once, in the above-mentioned scene where she's 'impressed' by Bond, he's delivering exposition on the EvilPlan, and she's ostensibly commenting on this.

* CoffinContraband:
** James Bond impersonates a diamond smuggler he has killed and smuggles the diamonds inside the corpse inside a coffin.

** When Bond is trapped in a coffin and about to be cremated alive the coffin he's trapped in is supposed to have the $50,000 he was to be paid for smuggling, which is how they lured him into the coffin in the first place.

* ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics: Those "radiation shields" that Klaus Hergesheimer is handing out are just a tiny badge that wouldn't shield you against anything. They're clearly meant to be a dosimeter badge, used to detect radiation rather than shield the wearer against it.

* HumanMail: A small aircraft flies over Blofeld's oil rig and a container thrown out on parachutes. It's a kind of plastic sphere with Bond inside [[WalkOnWater that he rolls over to the oil rig]] so he can have a chat with Blofeld.

* SpaceIsSlowMotion: Bond nimbly dodges past a couple of trainee astronauts who are moving slowly for no other reason but this trope, never mind they're on Earth and others are shouting at them to stop Bond from stealing their Moon rover.

* WhatNowEnding: "James, how the hell do we get those diamonds down again?"

* LawOfInverseRecoil: Tiffany Case, when prompted by Bond to fire a machine gun at the Baja California oil rig.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Tiffany's mix-up with the tape is understandable. When she enters the control room it looks like Bond has been caught trying to remove the tape, and is being forced at gunpoint to put it back in the computer. What actually happened was that Bond 'accidentally' ejected the tape onto the floor, then switched them while picking it up.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Bond tucks the tape into Tiffany's bikini bottom, saying, "Your problems are all behind you now." It's the real tape and Bond wants Tiffany to dispose of it. Tiffany thinks it's the fake tape and replaces it instead.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: Blofeld is about to escape in his submarine, which is being lowered into the water on a crane, and his satellite is moving into position to destroy Washington D.C. Bond solves both problems by seizing control of the crane and using Blofeld's sub as a wrecking ball to smash up the satellite control room.

* HumanMail: A small aircraft flies over Blofeld's oilrig and a package thrown out on parachutes. It's a kind of plastic sphere that Bond [[WalkOnWater rolls over to the oilrig]] so he can have a chat with Blofeld.

* DisguisedInDrag: Blofeld leaves his casino/hotel base disguised as an old lady.

* BluffTheImpostor: Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd pretend to be room service and serve Bond and Tiffany diner. After they serve the drinks, Bond remarks he would have liked to drink a claret. Mr. Wint apologizes and says they ran out, then Bond points out the drink they served was a claret. Given that Wint is wearing a sommelier's tastevine, [[CoverIdentityAnomaly this is something he should know]].

* BluffTheImpostor: Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd pretend to be room service and serve Bond and Tiffany diner. After they serve the drinks, Bond remarks he would have liked to drink a claret. Mr. Wint apologizes and says they ran out, then Bond points out the drink they served was a claret.

* HumanMail: A small aircraft flies over Blofeld's oilrig and a package thrown out on parachutes.

** Shady Tree rescues James Bond from Kidd and Wint's incineration attempt because he had passed phony diamonds on to Shady, and Shady wants the real stuff. Albert Saxby tries to rescue Shady Tree in the same manner but gets there too late.
** Blofeld has the real Willard Whyte locked up in Whyte's own desert hideaway. As he's trying to impersonate Whyte over a long period of time, this makes sense as [[AsYouWish there are things that only Whyte would know]].

* GamblerGroupies: A man is gambling at a Las Vegas casino with a beautiful woman named Plenty O'Toole at his side. Unfortunately he loses all his money, so she dumps him and latches on to James Bond.

* ClothingCombat: In the opening sequence, Bond strangles a woman with her own bikini top.

** Bond squeezes Wint's groin while tying his hands and the bomb together with his coattails, causing Wint to squeal with delight before he has a chance to realize that he's screwed.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: {{Inverted}} concerning the diamond smuggling ring. When one of your own passes you fake diamonds, he knows too much about the circumstances to die. This is demonstrated when Shady Tree rescues James Bond (who had assumed the identity of Peter Franks, a fellow diamond smuggler who Bond had killed) from a retort to question him about where he hid the real diamonds, only for Bond to use leverage against him to the tune of $50,000 ("You bring me the real money, and I'll bring you the real diamonds."), and then {{Zig Zagged|Trope}} when Albert R. Saxby reminds Wint and Kidd that they "didn't get the real diamonds. So we need Tree, alive." Wint and Kidd remark on how "that's most annoying" because they had already cut Tree down, as revealed when Bond shows up in his dressing room.

* ConveyorBeltODoom: Bond is knocked out, placed in a coffin, and conveyed into an incinerator at a Vegas-style funeral parlor.

* CoolGuns: An Oerlikon 20mm cannon is used by Blofeld's agents during the oil rig battle.

* CreepyMonotone: The guy counting down the satellite in the final scene.

* ExpospeakGag: Q demonstrated his slot machine tampering gizmo to Tiffany Case, that is until she got up and followed a lady holding a Persian cat.

* GemEncrusted: The KillSat itself.
%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* AGlassOfChianti: 007 defeats Wint and Kidd using his knowledge of fine wines. Earlier in the film, he identifies the vintage of a sherry by taste. When sarcastically told sherry doesn't have vintages, he states that he meant the wine the sherry was made from, possibly setting up Bond's superior knowledge of wine for later.

* GrapplingHookPistol: Bond uses an almost plausible gun that fires pitons. How it's able to pierce the building when it travels as relatively slow as it does and support Bond's weight is anybody's guess.

** After using a piton-shooting device to mantle himself up into Whyte's penthouse, then being required to remove his firearm before proceeding, Bond is faced with Blofeld and an imposter. After [[WrongGenreSavvy trying to pick the right one]] he uses his piton-firing device to [[BoomHeadshot kill his target]].

** From the opening credits: What's that between a woman's legs? Blofeld's RightHandCat...

* WrongGenreSavvy:
** Bond meets Blofeld and a decoy. Not knowing which is which, he scares the cat and kills the one the cat runs into. It turns out the cat was a decoy too.
--->'''Blofeld:''' Right idea, Mister Bond.\\
'''Bond:''' But wrong pussy!
** Bond suspects an elevator he was forced into to have a trapdoor, so he backs right up against the wall. Unfortunately he's gassed instead. [[note]]However, doing so in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' would turn out to be the correct thing to do[[/note]]

PlayedWith. Bond comes up to his room with , strips her down to her very bare essentials, she excuses herself to "freshen up" but a band of mooks restrain him and drop her out the window. She lands in the hotel pool wearing nothing but her panties and her high heels. A mook later remarks that he didn't know there was a pool. And then he goes into the bedroom to find Tiffany Case scantily clad in the bed.

* PrettyInMink: Tiffany is covered by a white fox throw in one scene.
