#JamesBond #DiamondsAreForever
Thank you to everyone who joined this special watch-along! Happy #BlackHistoryMonth & may progress continue to be made no matter the era! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
The setup is perfect for Baron Samedi to haunt Bond as he searches for a man with a golden gun. But no, they brought back the racist sheriff instead! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
As is customary in Guy Hamilton Bond films, a villain returns for one last bout! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
The worst death for a main villain ever in a #JamesBond film! 😂😂😂 #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Beatles producer George Martin continues weaving the theme excellently throughout! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Roger’s wardrobe is among his very best as #JamesBond. However, the racial dynamics play with this scene & this plot. Sorry to Jane Seymour, but Solitaire should’ve been played by a black actress. There’d be a lot less issues in the modern day. #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Credit to Jane Seymour for surviving a snake that went toward her while no one was watching. #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Roger Moore does much of his own driving & was among his first scenes filmed as #JamesBond. #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Tommy Lane’s Adam reaches his end! Such a nice suit! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
The Black Stuntman’s Association assisted on this sequence. Apparently, there were plans at one point to use white stuntman in blackface. Thank god that’s not the case here! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
We have to stop the boat chase for Sheriff J.W Pepper, the most blatant appeal to the racist white audience most resistant to a blackish #JamesBond film! Although he is technically good & Adam is technically bad, this scene is still uncomfortable! #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
One of the best scenes in all of Bond! Ross Kanaga was the owner of the crocodile farm & performed the stunt 5 times. Please go watch that footage as it’s harrowing seeing a croc tear through his shoe! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Love the setup & how we get a backstory on the CLAAAAW! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Despite all the flaws with his villain, Yaphet Kotto is quite good as Kanaga. He’s equal parts suave & menacing! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
You know Paul McCartney’s song is great when you bring it back in the middle of the film with B.J Arnau’s soulful rendition! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
A fun action sequence of the kind of car chase films popular at the time! Jane Seymour was really in the bus while it was being driven. #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
But the racial angle is most disturbing! The threat of black men bedding a white man’s woman has been a longest of tropes. This film wants a black audience, but still wants to be shown at the KKK cookout! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
It’s typical for James to get into bed with a woman close to the villain, but the framing of it is wrong on a number of levels. The gender issues, the religious issues, the age issues (he’s 45, she’s 20 or 21). #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Can’t show you the shot, but when Rosie changes, there’s photos on the back wall of white women with less. A glaring example of the film doubling back to appeal to the worst white audiences of 1973. #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
I doubt it’s a coincidence that Rosie Carver is made to be incompetent and…. #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Indiana Jones would’ve cried like a baby! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Baron Samedi! Geoffrey Holder makes a lasting impression that even brings a redux in the classics N64 Goldeneye 007. #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Tbh…I don’t get how a white face in Harlem is a good disguise! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
Julius Harris as TeeHee has always been one of my favorites. He has the perfect mischievous smile that great Bond henchmen have! And….the CLAW! #JamesBond #JamesBond007 #watch007 #Bondsky #007sky #Filmsky
