Oil Rig Attack

About This Movie

So, 'Oil Rig Attack' is a curious little documentary that dives into the nitty-gritty of that infamous sequence from 'Diamonds are Forever.' It showcases the unused footage of the landing frogmen, which honestly adds a layer of intrigue to the whole Bond narrative. The atmosphere is a bit gritty, fitting the high stakes of the oil rig setting. You get a glimpse of those practical effects that were apparently deemed too much for the final cut. The pacing might feel a bit uneven, but it works because it’s almost like piecing together a puzzle. It’s not your standard doc – more like a peek behind the scenes, showing how much was left on the cutting room floor. Worth a look for Bond aficionados, for sure.
