My great grandfather was an extra in this scene..just happened to be on his anniversary trip while the movie was being filmed!

Anyone else appreciates the fabulous neon of 70s vegas - especially the iconic golden nugget sign ?.

This scene is amazing. From how the scenes were recorded to the car stunts, and the chase itself, this is very impressive for 1971.

Fun fact..... the stunt man who did the jump from the parking lot over the parked cars was Bill Hickman.... the same stunt driver who drove the Charger in Bullitt and the Pontiac in The French Connection. He was called in because the previous stunt driver couldn’t do it and totaled all the Mustangs except one, so he was called in and did it in one take with the last Mustang they had left.

Drove my 1972 Mach I (same color/trim as the 71) to Vegas from LA in 1989 after purchasing from original owner. He bought brand new in late 71, liked the one from the bond movie. I drove through Fremont and the surrounding streets. Now it's all walkway with overhead awning and lights, over crowded and overbuilt. Glad I went when I did. Ironically my parents took us kids there in late 71 and we stayed at Circus Circus, great times!.

I found it hilarious. The coppers trying to replicate Bond’s driving skills.

Best sequence of the movie. Also the infamous continuity error with the car flip.

In my opinion, one of the best car chase scenes in 007 history.

Goes into the alleyway on the passenger side tires comes out the other end on the driver side tires Love this movie saw it when I was 12 years old in 1971

Watched this with my then girlfriend at our local cinema in late 1971. The audience clapped and cheered at the end of the scene. It was that special for the early 1970s and made the Steve McQueen car chase in Bullet look mundane by comparison.😊.

To pull off the two wheels scene, the producers had to go and get the one and only Bill Hickman to do the stunt. They had three '71 Mach 1 Mustangs for the movie, two of them had the 429 Super Cobra Jet, the third had a 302. But unfortunately the regular stunt driver had crashed both of the 429 Mach 1s, so they only had one car left for the stunt.

One of the few Bond cars that actually survived the chase intact in one piece

Hundreds of spectators on the sidewalks watching the filming of the car chase. They are a forever a part of the movie.

The cop's poor betrayed face at 0:50 😭 😂 I just wanna give him a hug 🤗🤣

The red car just looks great. 🚓🚔

Such a badass Mustang.

4:07 007​ defy the laws of logic and physics before it​ was​ cool and being done by Dominic Toretto.

Bond is the only one who can do stunts in a Mustang and not hit the crowd.

4:02, it was worth a try.

I don't care what anyone says, Diamonds Are Forever is fine the way it is.

WOW, Bond in his Brand New 1971 Ford Mustang MACH 1. The Police Chief in his 1971 Ford Galaxie, and all his Deputies in their 1970 Ford Galaxie

An underrated film. And the continuity errors just add to the charm.

What in the world are those cops doing in helmets and sunglasses while in a car a night? 🤣

Having watched this scene, I've finally understood the level of parody in the car chases and car destruction orgies that they created for the 'Blues Brothers' film.

I was on a history walking tour of Fremont Street in Las Vegas recently, and the guide showed us one of the casinos where behind all the new facade you could still see some of the old signage of The Mint casino which features in this clip.

RIP Sean Connery!

Classic Connery at his charismatic best love this car chase.

Shame the Mach 1 doesn't get mentioned that often one of Bonds coolest cars that wasn't an Aston Martin right up there with the Esprit submarine

R.I.P. Sir Sean Connery († 31. 10. 2020) 50th Anniversary of *"Diamonds Are Forever"* (1971 - 2021)

This is definitely my favourite scene in this bond film

That was brilliant. I vividly remember this from going to the movie theater with my father when I was just a kid.

71年型フォードマスタング好きでしたね〜🎥🤔😃

wasn't till years later you notice how many times they pass the golden nugget

Many years on and the Ford Mustang Mach 1 remains our favoured of the Bond carriages.

The continuity error at the end is hilarious, especially the way they panned in on Sean Connery as he was bending the laws of physics to get out of that tight alley

R.I.P. sir Sean Connery :(

When you want to keep the wear on your tyre walls even on both sides.

It's like watching GTA 😁.

0:53 why you dirty ma-

Jill St. John plays the perfect Vegas Showgirl.

When Vegas was Vegas.

"There goes that son-of-a-bitchin' saboteur!": you gotta love it.

This scene was actually filmed with the car on it's right wheels, but when exiting the alley, the car is on its left wheels. This was a mistake by the stunt crew and Since the filmmakers couldn't just mirror the shot due to the signs and billboards, they added that shot of tiffany looking scared, but they pan over to bond, which is the car switching tires. Even with that blunder this is an excellent stunt that is amazing and the mistake never really bothers me.

My favourite film series....james bond and mission impossible.

My brother was in the Air Force stationed at Nellis AFB back in the 1970s. I was in the AF too and took leave to spend a month there in Vegas with him. We happened to catch the movie and of course, we were familiar with Vegas. A lot of Bond's driving route in the streets would have been impossible in real life but with cut scenes looked possible. Same goes with an Elvis movie, Viva Las Vegas, filmed a few years earlier. All the casinos seen in the movie are very much gone now. Since my last time in Vegas was in 1985, I obviously would not recognize anything today.

Was the actor playing the Sheriff in this movie also the Louisiana State Trooper that fell in the water at Miller's Bridge during the boat chase in Live and Let Die? They sure do look alike.

Connery best bond ever!!!

I took my soon-to-be wife on a date to see this. At the end of it, she said, I'll probably still marry you but don't ever ask me to see a James Bond movie again. She was sort of joking, we got married and it lasted about 25 years. Later, I moved to Las Vegas and there was no mention anywhere on Fremont Street or downtown LV that the city wanted to remember this lame example of a James Bond movie :) But several years later, I found a sale in a "going out of business" store on Sahara Ave in Las Vegas and bought about 10 of the Bond DVD's. Not sure where they ended up.

I actually prefer this Mustang over the one in Bullitt. Crazy I know.

Not the most mind blowing car chase ever, but at least it had a great looking car.

I like James Bond movie. I love Las Vegas. Want to go there.

Best Bond car chase R.I.P Sean Conery

This predates Tomorrow Never Dies by almost 30 years, but Bond's car here looks SO much slicker than that horrid dated BMW he uses in TND

James Bond in 60 seconds

Did you know the scene at 4.00 was a blooper. When the car enters the alley, the car is tilted to the right, then when they drive out, it is tilted to the left. According to Guy Hamilton, the scene was filmed when he drives out of the alley first. then he had to go back to London. So the producer Chubby Broccoli had to take over but he had forgotten to tell how the car had gone off.

I just spent the evening on Fremont Street, still very recognizable for film fans.

AMT just released the Mustang Mach 1 and Police Interceptor model kits for 2023.

It’s like Bond in GTA

They'd originally reshot the tight alleyway exit but they decided to reshoot it due to an observing crowd being visble on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, they'd shot the car exiting on it's left set of wheels rather than the right. Kudos to the film makers for including that close up shot inside the car just before the exit, though. It may not show Bond flip the car off another ramp to get it on the left set of wheels but it at least implies it.

Running a red sports car at full speed on main street (fully crowded) in Las Vegas, plus screeching tires and a platoon of police cars behind in full tilt boogie mode ...I d say double O seven forgot his "secret agent" training just a little here.

This was the best part of Diamonds are Forever

No way near being the best episode in the series, at least this one has it's less serious moments : in so many words "a guilty pleasure"!.

3:59 right wheels -> 4:10 left wheels 🤣 so bad

Hah - he starts out with the car running on the passenger side and ends up with it being on the drivers. Nice editing folks. LOL

When the mustang and police go into the parking lot it kinda looks like blues brothers .

You got us into this parking lot! Get us out of it!

Bond just inverted the laws of physics to pull off that alley way drive through....respect

You don't see stunts like that anymore.

Ahhh!! those 1960s gas-guzzlers with springs like bubble-gum, and handling like a demented cow! No wonder the cops never catch him. As for the alley stunt, easily explained. The bodywork's so flexible, the Mustang could easily have squeezed up side-to-side like a concertina, flipped without touching the walls, then opened up again. Simples! I'm glad that, on our visit to the States a few years ago, the cars had got a bit more sensible and driveable! Else I'd never have made my exit off the Baltimore Beltway...

Awsome bond girl & song

Near all of that OLD Vegas is gone...

Ha. They had to film a switch close up, because the stunt team screwed up and filmed the car coming out the wrong side up. Which is impossible. But whatever. Larry couldn’t do it.

Mustang VS LasVegas Cops!

No CGI Kinetic Action HORSESH*T.....Real Cars Real Vegas....DAMN I MISS the '70s

Another night on the beat for the Vegas police 😂. I have a soft spot for this Bond film since it was the first one I saw with my father when I was ten.

My absolute favorite Bond chase scene EVAH!!!!

Could happen (LOL) and love the portrait of Vegas cops.

Really appreciate no adverts 👍

Cool scene, anybody know what happened to that red Mustang after the movie? Is it still around?

It was two years later that the great Roger Moore took over Sean connerys place as the next MI6 agent 007 James Bond

Plenty O'Toole is my favorite Bond girl, along with Naomi from "Spy"

Bond says lean over at the end but which way?? Great bond film and great fun for everyone.

Mustang is the only modern-looking car in this whole scene. And '71 Vegas looks like a dead-ringer for '95 downtown Reno.

Man those RADIAL Tirez really do the trick.....

Bond, James Bond.

Bond Defeats Physics!

amazing Bond movies ;)

@4:07 makes me laugh every time.

00 Bonding, says, "Double owe 7th Heaven", 4 ever!

These rear wheel drive cars has really bad roadholding. They skid and sway and can´t get the grip. But of course, directors love it!

Great driving by Bill Hickman my favorite type of Ford Vehicles the old percursers to the LTDs and part of the Mustang family in my favorite city and early Las Vegas History where you can’t drive up and down Fremont Street anymore and Clark County SO is no longer an agency and early Las Vegas PD before the two merged and became Metro Las Vegas PD

The thing I noticed in this movie was the exterior set where bond does his outdoor climbing was designed to look like the building owned by Hughes - seen in the background at the gas station - but has no similarity to the 'Whyte House' where the penthouse is. I guess the set department designed the right set but the filming locations got changed.

so that is where the idea for the Driver 1 intro came from.

So this is where the solo movie got that one scene from

Watch 007 on the Sunday night movie next on abc

007 ✔ viva las vegas e o que acontece em vegas fica em vegas 🔴

The mark 1 is on 2 different wheels when it comes out of the ally

Bruh I was just in Vegas and had no idea I was walking in the middle of where a 007 car chase once happened🤣

Notice that the Union Plaza is under construction.

I still rank this movie pretty low on number 14 of my list but I do think it is a bit underrated
