23 Diamonds Are Forever
Two of the three common questions regarding this film arise from editing,
one from questionable writing.
First, when Blofeld calls for Burt Saxby we see Bond mimicking his voice to
fool Blofeld. However, after Bond shows up, so does Saxby. How did the real
Saxby know where and when to show up? Perhaps someone can find out that
answer, as the FAQ has not located a credible one.
Another frequent inquiry is how Plenty O'Toole ended up at Tiffany Case's
California home. After being thrown in the Tropicana hotel pool in Las
Vegas, Plenty sneaks back into the room and goes through Tiffany's purse,
finding her address, as Bond and she keep occupied. This scene was edited
out of the movie before it was released making it confusing. This does not
explain WHY Plenty would want to get that far involved.
Lastly, when Bond's car goes in the alley on the right set of wheels it
comes out on the left set. This is a flat out mistake. The filmmakers
attempted to correct this error by interspersing a close-up of Bond and
Tiffany as the car tilts from one side to the other. However, this should
still be impossible considering the width of the alley.
