10 Most Paused James Bond Moments
10. The Wheelie - Diamonds Are Forever
During Diamonds Are Forever, Bond and Tiffany find themselves pursued by the police through Las Vegas. As our hero tries to evade the coppers, Bond approaches an alleyway too narrow for his Mustang to pass through. Defying the odds (and physics), Bond leans the car on its two right wheels so it can squeeze through.
The driver in this scene, Buzz Bundy, used a 351 chi engine-powered 71 Mach 1 to perform this move, which is known as a driver's side-high. (If you pause it, you can see the bottom of the car has been modified to help the car lean.)
Of course, the shot has also become iconic for one of the biggest blunders in the beloved franchise. Although the automobile is leaning to the right on the way into the alleyway, it is leaning to the left on the way out. The crew added in a shot of Bond rotating the vehicle in the alleyway to correct this continuity error.
However, this caused another mistake since Bond wouldn't have room to flip the car since that's why he drove into the alley on two wheels in the first place! Who would have ever thought a Bond film would be realistic?
