After traveling the world in his quest to kill Blofeld in revenge for the murder of his wife, Tracy, superspy James Bond returns to England only to discover he has another job waiting for him. A huge amount of diamonds have been stolen from the South African mines and two [[Camp Gay]] assassins are killing everyone in the smuggling ring ladder, rung by rung.

 

Parts of the first ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie are a direct spoof of ''Diamonds Are Forever'', including the Las Vegas setting and the casino sequence, the miniature models displaying the reach of the villain's businesses, and the [[Room Disservice]] sneak-attack against the hero at the end of the film.

 

* [[Actually a Doombot]]: Blofeld has been using plastic surgery to turn henchmen into doubles to fool Bond. It works, and Bond kills two of them mistaking them for the real deal, plus a third in the first scene who is in between procedures.

** [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Or, he killed the ''real'' Blofeld and the other just took over the operation, deciding he likes being the boss. Hell, he might even have been the second guy Bond killed, and the ''other'' other Blofeld took over from ''him''. There's even a fan theory that ''all'' of them were doubles, and the one from ''[[For Your Eyes Only (film)|For Your Eyes Only]]'' was the real one from ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service]]'', since the injuries are identical.

** The lab was creating doubles of Blofeld. The real Blofeld wasn't actually in that scene.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Willard Whyte for Howard Hughes (in fact, the plot emerged from a dream Broccoli had, where he went visiting his friend Hughes and an impostor was there instead).

* [[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]]: Between [[On Her Majesty's Secret Service|the last movie]] and this one, Blofeld somehow usurped Willard Whyte's vast empire, and suddenly...

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Tiffany is covered by a white fox throw in one scene.

* [[You Look Familiar]]: Charles Gray (Blofeld) earlier played a British agent in ''[[You Only Live Twice]]''.
