Mr Wint and Mr Kidd - "If God Had Wanted Man To Fly"

Mr Wint and Mr Kidd kill a diamond smuggler, blow-up a helicopter, then walk off holding hands.

YESSS.IT'S THEIR Signature melody.Very Sly, deceptive, Sneaky.Crispin's dad(mr. Wint of course) is brilliantly quirky and sinister. Luv this movie, even with outdated "FX". Great characters make up for technical deficiencies; Wint & Kidd, Bambi & Thumper, Blofeld and of course the real sausage guy, Jimmie Dean of the breakfast sausage of the same name as "Willard Whyte" somehow cast in this movie. Great stuff.

Bruce Glover said in an interview that he was told to act like Peter Lorre when playing Mr. Wint. Putter Smith on the other hand just acted like himself, since this was his first movie. It worked out pretty well for both.

[@unhooked25]

In Diamonds Are Forever here's these two off beat assassins Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd whom were gay, deadly but funny. In fact they were over half the excitement of the show. Like the way they had their own tune that played every time you saw them.

[@PaulRietvoorn]

Yeah. I love it when characters have their own themes. Oddjob, Nick Nack and Necros also have their own themes, to name just a few.

[@PaulRietvoorn]

this is one of the best themes in the Bond-series in my opinion.

[@54blewis]

I agree,arguably the smoothest and yet the most sinister theme in the James Bond repertoire, and perhaps the most accurate motif for a villain(s) in the series..

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

The way you keep saying hardcore in quotations makes me think it's related to some comment that I'm not seeing here. Anyway I didn't think the whole movie was campy, mostly just the scenes with these two. I actually prefer this type of Bond movie than the new ones with Daniel Craig. Not that they are bad, it just doesn't seem very Bond-esque to me. The Rodger Moore era was when these movies really became over the top, like that scene where he's driving around in half a car.

[@hamishwhitehenderson5197]

When I watched these two at about the age of 10, I was just about starting to realise that I was gay, and the scene of two men walking off into the sunset holding hands was probably the first time I saw a gay person on film- sure they'd just killed a guy by putting a scorpion down the back of his shirt, but everyone in James Bond films did sadistic shit like that- Bond most of all ("Guess he just didn't have the guts!" seems to stand out). This was still probably my first experience of homosexuality as more than just a vague concept, and for that reason, I thank you for uploading it and their other scenes.

[@FoodForThought356]

Hello :)

[@anton1990]

They had the creepiest theme of any Bond henchmen ever!!!

[@JulianSirian]

For me...the best villains in the entire franchise (and yes, I'm including Blofield, Jaws, Alec Trevelyan, Sanchez and Silva) And the fact that they have a signature tune makes it more compelling. Great suff (wasn't fussed on the movie, but these two are great)

[@spenser9908]

This film came out around New Years Eve not very long after the Stonewall riots in the Village made Gay Liberation a thing just before the global AIDS epidemic. You don't see any Gay Bond villains anymore of course because all Gay guys have to be sympathetically portrayed as nice people today in Hollywood rather than as prison rapists and Nazi Brown Shirts. Fashions in film censorship come and go.

[@HellqueenRoz]

@@jimscribner8314 Silva in Skyfall was all but openly implied to be either bisexual or homosexual. There's a part in the scene where he first meets Bond where very suggestively touches Bond's thigh. It's not really about whether gay men are bad or good, now it can just be something that is another part of the characters.

Daniel Mitchell it’s all good man but Zorin was a good villain in a weaker James Bond film and it was opposite for Zorin as was a stronger villain but had henchmen that didn’t do much for the movie like Scarpine and Dr Mortimer where Mr Wint and Mr Kidd were stronger henchmen then the main villain Blofeld himself in Diamonds Are Forever at least more memorable.
