I have known about this one for a long time now and didn’t make a post.
Lately, someone recommended it to me again and I re-watched the scene and decided to make a blog post about it.
After all, it does have enough good aspects in it π

I tuned the video a little bit and made it a bit brighter.
Ok, these awful fake close-ups are really uncool and I am not even 100% sure if there was a female diver involved at all (female/male stunt double?).
I guess at least one of the two actors couldn’t do a close-up shot underwater… so they faked them like in “For Your Eyes Only”.
But the scene has some great vintage gear and a cool underwater vehicle as well.
Plus the overall criminal plot is pretty cool!
I mean they derailed a wagon with explosives, it fell off a bridge and they recovered it underwater.
A shame the police weren’t prepared better, as they were monitoring the train.
In my version, they would have sent some (female) police divers down there and the two had to fight them π
Also, the criminal mastermind Diabolik with all his masks and disguises would be female … so she would also fit perfectly for my other blog.

Wanna know the name of the movie?

I agree, the idea for the scene is cool. The equipment too. There are few scenes with underwater vehicles. The execution is terrible. Sometimes I feel like underwater scenes in movies are a necessary evil.
Yeah, if they don’t hire a real expert for such stuff… they often don’t get the result they should have gotten.
Wikipedia says they faked the mask closeups dry in front of an aquarium.
So this video you posted isnβt really in the movie but is only in the pre-title sequence according to Wiki.?
Thanks.

Well, however fake these close-ups are, they are still part of the movie. This all happens near the end of the movie.
