bensonmum2 I save the 1/10 rating for movies that are so bad they offend me in some way. Diamond Connection is one such movie. It's an absolute cowpie of a movie with an incomprehensible plot (I'm not even going to bother going into it), poor acting, questionable character motivation, amateurish direction, horrible editing, murky cinematography, laughable sound effects, and an 80s soundtrack that will make you want to rip your ears off. It may only be 73 minutes, but it feels more like 173 minutes with half the runtime being padded with pointless chase scenes. It's a chore to sit through. Diamond Connection is a mess. The film does include three "names" in its cast. Poor old Gordon Mitchell is made to look ridiculous in a Middle-Eastern keffiyeh. William Berger looks like he'd rather be anywhere but here. Finally, there's Euro-fav Barbara Bouchet. She's easily the best actor in the bunch and the lone bright spot, but even she can't save this dire disaster from being one of the absolute worst movies I've encountered.

gridoon2018 Sorsimus is generally right. By any objective standards, "The Diamond Connection" is a pretty bad film. The script is incoherent and the action sequences are poorly staged (including one of the least satisfying car chases and one of the least satisfying catfights ever). The "special effects" of the plane crash are positively embarrassing. But at least it moves fast enough and I was never actually bored with it. It also offers the chance to see that Barbara Bouchet was aging quite gracefully in the 1980's. Speaking of the 1980's, fans of that glorious decade will appreciate the music score, as well as the disco and aerobics sequences! *1/2 out of 4.

Sorsimus Abysmal Swiss "action adventure"- film.A handful of diamonds are lost in a plane crash that belong to a middle east revolutionary group. A bunch of people try to recover the gems from the underwater wreck and subsequently fight for the possession of the precious stones.No script, bad acting (surprisingly including Barbara Bouchet), no rhytm, no nothing. Bad eighties score, no sets, no set pieces, no costumes. Unbelievably badly staged plane crash with a model plane.Way too boring to be entertaining.Released on video in Finland in the eighties.
