I will always associate pipe pigs with the opening scenes of Living Daylights where they exfiltrate a defector through a gas pipeline. Ridiculous but memorable.

- ggm 3y agoI hope he said "oh no, not again" since Roger Moore was in a pipe behind a pig in "Diamonds are forever" 15 years before.
- Hard_Space 3y ago> I always remember my friend who works in VFX telling me he spent all week working on James Bond riding a pig. Which gave me some high hopes for the movie! I think that was Sean Connery in his swansong as Bond.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoYes, it's Sean Connery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPMpzpUq8xs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPMpzpUq8xs

- classichasclass 3y agoHe meets a rat in that scene (with a nice callback to it in the epilogue), but he shorts out the welding pig to attract service personnel to get him out. Diamonds is a flawed movie and one of the weirdest Bonds, but it's my favourite because it's so weird.
