The movie's actual ending of Connery dispatching the two assassins on the ocean liner sort of made up for the cheapskate oil rig battle.
A similar technique appears to have been used with Battle Of Britain. Some sort of cell animation overlay would follow a shot down, smoking plane and then it would suddenly explode using those quick cuts. When the two assassins despatch the dentist at the start of the movie, there's a Huey chopper they load with a substituted bomb instead of the diamonds. Kidd and Wint watch it lift off and start to fly away until it suddenly explodes. That was a proper explosion. My dad took me to see it at the cinema when I was a kid, and the sound of that chopper going bang was actually loud enough to make me jump - if God had wanted man to fly . . . he would have given him wings . . . Those two were actually quite memorable thugs. As in, "I must say, Miss Case is quite attractive . . . for a lady!" If looks could kill. DAF was my very first Bond and when they walked off holding hands, having downed that chopper, I remember thinking the kiddie version of WTF?
My favorite Kidd and Wint moment is when they've got Bond and dumped him into the sewage pipe at the construction site (Bond smells a rat - "one of us smells like a tart's handkerchief . . . sorry old boy, it's me") Anyway, there's that scene were the partners in more than crime are chuckling to themselves as they drive away. It's so hammy and artificial the way they're doing it, it's actually funny.

I wish James Bond had sunk the oil rig in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER.
The intended big battle scene for the oil rig was supposed to have Marines (dropped from the helicopters) assault the oil rig for a big battle like in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, but everything was scaled back so the studio could pay Sean Connery's record-breaking contract. The special effects of the exploding helicopters was amateurish and awful. This really was a disappointing semi-end to Connery's return as 007.

Yeah. That oil rig thing was just awful.
But I loved the sting as 096 had never actually seen the henchman:
" that's quite a potent after shave you're wearing. I smelled it twice before and both times I smelled a rat".
