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.
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.
He 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.
