White Fire (also known as Vivre Pour Survivre and Le Diamant) is a 1984 French-American-Italian-Turkish action film by Jean-Marie Pallardy. It stars Belinda Mayne, Robert Ginty, Fred Williamson, Gordon Mitchell and Jess Hahn.[1][2][3][4] The title song of the film is White Fire, sung by rock group Limelight.
Plot
[edit]Bo (Ginty) and Ingrid (Mayne), respectively brother and sister, employees at a diamond mineshaft company, stumble upon the discovery of a legendary diamond, the "White Fire", and a band of criminals set out to take it from them.
In popular culture
[edit]In 2015, the film was featured on an episode of Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst, together with Future War and The Jar. The panelists criticized the film’s heavy and persistent incestuous overtones, referring to it as “…a 91-minute treatise on incest couched in a heist movie.” [5] The segment of the episode focusing on White Fire includes clips from the film in which Bo (Ginty) utters lines of dialogue such as, “It’s a pity you’re my sister,” upon seeing Ingrid (Mayne) naked. Ingrid is subsequently murdered, and Bo later meets a woman who bears a striking resemblance to her (also played by Mayne) and enters into a romantic relationship with her.
