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 hope he said "oh no, not again" since Roger Moore was in a pipe behind a pig in "Diamonds are forever" 15 years before.

I think that was Sean Connery in his swansong as Bond.

Yes, it's Sean Connery.

And, it's not even a pig; it's a rat!

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.

Or in Pierce Brosnan's "The World is not Enough". They must have liked the whimsy of a pipeline vehicle.
I forgot about this scene and how much fun it was. Here it is for others’ enjoyment: https://youtu.be/9h1zn7l86HA
