The Villain: Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big
Who Played Him: Yaphet Kotto
The Film: Live and Let Die
Why So Bad: Dr. Kananga is one mean dude. With voodoo magic at his disposal, he is definitely one of the scarier Bond villains. As we learn, Kananga, a heroin grower, and Mr. Big, a heroin distributor, turn out to be one and the same. He has one master plan in mind (and this one is a doozy): he wants to corner the drug market by making heroin available to everyone, thus getting them addicted. Riiiiight. At the end of the film Bond and girlie sidekick Solitaire (Jane Seymour) are captured by Kananga, who tries to feed him to the sharks. Bond, however, makes Kananga swallow a compressed air pellet until he explodes. Boom.
Best Line: “Tee-hee, on Solitaire's first wrong answer, you will snip the little finger of Mr. Bond's left hand. On the next wrong answer, you will move on to more vital parts of his anatomy.”
