The Villain: Oddjob
Who Played Him: Harold Sakata
The Film: Goldfinger
Why So Bad: As Goldfinger’s top henchman, Oddjob never says much, just a few nods and grunts here and there -- but that’s OK, he doesn’t have to. He is menacing enough as is. Oddjob prefers to slice folks up using his super-sharp bowler hat but comes up with other innovative ways to kill them when the mood strikes (i.e., spray painting a woman with gold paint until she suffocates). He is Goldfinger's chauffeur, bodyguard, caddy, and anything else his boss needs him for (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). But even this enterprising killer is no match for Bond. In their final confrontation, Bond gets the upper hand when he electrocutes Oddjob in an impressive death scene. When asked, "Where's your butler friend?" Bond replies, "Oh, he blew a fuse.”
Best Line: “Aha!”
