GOLDFINGER | Bond faces off against Oddjob

- Bond faces off against Oddjob in the vaults of Fort Knox in GOLDFINGER (1964). The crew weren’t allowed to film in the actual gold depository in the US. Director Guy Hamilton said, “We realised it was probably really dull inside anyhow. So I said to designer Ken Adam, ‘You know, nobody’s ever been in Fort Knox, so we can design anything and nobody can prove us wrong’.”
0:31 Seriously, if you’re in a fight with someone and throw a gold brick at him and he just smiles at you as it bounces off his ribs, you should probably start running.
See when he does that smile, right? He reminds me of Charles Bronson in his cheeky roles, stuff like Mr Majestyk.
Conversely, if you're ever in a fight with a man who can THROW a gold brick as easily and as far as Bond did - also consider running !
No shit sherlock.
First of all, If I had a gold brick, I wouldn't be on the mood for fights. Secondly, it would be quite unusual to have a gold brick laying around waiting to be thrown, wouldn't it?
No where to run.
It's quite telling that the first time in any of this Oddjob actually shows any sign of concern is when Bond reaches for the hat.
"You giving me the high hat?!"
He actually looks like he is enjoying himself and treats 007 as a toy.
@@ac725 Doesn't regard Bond as a threat at all. His hat on the other hand ...
a peaky blinder is scarier than a pocketknife shoe
I do believe that those from the orient regarded their weapons with such high respect, that they feared their weapon being in the hand of their enemy. It's close to a religious belief.
Harold Sakata was such a sweetheart in real life - he left his hand on the hat while it was burning, and when the director asked why he didn't just take it off, Sakata replied
"You didn't say "cut"!"
Olympic Silver Medalist in wrestling too!
Hard to believe that he would go on to become mr Fuji in the wwf
@@shawnkauffman5248 Wrong guy. Harry Masayoshi Fujiwara was Mr. Fuji and Oddjob was played by Toshiyuki Sakata (aka Harold Sakata). Two different people. Oh, and Oddjob the actor passed away in 1982 while Mr. Fuji passed in 2016.
@@generalawareness101 I think that's a r/whooosh but i'm not sure
Also, check out some pics. He appears to have been a really nice guy. There are pics of him and Tania Mallet hamming it up, goofing around! Soooo happy those pictures exist! Tilly’s death is probably the saddest Bond Girl death ever!
RIP Harold Sakata (July 1, 1920 - July 29, 1982), aged 62
And
RIP Sir Sean Connery (August 25, 1930 - October 31, 2020), aged 90
You both will be remembered as legends.
Interesting. I share my July 1 birthday with Harold. My late fathers birthday was July 29, Harold's death day. And we were/are big fans of Oddjob and the Goldfinger movie.
finally some decent comment
Wherever they are; I hope they’re resting at ease!
Boy, Sakata died young...
They'll probably still be playfighting in heaven right now! Either that or playing golf together whilst Oddjob keeps crushing golf balls. There was a chemistry between Bond and Oddjob in this film as you knew it was inevitable they'd be fighting. Still one of my fav fight scenes just for it's purity and Oddjob toying with his prey. Second best may have to be Bond against Dwayne's grandfather in YOLT at the beginning in Osato's headquarters. "Good evening..."
Oddjob was really committed. You hardly find staff like that these days.
So were Nick Nack, Tee-Hee, Gobinda, and, before their bosses betrayed them, Jaws and May Day.
He really loved his work.
I’d gladly work for Frank Scorpio, “You Only Move Twice”
The Simpson’s 😁
There is a real lack of standards these days .We live in sad times
Necros
This has to be one of the creepiest fight scenes ever made. Oddjob just smiles for most of the fight no matter what Bond throws at him. The guy was literally a human tank. Goldfinger is one of the few films where Bond could have been easily finished off on several occasions.
And that is why "bond villain" is now an all-encompassing term for bad guys who don't kill the hero when they have the chance
@@mihneaiordan1813 To be fair, Oddjob has decent reason for not doing so. He doesn't have to kill Bond - he just has to delay him from disarming the bomb.
@@TheAwesomeDarkNinja Oddjob literally did nothing to Bond the entire fight i was embarrassing to watch. Looked like they were lovers not enemies...
@@mariolisa2832 What kind of relationship are you on for you to think they looked like lovers.
@@mariolisa2832 you can clearly see that odd job was just preventing bond from diffusing the bomb. If you don't think that then I don't know what film you are watching
I love how there is no overdramatic score in the background just simply the scene alone. Silence works sometimes.
And you have the ticking of the bomb!
John Barry was not only the consummate composer, he always knew just precisely where to “spot” the film for music.
Thank you!! WAY too much emphasis on soundtracks today! Many times, the noise/music overpowers the dialog. Its like Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies. When the voices are loud enough to hear, then the music comes in loud enough to wake the dead, not to mention the 2 year old you just got to sleep......
Oddjob was a dedicated employee of Goldfinger. You have to give him credit for his loyalty. You can take your hat off for him but don't let him take his hat off for you.
Yeah, I think Oddjob is the most loyal henchman in Bond history. Even though Goldfinger betrayed him and trapped him with the bomb, Oddjob is still fighting to ensure that his master's plan succeeds.
Oddjob had the odd job of assassinating enemies. He was good at it.
If you ever have a sudden urge to feel like a shitty employee, watch oddjob in this movie 😂
Lol
😂
Oddjob perfected the "Henchman Where the Normal Laws of Pain Do Not Apply" element in the Bond series. A most welcome addition.
Agreed. He succeeded where Jaws failed
Qasim Hussain well he kinda failed when he betrayed his boss (Drax). I think he failed as a character because he was written as unkillable. Whereas Odd Job, although impervious to pain, was still killed by Bond outsmarting him.
@@bille5960 that and Oddjob wasn't turned into a joke after his first appearance
I wonder if this is also one of the first instances of a henchman that spends his time throwing our hero around instead of killing him, until he can come up with a way to beat him.
Begbie did on ok job
Apparently, the actor who played Oddjob actually burned his hand when Bond electrocuted him, but the actor powered through it! GOOD stuntman!
He also hit Connery so hard he soiled his pants and refused to go back on set until Oddjob's actor had been spoken to
Powered through! 😂 Excellent choice in words my friend.
@@royalhero4608 Never knew Connery punked out in this classic.This is why I enjoyed Craig's performance in Casino Royale along with Brosnan in Die Another Day both proved they could deal with physical punishment from the opposition.
So his screaming was legit when he was electrocuted
@@garethjennings7192 How come Bond didn't burn his hand in this scene??????
Love how Oddjob just shrugs off having a gold brick thrown at him with a smile, and Bond was like “oh shit...”
Yup and standard gold bricks r just shy of 13kg (28 pounds) imagine that shit a 25 pound weight hitting u in a tiny section of ur body
Or when Bond tried to break Oddjobs arm on the corner of the wall and he just smiled at Bond.
And later in the fight, when Bond picks up Oddjob's had, its Oddjob's turn to take the fight seriously.
Bond threw his best punches at the guy too and he just laughed them off. The guy was a beast.
this is one of my favorite fight scenes of all time. mostly because of how quiet it is. no over the top foley smack sounds for the punches. just a lot of scuffling. and the way bond leaps at him at the start - almost like dancing.
0:58 0:58
I think the only two others that jump out for me. One is the deadly fight in the tiny elevator in Diamonds Are Forever - wonderfully filmed. And the one that tops the all is the grim battle in the train compartment with Red Grant (Robert Shaw, old man) in FRWL.
@@Vlad65WFPReviews let's not forget Bambi and Thumper giving him a good thrashing in DAF. ua-cam.com/video/JvWUDZDyFBE/v-deo.htmlsi=A7zxnmygSvjOzHbP
Instead of being all fancy it's just a simple, good old-fashioned brawl between an unstoppable force and an immovable object
The lack of music and obnoxious punching effects really adds to the scene
this feels like a horror movie fight to me
When your little brother violates the "no Oddjob" clause of the internationally agreed upon Goldeneye multiplayer conduct standards.

Too short. Hitbox is like 20% smaller and lower than everybody else. Jaws is the opposite.
This is Goldfinger, Godeneye is 30 years later

@@ruodanxu3344 1994, to be exact. That was Pierce Brosnan's first appearance as 007, James Bond. He would be in 3 more 007 movies. Tomorrow never dies, The world is not enough, and Die another day, I believe. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
1:46 - Oddjob is thinking "Aww, isn't that cute? He's trying to break my arm."
ActionCom Its like a 5 yr old trying to tackle his father.
Lol
Like having a Shi Tzu attack your ankle, it's amusing.
Karate chopped the crap out of bond, must have been hard strikes Bond was a mess
That smile Oddjob gives him after chopping the wooden pole is priceless :D
Apparently the actor's hand was actually badly burned during that death scene, but he held on until the director yelled cut. Talk about dedication - not to mention he must be actually yelling in pain
He also injured Connery badly, as he was trying too hard to make it realistic. Not realizing that Connery is an actor; with no background in fighting.
@@Mitjitsu They should set up a computer simulation and have Odd Job fight Bolo!!!!! That would be awesome!!!!! I sincerely doubt that Odd Job would give Bolo free opportunities to hit him like he did to Bond!!! Lol!!!
I saw a documentary about the gold depository at Fort Knox. The real vault opens onto a series of small closets off a narrow hallway. The guy in charge said the "Goldfinger" set of the interior of the vault was "very imaginative." They did an inventory of the gold bars there sometime after "Goldfinger" came out, and one of the contract laborers left a bit of graffiti on the wall of one of the closets: "Oddjob electrocuted here, 6-19-1964."
Felix: "You OK, James? Where's your butler friend?"
Bond: "Oh, he blew a fuse."
He had a shocking experience.
Frank Lesher “Positively shocking!”
"He came to a powerful realization."
He enjoyed singing opera
Odd-job got odd-jobbed in a very shocking way!
I would like to share some curious facts for the fight scene.
• Sean Connery hurt his back during the fight sequence with Harold Sakata (Oddjob) in Fort Knox. The incident delayed filming, and some say that Connery used the injury to get a better deal out of the producers for the next 007 movie.
• Harold Sakata severely burned his hand while reaching for his hat when filming his death scene, but he was determined to do it right, so he held on until director Guy Hamilton yelled "Cut".
Ooo, so the wire wasn’t actually electrocuted, but the fire from the “hot wire” was actually hot?
Probably more likely that he burned himself on all the pyrotechnics.
Makes sense - Especially as his medical insurance would increase as a result
Odd Job also went on to team with Mr Fuji to win several WWWF world tag team titles in the 1970s
@@jimmyv.495 oh yeah! He was a pro wrestler!
Lmao dude was sticking to Kayfabe even though he was getting electrical burns.
I love how oddjob just smiles and enjoys the effort from Bond.
He’s a gentleman lol
Bond gave his best and couldn’t put a dent in Oddjob, the guy was a beast
Oddjob was the toughest villain Bond ever faced. The man felt no pain and had super human strength. It took an electrocution to kill him. Badass!
And if Bond hadn't messed up Tilly Masterson's aim her high powered rife hitting Odd Job and
Goldfinger with head shots would have killed him too. And that would have ended our movie!!! Lol!!!!
Toughest villain? Ever heard of Jaws?
Yeah Jawz was pretty tough too. I think if we're Jawz up against Odd Job. Jawz would have had the advantage.
I wouldn't say toughest villain, more like the wussiest version of James Bond.
No.. That would be grant in from russia with love
At 0:44---notice how Sakata picks up Bond and effortlessly lifts him over his head. And Connery isn't a small man.
Advantages of being a wrestler and weightlifter.
Sakata was an olympics silver medallist in weight lifting for US. That was probably easy for him. :)
@@PreetSingh-pl5dv Well he did it, but I doubt it was easy, Connery was 6’3 and who knows how much pounds.
@@Grandmaster_Dragonborn probably around 200, give or take. I'm the same size as him, just a little bit bigger, and I'm 225. I could see him being around that. So no easy feat to pick him up.
Watch for the perfect Kiba Daichi stance of Sakata. A charging rhino wouldn't budge him
The only two words that Oddjob used in the film were AHA! When he "found" Goldfingers golf ball, and Arrhh! When he was being electrocuted.
There was also the scene after the car chase where he tells the henchmen to grab bond by saying "Ah!". That's pretty much it, a man of few words.
So he was one of the more chatty henchmen of the Bond sequels.
Very few words…..but one of the best villains there are.
you've spelled Arrhh wrong.
He could not speak English 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I was eight years old when this came out and my parents took me. It was my first Bond movie. My Mom even bought me the James Bond Matchbox Aston Martin DB5 with the pop up rear bullet deflector shield and passenger ejector seat. Bond fan for life here.
I had that Matchbox!
Something about the whirring and ticking of the bomb in the background really adds to the tension in this scene.
The sound in the vault room is so satisfying, ultimately nothing said but it's so tense
Yeah. Classic scene.
Music would massively reduce the nerves and tension in these sort of scenes.
I honestly don't know what you guys mean, but this was one of the most boring movie fight scenes I've ever seen in my life.
Boring?jeez it's more realistic.
Unless you are casual James Bond fan
A daniel craig type bond dude
@eating sugar no papa Compare this shit to movies from the same time, e.g. godfather and tell me that this holds up. James Bond is just glorified in Hollywood because it's a classic, not because it's particularly good.
What makes Oddjob so classic and effective is he legit looks like he could kill you and there's not a damn thing you could do to stop him. By all accounts, Harold Sakata was a legit beast and it shows. It's in his look, his swagger, the way he carries himself. It's that authenticity that really puts him over.
Around 0:40 Sakata picks up Sean Connery and just throws him like a sack of potatoes.
Dude is just a barrel of muscle on legs
Harold Sakata: 1948 Olympics - Silver Medalist in the Light-Heavyweight weightlifting class.
But Connery went over.
In Japanese Method Acting, everyone is either a Sumo wrestler, a Samurai, or a Ninja. (And I do not exclude women from any of those categories!) Oddjob was all three rolled into one!
Odd job had only two facial expressions
1. Smiling
2. About to hit
Until Bond created a new one for him
Props to Harold Sakata for his cheerful smile throughout this fight. The way he is clearly just toying with Bond, could rip him in half with no effort and brushes off everything thrown at him, he brings a wonderful sense of menace to the role. The actor started out as an Olympic medalist weight lifter and professional wrestler, so he had all the right training to play the physically dangerous villain.
And indeed, when he did the chop to Bond earlier in the film, it did legitimately floor Sean because Harold was so strong.
@@thesmithersy from what i heard, Sean was left with a broken back while shooting this scene that it delayed filming. So i think we know WHY he got a broken back 😅
Bond was outmatched in every aspect of this fight, but oddjob didn't take him seriously. That was his mistake.
Bond was more intelligent
Oddjob literally did nothing to Bond the entire fight i was embarrassing to watch. Looked like they were lovers not enemies...
@@mariolisa2832 That's because Oddjob was simply toying with Bond. Oddjob could have easily killed Bond at any turn but he just wanted to see what Bond could do, hence the smiling. Because he knew it wasn't enough.
Oddjob used more brawn than brains. That’s why he failed. There’s a reason why brains always triumph over brawn
@@RG4327- It actually makes sense if you look at it that way: Oddjob realizes they are both dead men. The bomb will get them both, and he's loyal enough to Goldfinger to give his life in order to prevent Bond from stopping Goldfinger's plan. So he doesn't have to kill Bond, just stop him from disarming the bomb. And that way, he both gratifies his sadistic desire to toy with, frustrate, and hurt Bond, and occupy himself in his last moments with something he finds amusing, rather than just sitting down and waiting for death.
Harold Sakata led a interesting life. Born in Hawaii he is the only Bond actor to compete in an Olympics, winning a Silver Medal in weightlifting at the 1948 London Games. Had a long career as a heel wrestler under the name Tosh Togo before being cast as Oddjob. Made some money doing funny Vicks cough syrup commercials but could never really escape his Oddjob persona. Badly hurt Connery when he gave him a karate chop in the opening of this movie but stayed friends with him until his death. Died in 1982 at the age of 62 from cancer.
he was also in the running man
Sorry, that was Professor Toru Tanaka, another actor and pro wrestler. Harold Sakata died in 1982, 4 years before The Running Man was filmed.@@paulf2898
@@paulf2898 Toru Tanaka.
"You ok, James? Where's your butler friend?"
"Oh, he blew a fuse."
Oddjob came to my 7th grade class back around 1974. He brought his hat for us to look at. He said that he had people on the set that practiced with him to show him how to throw the hat.
"Who throws a shoe? Honestly!" There wouldn't be Austin Powers without 007. RIP Sir Sean Connery
guys who are florida gators are known for throwing shoes
OW! That really hurt! You fight like a woman! LOL That was a hilarious scene.
Or Agent Wd40, Steele.
And the weapon to neutralize the Random Task guy proved to be efficient. Btw, the actor is imprisoned, he turned out to be a bad guy indeed.
RIP Sean Connery, the BEST Bond.
Yes, he was really the best Bond♥️👍🏼
People just say that because he was the original
@@gregorbegger9291 no he was the best. Daniel Craig is good too.
@@gregorbegger9291 Connery did more than just play Bond, he took OWNERSHIP of the role when he introduced himself in DR. NO. That introduction alone sold the series; none of the other actors considered, nor those actually offered the role (Richard Johnson, Patrick McGoohan) could have pulled that off.
And RIP Oddjob wuuuuusssshh🎩
Just imagine having this scene in a movie of today, totally drowned in overly dramatic generic music… love it just the way it is
I mean, remember the Mr Minx fight in Spectre, no music either lol
Sounds like a very old fashioned statement. A lot of the choreography changed since then and this is a much more simple style with more pauses. Music has its place and as someone who studies it most movie scores are very well done these days
Fight scenes today are much more intense but old style fight scenes are more relaxed and light hearted which in some ways more fun and more comfortable to watch
It'd be all pure CGI and Oddjob would be played by a gay penguin three race dude and there'll be 500 cuts every move.
I think, this scene is indeed pretty boring. I enjoy movies of today more.
Remember, this fight scene was *_intense_* in 1964. Be wowed, and remember to take a breath!
Nah, it was nothing compared to the train fight in From Russia With Love (1963). That set the standard for a close quarters fight for a good decade. They tried to outdo it in Goldfinger but didn't quite manage to. Kudos for giving Bond a seemingly impervious monster of a body guard to fight.
@@McLarenMercedes I would have liked to have seen Odd Job fight Red Grant!! No weapons, not guns, no knives and no hats!!!! Lol!!!!!
Yeah, it was good for 1960s.
Classic scene from a masterpiece of a film one the great bond films
I love how Oddjob just keeps on smiling when he faces Bond.
Oddjob seems like a positive guy.
Until Bond picks up the Hat
The ultimate optimist
Perhaps Bond gave him some opiates to respect the tradition.
Despite what people think, Gold is extremely heavy. Oddjob is a monster.
My best bond film.. Absolutely amazing. No matter how many times I watch this it keeps getting better
I like how there's minimal music/cutaways, kind of better than modern day fight scenes, feels more real.
How does it feel more real it’s way more slow paced, there is so much more time in between punches and it just feels to slow and all the hits look really weird because of how they shoot it
@@lildiglett2995 it's all down to personal opinion. I think that this way of filming a fight can be just as good as a modern way.
@@sonnykingcomposer true, I prefer the method of filming, I'm a big fan of fewer cuts and wider angles. That being said this fight isn't as well choreographed, probably because this was before films got fight scenes right, the way bond fell during some of the throws looked more forced, especially some times when he would randomly fall over. Classic fight, great villain and some really good moments. But this fight doesn't really hold up like the bond vs red grant or bond vs 006 fights.
John Wick borrows on the subtleties.
It feels more suspenseful because of how strong Oddjob was and audiences from the 60s were wondering if Bond's gonna die here. Nowadays it wouldn't work because there's alot of incarnations of 007.
😂 I think Bond hurling the gold bar at Odd Job was probably a more impressive feat of raw strength only matched by Odd Job shrugging it off like nothing considering the average weight of a gold bar is 27.4lbs, so Bond literally threw the equivalent of a 30lb weight one handed at Odd Job.
Almost 2x the weight of a standard men's shot put (16 lbs).
But do we really know if it’s really a gold bar? It wouldn’t have to be. It could be a bar of aluminum disguised as gold. It would have some weight, but not like gold.
@@georgew.5639 in real life it was as you said unlikely to be a good bar, probably something else rapped in gold foil or painted in metallic gold paint. But in the canon of the film it is gold and thus an impressive feat of strength.
Gold is very dense, look online to see how small a 1Kg Gold bar is. If those were real they'd be more than 10Kg+
LOL really. In real life that thing drops basically as soon as it leaves his hand. One time I tried throwing a shot put (I have ZERO experience) and used my fingertips as the last thing, to push off with- I damn near broke my middle finger.
I think my favorite part of this scene are Oddjobs numerous facial smirks and half smiles while he is absolutely destroying Bond.
“He blew a fuse”
Legendary pun.
1:17 I love this shot, showing just how far Oddjob has thrown Bond!
still one of the best one liners "oh he blew a fuse"
I think he was the fuse
I love that there's no music over this. It makes OddJob's smile so much creepier. And the fact that he's mute, so there's no need for dialogue.
Oddjob just manhandling ("fighting" would be too strong) Bond like an adult would a toddler, while a nuclear bomb is ticking in the background - that´s why this is one of the best and most iconic fight scenes of the whole franchise. RIP Harold Sakata, RIP Sean Connery.
This scene is quite shocking.
Booooooooo!
positively shocking.
Nah, he just blew a fuse! X)
I personally found this scene energizing and slightly illuminating.
I think that's the only dialogue/ relation the opening scene of the movie has to the entire movie.
Oddjob was toying with him. Love the older bond movies they had such great villains.
Can we agree that's the coolest suit Bond wore in any of the movies?
Agreed
Nah I think Brosnan had some of the best. They still hold up today
Speaking of incredible feats, the soldier at 1:10 just firing that assault rifle with one hand is amazing in itself. 🤣🤣
Isn’t that an smg?
@@satanclaws666 Yes it is, a Thompson.
It's an smg, fires pistol cartridges. You could definitively fire that one handed if you wanted to.
@@m-h1217 No you can't: The Thompson is way too heavy to hold it with one arm (especially if fully extended) and to fire it accurately at the same time you idiot; the cartridge has nothing to do with anything in this thread.
@@charlesferdinand422 I never stated anything about how practical it was, or if it was accurate. Just that it absolutely was possible.

Man this movie and the Character Development and the this story was told makes this movie a masterpiece the best movie in the franchise history and one of the greatest movies ever made......m Odd Job and Goldfinger are the 2 best Bond Villains In the Franchise Also i just love it
2:00 Oddjob said "Slappers Only"!
😂
Odjobb was a beast and built like a house. He destroyed Bond, who couldn’t put a dent in him. Bond landed his best punches and they bounce off with Oddjob laughing.
I remember watching this scene as a kid and it never left me. I never knew the movie until recently but always remember an invincible villain with a knife hat.
The movie that set the benchmark, and that set was amazing
Oddjob is so cool. Bond can't even hurt the guy.
I especially like the way he disarms Bond of the metal bar. Just methodically takes the weapon off him before continuing to hurl him around like a rag doll.
Bro looking back at these older Bond Films.
It looks so goofy 😂
I love it, it has this unique charm and vibe to it!
That smirk on his face says enough ☺️
Odd Job and Red Grant are my two favorite Bond henchmen villains.
At 2:22;
Oddjob motioning for Bond to get up, that sinister smile and the "ching" on the soundtrack.still scares the piss out of me!
Nothing to say: still one of the best scenes in Bond films.
The guy who played Oddjob was so good. Great Bond villain.
RIP Sean Connery, the original 007...
Oddjob didn't throw a single punch in this fight. He was more of a martial artist employing karate chops and judo throws.
Even in a real fight, he wouldn't have to throw a punch. Guys build like that are tanks, a nightmare to fight.
@@bigblockjalopy ...in computer games
HE WAS A WRESTLER THAT WHY HE HAS THAT SKILL
@@gentblue wow you're cool
@@bigblockjalopy No way man, oddjob's too small to be a realistic threat, this whole fight scene in ridiculous. Red Grant vs Bond is leagues better.
Is Odd Job always smiling while being struck because he's trying to be polite or mocking Bond?
He's overconfident. He feels nothing that Bond is capable of can hurt him, so he's treating this more like a game than a fight. He's cocky. That's why he's smiling.
The only time he’s concerned is when James picks up his (Oddjob’s) hat.
He's a masochist lol
@@DiagonalByte Dammn straight he is looking at Bond as if he was a 6 yr old.
Yes. :)
And to think that most of the cast in Goldfinger no longer exists is a terrible ache. RIP Harold Sakata
In terms of wit, villainy, versatility, and excitement, not to mention the gadgets, this was the best bond film ever
Oddjob. One of the all time greatest James Bond villains. Goldfinger must have been very happy to have him as his chauffer, bodyguard and main henchman. Not even Blofeld could find a henchman as dedicated as Oddjob.
Or as competent
Bond threw everything he could get his hands on at the dude and the fucker just smiled and proceeded to throw Bond around like a rag doll
just imagine though, if oddjob had been blofeld's henchman instead, he would have been known as blojob then.
I like when he crushed the golfball in his hand, that was cool haha😁
Bond vs Oddjob is one of the best fight scenes. The set design, the sound design, the constant humming of the bomb, no music (except for the tiny bit at the end when Bond picks up Oddjobs hat).
I must be getting really old because I seem to remember many fight scenes from the older Bond movies but not so many from the newer ones. Goldfinger was even before my time but still very memorable. Can't say the same about Marvel or DC movies etc which is 3 hours of wall-to-wall action. It's all a blur.
Odd job was one of the most Iconic Bond Villains of all time. Sean Connery had to use intelligence to outsmart Odd Job.👏🏿
I bet 20,000 volts didn't hurt either... Bond, I mean! Bond!
1:27 I like how he doesn’t solely rely on his physical strength but is agile too.
Oddjob became cautious when Bond wielded the metal lever and his hat, which goes to show that just because he's tough doesn't mean it won't hurt when he takes a hit from either of those.
The last scene was semi-reproduced in The Perfect Weapon, when Jeff Speakman’s character defeated Professor Tanaka’s
The definitive 007 movie! Of course US Treasury officials wouldn't let the producers film anywhere near the real depository, but I once read when they saw the movie and this scene, they told Albert R Broccoli that their set designs were "inventive"
I was randomly watching some videos, then saw breaking news...RIP Sean Connery.
I'd say, this is the most creative Bond kill of the series. Prove me wrong.
I remember watching this movie with my Dad and my brother when I was a kid, and I remember the scene where Oddjob crushed a golf ball in his bare hand. My Dad said, "I don't think I'd want to make him mad!"
"He loved his work, he died buzzing."
Sean Connery will always be the best James Bond ever.
Nope thats Moore.
Agreed. Moore was a great 007, but he wasn't as ruthless as Fleming originally wrote 007 to be. On the other end of the spectrum, Dalton was too ruthless and just came off as a cold-blooded assassin. Connery was the perfect blend of swagger, charm, and ruthlessness.
😢Both gone
No. Roger Moore was.
Sean connery was a great.
And he as james Bond inspired all movies and series. And he makes a cameo in some movies and tv series
Classic fight scene. RIP Sean Connery and Harold Sakata.
Notice that Oddjob is conscious enough of his environment to know how to dodge safely and neutralize his razor hat. Too bad he didn't count on Bond using electricity to defeat him, but in terms of combat prowess, skills and intelligence, he's a cut above of the rest. Bond outsmarted him by knowing he would play it cautiously and successfully baited him. Too many Bond villains end up sabotaging themselves in really stupid ways, but Oddjob really tried to be cautious.
The Good old days of playing GoldenEye on Nintendo 64 with my Brother. Most of the time he liked being OddJob
The sound of the bomb ticking down makes you think Bond is fighting a robot.

Oddjobs scream was real behause the actor burned his fingers.
Love the action scenes before the late 80s. No constant cuts, no dramatic music over everything, you felt the tension more because you felt grounded in the scene. You hear the echoes of the room, the background sounds. It feels more realistic.
That hat is almost as deadly as my trading cards.

I think Oddjob is the most loyal henchman in Bond history. Even though Goldfinger betrayed him and trapped him with the bomb, Oddjob is still fighting to ensure that his master's plan succeeds.
This hat was one of the greatest creative gadgets in the Bond movies, even though the villain had it. Unlike, Bond, James Bond, though, he does not “ always get his man, or woman…” Miss you, Sean Connery, the greatest Bond. 🎬❤️🎬
More Ken Adam brilliance. His set designs are so impressive. Oh, and the fight was pretty cool, too.😄
Realistic fight scene with excellent suspense and brilliant ending
Watching this in Lock down here in the UK.
Stay safe and blessed.
Hats off to the production team.
Oddjob had respect for that hat. He wasn't laughing when Bond picked it up.
Probably the most famous Bond scene ever made
Connery really was in the top of his game is this movie. Just fantastic!

Bond: (throws gold brick at Oddjobs chest)
Oddjob: (tuts and chuckles) "Silly" 😏
Bond:...... 😕
Lol
That Not changing smile in his face is killing me😂
I love this fight scene. Just so perfectly shot. I love scenes where Bond has to use his brain to get out of shitty situations; especially with the ticking clock in the background.
I love how Oddjob just smiles at Bond.
