GOLDFINGER

VILLAIN

Goldfinger

One of the most famous and sinister of the villains, Auric Goldfinger (played perfectly by Gert Fröbe) can never be remembered without mentioning his mute henchman, Oddjob. Goldfinger's remarkable planning and ruthless execution made him more than a match for Bond's ingenuity, whilst Oddjob provided the supreme physical challenge.  Only thwarted by 007's irresistible charms, Goldfinger's plan to break into Fort Knox was perhaps one of the most daring to date.

Most memorable quote
Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!

Oddjob

Although not the best golf caddy in the world, Goldfinger's mute Korean manservant, Oddjob (played by Harold Sakata), makes up for it in many other ways. Remembered chiefly for his steel rimmed bowler hat, Sakata (once a world weight-lifting champion who won silver in the 1948 Olympic games) makes Oddjob an almost invulnerable opponent for 007. However, Bond's quick thinking finally leads to his shocking end. Following the success of his part in Goldfinger, Sakata (also known as Tosh Toga) took Oddjob as an informal middle name.
