Harold Sakata was the finest henchman in any film, ever. He manages his face perfectly in keeping with the element of danger he perceived. During the filming of this scene, he actually took burns, but never altered character. Great man.
I like the subtle smile he has in the fight: he's a stronger and tougher than his opponent, and he knows it. The one time we see him show any caution is when Bond has his hat.
I *love* how the only moment Oddjob stops smiling is when Bond picks up his hat. There's just a few seconds of worry that make his character so much more interesting!
I'd say this is probably my favourite fight scene in all the Bond films tbh. I love how throughout the movie Oddjob always has a smile on his face. Bond punches him, puts him in a headlock etc, and Oddjob just smiles & shrugs it off like "is that the best you've got?" But that quickly changes the second Bond picks up Oddjob's hat. For the first time in the movie, Oddjob looks worried. He knows if Bond hits him with the hat then it's game over. That brief moment of panic & worry, where the seemingly indestructible henchman appears nervous and shows vulnerability for the 1st time makes this one of the most iconic moments in the Bond franchise in my opinion. And Harold Sakata conveyed it brilliantly. RIP to both of these legends.
When I first saw the movie, I thought that Oddjob would laugh when Bond grabbed the hat and then when he started backing up, I was like "what, finally he is afraid of something and it's his own hat😅"
Connery once said in a interview that even after 30 years, he thought he still felt the pain of the injury he sustained when Sakata inadvertently struck him too hard.
@Marry Christmas Connery was no joke. Michael Caine witnessed Connery beating the shit out of two guys simultaneously in a bar. He also beat up a mob Hitman who pulled a gun on him.
@@ricardocantoral7672 Sean Connery also beat up one of gangster Mickey Cohen's henchman. The actress Lana Turner was in England to make a movie. Johnny Stompanato was her jealous boyfriend was in England with her. The guy was very abusive towards Lana and thought Sean Connery was having an affair with her. Stompanato was an enforcer in Los Angeles gangster Mickey Cohen's mob. He confronted Connery to his face and threatned him with bodily harm. Connery decked him and Stompanato had to leave England. Johhnny the Stomp was a violent man and a year later was stabbed to death by Lana Turner 's daughter.
Had to come here today and watch in tribute to Mr. Connery and Mr. Sakata. Best Bond action sequence ever. Must have taken a long time to stage, and film.
Modern movies could learn from this fight scene. No music, the silence adds a sense of tenseness and suspense. Long shots, it's not cut to death and you can keep track of what's going on. It's not over-the-top action madness but believable fighting at a believable pace. Not just guys duking it out, but mostly standoffs as each tries to gain a strategic edge. This is how professional spies and henchmen fight, while amateurs go in fists flying.
Absolutely! It was the silence that I mostly appreciated about this scene...today's movies there's always dialogue between opponents. One's always saying what they're going to do to another...or the name calling etc. This scene here set the bar! They were on another level...
Boy, I disagree completely. The lack of music the stilted action everything makes the whole thing so incredibly dull and hollow, this is borderline unwatchable by today's standarts. It's kinda like the Obi-wan Darth Vader fight which has aged like a fine egg
@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 "Today's standars" you mean those fights were the camera man has parkinson and you can't tell What is going on, not to mention the cuts that ruin the take. Sure, those are way better.
That's true, Oddjob is the most loyal henchmen of bond history. He was betrayed and basically sentenced to death by Goldfinger. But he didn't think one second about disarming the bomb and kept fighting for his boss' plan to succeed.
Isn't that the point?He wasn't Superman,he had met his match physically but was able to outwit him ultimately. If you were expecting him to make mincemeat of Oddjob you were watching the wrong film..?
What I like about this fight is that Bond defeats his opponent using his wit and quick thinking, and not by using his fighting skills. Bond is here basically setting a trap after realizing he cannot defeat Oddjobb in a fistfight man to man. At some point Bond, as a character, will face an opponent better at fighting than he is; Bond does not have time to be as good a fighter as some the villain's henchmen, there are plenty of other things he need to be aware of, e.g. strategy, spying, politics, etc. Bond cannot be the best fighter there is. Instead, he has to overcome his obstacles, whatever those may be, by using both strength and cunning. This is what I do not like about the new Bond movies where Bond is basically a machine being able to basically fight and defeat anyone going against him.
One thing I dislike about the Daniel Craig films is that they made him unstoppable in the first few films when it comes to fighting henchmen. At least in Spectre he finally met his match when he fought Mr Hinx on the train. Couldn't beat him in a fist fight so had to outwit him with that chain on his neck and the barrels.
@@Darkstar263 it s like the old impossible mission who Shoes the intelligence of the teams vs the stupid movies starring Tom Cruise. Tom is a great actor but I hate his version of the serie.
Tf? Is bond not gonna start learning how to fucking throw down? Nah lets leave him with a few gadgets and keep putting him in predicaments where he can't fight at all. Yes its good to see his cunning butt eventually james bond gonna know how to beat some ass..to be the top agent you gotta be versed in all types of martial arts . Your looking at it off
Given how Sakata won a silver medal for weightlifting at the 1948 Summer Olympics by managing to lift a total of 410 kg in the light-heavyweight division, I'm not the least bit surprised that he was actually able to lift Connery over his head.
Oddjob was a beast he laughed off Bond’s best punches and threw him around like a ragdoll. Bond tried to break his arm too and the guy just laughed and hit him a few solid karate chops.
Was that. Connery? Because he was a body builder (pre-steroids being mass produced mind you) before his acting career. Granted, Sakata was a pro wrestler.
This was a great fight when Connery was Bond. It was probably his toughest fight because Oddjob is a really tough guy! Nothing hurt him. So while he was beating the hell out of Bond he had to think of a way to defeat him. The perfect opportunity cam when Bonds poor throw with Oddjobs hat hit the metal fence. 007 saw his chance and used the electrical wire to beat him! Brilliant stuff!
+Joe Mauro Your point being? Jackie Chan has never suffered an injury during any of his movies, has he? And you're comparing Sean Connery's martial arts training with Steven Seagal's? Don't make me laugh!
This is probably the most suspenseful moment in the series, as Bond has no gadgets to help him. He can't even use his strength to his advantage, as Oddjob is virtually indestructible. All he has is his wits.
The Goldfinger team were not allowed inside the depository, so they had to make up their own interior, which was probably just as well. A group of politicians and coin experts who were allowed inside in 1974 found that the vaults are small and drab.
The production designer who designed the Fort Knox interior was the great Ken Adam. He worked on most of the Connery-Bond films. His iconic, 1960s signature style - vaulting and modernist - was even given an homage, decades later, in the design of the villain's nanobot factory (and former Cold War missile base) in 'No Time To Die'.
That's true, if Oddjob had gone really seriously from the beginning, he would have crushed every bone in Bond's body. But the smile on his face clearly shows that he was just toying with him because he thought that the bomb will kill him anyway.
This is a cool fight scene, but let's face it, the fight in the train between Bond and Red Grant in "From Russia with Love" set the gold standard that every other Bond fight has to be measured against. It was between two evenly-matched professional killers going one on one in a fight both knew immediately was to the death. If there was an Oscar for fight scenes, that one would take it.
Two great things about this scene. One, it’s brilliantly directed. Second, there’s no music. A more amateurish approach might’ve used some sort of action music. Here, the ambience of the immense vault, the ticking clock of the bomb, and the grappling between Bond and OddJob are all that’s needed to create enormous tension. Makes me wonder if the filmmakers took a page out of the famous fight scene between Bond and Red Grant on the Orient Express in “From Russia with Love,” considered groundbreaking in its day. In that scene, again, no music. It’s all the sound of the train and the grappling between the two men, just like here in “Goldfinger.” Two memorable fight scenes rarely duplicated again, if ever, in the Bond catalog.
I like how it's depicted as James Bond having zero chance beating this guy going mano-a-mano. Bond has to keep picking up items to use as weapons (all perfectly worthless against Oddjob BTW) until finally hitting on electricty to stop the strongman.
It would have been funny if the guy who played Oddjob in this would've cameoed Randomtask in Austin Powers, but I guess that wouldn't have been possible since the actor died in 1982 and Austin Powers came out in 1997.
I remember reading that since no one really knew what the inside of the depository looked like at the time, the production team had to use intense imagination. Supposedly the US Mint officials complimented them on their ingenuity for this set.
Harold sakata my favourite bond henchman I love this fight scene it just shows how strong he was he was throwing Sean Connery about like he was a feather
I thoroughly enjoy the strong henchmen fights in bond films and their talents, hand chopping that pole, being stabbed in the arm and still going and having the balls to say something cool before being pulled off a train
I haven't seen any of the bond movies, but this popped up in my recommended. What I like about this fight is it feels very real. The attacks seem like something you would see in a real fight. I really liked the hesitation Bond had before he attempted to hit him with the wooden beam
Man, I remember seeing this movie at the drive-in when I was a kid. It's been 60 years ago now, and Goldfinger is still probably the definitive James Bond movie in the entire franchise (IMHO anyway). The perfect combination of suspense, humor and action, and Goldfinger himself was the perfect villain.
When I first saw this movie. It was on regular television. Back in the eighties. When that lady said my name is Pussy Galore. I was so shocked that it wasn’t cut.

One of the screen's best fight scenes ! I'm still waiting for the sequel, which was supposed to have featured Goldfinger's brother (who suffered from hemorrhoids). The title was "Stinkyfinger".
Oddjob is the most loyal henchmen of bond history. He was betrayed and basically sentenced to death by Goldfinger. But he didn't think one second about disarming the bomb and kept fighting for his boss' plan to succeed. 💪 I also think Oddjob didn't view himself as a villain or evil. From his point of view he did always the right things. Serving Goldfinger was his only purpose in life.
What I love about this character is the he is a villain and a person of color but not a racist stereotype. He's just a stone cold badass. That they managed that in the 1960's is really impressive.
007’s thoughts during this fight: “Ow, well that didn’t work. Ok, that’s not gonna work either. That did nothing. Forget that. Ok this is getting ridiculous, is this guy made of diamond?”
I observed that in the 2:09th minute the hat is closer to the cut wire than in the 3:38th minute,that's when Bond's going to take it to throw it at Oddjob,you can tell that someone moved the hat away from the wire, other than Bond being thrown to the ground would have touched the cable electrocuting
If Bond would have joined Tilly in the attempt to shoot Goldfinger and Odd Job, Bond could have used his Sniper Rifle and killed Goldfinger and Odd Job and the movie would have been even shorter still!!!! Lol!!! True this could cost Bond his job. However, that will not bring Goldfinger and Odd Job back to life!!!!!!
Odd Job needed a fully working brain. Because his boss just sentenced him to death and Odd Job was still being loyal him. His loyalty is totally misguided. With a working brain Odd Job would have allowed that dude to diffuse the bomb and saved their lives. Goldfinger did not give Odd Job a gun at this time because I believe Goldfinger was planning to kill Odd Job so that he would not have to pay him for all his hard work. Remember Goldfinger's way of paying off the people he owed money to was to kill them!!!!
Maestro John Barry knew it was best to keep the scene basically free of music. It really serves to heighten the suspense when the audience finally hears the shimmering 4-note “Oddjob” theme just as Bond gains the upper hand by picking up his hat. Barry was all about “less is more”.
Bond's primary asset is his brain and not his agility and fighting skills. After all, he's a secret agent. His encyclopaedic knowledge of wines and liquor is next 🙂
@SCHLOONKTAPOOXIS That and the whole below the belt, low blow fighting dirty bullshit is just that, bullshit. Nothing but mind games 2 try and persuade the enemy 2 hold back and fight dumb. Combat and fighting sports are not the same, there are no rules in real combat and any1 who would even consider trying 2 play by rules during combat is a moron of the highest magnitude.
Dude. A bomb is about to go offin 3 minutes. And an angry invulnerable hulk with a flying lethal hat is trying to kill you. You think bond is gonna play like its a game?

Very subtle expression change, you have to look closely at Odd Job to see this. Good on you for spotting it.
Hahaha good one. I always noticed he got serious and slightly worried when Bond got his hat lol.
Oddjob also became cautious when Bond takes off the metal lever to use as a weapon.
If goldfinger showed the loyalty to his men that Oddjob showed to him his plan would have succeeded

'You ok James? Where's your butler friend?'
'He blew a fuse'
Oddjob is such a loyal henchman to Goldfinger, knowing he is trapped in the vault with the bomb and that he would be willing to die for his boss...

And not the soldiers who kept fighting despite seeing a bunch of their comrades dying around them?

One of the screen's best fight scenes ! I'm still waiting for the sequel, which was supposed to have featured Goldfinger's brother (who suffered from hemorrhoids). The title was "Stinkyfinger".
I love this fight like james fight with oddjob rest in peace harold sakata
R.I.P Sean Connery!
🙏
I love the sound that the hat makes when it's thrown
This scene will forever be a classic!
One of the best action/fight scenes around!!!
Oddjob is the most loyal henchmen of bond history. He was betrayed and basically sentenced to death by Goldfinger. But he didn't think one second about disarming the bomb and kept fighting for his boss' plan to succeed. 💪
I also think Oddjob didn't view himself as a villain or evil. From his point of view he did always the right things. Serving Goldfinger was his only purpose in life.
Odd Job was not the brightest bulb in the box!!!! He was totally misguided.
Oddjob could have crushed every single bone of Bond, if he hadn't played with him that much
3:50 Oddjob is saying "Come on."
Man I used to love watching this when I was a kid
I still see something new, decades after I first saw this.
Classic fight scene ....real excellent still after 60 years
2:15 BOND: I may be in trouble.
2:38 BOND: I am definitely in trouble.
4:19
Oddjob:Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
that was his only line
Oddjob's demise was quite shocking!.......................... Positively shocking!!!!!!
I like the look on odjobs face. It's like he was saying how cute he is trying to break my arm.😂😂😂😂😂
There are many good fight scenes in Bonc movies. This is my favorite.
"Shocking" Thanks for the memories Sean Connery. RIP!
I like the way the electricity flows, as if wires are really just holding fire inside waiting to be released.
Sean was the best one. In honour of him, Bond is from Scotland in Craig’s saga.
What I love about this character is the he is a villain and a person of color but not a racist stereotype. He's just a stone cold badass. That they managed that in the 1960's is really impressive.
I wish there were more non stereotypical POC villains
This scene is part of a slot machine game on jackpot party! Starting at 2:07
END SCENE....HOW HILARIOUS!
Back in the days when you had well crafted action scenes. No shaky cam crap.
His little smiles tho...
Back before they made Bond an unstoppable killing machine that knows every martial art ever made.
Ahhh, yes, the most thorough beatdown of Bond I've ever seen. Sakata was from Hawaii; I'm from Hawaii. Well done, sir.
1:48 Kung Lao hat :-D
Did you know that Oddjob's hat was actually the inspiration behind Kung Lao's razor-rimmed hat?
007’s thoughts during this fight: “Ow, well that didn’t work. Ok, that’s not gonna work either. That did nothing. Forget that. Ok this is getting ridiculous, is this guy made of diamond?”
I observed that in the 2:09th minute the hat is closer to the cut wire than in the 3:38th minute,that's when Bond's going to take it to throw it at Oddjob,you can tell that someone moved the hat away from the wire, other than Bond being thrown to the ground would have touched the cable electrocuting
I like the fact that this has no music at all
Hahahahaha the advert afterwards. If you took out an investment.
Well look at all that gold, and oddjob got took out by a premium bond
back when fights didnt have dramatic over the top music blaring in the background
They literally play music when Bond fights Goldfinger wtf are you on about?
If Goldfinger had trusted Oddjob enough to give him a gun, this would have been a much shorter scene
If Bond would have joined Tilly in the attempt to shoot Goldfinger and Odd Job, Bond could have used his Sniper Rifle and killed Goldfinger and Odd Job and the movie would have been even shorter still!!!! Lol!!! True this could cost Bond his job. However, that will not bring Goldfinger and Odd Job back to life!!!!!!
Odd Job needed a fully working brain. Because his boss just sentenced him to death and Odd Job was still being loyal him. His loyalty is totally misguided. With a working brain Odd Job would have allowed that dude to diffuse the bomb and saved their lives. Goldfinger did not give Odd Job a gun at this time because I believe Goldfinger was planning to kill Odd Job so that he would not have to pay him for all his hard work. Remember Goldfinger's way of paying off the people he owed money to was to kill them!!!!
This is good. Goldfinger is so iconic
I love that dirty look that Odd Job gives Bond at 0:08!
Wow! I didn't know that odd-job is such a strong character.
One of the most iconic confrontations in the Bond series, should have been continued till the timer stops at 007!
Esse mesmo ator que usa sapatos ortopédicos, enfrentou o Chuck Norris num filme.
I heard that Harold Sakata was an incredibly nice guy; a real gentle giant!
Oddjob’s death was arguably the most satisfying in the whole franchise. Jill and Tilly’s deaths: AVENGED!
Shocking ending.
Positively Shocking ending
What a classic scene.
Maestro John Barry knew it was best to keep the scene basically free of music. It really serves to heighten the suspense when the audience finally hears the shimmering 4-note “Oddjob” theme just as Bond gains the upper hand by picking up his hat. Barry was all about “less is more”.
Bond's primary asset is his brain and not his agility and fighting skills. After all, he's a secret agent. His encyclopaedic knowledge of wines and liquor is next 🙂
Bond was such a dirty fighter, always with some metal pole or whatnot.. felt bad for OddJob on this one, he was trying to play it kinda straight up.
When it's life or death, there are no rules.
MrLamotta86 Straight up w/a hat that could slice your head open?
@SCHLOONKTAPOOXIS That and the whole below the belt, low blow fighting dirty bullshit is just that, bullshit. Nothing but mind games 2 try and persuade the enemy 2 hold back and fight dumb. Combat and fighting sports are not the same, there are no rules in real combat and any1 who would even consider trying 2 play by rules during combat is a moron of the highest magnitude.
Dude. A bomb is about to go offin 3 minutes.
And an angry invulnerable hulk with a flying lethal hat is trying to kill you.
You think bond is gonna play like its a game?
RIP Sean Connery the best 007 ever.
The only dialogue I heard is... "uaaaa...." no background music. wow.
thats what 007 movies used to have.. just a type of atmosphere in their scenes. todays 007 has turned into a generic action explosions movie
Jethro Bodine really loved this film.
