The thing that really threw me about Oddjob was that the notion of being disintegrated by the bomb didn't phase him in the least and he was loyal enough to Goldfinger to prevent the bomb from being disarmed.
Like Goldfinger's car was made of gold, I feel like Oddjob was too in some sort of way. How he's completely loyal to his master and the gold bar just bounces off him like nothing
There's just something special about this fight sequence. Barely any special effects, no background music, virtually no dialogue whatsoever, yet the fight itself is absolutely intense.
@@jovankliska1188 It really doesn't look that ridiculous does it, it's just not an overly choreographed shaky cam fight scene that you are used too. It's a slower less flashy fight scene not overly done like a modern movie.
@@JD-Media Oh come on, they wrestle like a babies, there is no choreography or logic, it looks like action from bollywood movies.

@The Ugly Barnacle: I agree, 👍 Also the fight sequence in From Russia With Love, on board the train, with Donald 'Red' Grant (Robert Shaw), is another one of my 'favourites', for the same basic reasons that you give.
In the novel, Oddjob is about 6’6” with forearms as thick as thigh muscles. This is one of the deadliest characters in 007 and one perhaps on par with Jaws
Funny thing, both Connery and Harold Sakata (Oddjob) became friends during the filming even though Sakata accidentally knocked out Connery during the hotel scene because he had no training in stunt work. Sakata was no slouch, a former pro wrestler, as Tosh Togo, and Olympic silver medalist at the 1948 London games in weightlifting.
The gold brick bouncing off him frightened me even more than when he crushed the golf ball. An ingot of gold that size weighs enough that a grown man would struggle to carry it with both hands. Being struck in the chest with it would at the very least knock you over and break a few ribs, yet Oddjob didn't even flinch.
@@adamlea6339 I first saw Goldfinger as a 10 yr old and even then I thought it was stupid. Connery wanted it removed, but director Guy Hamilton insisted it stayed in.
You know, in Bond's shoes, he knew *exactly* how much time he had to free himself and knowing that countdown makes that rather humorous run down the stairs way more terrifying.
Such a great fight scene. I really love how Oddjob spends most of it just toying with Bond and I bet he would have kept on just tossing him around like a rag doll until the bomb went off.
@@MidoseitoAkage Goldfinger would reward him by giving him a cat to eat. His hands were so calloused and powerful he had no fingernails. Just four calloused fingers of equal length. He could leap 7 feet off the ground and break a wooden head piece made of oak. He could break a foot thick piece of oak 'with a karate chop. While torturing Bond, he would press his fingers into Bond at specific pressure points, then follow up with a karate chop at another pressure point. When faced with hand-to-hand combat with Oddjob, Bond simply bowed his head down and waited for a death blow (that never came because Oddjob chose to escape with his Master, Goldfinger.
@@buffalopatriot Red Grant was also a much more terrifying character in the book. Robert Shaw does a good job with the role, but his backstory in the book takes his evilness to a whole other level.
@@buffalopatriot He was also a damn good shot with a bow and arrow. When he captured Bond and Tilly at Goldfinger's factory, he sent a warning shot whizzing inches past Bond's face into a tree in almost pitch darkness. Also, if I remember correctly his feet were also calloused and he was described as being so muscular, he was practically a goddamn tank.
The fight with Oddjob is the 2nd best for me with Connery playing Bond. However, my favorite is O07 and Red Grant (Robert Shaw) in From Russia with Love; the two doing close-quarter battling on that train!!
Norman Kelley did you know that Robert Shaw was married to actress Mary Ure who appeared in “.Look bank in anger” and “Where eagles dare” both with Richard Burton? She tragically took her own life...
RedLightSpellsDanger Mary Ure had taken a large amount of sleeping pills and had been drinking alcohol and died of accidental overdose before passed at age 42 in 1975, Robert Shaw was an alcoholic and he had remarried after Mary’s death but he never recovered from her death and his alcoholism took its toll and he died of a heart attack in 1978.
Norman Kelley I'm convinced that that sequence was inspired by the fight in the train compartment between Charles McGraw and an assassin, in the 1952 film Narrow Margin. Stylistically, the debt is obvious. Check it out.
Diego Del Silva I’m forever deeply in love with Dalton’s portrayal of Bond in License to Kill and whole movie overall but every actor got at last single fine performance, and I’m not a fan of the 3rd time’s a charm rule... Connery in YOLT, Moore in TMWTGG, Brosnan in TGE and Craig in Skyfall. As for Moneypenny... Lois Maxwell is most recognizable for me as always chatty and flirtty character.
Goldfinger: Why should I hire you? Oddjob: Well I'm stupid strong and I have a hat that can be thrown as a weapon. Goldfinger: I see. Previous employment? Oddjob: Nothing rewarding, just a few odd jobs here and there. Goldmember: ... You're hired.
Maybe he was smarter than it appears. He might have known, he's gonna die anyway, so he could have thought at the current situation: why not going down swinging, having some fun before the end.
And if Goldfinger was smart he'd have told the Chinese to build a bomb that couldn't be disarmed...or at least one with a casing that couldn't be cracked open by brute force.
@@pbdye1607 But if Oddjob had tackled Bond, we would have no " Bond fights the villainous henchman " sequence would we and Fort Knox would have blown up.

Harold Takada was severely burned doing that scene. But he never flinched........great character actor. Did anyone see his cold cough commercials? Hilarious!!
Check out Mr. Sakata's Vicks cough syrup commercials. It was neat in that era to see the man somewhat in-character as Odd Job. My parents got a kick out of these commercials as did we youngsters who had seen Goldfinger.
Stunt coordinator: We have this stunt double, but we don't need him anywhere! /// Director: Well we already paid him for the day. Meh. Just put him in the scene with the wooden pole.
These villains will never learn: if they watched a bit more Bond movies, they would know that they will have to stay to the very end, that is: till Bond is, finally, dead. Not leaving him alone with a "Goodbye", because then one can be sure he will be back.
Watching this; the way odd job launches him and spins him around everywhere without skidding around himself. If you look at his shoes, and that floor, he would’ve had very little traction. Connery is 6 ft 2, and wasn’t exactly a lightweight himself. The guy was an absolute beast!!!
STEFAN - AN AMERICAN IN RUSSIA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA! I like how in his first scene outside, he had precision accuracy in taking off the head of the statue but you see none of that in this scene.
Any one else notice Bond picks up the hat & prepares to throw it with his *left* hand... scene cuts away to Oddjob... scene cuts back to Bond and he throws the hat with his *R I G H T* hand!

Oddjob was one of the few opponents who Bond couldn't physically overpower.
The most loyal employee in the worlds history! He is locked in a room with a atomic bomb which is going to explode and he is still following orders.
It is so sad that Harold sakata (who plays oddjob) died but in my opinion he played one of the coolest bond villains

Oddjob is without a doubt the best and most underrated Bond villain!!!
Harold Sakata really burned his hand in that scene.
Really? Damn!
Oddjob is Harold SAKATA.He is the great wrestler.
So, a Japanese wrestler taking on the role of a Korean. Mr. Sakata was very good in this role.
His wrestling name was Tosh Togo...saw him as a young boy on the Island of Oahu in Hawaii wrestling for Ed Francis Promotion!
That explains the no selling
he won silver medal in weightlifting in 1948 olympics
He is still wrestling? He must be about 90 years old!
That Bomb timer went on like forever Lol... The magic of Cinema i guess.
This fight and the red grant fight on the train in From Russia With Love are my 2 favorites of all time in the Connery era, classics😎👌🏻
Harold Takada was severely burned doing that scene. But he never flinched........great character actor. Did anyone see his cold cough commercials? Hilarious!!
Doesn't flinch when a gold bar is thrown at him, but he's scared of a hat.

it rather tense even without a score.
There was a score. It was industrial!

When Bond hit Odd Job with the gold bar didn’t you wish he could at least have pretended like it hurt.
Shocking. Positively shocking.
Oddjob definitely respected that hat. He didn't like Bond having it.
I’m impressed that they didn’t go with your usual stereotypical Asian name of spring roll or something
MOLE that doesn’t sound like a stereotypical asian name at all...
Any one else notice Bond picks up the hat & prepares to throw it with his *left* hand...
scene cuts away to Oddjob...
scene cuts back to Bond and he throws the hat with his *R I G H T* hand!
Honestly, with all the other impossible things Oddjob seems capable of doing, being ambidextrous seems the most plausible.
Oddjob must be strong, having bars of gold thrown at him without any obvious injury.
Well they show him breaking a golf ball with his hand. That takes 4000 lbs. of force. So basically Oddjob is a genetically enhanced hat thrower.
R.I.P. Sean Connery
Bond's reward: crispy Oddjob🍖
