Best Bond villain ever. Oddjob too. Connery sealed his ownership of the Bond franchise in this movie, and Honor Blackman was delish as Pussy Galore. The whole Bond motif just crystallized in this film better than in any other in the series.
Something fun to watch for when you catch it on late-night TV or DVD: When Oddjob leaves the body in the Lincoln and lets the big magnet pick it up for crushing, there’s a glimpse of the car’s undercarriage, and you can briefly see that all the mechanicals had been stripped out. I’d imagine that was to economize (why waste a perfectly good engine?) but it might also have been to make for a more satisfying crush.
I want that Lincoln for a coffee table!
best ever is right. the look on bond’s face right after odd job crushes the golf ball in his bare hand is classic.
