GOLDFINGER | Bond faces off against Oddjob 

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.

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"!"

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.

Oddjob was really committed. You hardly find staff like that these days.

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.

Oddjob perfected the "Henchman Where the Normal Laws of Pain Do Not Apply" element in the Bond series. A most welcome addition.

I love how there is no overdramatic score in the background just simply the scene alone. Silence works sometimes.

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.

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.

Apparently, the actor who played Oddjob actually burned his hand when Bond electrocuted him, but the actor powered through it! GOOD stuntman!

Love how Oddjob just shrugs off having a gold brick thrown at him with a smile, and Bond was like “oh shit...”

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.

1:46 - Oddjob is thinking "Aww, isn't that cute? He's trying to break my arm."

At 0:44---notice how Sakata picks up Bond and effortlessly lifts him over his head. And Connery isn't a small man.

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

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."

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".

I love how oddjob just smiles and enjoys the effort from Bond. He’s a gentleman lol

Something about the whirring and ticking of the bomb in the background really adds to the tension in this scene.

When your little brother violates the "no Oddjob" clause of the internationally agreed upon Goldeneye multiplayer conduct standards.

The sound in the vault room is so satisfying, ultimately nothing said but it's so tense

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Remember, this fight scene was *_intense_* in 1964. Be wowed, and remember to take a breath!

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.

Bond was outmatched in every aspect of this fight, but oddjob didn't take him seriously. That was his mistake.

"You ok, James? Where's your butler friend?" "Oh, he blew a fuse."

Odd job had only two facial expressions 1. Smiling 2. About to hit Until Bond created a new one for him

RIP Sean Connery, the BEST Bond.

Classic scene from a masterpiece of a film one the great bond films

1:17 I love this shot, showing just how far Oddjob has thrown Bond!

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 like how there's minimal music/cutaways, kind of better than modern day fight scenes, feels more real.

"Who throws a shoe? Honestly!" There wouldn't be Austin Powers without 007. RIP Sir Sean Connery

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.

Despite what people think, Gold is extremely heavy. Oddjob is a monster.

I love how Oddjob just keeps on smiling when he faces Bond.

This scene is quite shocking.

My best bond film.. Absolutely amazing. No matter how many times I watch this it keeps getting better

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.

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

still one of the best one liners "oh he blew a fuse"

That smirk on his face says enough ☺️

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.

The movie that set the benchmark, and that set was amazing

😂 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.

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.

Oddjob was toying with him. Love the older bond movies they had such great villains.

“He blew a fuse” Legendary pun.

Is Odd Job always smiling while being struck because he's trying to be polite or mocking Bond?

The last scene was semi-reproduced in The Perfect Weapon, when Jeff Speakman’s character defeated Professor Tanaka’s

Odd Job and Red Grant are my two favorite Bond henchmen villains.

Can we agree that's the coolest suit Bond wore in any of the movies?

1:27 I like how he doesn’t solely rely on his physical strength but is agile too.

Bro looking back at these older Bond Films. It looks so goofy 😂 I love it, it has this unique charm and vibe to it!

The guy who played Oddjob was so good. Great Bond villain. RIP Sean Connery, the original 007...

Watching this in Lock down here in the UK. Stay safe and blessed. Hats off to the production team.

Nothing to say: still one of the best scenes in Bond films.

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.

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.

2:00 Oddjob said "Slappers Only"!

Oddjob didn't throw a single punch in this fight. He was more of a martial artist employing karate chops and judo throws.

Classic fight scene. RIP Sean Connery and Harold Sakata.

Speaking of incredible feats, the soldier at 1:10 just firing that assault rifle with one hand is amazing in itself. 🤣🤣

I love how Oddjob just smiles at Bond.

Realistic fight scene with excellent suspense and brilliant ending

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!

This fight being nearly silent really adds to it.

0:07 The sound of Oddjob's hat hitting the metal is the same sound perhaps used in 'The Ipcress File' when Palmer hits that metal beam in the warehouse.

I think my favorite part of this scene are Oddjobs numerous facial smirks and half smiles while he is absolutely destroying Bond.

More Ken Adam brilliance. His set designs are so impressive. Oh, and the fight was pretty cool, too.😄

That hat is almost as deadly as my trading cards.

Sean Connery will always be the best James Bond ever.

"He loved his work, he died buzzing."

In terms of wit, villainy, versatility, and excitement, not to mention the gadgets, this was the best bond film ever

I like when he crushed the golfball in his hand, that was cool haha😁

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.

02:46 min, Oddjobs scream was real behause the actor burned his fingers.

By far... ...one of my all time favorite movie sets.

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.

And to think that most of the cast in Goldfinger no longer exists is a terrible ache. RIP Harold Sakata

That Not changing smile in his face is killing me😂

best ever bond film.of all time.a classic

Connery really was in the top of his game is this movie. Just fantastic!

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.

Oddjob just smiles as he fights Bond and takes a GoldBrick to the Chest what a tank.

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 sound of the bomb ticking down makes you think Bond is fighting a robot.

Ihave to say,not bad for a Pro Wrestler to play a body guard.Sir. Sean Connery had his moments with Pro Wrestler a.k.a. Actor Oddjob.He said that in a interview about the 🎥.Legendary pro formance in all detail. 1derful Big Screen performance indeed.I can't never get enough of Bond's 007 classic.GOLDFINGER. 🎥🎭🎥🎭🎥🎭🎥🎭 Longlive 007🎭🎥🎭

Probably the most famous Bond scene ever made

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 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.

I love it. No music. Just an epic fight.

Love the sound in this scene.

Tbh this is the quietest fight scene I've ever seen.
