Bond: "I'm Bond, James Bond."
Kalba: "What of it?"
too funny.
Mr Chang - DAD, "Surviving, Mr. Chang....just surviving" is a great line
Raoul - DAD, Cuba's dormant MI6 station reactivated
Jill Masterton has a pretty minor role, but major impact.
When she comes storming out with the machine gun and starts peppering bullets, Bond' s WTF reaction is a priceless bit of Bondian mayhem.
Runnerup- The Cabbie from LALD.
"Well,hello there, Jim! Relax. Mr. Big wants to see you."
And also:"You re going skydiving, Jim."
A gloriously funny performance by Arnold Williams.
Or that guy in the boat from the same movie who's just stands up in his boat in an empty lake and looks around
Or the waiter in Live and Let Die, gets Bond a drink, Moore gives him money in exchange for information, Bond goes round on the revolving booth and he takes the money and walks off drinking Moore's order
and that guy too at the airfield, when Bond and Mrs Beeker come past with the wings torn off and he's on the phone and sees what's coming past his window
The South African rude man in Die Another Day - 'get uz another dwink, unless you vant to be known as Fidel Castrato', and 'I don't veed a bloody veelchair'..
Knew it begun with a 'B' though :\">
The waiter could maybe be classified as a bond adversary too, I mean he hardly did Moore any favors in that release, Bond got little change out of him but he wasn't really a bad guy so to speak, just difficult if anything else
The San Francisco police antics and all round incompetence was a blatant nod to Keystone Cops anyway...
You watch the stupid fire truck chase and all that ensues, and you half expect Keaton or Lloyd to appear any moment, total slapstick nonsense in Moore's swansong appearance
:-L
Machine Gun Granny. ( Didn't see that one coming in Goldfinger.)
Hannah. (I wish we had seen a little more of her before she got killed off, her joke about Boris was kinda funny, It would have been nice to see her and Natalya interact before Orumov and Xenia showed up and gunned the base down.)
Vlad (He was also short and sweet, would have been cool to have a scene with him and Bond interact before he finds out that Graves was Moon.)
Agreed about Vlad, he was kind of a wasted villain. He's one of those scientist/brainy villains that aren't fully evil but still go along with the plan, like Latislav Kutze in TB, Mr. Ling in GF, or Bob Conley in AVTAK. Still, his death always springs a laugh from me and a friend of mine, we just love that shot of him flying out the window!
when Vlad in sitting down with his feet up and having a drink and cigarette and Graves bursts into the room and 'Show me the new toy' or something, and he jumps to his feet at once, and does a demonstration, it's like 'give the guy a break' or something, he was having a rest etc
And then there's that other one in Live and Let Die when Moore rescues Solitaire and as he's making his way over the clearing on the Island with a machete to cut her free this guy leaps out from the crowd and shouts something and runs towards him and Moore just shoots him a few times, always raises a smile for some reason
Very funny and likeable character.
The sausage munching Germans in OP always make me chuckle!!
That is surely veering close to a racist comment isnt it?
Um.. so? Don't take it as one and it won't become one. :)
Sorry mate but thats not how it works these days. It doesnt matter how you intend something to come across - if someone decides to take offence then you can be tried and convicted on Twitter in hours.
And in modern Britain the most fundamental human right is the right to take offence at whatever you want.
A man of the world I envisage, someone who is a great husband and a great father in equal measure with his existence a source of pride to his parents. Probably a hard worker, committed to his job. As determined as Bond is and, by his vehicle choice, as caring about the environment as Dominic Greene.
Yes, I'm talking, of course, about the cyclist in Octopussy who goes between the two fighting taxis. Simply brilliant and a real hero. So committed to his journey, doesn't have a clue.
Well, I'm not sure how else you could describe them, they literally are munching sausage and are Germans!
Absolutely.
Just strikes me as confusing that everyones up in arms when Rog says 'that'll keep you in curry for a few weeks' but 'sausage munching Germans' no one bats an eyelid.
Both are fairly lazy national stereotypes but one is condemned for being racist and the other is merely humourous.
While we seem to be listing OP minor characters though:
The one eyed bloke with the evil cackle who arranges to top Bond with his troupe of yo-yo wielding hoods.
The 'Das ist mein auto!' woman.
The security guard at the air base - 'go after the guy in the red shirt'. Its not red you fool. Its a sort of maroony purple.
The fat bloke at the circus who Rog hides behind.
Shane Rimmer
Featured in YOLT and DAF and more prominently as Commander Carter in TSWLM
He was also the voice of Hamilton in LALD.
Much as I'm a fan of Shanes work it begs the question - why?
Was the actor dumb or did he lose his voice on the day of the shoot? Or maybe when he spoke it came out like Donald Duck?
Another payday for Shane though. After Sean, Rog, Pierce, Bernard, Desmond, Lois, Geoffrey Keen and Robert Brown is Shane next on the all time list of Bond film appearances?
YES! Hahaha, what a legend! Apparantly that was a goof, he didn't realize there was filming going on and just went right through the fight!
This isn't a character, but as for a minor animal, how about that random dog in the TB Junkanoo parade that decides to pee in the middle of the road?! Hahaha, it took me a while to notice it, but it's definitely worth the watch!
The difference is that Bond comments on one and not the other.
What about the major at the backgammon game, can't leave him out, it's only fair. Octopussy is littered with minor characters of recognition, too many to mention
Also in The Man with the Golden Gun when Moore goes to the Lazar residence in Macao, and the old woman and the girl are eating their rice and 'I hate to spoil your dinner, but Does a Mr Lazar live here?, 'La -Zar', as Moore has some communication breakdown, and then he appears and the two women go back to their meals and some frenzied eating, thought they should get a mention
