GOLDFINGER – Oddjob Character Spotlight, played by Harold Sakata

In our GOLDFINGER - Oddjob Character Spotlight, we dig deeply into - superbly and memorably played by Harold Sakata.

GOLDFINGER – Oddjob Character Spotlight: Today we dig deeply into the character of Oddjob in GOLDFINGER – superbly and memorably played by Harold Sakata!

GOLDFINGER set the standard for the James Bond formula. Oddjob is a character that must be placed in our Character Spotlight, as Harold Sakata’s portrayal of Oddjob is flawless.

Yes, he’s one of the James Bond series most notorious henchman, he doesn’t speak, and he’ll do anything so support his boss, Auric Goldfinger. So, how does Harold Sakata make sure you, the audience member, knows he’s menacing? Sakata’s portrayal of Oddjob gives us an excellent example as to how this should be done.

We look at the various expressions Harold Sakata uses in different scenes in GOLDFINGER. In addition, we’ll talk through how they gave us the first look at Oddjob. Just like the slow reveal of new James Bond actors or the first time we see Quarrel in Dr. No, Oddjob doesn’t just appear on the screen front and center. It is a powerful way to introduce us to this important character.

Plus, we talk about some of the differences between Oddjob’s portrayal in the movie GOLDFINGER versus how he’s portrayed in Ian Fleming’s novel.

Finally, we discuss Harold Sakata’s background and why he was a great choice to play Oddjob. And was there a bet involved in helping him get the role?

So, have a listen and you’ll “Be in the Know”. Get up to date on all things spy movies and series.

You can check out all of our podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or on our website. Our channel name is CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES.

So, enjoy our GOLDFINGER – Oddjob Character Spotlight, played by Harold Sakata episode. We’ll continue the series looking at the actors and roles that help shape spy movies and deserve an encore!

Restoring the James Bond Vehicles with the Ian Fleming Foundation

Dan and Tom go backstage at the Ian Fleming Foundation's work weekend where they maintain and restore James Bond vehicles from the movies.

What would it be like to help work on and restore the actual James Bond vehicles used in the movies long before they go the public exhibits and shows, like Bond in Motion? Well, we were invited to a work weekend to do exactly that!

THE WEEKEND

Dan and Tom recently were privileged to attend the Ian Fleming Foundation work weekend. This is one of the times that the Foundation spends working on its inventory, restoring the vehicles, and having a great time telling James Bond stories. It was a blast! We’ll take you backstage and let you hear about how they get these vehicles and what they have to do to restore them so we can all see them in exhibits like Bond in Motion.

THE JAMES BOND VEHICLES

One of the vehicles we discuss is Goldfinger’s plane. This is a huge and fascinating restoration job. Steve Targosz discusses this massive project. Another one was one of the Kenworth trucks from LICENCE TO KILL. Colin Clark walks us through this one. These are two that they are still restoring so you wouldn’t have seen them in a museum yet. But, we also saw some vehicles that have been restored that we saw. Leonard Johnson discusses getting and restoring the fire engine from A VIEW TO A KILL. Colin Clark walks us through getting the plane Sanchez escapes in from LICENCE TO KILL and what shape it is in. Plus, we talk about, Zao’s green Jaguar from DIE ANOTHER DAY, the helicopter from FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, and lots more! We’ve included audio clips in this episode from the people who make this happen.

GOING FORWARD

KANDAHAR – No-Spoiler Review!

In this episode, KANDAHAR - No-Spolier Review, we look at this new spy movie and let you know if we think it is worth your time and money.

Join us for our KANDAHAR – No-Spoiler Review. The spy movie KANDAHAR just released this weekend.

Is it worth your time and money to see?

We discuss the actors, cinematography, the portrayal of religion, the political statements, and how there is no place like home in the movie KANDAHAR.

THE TRAITORS – A British B Movie Makes the Grade

Join Dan and Tom as they decode the spy movie THE TRAITORS, a 1962 British B Movie. Does it make the Grade?

Join Dan and Tom as they discover THE TRAITORS, a 1962 British B Spy Movie. Does it make the Grade?

Low budget B movies were made, for the most part, to be the second billing on double features. Low-budget doesn’t necessarily mean a bad movie. In this episode we dive into THE TRAITORS without giving away the movie.

THE TRAITORS has a good cast starring Patrick Allen, James Maxwell, Jacqueline Ellis, and Zena Walker.

We look at the high-level plot, what makes this a B movie, how espionage is portrayed, the music and more. For the most part, this is espionage!

At Spy Movie Navigator, one of our goals is to identify Influences. Specifically, where a movie was influenced by or has influenced other spy movies and real life. THE TRAITORS has significantly influenced parts of THE FOURTH PROTOCOL, ALLIED, the the Harry Palmer Series, ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE, THUNDERBALL, LICENCE TO KILL and more. Take a listen to find out about these influences.

THE TRAITORS is a fairly common name for movie titles and television shows, including the currently airing games show. So, to be clear, we’re examining the 1962 movie here.

So, join Dan and Tom for their THE TRAITORS – A British B Movie Makes the Grade episode.

Join Dan and Tom as they bring you UNDERCOVER BROTHER – Decoded! The 2002 movie UNDERCOVER BROTHER is a spy movie that they’ve been wanting to decode for a while. It is very wacky but very racially focused. Some might call it a blaxploitation spoof movie.

They look at this movie, in part, against the backdrop of the recent announcements that the Ian Fleming books are being rereleased and rewritten to remove ‘offensive’ text. UNDERCOVER BROTHER has many racial jokes against both black and white people. There are even some words that are considered offensive to some people. So, does this movie need to be censored as Flemings books are?

So, are the comments positive or negative to this rewriting effort? Listen to find out! Then, send us a comment about the discussion at Info@cracking-the-code-of-spy-movies. We’d love to hear from you. Do you think that it is good to see Ian Fleming’s works edited?

British Intelligence – Decoded

British Intelligence is a 1940 movie starring Boris Karlov and Margaret Lindsay. Join us as we decode the twists and turns of this spy movie.

BRITISH INTELLIGENCE is a movie starring Boris Karloff! Not as Frankenstein, or in the Bride of Frankenstein, or The Mummy, no! He scared all of us for so long in these movies – but here . . . today. . . we are looking at Karloff as a spy in none other than the 1940 movie, BRITISH INTELLIGENCE!

In short, the basis of the story is that in World War I, the British are making plans to counter the German offense after the German invasion of Poland. They are making plans but somehow the Germans are aware of their plans and are pounding the British troops as a result -as many casualties are resulting in the Germans somehow knowing the British plans.

And no one knows HOW the Germans are discovering these plans. So, James Yeats, played by Leonard Mudie, as head of British Intelligence – must get to the bottom of this! Arthur Bennett, the cabinet minister, assembles the powers for regular meetings at his home, for planning, and for figuring out how the Germans are getting their plans.

BRITISH INTELLIGENCE is full of intrigue, espionage, double-crosses, and real spy stuff. It is extremely well done. It stars Boris Karloff as Valdar, Margaret Lindsay as  Helene Von Lorbeer, Bruce Lester as Frank Bennett, Leonard Mudie as James Yeats and Holmes Herbert as Arthur Bennet. Therefore, you know the acting is superb!

In this episode, we point out some interesting connections, and things to definitely look out for. We’ll enhance your viewing experience! Let’s find out how much intelligence the British have.

10 Reasons to Watch The Man Who Knew Too Little

Join us for 10 reasons to watch The Man Who Knew Too Little and look at influences with A Christmas Carol, Moonraker, and Octopussy!

Join us as we look at 10 reasons to watch THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE!

Dan and Tom look at the 1997 spy spoof and tell you why you should watch it. We think it is a fun movie.

The first reason to watch it is that THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE is a showcase for Bill Murray. If you like Murray, this movie will be in your wheelhouse. Listen to the episode to hear us explain this one in more detail and to catch the other nine reasons to watch.

We also look at the birthday present Wallace Ritchie gave himself. Discuss whether Lori is good or evil. Wonder if we could get away with a car chase with the police as Wallace does. And Bill Murray is a Russian dancer, really?

And as usual, we look at potential influences between THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE and other movies. We specifically drill into influences with A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MOONRAKER, and OCTOPUSSY.

We enjoyed this movie and with these 10 reasons to watch THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE, we hope to encourage you to watch it too.
