4. Oddjob (Harold Sakata - Goldfinger)

Korean ex-wrestlers don't presumably come to mind very often when it comes to the casting of a film, but in Goldfinger, it is a decision that worked wonders, creating a highly memorable character that has been endlessly parodied to this day. Well-mannered and built like a brick wall, Oddjob serves as the villainous Goldfinger's manservant, and is prepared to die for his cause, though his sheer physicality makes killing him a difficult prospect. He is best remembered for the scene in which he decapitates a stone statue with his razor-rimmed bowler hat, the basis for many of the weird and wonderful gadgets that were to come as the franchise went on.
