Sidekicks Megapoll: Round Four: Oddjob vs Emma Peel

[Zeener Diode]

Oddjob



When Bond meets Goldfinger for a round of golf, Oddjob is seen in full for the first time. Goldfinger describes him as "an admirable manservant but mute". He only has four lines of 'dialogue' throughout the film: in his first line, upon pretending to have found Goldfinger's missing golf ball, he exclaims, "Aha!". The second time, after killing Tilly Masterson, he instructs his men to dispose of her body by merely pointing at them and saying, "Ah! Ah!". The third time, he says "Ah!" to order Bond to put on a gas mask before entering Fort Knox. The fourth time, as Bond electrocutes him in Fort Knox, he yells a final long, loud "Arrgh!".

Emma Peel



Although Emma was considered an amateur, she often out-sleuthed and out-fought trained agents, and so was held in the highest esteem and trust by her peers and by the Ministry.

True sidekick vs a Dragon/mook.

No contest.

I just had an epiphany that a huge part of why I like Oddjob so much is the name 'Oddjob'.

Emma Peel I like for other reasons.
