I think it is a shame that Dalton was only in two films to be fair, as his fight with Brad Whittaker and Necros are some of the franchise best (Only Connery’s battles with Oddjob and Red Grant are better in my view).

I like that Goldfinger’s scheme actually makes sense (even if it is stylised) and that the film actually improves on the book, by having it be contaminate the gold instead of the arduous task of transporting it.

For me, the earlier Bond villains were far better. Dr No and Red Grant were somewhat plausible. Whereas even under Connery the rot had set in by You Only Live Twice (which took a hit at the box office).

It got much worse under Roger Moore (too old and too camp), however. The only respite came with Timothy Dalton to be fair and back to villains that were at least coherent.

For me, it is Danny Williams a man who has made a career out of knocking out an ageing Mike Tyson (it is fitting really, as Tyson fought the elderly when he came up).

Williams was known as the “Brixton Bomber” (which obviously didn’t age that well as a nickname) and every now and then he does a tour to remind everyone that he beat Mike Tyson. Fair dues to be fair.
