Posts: 13541 New Jersey, USA Gender:	Bad Assed Movie Characters Sep 3^rd, 2019 at 5:59pm I was about nine or ten when I first saw Odd Job in Goldfinger. I was thoroughly impressed. Ever since I've wanted a hat like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAbtiIrTqCE So what movie badass impressed you?

I totally admit that the movie he was in was far from great. And he got defeated by a padawan learner, while having the high ground. But that double-bladed lightsaber was completely badass.

George Lucas wasted Darth Maul and it's one if his greatest film sins (which is impressive given some of the sins on his list...)
