Very subtle gay couple-but what's with the hitmen? Most real bad guys are straight and macho, with teardrop tattoos and automatic weapons and cussing. A much better contrast against the swauve James Bond.
It's great how some 40 years ago, this movie dared to put two obviously gay men on center stage. And not as limp-wristed caricatures or comical sidekicks, but as the main villains.
Definitely two of the most notable Bomd villains ever!
@vSiUaCcKoSm I'm torn on this, on the one hand, yes they are the main villains and it's a step forward, in a possibly back handed way, to have two gay characters. On the other hand, well, they are the bad guys nor are they exactly the most attractive men. So it's really hard to tell if it was a jab at gays or a step forward that was fair for its time.
@Irrelevant402 I think you are right. I guess even admitting that gay people exist was a step forward, but casting them in bad guy roles dosn't make homophobic people any more accepting of gay people! I don't think that Bond has any positive gay characters - ie people who are the side of the goodies????
@ClydeRowing Pussy Galore is lesbian in the novel Goldfinger. It is never clearly stated in the movie, she doesn't seem to really need a man until Bond seduces her.
@deusirae76 Good spot, I didn't know that at all! I guess the troop of leather clad female stunt pilots was a subtle shorthand for gay woman back then!
@ClydeRowing There's also something about Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye, she says "Wait your turn !" to Natalya when she is suffocating Bond between her thights. She might just intend to take some pleasure while killing her too (just as she does with everyone else in the movie), but still ..
@Irrelevant402 The way Bond killed one of them was definitely a dig at gays though lol
the tail between his legs with the bomb, even as a kid I detected something sexual about the way bond pulled his tie up his arse crack, and the way he goes WOOOOHHH like he's enjoying it.
Also saying his aftershave smelt like a tarts handkerchief lol
@ojideagu Well a black person could see racial humor/insult in a lot of humor most would miss. I'd Imagine you're a little more sensitive to gay insults. Could be an oversensitivity from your persuasion though.
Though portraying gays in a villainous way is a very old practice and some find it demeaning, though not as annoying as having every gay character an angry at men butch lesbian or a gay funny lisp-adorned man as a woman's sidekick
I love the incredibly pi**ed-off look Wint gives Kidd, and all Kidd can do is give that awkward laugh.
Wint and Kidd are two of the creepiest villains in the Bond series, and are two of the best henchman (right up there with Jaws and Oddjob). I like the fact that Bond doesn't actually come face-to-face with them until the end, despite the fact that they came close to killing him so many times.
you know for a fact that God doesn't exist? damn, evidence like that would be worth millions. You'd be the most famous person on earth. You DO have proof right talking with such conviction?? I'd like to see it........show me anytime you're ready.
dude, those two seem to be just a little light in the lofers. lol for a lady what a queer. lol those two are to date some of the best henchmen to antagonize bond.
People would have never seen gays in films. it is still seldom to see homosexual people in films. It shows that the bond films were ahead of their time and willing to try something new.
that little laugh it great!
