    I think Batista is bigger than Oddjob. Definitely shorter than Jaws, but who cares he's built like a brick. That would be a very fun fight scene to watch between Bond and Batista.

    Bond would definitely have to rely on his wits.

    Just as he did when he faced Oddjob. :007)

    Very true.

    Apparently Bautista is a bit taller than the 6'2" I had been led to believe....more like 6'4" or so. To put his size in some context, Harold Sakata was 5'10" (but 275 lbs). When I get a chance I need to go back and check out my "Goldfinger" Blu Ray to see if they made Sakata look as tall or taller than the 6'2" Connery. They won't have that problem with Bautista and Craig.

    They didn't: Sakata is clearly a good few inches shorter than Connery.

    I'm actually working on a plan for world domination, so if that
    All pans out, and I can get the skips/dumpsters needed, I'll
    Give Stag a call, as I'll need a henchman ! :D

    Hope they manage to update the Jaws/Oddjob type heavy for the Craig era.

    Amen to that. No cartoonish thug!

    Well traditionally the henchman is strong and silent- so no actual words for him to speak-just the odd grunt!

    Then DC's Bond is a bit moody and grumpy-the strong silent type.

    So maybe we'll have a silent movie !

    It would be interesting and rather exciting if they created Batista in the same way they did the other silent henchman. It adds so much more depth to the character. Maybe Batista will be able to be recycled like Jaws as well?

    I fear having Batista as a Henchman. I fear the writers are trying to replicate what Bane was in The Dark Knight Rises. I just hope they don't have Hinx huffing laughing gas or something so he doesn't feel pain.
    Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    They could play up what Renard had, getting stronger but feeling no pain, Stamper in
    TND also had " The feeling no pain" thing but it wasn't really used.

    Bautista is so huge and imposing they probably don't need a gimmick like "huffing gas" or "feeling no pain". I'm guessing with Bautista's size, strength and athletic / martial arts abilities he will be a killing machine even with his bare hands.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    :)) I'm really looking forward to see him giving Daniel a hard time ! :))

    A killing machine.

    Like a robot.

    Just saying.

    Or, someone dedicated to their job, taking a pride in doing
    Torture and killing well! :D

    DC is really convincing in his fight scenes. A hand to hand battle with Bautista has the potential to be a classic. The final battle between Bond and Hinx might even take place after Bond has dispatched the main villain.

    Hey, I'm on a roll this week {[] Barbel also said
    I'd made a point in his Myth thread :)) I'd better get
    Back to talking boll*cks ! :D

    Interesting! don't think thats been done since LALD. -{
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent

    I'm really hoping for a silent henchman, or at least one with a limited vocab! What I don't want is a Stamper style henchman (nor indeed for that matter a Jonathan Pryce villain either!)

    That's just an 'Oddjob' clone...it's been done...I'd prefer something new...if possible....

    I'm okay with a big, lurking goon. Just give him something to do besides a bit of villainy here and there and then some penultimate fight scene.
