Jaws Virtually Returns For Bond Game

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Gamerfeed report that reveals the full cast for EA's next Bond videogame, James Bond 007 : Everything or Nothing. In keeping with their already-announced casting of the real Shannon Elizabeth as a virtual Bond girl, they've also announced that Pierce Brosnan will again return as Bond, Willem Dafoe will be the virtual bad guy, Heidi Klum the virtual Eastern European bad girl, and John Cleese and Dame Judi Dench will be reprising their regular movie roles. Finally, and best of all, Richard Kiel's metal-toothed bad guy Jaws will be making a re-appearance (after his secret character unlock in the Goldeneye game), something that would be impossible in the real movie series due to Kiel's advancing age.

As every Goldeneye player knows, Jaws is very tall and gleamingly white. Also know as a sitting duck. Who we want back is the short and black clad Oddjob. Besides, Jaws was the stereotypical Big Dumb Guy, who ultimately betrays his master. Oddjob, one the other hand, had style, finesse, a cool hat, and died in the service of Goldfinger. What more could you want from a Henchman?

Yeah, but jaws could bite through metal bars and stuff.

...and died in the service of Goldfinger.

Thus neatly stating a major reason to not bring him back in a later game.

Now, make a Goldfinger game, and I'm there!

Wasn't Jaws left aboard an exploding space station with his girlfriend in Moonraker ?

Who we want back is the short and black clad Oddjob.

If short and black-clad is what you're looking for, how about Nick-Nack [jamesbondmm.co.uk]?

WTF? Jaws?

[uncoveror]

What does a giant shark have to do with James Bond? They both have cool music, but beyond that, I don't see the connection.

"Jaws" is the name of a character in one of the older Bond movies (don't remember which) who had immensely powerful steel jaws and teeth...

first google result for "jaws bond" [about.com]

Re:WTF? Jaws?

[Randolpho]

Moonraker [imdb.com] and The Spy Who Loved Me [imdb.com], as any self-respecting Bond-geek fully knows. Easily one of my favorite Bond characters, evar.

I wonder how they're going to bring him back. At the end of Moonraker he was going off with that short ugly/geeky-but-hot-underneath blond gal. He was a turned good guy... perhaps he'll be a bond ally?

Sounds good!...

as long as the game can still be used to install linux on xboxs!

Geez! Mod the parent up.

[wezelboy]

That's not off topic. That's funny. I'm gonna go meta right now...

"They are... MUTANT... sea bass"

Jaws was in the PC Version of 007: Nightfire!!!

[Dolemite_the_Wiz]

Come on People, do your research! Odd Job as as well. You were able to control these characters in the multiplayer. Jaws was a pain in the ass to kill and Odd Job threw his hast as a weapon.

However, EA messed up in nurturing the multi-player (as they have with other all platform at once release dates) and have lost a enormous potential of a 007 Modding community.
