Live And Let Die (1973)

The legendary Baron Samedi, folks!

Baron Samedi from Live And Let Die might be the strangest, most unforgettable James Bond movie character. Introduced like a gimmicky tourist act with the above line, he quickly turns into something far more unsettling all the while blurring the line between a performance gimmick and an actual supernatural force. His alliance with Kananga adds to the chaos, but it’s his complete lack of consequences that really stands out. He doesn’t just survive, he practically mocks the audience with that final laugh of then movie, as if the whole story was his game all along. Did we all just get played?
