This led to the classic "No Oddjob" rule, where the phrase must be spoken before Oddjob is chosen as a character. He was notable in GoldenEye (Nintendo N64) for being the shortest playable character (and thus hardest to hit) and became one of the more popular selections by players. Oddjob has also appeared in a number of games as a playable multiplayer character (in the likeness of Harold Sakata). In the insuing battle he is thrown over a rail into a pit inside the Hoover Dam. He is killed after he betrays and attacks GoldenEye. In GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, Oddjob is a henchman of Goldfinger, and initially a companion of the game's protagonist GoldenEye. Notably, in this game Oddjob actually speaks. Bond escapes confinement and obtains a shield to protect him from Oddjob's hats, which he uses to deflect back at him.
Later on, Bond trails Oddjob to Tibet, only to be captured. The two fight, and Bond is defeated and left stranded in a desert. The first time is when Bond encounters Oddjob at his hotel room in Maccarech. In the Game Boy game James Bond 007, Oddjob appears multiple times as a henchman for the game's main villain, General Golgov. As with the film character, he uses his hat as a weapon. In James Bond: The Duel for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive, Oddjob (or rather, a clone of Oddjob) makes an appearance as a boss character in the villain's volcanic base (Stage 4). Testament to the character's popularity, Oddjob has frequently made appearances in James Bond video games as an adversary or a playable multiplayer character. Oddjob is then outmaneuvered when, as he reaches to retrieve his hat, Bond uses a severed live electrical cable to electrify the bars, causing an electric current to electrocute Oddjob to death. Bond misses him with the throw, causing his hat to get stuck between the metal bars in the Fort Knox vault. The only time Oddjob shows anything resembling fear or wariness in the film is when Bond attempts to use his own hat against him. Physically, Oddjob is practically invincible to Bond's hand-to-hand combat tactics, even when Bond uses a wooden object as a club.
He wears what appears to be a bowler lined with a metal razor disk in the rim, using it as a lethal flying disc of sorts (this is a bowler hat in the novel, and as such, would have had a round top). He is expert at unarmed combat, but also uses a silenced M1911A1 pistol on a mobster called Mr.
He is extremely strong and durable, demonstrating his strength in a number of scenes, including one where he crushes a golf ball with one hand later he is struck with a gold brick in the chest, scarcely flinching. Oddjob is the one who paints Jill Masterson completely in gold at Bond's hotel room in Miami at the beginning of the film. Oddjob acts as Goldfinger's personal chauffeur, bodyguard, henchman and golf caddy in the film.
