'''Tee Hee Johnson''' is a fictional character in the [[James Bond]] novel and film ''Live and Let Die''. In the film he was portrayed by [[Julius Harris]].  Tee Hee's name is derived from his tendency to chuckle to himself very often for little or no reason.  As Bond states when he first meets the man: ''"Funny how the least little thing amuses him"''.

In the film Tee Hee works for [[Mr. Big (James Bond)|Mr. Big]] and has a metal arm, replacing one which was bitten off by an [[alligator]].  He appears to be either a chief bodyguard or right hand man of Kananga's as he appears in almost all of his employer's scenes regardless of which identity his employer is currently assuming.  In his first meeting of Bond, Tee Hee is informed that Bond is armed by [[Solitaire (James Bond)|Solitaire]], disarms him and, in a demonstration of his formidable hook, twists Bond's gun.  In their next meeting, Tee Hee leads Bond to an island surrounded by alligators, but Bond escapes by using the backs of the alligators as stepping stones.  After Bond foils Mr. Big's plot, Tee Hee returns to attempt revenge.  After a fight however, Bond disables his artificial arm (cutting the wires which control the hook) and throws him out of the window of a moving train, leaving his metal arm still attached to the window ledge.

In the novel, Tee Hee has both arms and is killed when Bond pushes him down a flight of stairs after he broke Bond's finger.

'''Baron Samedi''' is a popular [[fictional character]] from the [[James Bond]] novel and film, ''Live and Let Die''. In the film, he was a [[List of James Bond villains|henchman]] to [[Mr. Big (James Bond)|Mr. Big]]. In ''Live and Let Die'', Samedi was portrayed by actor [[Geoffrey Holder]]. Samedi would later make an appearance in the 1997 [[video game]] ''[[GoldenEye 007]]''.

The character is inspired from the [[loa]], [[Baron Samedi]], a figure representative of death in the [[Voodoo]] religion.

===Novel===

In the novel, Baron Samedi does not make an appearance himself, although many people in Harlem and elsewhere believe the novel's chief villain, [[Mister Big (James Bond)|Mr. Big]], to be either the Voodoo god Baron Samedi himself or perhaps his [[zombie]]. Mr. Big encourages this belief by keeping a Baron Samedi [[totem]] near his desk.

===Film===
Baron Samedi is first introduced as a so-called entertainer who does a voodoo dance act for tourists, when Bond arrives at the island on which most of the action takes place. The announcer introduces Samedi as ''"the man who cannot die"'', though Bond  doesn't seem to think much of it at the time. In the film he is described by [[Felix Leiter]] as being ''"nine feet tall"'' when in real life he is only 6 feet 6.

In the film, Baron Samedi is perhaps the most enigmatic villain/henchman the cinematic Bond has ever faced. His character is an ambiguous one, and the audience cannot tell if he is the Voodoo god Baron Samedi himself or simply a human who has assumed Samedi's identity. Contributing to the mystery is the fact that Samedi seems to operate as an aide to Doctor Kananga, aka [[Mister Big (James Bond)|Mr. Big]], but is not entirely under his control. In one scene, for instance, as Kananga interrogates Solitaire (the film's main [[Bond girl]]), Samedi engages in an odd ritual of burning [[Tarot]] cards. The ritual seems to convey a sinister message to Kananga and Solitaire, and although it irritates Kananga, he refuses to put a stop to Samedi's card-burning. Furthermore, the scene demonstrates that he has, perhaps, the same Tarot powers as Solitaire.  When Bond and Solitaire are exploring Kananga's "Voodooland", he is the first of the villain's allies to observe the pair and reports this on a flute he is playing after a menacing and polite interaction with them.  Solitaire appears to acknowledge him as they walk away.

Near the end of the film, Baron Samedi is apparently killed after he attempts to kill Bond with a machete, but Bond throws him into a coffin full of poisonous snakes. But just before the end credits roll, at the point when Bond typically has achieved total victory in previous films, we see Samedi riding on the front of a speeding train laughing demoniacally, further suggesting that he is in fact a supernatural character, a first (and so far only) for the Bond films.

Samedi has never reappeared in any subsequent Bond film, unlike the henchman [[Jaws (James Bond)|Jaws]] or the villain [[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]], but neither has the series endeavoured to solve the mystery of Samedi's nature. Since Samedi's last appearance was more than three decades ago, the mystery will likely remain unsolved.

===Video Games===
In the [[video game]], ''[[GoldenEye 007]]'', Samedi appears as a boss in an unlockable mission separate from the main plot. In the game, Bond is sent to the ancient el-Saghira temple in the [[Valley of the Kings]] in response to a letter sent by someone claiming to be Baron Samedi. Additionally, Samedi claims to have possession of [[Francisco Scaramanga]]'s [[Golden Gun|golden gun]] (from ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun (film)|The Man with the Golden Gun]]''). Bond is sent to retrieve the legendary weapon and defeat a cackling Baron a total of three times before completing the mission. (Interestingly enough, though the Golden Gun defeats other enemies in one shot, it takes more than one shot to dispatch the Baron's last incarnation.) In the cutscene that follows, Bond strides down a corridor of the temple with the golden gun in hand. After he leaves, Samedi emerges from the shadows and laughs. 
  
In ''[[James Bond 007: Nightfire]]'', Baron Samedi is an unlockable character for multiplayer mode. He can be unlocked either by use of [[cheat codes]] or beating the campaign mission "The Exchange".

In the game ''[[The World Is Not Enough (video_game)|The World Is Not Enough]]'', he can be unlocked for multiplayer use by cheat codes or successfully completing the game on the "Secret Agent" difficulty setting.

* In the game ''[[Fur Fighters]]'' a character very similar to Samedi, known as [[Odebah Bear]] appeared as a mini boss. <br clear=all>

}}

'''Rosie Carver''', played by [[Gloria Hendry]], is a fictional character in the [[James Bond]] film ''Live and Let Die''.

In the film, she is a rogue [[CIA]] agent who is secretly an underling of [[Mr. Big (James Bond)|Kananga, aka "Mr. Big"]], who sends her to kill 007. When arriving at a hotel in San Monique, Bond is surprised to learn that "Mrs. Bond" has already booked into the suite.

After spending the night together, Bond and Rosie head off deep-sea fishing, while they check over the rest of the island. After a picnic where they make love, Bond confronts Rosie, and learns that she is actually in the employ of Kananga and she was to lure Bond to a trap where he would be killed. When Bond threatened to kill her if she didn't come clean, Rosie called his bluff and runs away, being killed only moments later by Kananga’s scarecrows.

Rosie Carver is Bond's first on-screen black love interest. Her character was initially written as a white woman (and the lead Bond girl, Solitaire, as black) before the producers made the switch. During filming, the producers actually thought about sparing Rosie, but ultimately they went ahead with the original plan and killed her off.

|name=Whisper

'''Whisper''' is the name of a character in the [[James Bond|Bond]] novel and film, ''Live and Let Die''.  The character has a very soft voice that sounds like he is whispering, hence earning himself the name. In the film he is played by Earl Jolly Brown.

In the novel, his quiet voice is attributed to a childhood bout of tuberculosis, from which one and a half of his lungs had to be removed, leaving him with only half a lung with which to breathe and talk.

He is seen on a number of occasions throughout the film; when Bond travels to meet [[Felix Leiter]] in New York, when he pulls alongside Bond's cab, he kills the driver by using the Poison Dart Shooting Mirror in his car, and appears at the end of the film in Kananga's lair.

It is unclear as to whether Whisper, like so many henchmen, actually dies at the close of the movie. He is last seen being knocked into an air tight metal capsule just prior to the climatic fight between Bond and Kanaga. Since he can't scream very loud for anyone to help him, he presumably suffocated in the capsule.

Whisper is arrested in the end of the novel.

'''Adam''' is a character in the [[James Bond|Bond]] film, ''Live and Let Die''.  He is an underling of Kananga/Mr. Big but mainly receives his instructions from Tee Hee; in some ways he can be considered the latter's right hand.  He first appears at the airport where Bond and Solitaire are captured and then leads Mr. Big's men in pursuing Bond at the alligator farm.  He steals a speedboat from Sheriff J. W. Pepper's brother-in-law Billy Bob to chase Bond and, at the climax of the chase near an abandoned tanker, is doused in petrol by Bond.  Disoriented by this attack, he maneuvers his boat inside the tanker and is killed in the subsequent explosion.
