film information
Yo-Yo Thug played by William Derrick is the seventh villain of Octopussy. Kamal Khan and Gobinda hire the Yo-Yo Thug to assassinate James Bond whilst he stays on Octopussy’s island.
Before travelling to the Floating Palace, Vijay tragically becomes a victim of the Yo-Yo Saw. Disguised as reeds on the surface of the water, the Yo-Yo Thug leads a small stealthy assault onto Octopussy’s Floating Palace. Seconds before the Yo-Yo Thug slices Bond in two, a drop of water falls onto his face from the Yo-Yo Saw, giving him crucial seconds to move out the way just in time. Bond deals with various thugs in the fight that follows, leading to both Bond and the Yo-Yo Thug falling out of the window, where a crocodile eats the Yo-Yo Thug.
character information
Kamal Khan employs the silent Yo-Yo Thug for his expert skills in managing the razor-edged Yo-Yo Saw. Most effective when the victim is held into position, or used as a surprise attack, the saw loses some of its effectiveness when the Yo-Yo Thug enters hand-to-hand combat with Bond. §
