~ Mr. Kil meeting Bond, and also the only line he says in the film. |
Mr. Kil is a supporting antagonist of the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day. He is the head of security at Gustav Graves' palace at Iceland.
He was portrayed by Lawrence Makoare, who also played Gothmog in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and the Witch-King of Angmar and Lurtz in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
History[]
Mr. Kil was first seen meeting James Bond when the latter follows Graves' invitation to Iceland, where Graves is introducing his satellite Icarus. He introduces himself to Bond who comments on his name. Graves then arrives and enters the palace with Bond.
After Graves displays his satellite Icarus to a jubilant crowd, Mr. Kil is seen lurking menacingly in the background after the demonstration was finished. Taking the suitcase containing the remote for Icarus, Kil and other henchmen leave the area, followed by Bond.
While spying at Kil through the window, Bond is found by a security guard. He manages to overpower the man, but Kil sees the fight outside, though he does not see who is fighting. After sounding the alarm, Kil and his henchmen go outside to search for the intruder. However, Bond is saved by Miranda Frost, who starts to make out with him. Deeming Frost and Bond as two drunk party guests, Kil and his henchmen decided to forget about it.
When NSA agent Jinx was captured after trying to kill Korean terrorist Tang Lin Zao, the latter proceeds to torture Jinx for information, but she refuses to talk. Zao hands Kil his gun and tells him to finish her off, but Kil replies that he will use the laser instead and Zao leaves him to it.
When Bond arrives just in time to save Jinx, he smacks Kil over the head with the remote to the laser machine, causing the lasers to wildly stray in all directions. Kil and Bond then engage in a brutal fistfight, careful to not get into the lasers way. When Bond ultimately is overpowered by Kil's sheer force, Jinx grabs the remote to send a laser directly at Kil. The laser punctures the back of his head and comes back out of his mouth, killing him.
