Written by Mr. Mouseburger 5th Jun 2005

Mr Kidd's death is far more strightforward than the rather intricate way in which his - ahem - male companion, Mr Wynt (q.v.), dies.

Bond is being choked by Mr Wynt as Mr Kidd approaches armed with a couple of flaming chicken kebabs. Bond, despite being choked, manages to smash a bottle of brandy and throw the contents over Mr Kidd.

Net Result: Mr Kidd lights up like a Christmas tree and, in desperation, he throws himself off of the ship in an attempt to extinguish the flames.


Mr Kidd gets flambéed and makes the mistake on not wearing flame retardant fabrics

I have listed this death as both drowning and combustion, as it is ambiguous whether the flames did the job alone.

his archetype is Baddy (Minor) isn't it?

Falling? Doesn't he jump overboard?
Comment 3 by 'Kooshmeister' (reply to this comment)
Yes, but when you jump off of something, you still experience the process of plummeting.
Comment 4 by 'Mr. Briggs Incorporated' (reply to this comment)
Actually, he's in favor of adding "falling", I am neutral in the matter.
Comment 5 by 'Kooshmeister' (reply to this comment)
Oh! Doy, I misread.
Comment 6 by 'KrazyCorn' (reply to this comment)
falling would only be if he fell into the water and exploded right Mr.Briggs?

:

I think you are referring to Kidd's life-partner, Mr. Wynt.
Comment 8 by 'KrazyCorn' (reply to this comment)
Right, sorry, falling would only be if he fell into the water and got all the fire off him, but still drowned.
Comment 9 by 'Mihai_Romania' (reply to this comment)
Why is drowning included? Don't we see his buring corpes floating in the water? And Should not ""Combustion be there too, after all, he bursts into flame?
Comment 10 by 'Mihai_Romania' (reply to this comment)
SORRY COMBUSTION IS INCLUDED! OOPS!
Comment 11 by 'Uncle Placo' (reply to this comment)
He is killed by his own weapon, just like evrery other henchman
