Live and Let Die: Kananga / Mr Big (Yaphet Kotto)

Comments for death : Live and Let Die: Kananga / Mr Big (Yaphet Kotto).

if Kananga/Mr. Big had lived the entire USA drugs market would have been flooded with free heroin.

It think the death of Kananga is one of the most unique and ingenious in the series. Despite the fact that the special effects pale by todays standards, I just love to think what must have been running through Kananga's mind in those last few seconds. Only a minute earlier he had Band tied up and ready to kill and now Kanaga has to desperatelly and futilly try to escape being blown up like a balloon.
Can you imagine what Kananga must have felt, to have all his skin stretched to the point of breaking, being unable to move from the acumulated presure of becoming a human blimp, while flying to his doom in the celing above? I think this is one of the most dramatic revesals and just recompences in the whole series.

it wa really funny tho when i saw im inflate i propa laughed whie he wa inflating beacuse u could see im strching into a massive inflating balloon it wa just the best and relaly really funny

why can't he just open his mouth and let the air out?

He probably can't for the same reason we can't just do that if we had indigestion. Unless he can burp at a rate faster than the gas filling him, I'd say he'd be screwed even if his mouth was open.

Then again, the fact he stretches so large and bursts in such a non-gory, cartoony way isn't really going by regular physics or logic, so who knows? And doesn't he get much bigger than shown in that pic?

Also, shouldn't this perhaps be put under "Pressure"? I'm sure he was feeling a lot of pressure before he burst...

Yeah, this deffinatelly should also be under "pressure"
also I was able to find an online film clip of the entire scene at:

wonder y there wasn't any blood or bone fragments flying when he exploded?

The "Death Trap" was meant for Bond, and had nothing to do with how Kananga was killed.

What about "Food and Drink"? The category states that the death has to do with eating or drinking and Kananga swallowed the bullet
