Description
For the 20th Bond film, this is the first time DNA replacement
therapy has been introduced. The mastermind villan is rogue North
Korean, Colonel Moon who is involved in the smuggling of African
conflict diamonds and illegal weapons trading which will be used in
the invasion of South Korea and other Oriental countries. After a
spectacular hovercraft chase, Bond is sure he had sent Colonel Moon
to his death over a waterfall.When he escaped death at the hands of
007, Moon headed to Cuba and Dr. Alveraz's clinic. He emerged a
month later with a new face, new DNA and a new identity - Gustav
Graves.
For the chief henchman of the film, Zao was undergoing genetic
reconstruction. James Bond interrupted the procedure and left the
Korean only half-transformed, with a ghostly, pale appearance.
Striking and eerie, Zao has piercing blue eyes, reptilian,
translucent skin and a bald head. He also has diamond shrapnel
embedded in his face from his first encounter with 007 in the
Pre-Titles Sequence. At the Cuban clinic, we see Jinx go through Dr
Alveraz's computer files and see a shot-by-shot sequence of Zao
appearance from Korean to his would-be new Caucasian DNA identity.
