"You made one mistake back on that island, Bond. You took something that didn't belong to you. And you took it from a friend of Mr. Big's. That kind of mistake is tough to bounce back from."
― Adam to James Bond[src]

Adam Martin was a gangster who worked for Mr. Big, but took his instructions from Tee Hee; in some ways he can be considered to his right-hand man. The character appeared in the film adaptation of Ian Fleming's Live and Let Die, portrayed by Tommy Lane.

Biography[]

Adam first appeared at the airport where James Bond and a recently defected Solitaire were captured, intending to force Bond to sky dive from a high altitude into the lake. Adam then led Mr. Big's men in pursuing Bond after he escaped from the alligator farm. He accidentally brought Sherrif J.W. Pepper's attention for speeding, and J.W. attempted to arrest him, but Bond surprised him by jumping the boat he was driving over them while Adam manages to make a getaway.

Adam later stole a speedboat from J.W.'s brother-in-law, Billy-Bob to chase Bond and, at the climax of the chase near an abandoned tanker, was doused in petrol by Bond. Disoriented by this attack, he lost control of his boat as it crashed into the tanker, as Adam perished in the explosion.
