Tee Hee Johnson is a fictional character in the James Bond novel and film Live and Let Die. In the film he was portrayed by Julius Harris.
Tee Hee’s name is derived from his tendency to chuckle to himself very often for little to no reason. As Bond states when he first meets the man: “Funny how he laughs at the slightest little thing”.
In the film Tee Hee works for Mr Big and has a metal arm, replacing one which was bitten off by an alligator. Tee Hee leads Bond to an island surrounded by alligators, but Bond escapes by using the backs of the alligators as stepping stones. After Bond foils Mr Big’s plot, Tee Hee returns to attempt revenge. After a fight however, Bond throws him out of the window of a moving train, leaving his metal arm still attached to the window ledge.
In the novel, Tee Hee has both arms and is killed when Bond pushes him down a flight of stairs after he broke Bond’s finger.
