In the first episode of the anime, Flannagan says to Duke in the English dub, "By the look on your face I see you still remember me." How can he tell when Duke has only one expression?
Possibly the dumbest assassination attempt on Golgo in Episode 27 of the series. This is then followed up by more attempts that are just as poorly though-out.
In the same episode thugs barge in on Duke just as he has sex with a prostitute. The topping on the cake? Duke still has an erection. To this, a mook declares this to be amazing, but his friend quickly argues that it's more disgusting and orders Golgo to get dressed.
Despite the Unfortunate Implications (or for some, *because* of them), Golgo has a rather notable one in the story "The Dark-Skinned Sniper". Duke Togo's target du jour is a corrupt politician in the Deep South. As part of a very intricate plan to get close to his target, Duke has taken a drug that darkens his skin color so that he can pass as black while staying with a cell of the Black Panthers organization (and catching up on his tanning). A group of cops raid the Panthers' shack, march everyone outside, and force them to strip at gunpoint so they can identify Golgo by his tanlines; Togo strips and stands up... and the cops glance at his crotch before mutually yelling, "Huh?!?" The other Panthers comment "Now he's a dark-skinned man all over! Do you see that!" "Kinda hard not to notice, actually." (For the record: The confused cops take them all in to the station, which gets Duke in range of his target.)
In "The Orbital Hit", Golgo co-opts recurring gunsmith Dave McCartney into making a gun that can shoot in space. Working against the usual tight deadline Dave, with he help of a few Army engineers, crafts the gun after a grueling 37-hour work period. On his part, Dave remains at work long enough to hand over the gun to Duke. Just after he wishes Golgo good luck (and boasting that he's still awake in contrast to his now-sleeping coworkers) instantly slumps against a wall and goes to sleep.
A minor one just before this: Golgo does one of his rare flinches the moment he turns his back.
The majority of "The Wrong Man". Golgo's client mistakes small-time businessman Tony Togo for the assassin. Hilarity Ensues.
The MSX game Golgo 13: Into the Wolf's Nest features an image of Golgo 13 at the bottom of the screen at all times. While it should look cool, one of the eyes is drawn with its pupil in the wrong spot, causing him to look rather......silly.◊
