Ranking 007 - Top 10 Henchmen

[@ryanfenwick9193]

Personally in my opinion Jaws and onatopp would be number one I can't really choose between them two

[@SolarDragon007]

I think Tee Hee is one of the most underrated henchmen in the series.

[@gocanuckurself1]

SolarDragon007 YES!!!!

[@adriangussolovskiworld]

Indeed

[@wilfridwibblesworth2613]

I expected him to be ranked 3rd after Jaws and Oddjob

[@wilfridwibblesworth2613]

@Qasim Hussain Out of all henchmen in the Bond movies I've seen. (In my own personal opinion of course) His laugh was contagious whenever he was crushing things with his metal claw or feeding people to the crocodiles. I could relate to his quirky sense of humor !

[@doctorlolchicken7478]

I’d have put Tee-Hee 3rd. For me it’s Odd Job (1st), Jaws, Tee-Hee, Mr Winn & Mr Kidd, Red Grant. I don’t think of Red Grant as a henchman though because he’s far more independent. He’s more a secondary villain. So maybe Fiona Volpe #5.

[@LittenMandrake]

Necros gets my vote for most underrated henchman of the series. People always write him off as a Red Grant clone but he's a master of disguise, he has some of the most unique kills/weapons of any villain (exploding milk bottles, headphones strangulation, killer sliding door, etc), and he has multiple intense fight scenes. He's smart, tough, and really the most capable villain in his movie. Stamper is the generic clone everyone groups him in with but Necros is awesome and unique

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

Agree! Necros was badass AF.

[@simonrobinson1566]

I always think there's a little hint that he might be brainwashed too - that track he's always got on on his walkman - is that how they 'activate' him?

[@easydrive3662]

Necros has a very fit sexy look, fully agree.

[@simonpitt8145]

I have a feeling he ( the guy who played him ) also played the very first guy John McClane fought in the very first Die Hard. The guy who had his neck broken as they tumbled down the stairs and was Karl's brother.

Mr Wint and Mr Kidd. The closest we'll ever get to Tarentino henchmen in a bond flick.

[@crashfan9997]

Talking of Tarantino, a Kill Bill review on this channel would be brilliant

[@nickhand8054]

Except that Wint and Kidd were the most extreme examples of the common downfall of Bond villains, one which the Austin Powers movies have touched on a couple of times: the need to find a fancy way of killing Bond instead of just shooting him. Not once but twice during the movie they've got Bond unconscious at their feet and in a setting of complete privacy. Both times, Bond escapes because they've apparently never heard of these things called bullets.

@@DutchBondFan One of my favorite scenes in The Living Daylights is the fight between Necros and the MI6 agent (played, I believe, by stuntman Paul Weston) in the kitchen of the safehouse. It was very intense and in my opinion the best fight scene in the series that Bond is not involved in.

1. Necros. The Milkman Operation is a masterpiece and one of the best action scenes in the entire series. Probably John Barry’s favorite too, because he is the only henchman who gets his own background music. I so wish that he survives, comes back in GE, and replaces that disgusting General Ourumov. 2. Fiona Volpe 3. Red Grant 4. Xenia Onatopp. She should be General Orlov's daughter. 5. Jaws 6. Magda 7. Zao 8. Mischka and Grischka 9. Gobinda 10. Vargas. It’s a shame that this character is underdeveloped and died too early and too easily. Honorable mention 1: Erich and Apostis in FYEO. So little screen time. Such good looks wasted. Honorable mention 2: The granny gatekeeper in GF. It just occurred to me that Roger Moore got the most interesting villain & henchmen ensemble in terms of variety, appearance, personality, and skill set. And Daniel Craig got the most boring ones, although I began to like Green and Elvis more over time.

[@jkeegan154]

The most underrated henchman is Emile Locque from For Your Eyes Only.

[@JF-vw9lv]

What is interesting is which one of these henchmen could be interchangeable throughout the different Bond eras and which ones would be out of place. For example, a Dario or a Grant could work in any Bond era yet if Nick Nack, Jaws or Oddjob showed up in a Dalton or Craig Bond movie it wouldn't work. Fatima blush/Fiona Volpe could work in any Bond movie..yet Xenia Onatopp or May Day would be ridiculous in a Dalton or Craig Bond movie. Although there were never female henchmen/henchwomen in any Dalton or Craig movie (I'm sure there would've been one in a Lazenby movie if had did a few more Bond movies).

1) Xenia Onatopp (Goldeneye) - quite simply the ultimate Femme Fatale, not only within the 007 series, but in all of cinema, as far as I’m concerned 2) Red Grant (From Russia with Love) - he could have been just a big, blonde muscular heavy, yet Robert Shaw brings so much personality to his character 3) Jaws (TSWLM/Moonraker) : duh ! 4) Mayday (A View to a Kill) : such a magnetic presence on screen, and her exit is awesome 5) Fiona Volpe (Thunderball) : not only the series’ first femme fatale, but also the quintessential 60s sex-symbol, IMO 6) Tee-Hee (Live and Let Die) : again, he’s not « just a quirk », Tee-Hee is also funny and more intellectual than we give him credit for 7) Odd Job : double « duh »! 8) Professor Dent (Dr No) : I really like how realistic and down to earth he is, far from the outlandish turn taken by the franchise from Goldfinger onwards 9) Necros (The Living Daylights) : those bottles of milk, man ! 10) Mr Wint and Mr Kidd (Diamonds are forever) : so campy yet menacing HM : Gobinda (Octopussy) : badass to the end DM : Hans (You only live twice) : zero personality, just muscles

My favorite henchman is Red Grant played by the late Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love my second favorite would Jaws particularly in The Spy Who Loved Me more so then in Moonraker. The late Richard Kiel was more comic relief but when killed off contacts he was menacing and liked the train fight with him and Roger Moore’s Bond. Some of my other favorites would be Necros in The Living Daylights and Dario in Licence To Kill. Oddjob was a memorable henchmen as was Tee Hee in Live and Let Die.

For once, I have to agree with every choice on your list! Fun fact: Richard Kiel (JAWS) appeared in THE MAN FROM UNCLE, THE WILD WILD WEST (as Michael Dunn's henchman!), and, THE MONKEES (in a parody of "Frankenstein"). Something that kinda baffles me: when Ian Fleming wrote his novelization of the unfilmed "Thunderball", he really tightened it up and created what I feel is by far the best version of the story. Except... there was NO Fatima (her original name) or Fiona! I can't imagine doing a version of the story without her. In the novel "Goldfinger", Oddjob was sucked out of the plane window, while Goldfinger went down when the plane crashed. Gee... just like in 1983's "OCTOPUSSY". (heh) For more of Luciana Paluzzi, see one of my favorite Japanese sci-fi monster films... "THE GREEN SLIME". Dario just reeked "CRAZY". It's a good thing Bond was in the drug factory when he was confronted, I think he might have had real trouble trying to convince that guy that he was on Sanchez' side.

As for Jaws, I totally agree with you about the differences in the way the character was portrayed in the two movies he was in. In TSWLM, he was a lot more menacing. In Moonraker, he was more like Wiley E. Coyote in the Warner Bros. Roadrunner cartoons ( with Bond being the Roadrunner, of course). Fun fact: The actor who played Oddjob, Harold Sakata, won an Olympic Bronze Medal in Weightlifting.

Xenia on the top as i would expect. Surprised in Mr. Hinks actually, he was a nothing to me. Nice to see Nick Knack get some love, and I would have put Tee Hee somewhere in the 10. Notable exclusion are Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wynt, whose segments in Diamonds I really enjoyed.

"...and I'm still scared as shit of her..." - that got my subscribe.

Mr Wint and Mr Kidd the best thing about Diamonds are Forever

Great selection of henchmen. Oh, and Elvis is also there.

It's sad that Boris Grishenko wasn't even in honorable mentions. He's a funny bad guy but also a very deceptive character : who could have expected this funny nerd to be a traitor and to trick Natalya ?

Necros is my number one. Realistic, scary, and not comic-book indestructible like Jaws or Oddjob. Just a ruthless, cold-blooded and emotionless killer. The sequence in the MI6 safehouse where he breaks in to "kidnap" Koskov is a great action set-piece.

My favourite henchmen from James Bond films are Oddjob, Nick Nack and Jaws. Red Grant & Tee Hee are Honorable Mentions.

[@2004flippy]

I agree what they did to the character of Jaws was stupid they should've kept him scary

[@youknowmyname9606]

Unpopular opinion I like Patrice from Skyfall and Primo from No Time to Die

Mr Stamper, Zao, Necros, Dario, Mr Hinx, Hans, Boris, Oddjob, Jaws, Red Grant, Fiona Volpe
