The Henchmen You Love To Hate (or just hate)

chrisisall

Red Grant, arguably the best. No real words needed here.
I like Necros a whole lot, the slimy POS.
Oddjob wast cool, but I really feel like he should have been the only 'super-strong' one in the series.
Jaws offended me twice. Just ridiculous. More tolerable in TSWLM but that's not saying much.
Stamper was good for a few laughs.

Your choices?

I thought Necros was pretty cool, but seemed to be trying to replicate Red Grant a little too much.

Klebb is awesome. Wint and Kidd are hilarious and yet still sinister.

LALD had a trio of awesome henchmen that you just love to hate.

Zao is just painfully bad. Helga Brandt was very meh as well.

Almost forgot, Irma Bunt is one you just HAVE to hate! Even though she is amazing.

Jaws will always be my #1 though. Just too much awesome, yes even in MR!

Blofeld (Telly Savalas) and Irma Bunt of course, Franz Sanchez (his casualty cruelty towards Lupe is haunting), LeChiffe (the demolition of Bond's "tenders" is very difficult to watch), and Silva (poor M).

Oh, sorry BL, this is henchmen, not top villains... ;%

Fav Henchmen ?

Oddjob, Tee Hee, and Red Grant {[]

Dario is one nasty motherf==ker! Not only has he raped and killed Della Leiter, but he enjoyed bragging about what he has done to Felix. He really deserved his vicious demise at the factory.

Oops! Sorry about that! I still go with Irma Bunt for obvious reasons, and I'd throw in Red Grant, too.

Exactly. He's probably the only Bond villain (main or henchman) that inspires real hatred in me. A vicious psychopath with absolutely no redeeming qualities (panache, humor, erudition, etc.) -- just a thug through and through. Excellently written and acted.

+1 X-( Grrrrrr

Yes, some villains are so evil you are hoping they will get a nasty
Death, and LTK doesn't disappoint. -{

AlphaOmegaSin

Shame that Dario never got that much Screen time

I'm so Evil that even Blofeld once told me to lighten up.

BIG TAM

Don't know about love to hate but henchmen I like: Red Grant, Oddjob, Wint & Kidd, Tee Hee, Jaws (in TSWLM), Locque, Dario & Xenia Onatopp.

Unknown007

Jaws...........

Mister B

My fav' have to be Red Grant, Dario, Irma Bunt and Wint & Kidd.
May-Day and Xenia are quite memorable too. And even though Nick Nack is not the best, I must mention this dispectable little fellow. Dr Kafuman is one of the few memorable bits of DAD too.

On the other hand, I must say I never really liked the goofy comic book vilains like Tee-Hee or Jaws. Not to mention the two henchmen of TND, just bland and forgetable.

Dr. Kaufman was in TND.

Mister B

You're right, each time you can be sure I'll mix the two titles. They're both such unimaginative also ! )
And I meant then that the two henchmen in DAD were bland not in TND, the Mr Kil fellow ( 8-) ) and the other diamond-head guy whatever was his name.

Thunderpussy

That would be Zao, played by Rik Yune.
