Finally looks like DC gets a good henchman

Penfold Heart · October 2015

Looks like Mr. Hinx will be a bit of a challenge for DC.

Finally! I have been waiting for him to come up against his version of Red Grant/ Oddjob -{

He pretty much tears through the villains in the other ones, which is fine, but it will be nice to see him challenged physically and get a bit edge-of-me-seat about it.

The trailers don't give away a massive amount, but he does look promising.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's stupid like Jaws. A friend of mine who has worked with Bautista said he's not very bright and has trouble differentiating acting fighting from real fighting. At least that should make his fighting more realistic.

I think Bautista, is going to be a great Henchman. He's been very
Impressive ( to me at least) and that's only from the few brief
Segments in the trailers.

I think we will not be disappointed. -{

I don't think that his character is dumb from what I've heard!

Well...that's an unfortunate anecdote

I can't speak to the man's actual intelligence, but having seen him perform at live WWE events in person, I can attest that he was a brilliant physical performer within the admittedly highly stylized constraints of that arena...and I think that we're about to reset the henchman benchmark in a way not seen
since Robert Shaw (IMO he will be far less cartoonish than Harold Sakata).

Actually Mr.Hynx is going to be an intelligent character.

I knew very little about him before the film as I don't watch WWE, but Dave Bautista comes across as a really likable guy.

I wouldn't expect him to say otherwise, but he seems like a really likeable guy from that interview.

Prediction (not spoiler): Hinx beats the absolute crap out of Bond for 7 minutes straight, with Bond not getting one good hit in. Hinx even uses the 'BATISTA BOMB' on him. Then Hinx happens to throw him across the room beside an askew electrical outlet. Bond zaps Hinx as he is holding his metal Double barreled handgun, it electricutes him and he falls into a vat of snakes.

Same here. Don't watch WWE, but after seeing Bautista in Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does as Mr. Hinx.

Yup, he's really likable

I still find it a bit weird saying his name. My old P.E teacher was called Mr Hinx

Hinx seems less like Jaws to me and more like Oddjob. In fact, the more I see in clips, the more I see how they're incorporating elements from many Bond films.

Yep. I have to agree with this, I have noticed nods to about 5 previous films so far.

Alps scenes and music from OHMSS
Tux from Goldfinger
Train scene is reminds me of From Russia With Love
SPECTRE (Obviously)
First DC poster reminded me of Live and Let Die
Hinx (Oddjob-ish)

Yeah but in WWE he does acting fights. So I think he understands the difference. Plus he was great as Drax the destroyer in Guardians of the galaxy.

This was in the WWE. My friend was a referee and was asked to do a fight with Bautista where he would get hit. My friend didn't want to do it because Bautista actually hurts the referees, even when he doesn't intend to.

Which referee we talking about? Is he still in WWE? Plus Dave has a few films under his belt. Heck he even played a cameo in Smallville years ago. I've got faith that he'll do a cracking job.

He wasn't anyone famous and is not with the WWE anymore. I never said I had any concerns about his performance. I'm sure he'll be great, whether he's a smart or dumb henchman.

Finally looks like DC gets a good henchman
