104. Kra

The Film: The Man With the Golden Gun

The Actor: Sonny Caldinez

The Basics: Wrong-place-in-the-wrong-time schmoe

Is Kra even a real henchmen? As the sole employee working in Scaramanga's massive lair, he could be just some guy who took the wrong job and got knocked into a vat of chemicals by the Worst Bond Girl Ever for his troubles.

103. Whisper

The Film: Live and Let Die

The Actor: Earl Jolly Brown

The Basics: Overweight, incompetent henchman

In the middle of Live and Let Die's climax, James Bond unceremoniously locks Whisper in a metal cabinet, never to be seen or mentioned again. A fitting ending for a bumbling goon whose every action results in dismal failure.

102. Mr. Kil

The Film: Die Another Day

The Actor: Lawrence Makoare

The Basics: Boring muscle with a desperate name

Someone forgot to tell Die Another Day that a great henchman needs more than goofy name. "Mr. Kil" being wasted on someone this forgettable is crime against Bond-dom.

101. Mr. Bullion

The Film: The World is Not Enough

The Actor: Clifford "Goldie" Price

The Basics: Obnoxious traitor who contributes nothing

His name is a reference to his gold plated teeth and he's a traitor who turns on his employer. And thats about all there there is to Bullion. He feels like a pale attempt to resurrect fond memories of Jaws and Goldfinger, but doesn't have even a fraction of their panache.

100. Colonel Feyador

The Film: The Living Daylights

The Actor: John Bowe

The Basics: Generic Soviet commander who exists just to dieThe Bond series is full of countless Russian generals who exist solely to scream orders and die in a fiery explosion. Colonel Feyador manages to be the most boring of the bunch.

99. Prof. Joe Butcher

The Film: Licence to Kill

The Actor: Wayne Newton

The Basics: Faux TV evangelist who fronts a drug ring

The name "Professor Joe Butcher" deserves so much more than Wayne freakin' Newton.

98. Edmund Slate

The Film: Quantum of Solace

The Actor: Neil Jackson

The Basics: Walking plot device to get Bond from A to B

You probably don't remember Edmund Slate, who perishes in hand-to-hand combat with Bond in the worst-choreographed, worst-shot fight sequence in the Bond canon.

97. Hai Fat

The Film: The Man With the Golden Gun

The Actor: Richard Loo

The Basics: Disapproving corporate money source for villainous activity

Hai Fait is the most thankless kind of Bond baddie. He exists solely so a superior villain can kill him, raising the stakes for the third act. Still, for an evil CEO who runs his own martial arts school, he's awfully forgettable.

96. Marco Sciarra

The Film: Spectre

The Actor: Alessandro Cremona

The Basics: Your typical pre-credits doomed adversary

This S.P.E.C.T.R.E. agent is nattily dressed for sure, but his half-baked scheme—to blow up a Mexico City stadium during a Day of the Dead celebration—is easily foiled by Bond before a quick fight has him falling to his death from a helicopter.

95. Zao

The Film: Die Another Day

The Actor: Rick Yune

The Basics: Very angry henchman with a very expensive injury

A deadly henchman whose faces has been wrecked by experimental plastic surgery and a bunch of explosion-propelled diamonds. Zao imbues the quirky, gimmick-driven henchmen of early installments with blockbuster fighting skills… which does not make him better.

94. Gabor

The Film: The World is Not Enough

The Actor: John Seru

The Basics: Some guy who does some stuff

When Bond casually guns down Gabor during the climax of The World is Not Enough, you may remember that he is the villainous Elektra King's bodyguard. Technically he is ever-present throughout the film. Technically.

93. Vladimir Popov

The Film: Die Another Day

The Actor: Mikhail Gorevoy

The Basics: Low-rent Boris Grishenko

One part early-2000s hacker cliches, one part Eurotrash cliches, Vladimir is the creator of the "Icarus" device, the laser-shooting satellite that may be the most unnecessarily sci-fi Bond MacGuffin since the days of Moonraker. He gets sucked out of a plane.

92. Bert Saxby

The Film: Diamonds Are Forever

The Actor: Bruce Cabot

The Basics: Turncoat corporate goon

Quite possibly the most incompetent henchman to ever work for arch-villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Bert Saxby bumbles his way through the Diamonds, only to be killed while failing to assassinate one of Bond's contacts.

91. General Medrano

The Film: Quantum of Solace

The Actor: Joaquin Cosio

The Basics: Nasty military misogynist

Many Bond villains have unpleasant and grotesque sexual proclivities, but General Medrano is the only one whose chief adjective is "rapey." He provides a very specific kind of threat of the film's heroine and is one of the least fun villains in the entire series.

90. Adam

The Film: Live and Let Die

The Actor: Tommy Lane

The Basics: Barebones henchman who exists so action can happen

Adam's demise is a hoot—he dies in a fiery explosion at the end of a massive boat chase—but beyond that, he's a standard muscle. Not much to see here. Moving on.

89. Perez and Braun

The Film: Licence to Kill

The Actors: Alejandro Bracho and Guy De Saint Cyr

The Basics: Two henchmen for the price of one

Same as #89, but in a fiery explosion at the end of a massive tanker truck chase.

88. Dambala

The Film: Live and Let Die

The Actor: Michael Ebbin

The Basics: Diet Baron Samedi

A snake-wielding voodoo priest who meets the business end of Bond's revolver, Dambala is slightly racist and slightly creepy. Too bad he's in a movie with another, far more menacing Voodoo priest villain who steals his thunder. Don't you hate when that happens?

87. Scarpine

The Film: A View to a Kill

The Actor: Patrick Bauchau

The Basics: Boring bodyguard to a scene-stealing mad man

Christopher Walken ate all of the scenery in A View to a Kill, leaving nothing but crumbs for this poor, starving secondary henchman. He doesn't even get the dignity of fighting Bond.

86. Rosie Carver

The Film: Live and Let Die

The Actor: Gloria Hendry

The Basics: Incompetent CIA mole

It's actually super cool that Bond shows zero hesitation about sleeping with a black woman in 1973. The man was really ahead of his time in breaking the racial barrier (if it meant getting some). It's a shame that the traitor he seduces is so terrible at her job. Rosie one of the most bumbling villains of the Roger Moore era—and that's saying something.

85. Krilencu

The Film: From Russia With Love

The Actor: Fred Haggerty

The Basics: Low-ranking S.P.E.C.T.R.E. goon

We don't see much of Krilencu, but the scene where Bond and an ally lure him out of the back of his hideout to execute him with a sniper rifle is one of the few scenes in the Bond series that can actually be described as "Hitchcockian."
