    Two people with Eric 'bland aryan cliche' Kriegler top ten is bad enough but there's actually one person who even has Necros below Whisper, Gabor and Gupta?

    Usually I would go off into some rant but I just can't be bothered. Perhaps I'm getting old but it just gets rather wearing having to constantly deal with such lunacy.

    Maybe its as Indy said not age but 'the mileage'.

    Updated Ranking for 2014

    1. Tee Hee Johnson
    2. Donald "Red" Grant
    3. Oddjob
    4. General Arkady Gregorovich Ourumov
    5. Dario
    6. Necros
    7. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd
    8. Boris Grishenko
    9. Baron Samedi
    10. Gobinda
    11. Professor R.J. Dent
    12. Mishka and Grishka
    13. Jaws (controversial as this placement may be, he really ruined his character with Moonraker- he was only great in TSWLM, and even then, his size limited him to what he could actually do as an effective henchman)
    14. Emile Locque
    15. Erich Kriegler
    16. Patrice
    17. Nick Nack
    18. Dr. Mortner/Hans Glaub
    19. Milton Krest
    20. Vargas
    21. Scarpine
    22. Stamper (in recent viewings of TND, I've come to the conclusion that while he is a fairly great and memorable henchman, there is little to distinguish him from his contemporaries, and he can be a little corny in some instances)
    23. Dr. Kaufman
    24. Chang
    25. Sandor
    26. Whisper
    27. Henry Gupta
    28. Grunther
    29. Alex Dimitrios
    30. Craig Mitchell
    31. Gabor
    32. Zao
    33. Mr. Bullion
    34. Mr. Osato
    35. Elvis

    Elvis is clearly not The King here. Too tedious for me to rank them all, But Oddjob, Wint and Kidd, and Jaws(TSWLM) are among the best.Gabor, Mr Bullion and Mr Kil among the worst.

    Maybe this thread could be opened up to include henchwomen, such as Fiona Volpe, Mayday, Irma Bunt and so on?

    2. Tee Hee Johnson/ Baron Samedi, Live and Let Die
    3. Xenia Onatopp, GoldenEye and Wint and Kidd, Diamonds Are Forever
    4. Red Grant, From Russia With Love and Jaws, The Spy Who Loved Me
    5. Dario, Licence to Kill
    6. Oddjob, Goldfinger and Fiona Volpe, Thunderball
    7. Professor Dent, Dr. No

    I love my henchmen/women, so I found it hard to rank the best in the series.
    The line represents a great fall in quality, dividing the best from the rest.
