    I had him relatively low too. I don't necessarily mind that he doesn't have an outright gimmick like Jaws or Oddjob, and is a bit more grounded. In fact I like the idea of a Bond henchman basically just being a sadistic weirdo. But I've never found him all that memorable.

    Our #16:

    NICK NACK
    by Hervé Villechaize
    in The Man with the Golden Gun

    Falling just outside the top 15 Nick Nack retrieved three top 10's: one 5th place and two 10th places.

    At the other end of the spectrum, there were two bottom 5's, of which one 28th place was his lowest finish.

    Nick Nack collected a total of 77 points.

    Spot on, I had him on 16 as well. Although not very effective, he is very memorable. Comes across as rather nasty. I liked the idea that he is to Scaramanga what Cato is to Insp. Jacques Clouseau, serving him, but also testing his abilities.

    Oh, monsieur.

    Seems like I was the one who had him at number 5 and I stand by it. To me Nick Nack is certainly one of the most intriguing henchmen and while his sinuous working relationship with Scaramanga doesn’t seem particularly believable I enjoy it much all the same. I’ll admit he’s not terribly effective as a final jump scare though.

    And his little musical cue is great as well.

    #14 for me.
    One of Bond’s most mischievous adversaries. What he lacks in stature and physical prowess, he more than makes up in cunning and deception.

    You're not alone, I gave him 10th spot. For me he's an unforgettable character :)

    I'll add he was more of a nuisance than a threat. But probably swore like a sailor in that basket.

    I had him at 24, that irritating little man.

    I have him at #19. Considering Bond simply stuffs him in a basket and ties him to the mast in the end, he simply is no real threat, in spite of aiming to take over Scaramanga's realm. Plus (as with Jaws/Richard Kiel, really) I've always been uneasy to see an actual physical deficit being exploited, no matter how much the actor received for it. And I'll get the Tabasco myself.

    I suppose it's because I've seen this film so many times, but whenever I see a bottle of Tabasco, I think of TMWTGG.

    Shows the effect of smart product placement.

    Nick Nack is definitely memorable and he has some good scenes like the one where he is looking into the tv screens next to Bond before Gibson is killed and then stealing the solex.
    However, I prefer more dangerous henchman and the final confrontation is very disappointing. He landed at #17 in my list.

    Nick Nack came in at 28th for me. He’s a memorable villain for sure, but he’s not a threat to Bond in any way. He’s just an annoying little man, who is accompanied with an annoying little theme tune of his own. Not a character I’m particularly fond of.

    It wasn't the internet bill that went up, if you know what I mean.

    Loving these comments, guys! Thanks a lot :)

    Let's crack that top 15 then, starting, naturally, with our #15:

    GOBINDA
    by Kabir Bedi
    in Octopussy

    s-l1200.jpg

    Kamal Khan's loyal sidekick, only questioning his boss' judgement when he needs to step out of a plane in mid-air, received a high score of one 5th place. He also obtained one 6th, one 8th and one 10th spot.

    With only one bottom 5, a single close-call 26th place, no-one seems to outright dislike the character, providing him with a well-deserved top 15 spot.

    In total, Gobinda managed to collect 79 points.
