  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?

  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.
