Last one for this night and going with Necros, simply because he got up to more. The explosive milk bottles, the fight on the cargo plane, the battle with Green Four at the Blaydon safe house for example. Carlyle, an actor of caliber, simply didn't deliver for me with his Renard character. If there had been the same ruthless agression as his 'Begbie' character from Trainspotting, it could of been one of the best Bond villains ever, but I actually favored King as the better all round villain for that release
No, Necros has to win. He gets the vote
Mr. Kil vs. Elvis
Mr. Kil is Gustav Graves/Col. Moon's henchman who is the cause of perhaps the lamest pun in Bond history, when Bond commented that he had, "a name to die for". His shining moment was when he, apparently having seen Goldfinger, opted to use the laser to kill Jinx (unfortunately unsuccessfully), having the insight to turn down Zao's offer a simple gun. The understated eloquence of his bemused "I wanna use the laser," has truly stood the test of time. His death came at the hands of his own laser, following a highly-choreographed fight with Bond. After his death his hand was removed by Bond and Jinx.
Elvis is Dominic Greene's best friend forever/right-hand man/not quite henchman. His toupee is the stuff of legend, so well-fitting that moviegoers have been known to take up to ten viewings of Quantum of Solace to notice that something is perhaps amiss with his hair. The race for his shining moment is a dead heat between his phone conversation with his mother about the weather in Haiti, his wizened, almost fraternal chiding of a fellow Quantum employee to "Next time, pay attention," when the employee clearly didn't pay attention to Bond's business card, and his being tripped down the stairs by Agent Fields, which sadly required him to wear a neck brace. He was present at several other events throughout Quantum of Solace and met his end in a fuel cell explosion.
Now, for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home... LLLLLLLLEEETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!
Not sure if you're refering to this thread piece, or the MI6 forum in general, but have to go (and there's really not much to choose between them), for Mr Kil. Elvis was about as forgettable as you will find a Bond character, totally devoid of any entertaining qualities, while at least Kil offered some (unintentional) humor. The "I'm Mister Kil" line has reached almost legendary status, while Elvis could of livened things up a little with his own "I'm Elvis", but we never got to see, or indeed, hear it. But say again, two of the most disappointing (if not ridiculed) figures, the James Bond series ever had to offer
Necros > Renard
As for Kil vs Elvis? Kil easily wins, because 1) he looks menacing; 2) he actually does what Bond henchmen are supposed to do- fight Bond.
Mr. Kil > Elvis
Mr. Kil
Those two would definitely kick their mentioned opponents backsides.
Mr.Kil vs Elvis? No winner there. Both are two equally big, steaming piles of monkey poop.
Necros was a peon turns almost headliner, almost darth maul take over of the bad guy list, noteably as tld has such turns on it that its hard to pinpoint a true badguy, perhaps why it has a weaker ending.
Renard promised so much, I recall the hype a guy who felt no pain, a guy who would be stronger fast and more determined than bond, and someone bond could never get close to. he was though at the end of it a patsy.
Hmm, best possible outcome?
A lightning strike, which takes them both out.
God Wins!
That's a cop out, come on! I say Elvis with his razor-tipped wig he never got to show off in QoS the film.
Mr Kil and Elvis as henchmen in a Bond film? Now that's a cop out! ;-)
I do like Elvis though. He's a great character who never really got his chance to shine. He's a buffoon more than a henchman. I have his defence case to write up at The Bondologist Blog.
Yes, but you did not see his toupee in action, so to speak, as the latest Quantum-approved diabolical-follicle weapon - the Elvis monk wig with a razor tipped edge!
"You can split his wig today, but tomorrow there'll be hell toupée."
Good one! Or the old tried and true "hair today, gone tomorrow".
By the way, Elvis actually had a gun in his hand ready to shoot Bond when the fuel cells blew him up. At least we can say Greene tried to make a man out of him.
Marge when commenting on Homer's hair transplant: "If your fly wasn't undone, you'd look like Roger Moore" :-)
And Elvis wins over Mr. Kil for rather obvious reasons, number one being he wasn't created solely to be the butt of an atrocious pun. I can imagine if Purvis and Wade wrote a pun for Bond:
Elvis- "Mr. Bond, I'm afraid I have to kill you but--" (Explosion blows him away).
Bond- "Thank you, thank you very much".
I hate DAD so much.
You forgot the obligatory Elvis has left the building phrase!
Anyway, I think I would choose Renard. While Necros was superior physically, Renard's (totally unexplored) lack of pain and psychotic tendencies give him the edge.
Emile Locque vs. Tee Hee
I'm going with Locque, based solely off of his amazing death scene.
