    Dent would count as a henchman, methinks.
    Also I can't believe people nominated Mendel! He's so annoying haha

    0013 did, not people.
    He's fun to watch, always seems to be happy and the way Craig looks at him after saying he didn't bring chocolates is priceless. A little of old-school James Bond campiness!

    Yeah but what is it Bond says when he's jogging up the courtyard to Vesper and him? "Oh no" or something like that?

    Yes, he's annoying to Bond, perhaps he has some aversion to bankers (he has shown disdain for Vesper as an accountant and towards M for being the bean-counter type.) But ultemately he said to Mendel Auf Wiedersehen with respect.

    By the way, his "oh no" reminded me of Moore saying the same thing to Sheriff Pepper as he recognized him in the car in TMWTGG. Another reference to old-fashion campiness.

    Yeah I figured it was a reference to Pepper, but nonetheless, he's always irked me.

    Right. And the DC era would benefit from a bit more of it.

    Most hate her with a burning passion rivalled only by that for Stacey Sutton.

    I've heard mostly good things on here. I've personally always found her to be a fantasic Bond girl.

    Where the hell have you gathered this data from? Poor little Kara, being grouped with the likes of Stacey.

    I don't remember anyone really hating Kara. There just seems to be a general indifference towards her.

    I think Kara's perceived relatively positively.

    Welcome to the Bond fandom, where we can't decide who likes what!

    That's just the first I found. There are more.

    Agreed. But given how good she is, that constitutes underrating.

    Whoever mentioned Gregg Beam did a good deed. He's a very good minor character.

    She isn't anything spectacular, but she isn't a Stacey or Tiffany Case either. Yes, she can be naive, but she is not annoying or air-headed like some Bond girls can be.

    Cheers, mate! He is a great foil to Felix, and played to slimy perfection by Harbour.

    Most Underrated Bond Film: DAF - so much fun, but I get why some don't like it
    Most Underrated Title Track: FRWL - very mysterious and intriguing. I never understood why this one wasn't as heralded as Barry's other themes
    Most Underrated Title Credits: OP - I love all the obvious sexual innuendos in this one
    Most Underrated PTS: TMWTGG - stunning photography and Scaramangas midcentury styled layer is super cool
    Most Underrated Score: FYEO - it gets unfairly bashed for the disco parts - but the rest of it is great work, up there with Barry
    Most Underrated Villain: Blofeld (DAF) - wit and sophistication is apparently unessential qualities of a villain so says the fanbase. I disagree
    Most Underrated Ally: Tiger Tanaka - he's often forgotten, but makes for a great ally.
    Most Underrated Bond Girl: Aki - another forgotten character, who is helpful to Bond on his mission
    Most Underrated Minor Character: cab driver in LALD - "Jim! What's happening baby!"
    Most Underrated Henchman: Nic Nac - I find something very creepy and sinister about his character, despite his size
