10 Best Movie Characters Not Introduced Until The End

10. Kincade - Skyfall

In a film steeped with mystery surrounding 007's past, it makes sense that the human best served to provide insight on the man himself doesn't show up until events immediately preceding the last showdown of 2012's blockbuster outing Skyfall.

Portrayed by the late great British character actor Albert Finney, Kincade is the gamekeeper of the titular childhood home of James Bond, where Bond and M choose to take a final stand against Raoul Silva. A long and secluded existence in the Scottish Highlands might have robbed many of their taste for adventure but evidently not Kincade; the gamekeeper gleefully sets about assisting Bond in setting up a variety of delightful booby traps for the inevitable arrival of Silva's heavily armed forces.

Bond's pleas to leave the fighting for him fall on deaf ears and the old man takes part in the defense of Skyfall with his trusty shotgun. "Welcome to Scotland" is the last thing several of Silva's thugs hear before being dispatched by Kincade and the elderly Scotsman also helps get "Emma" to safety after she is wounded in the battle. Additionally, any character who invites James Bond "try and stop me, you jumped up little sh*t" is a character clearly worth of further examination.

Despite only featuring briefly in the crowning sequences, viewers won't forget the formidable Kincade in a hurry.
