Every James Bond Henchmen Ranked

49. Wint And Kidd - Diamonds Are Forever

Starting with the worst of the worst, we have these abominably bad characters from Diamonds are Forever. You might remember these two as being bad, but in fact, they're even worse than you remember.

Mr Wint and Mr Kidd (Bruce Glover and Putter Smith respectively) are two assassins who are working for Blofeld (Charles Gray) throughout the film; they are also very strongly implied to be a gay couple. They are creative with their assassinations, but other than that they fail on every level.

Bizarre, unthreatening, atrociously played and generally cringe-worthy, especially thanks to all those awful post-kill one-liners they keep dropping, Wint and Kidd are by far and away the worst henchmen in the whole series. Much of the time, they feel more like comic relief than any sort of threat, especially when they have a clear opportunity to kill Bond but instead put him in an oil pipeline from which he then easily escapes from.

The terrible ending fight scene where Bond finally kills them only further reinforces them as two of the worst action movie villains of all time. Ironically, Wint and Kidd were good villains in Ian Fleming's book, so it's a mystery as to why the script didn't just follow the book more.
