Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best
67. Jenny Flex (A View To A Kill, 1985)
If you're struggling to name a random henchwoman, you can hardly go wrong with Jenny Flex. It's because she's flexible, you see.
However, you can go wrong with almost everything else about this lame lady lackey - as though having come up with a name, the script simply put its feet up and thought "Another job well done."
But it wasn't a job well done at all. For one thing, A View to a Kill forgets to do anything interesting with the character - short of a semi-noteworthy introduction in which, after remarking upon her fondness for "early morning rides", a visibly far older Bond informs her: "I'm an early riser myself."
You could practically hear the crew guffawing and high-fiving after that one - unfortunately, the film doesn't end there. With that hilarious (?) double-entendre in the bag, A View to a Kill seemingly remembers that it actually has to come up with some kind of role for Jenny Flex to play beyond a setup for Bond to crack a naughty joke.
As such, along with her pal Pan Ho, Jenny is given a host of menial villainous tasks to do for the rest of the film until her watery death. It's a genuine surprise when head henchwoman May Day appears to mourn Jenny Flex; she must've known far more of the character than the script bothered to show.
