Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best

This brainless thug sets large-framed henchmen back years by perpetuating the stereotype that brainy and brawny are mutually exclusive.

Tasked with driving a getaway vehicle for the assassin of Bond’s contact Mr Henderson, the unnamed driver waits for his partner to emerge after the job is done. 007, having taken the Japanese hitman out, switches clothes with the assailant and stumbles into the back seat of the car, feigning agony.

You'd think the driver might notice that his partner can suddenly only respond to repeated questioning with laboured moans of pain, not to mention that he’s gained a few pounds and grown a few inches. What’s more, though Bond is wearing a medical mask, he’s clearly a white man.

Alas, the driver is fooled by the disguise, and saves Bond the trouble of an investigation by driving him directly into enemy territory of Osato Chemicals. Even after physically carrying 007 into the building, he fails to notice anything amiss until he sets Bond down on a sofa and takes off his mask.

Understandably embarrassed by his blatant stupidity, the car driver assails 007 aggressively, upturning furniture and attempting to slice his opponent up with a samurai sword before Bond knocks him out with a stone figurine. Though played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s grandfather, the Car Driver is certainly no People’s Champion.
