Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best
78. Kra (The Man With The Golden Gun, 1974)
It’s Kra! Remember Kra?
He may not seem all that important to you, but he’s clearly a cherished and invaluable member of Francisco Scaramanga’s criminal organisation. Either that or the golden-gunned assassin’s million-dollar contracts aren’t going towards the company payroll.
Kra holds the distinguished roles of sole maintenance worker, head (and only) security officer, and all-round grunt at Scaramanga's island lair. With henchmen like Kra and the infinitely more famous Nick Nack, who needs an entire network of stooges? For Scaramanga, three’s company.
That said, it’s difficult to see what exactly makes Kra qualified for jobs that would normally be done by many well-trained people. He is frequently seen lazing around, pushing buttons, pulling switches, and unsuccessfully trying to pull Mary Goodnight. The latter is no surprise; Kra eschews traditional pickup lines and seems to feel instead that his mere presence (and 70s fashion) will be enough to seduce Bond’s feminine ally.
Ironically, when Goodnight knocks Kra into a vat of liquid helium, the island estate is quickly blown to kingdom come - so maybe he really was the only one keeping the place from falling apart?
