Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best
58. Sandor (The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977)
Hired goon handpicked by Karl Stromberg. Sandor is a short but stocky fellow who's hopeful to rise through the ranks of Stromberg’s aquatic operation. His first task, as we see it, is to assist Jaws in finding a valuable submarine tracking device - by any means necessary.
One of the main reasons he’s chosen seems to be to make the gigantic Jaws look even bigger in comparison. Next to him, Sandor is a pudgy little gnome. If he has any reservations about reporting directly to Jaws, however, he doesn’t show it (and we can’t blame him).
Eager to prove himself a worthy henchman, Sandor attempts to ambush Bond in Egypt where he quickly engages him in a rooftop brawl. It only takes a few kicks and karate chops, however, for 007 to get the upper hand as well as a firm grip on Sandor’s tie. Facing a perilous drop, Sandor is intimidated into revealing the location of Bond’s contact Fekkesh, before being quickly expunged from the rooftop.
In short, he sings like a canary, though he doesn’t fly like one. “What a helpful chap.”
