Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best

Other than Elvis (the king of mock and LOL), the rest of Quantum of Solace's henchmen aren't too dreadful. The main problem, as with most aspects of the movie, is that there simply isn't enough screentime for anything to breathe.

The entire film moves at such breakneck speed that there's not a lot of room, or time, for depth. Exhibit A is Slate, a hitman sent to assassinate Bond Girl Camille before quickly (very quickly) being tracked and eliminated in turn by 007.

Like the most unwelcome of hotel cleaners, Bond shows up at Slate's modest Haiti lodgings to carry out some ruthless room service. After a brief brawl, Slate winds up with a shard of glass in his neck. That's that.

It's not a bad fight scene, but much like the film's other action sequences, it's edited with such furious frenzy that it's difficult to get a hold of what's going on before it's all over. One minute, Slate is making his entrance, exploding through a door to meet the intruding Bond - in the blink of an eye, he's a bloodied body on the balcony floor. Thank you, next.
