Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best

77. Rosie Carver (Live And Let Die, 1973)

Tee Hee James Bond
MGM/UA

A double-agent blundering between CIA duties and service under the villainous Kananga - she’s equally terrible at both. Rosie wastes no time informing Bond upon their introduction that she will be completely useless to him, and she turns out to be absolutely right.

Rosie embarrasses herself at every turn, utterly terrified by almost everything she sees, from a dead snake to a bloody-feathered hat. She even fails to deduce Bond’s connection with their fisherman ally Quarrel Junior, foolishly holding him at gunpoint with the safety catch still on.

In trying to lead Bond into a trap on the island of San Monique, her deceptions are seen through immediately as she cannot keep her directions consistent. Her histrionics at various points are as irritating to Bond as they are to the audience. She's finally killed after running away from 007, winding up shot in the back by one of Kananga’s deadly scarecrow figures.

This wraps up what can only be considered a terrible mission from her point of view, achieving nothing whatsoever.

Chest thumping James Bond and Haruki Murakami fanatic living in China. Once had a fever dream about riding a rowboat with Davos Seaworth. He hasn't updated this section since Game of Thrones was cool, and boy does it show.
