Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best

During a routine double-oh training exercise in Gibraltar, this marksman fails to act dead in response to being shot with a paintball gun by a practising SAS operative. His lack of respect for paintball etiquette isn't the reason he draws the ire of 007, however.

He's no double-oh at all, you see; he's an imposter sent to murder three legitimate British agents while framing General Pushkin and Russian intelligence. He's almost successful too - or would be, if only the third on his hit list wasn't James Bond.

Having killed a couple of Lazenby and Moore lookalikes, the ruthless imposter leads Timothy Dalton's Bond on a merry chase around the island's cliffs during a raucous Land Rover rampage. It's a miracle that the distracted wheelman then avoids (most) innocents in the course of his attempts to steer while being assaulted by the ultimate backseat driver in 007.

He's unable to stop the explosive-laden Rover from careening off a cliff, however, and were this any other franchise, we'd be forced to worry that this might signal bad news for both occupants. Of course, Bond ditches the perilous drop via parachute, leaving the imposter 00 to shriek before the vehicle goes ka-boom.

It's all thanks to his interloping presence that The Living Daylights begins with a bang.
