Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best

This vaunted skier and He-Man impersonator may not be the most memorable of henchmen, but he makes a nuisance of himself throughout For Your Eyes Only.

First introduced as a harmless (though cranky) biathlon athlete, Kriegler quickly reveals himself to be gunning for more than a medal. Though his marksmanship is on point when aiming at static targets, Kriegler somehow turns into a regular Stormtrooper when it comes to shooting Bond.

He has another chance to avenge his prior efforts later in the film when he again shows up at the mountain-set climax for a bout of fisticuffs. That in itself gives him a little push in the rankings - lesser henchmen would've disappeared entirely after squandering an opportunity to take out 007.

The main weak point of Kriegler is that, despite trying to kill Bond on multiple occasions, he doesn't exactly distinguish himself to His Majesty's Finest. Take his henchman colleague Emile Locque, for instance. Locque puts himself directly in Bond's firing line by killing one of his allies. Kriegler, on the other hand, never amounts to much more than "immediate threat." He's a speedbump, not a target - forgotten as soon as he falls.
