Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best
19. Mr Kidd & Mr Wint (Diamonds Are Forever, 1971)
Underestimate Mr Kidd and Mr Wint at your own risk - this duo of destroyers are known for their creative execution methods. Indeed, among the eerier images of Diamonds Are Forever is the sight of Kidd and Wint cheerfully walking away hand-in-hand after killing a hapless dentist with a scorpion.
And that's not all - the wise-cracking lovers won't let a single life slip away without sending them off with a witty barb - not that the deceased will appreciate them.
Mr Wint's not very impressed by the notice Mr Kidd takes of Tiffany Case's attractive features - and he's even less impressed by James Bond's habit of surviving.
The professional hitmen are used to seeing their many targets accept their fates without resistance, so 007's insistence on getting away from repeated assassination attempts probably starts to seem almost rude. As such, they're forced to tail him to the film's final scene, posing as a pair of cruise ship waiters.
Needless to say, they're cruising for a bruising - after casually setting Mr Kidd aflame, Bond tosses his partner overboard while Wint is tied to a ticking explosive between his legs. Who'd have thought that Tiffany Case's bizarre "blow up your pants" line was prophetic?
Bomb voyage... Mr Wint.
