Top 10 Movie Henchmen


hi go go done it a busy movie villain
can’t be everywhere at once that’s where
these cronies come in welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 movie
henchmen after we call the police
they’ll waste hours trying to negotiate
and they couldn’t tear the building
apart looking for this man but until
then we do not alter the plan for this
list we’re taking a look at characters
from films that do the bidding of
villains we’ve excluded Darth Vader
because while he was the right-hand man
to the Emperor he was much more than an
ordinary disposable thug what is thy
bidding my master
we’re also excluding Disney henchmen
because we’ve already got a list for
that and as we may be revealing the
final outcomes for some of these
sidekicks a spoiler alert may be in
order death comes for us all
Waku sake but something much worse comes
for you number 10 the nazgûl the Lord
of the Rings franchise at one time the
nazgûl or ring wraiths were men they
were once men great kings of men thence
out on the deceiver gave to them nine
rings
after becoming absolutely corrupted by
the rings of power however they turned
into some of the scariest creatures in
all of middle-earth Danone mascot ruled
and commanded by Sauron they seek the
One Ring day and night wearing black
robes and brandishing swords is it going
to die he’s passing into the shadow
world yes soon become a wraith like that
feared by all decent creatures and
tokens tales these horrible bloodhounds
made everyone skin crawl when they first
rode their hellish horses onto the
screen
one particular stand out is the witch
king who took the helm of Saiyans forces
during the final war number nine agent
cm Kruger Elysium activate Kruger when
we heard the district nines breakout
star sharlto copley had been cast as a
devious villain in Neil Blomkamp’s
follow-up film many of us wondered how
Copley would do in the role
hello nickel guy it’s the sweet Dee man
coming when we saw his turn as agent
Kruger however we knew it was a genius
move
Kruger is a loose cannon mercenary who’s
ready willing and able to complete
almost any task although his boss may be
pulling his strings he is truly the
force of evil in Elysium
for God’s sake Kruger are you listening
to me outfitted with an exoskeleton that
increases his already impressive skills
Kruger completely steals the show number
8 Tatsu the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
franchise
yes master Tatsu
Yoshi Shiro Obata who is a swordsman and
martial artist in real life brought a
true gravitas to the role of a strong
silent second-in-command to the one and
only shredder caused me enough trouble
no shredder perhaps one of the only men
who could turn a gang of petty criminals
into the elite army known as the Foot
Clan tatsu’s history may be a mystery
but his actions leave nothing to the
imagination he will do whatever the
shredders plan entails to take over NYC
there would be no mistake though the
franchise offered up several other
henchmen such as toca and Roz our man
Tatsu stands head and shoulders above
the rest
vanish number seven the three storms
thunder rain and lightning Big Trouble
in Little China tre your card to rights
live to talk about it this trio is
comprised of three powerful beings
imbued with the powers of thunder
lightning and rain and after which
they’re named just listen to the old
porkchop Express er now take his advice
and on a dark and stormy night when the
Lightning’s crash and the thunders
rolling and the rains coming down and
sheeps thick is led posing as mere
executives in their masters shell
company they serve lopen loyally to the
bitter end and now my beloved disciples
the moment of truth indeed alone once
their true nature is revealed they fight
our heroes again and again though none
of them proves to be a match for Jack
Burton or Wang Chi the storms greatly
contribute to the otherworldly feel of
the action that takes place throughout
Big Trouble in Little China cool number
six the minions the despicable Me
franchise hey Dave listen up please
while felonious GRU eventually sees the
error of his ways and becomes a hero of
sorts the minions are still loyal little
henchmen nonetheless who unlike most
henchmen enjoy a great relationship with
their boss
these petite yellow creatures are
difficult to control as they follow
their own every whim and speak their own
language nevertheless they maintain a
close relationship with GRU his children
and one another popular enough to appear
in several short films and a spin-off
movie
very few henchmen managed to break out
as stars themselves without rebelling
what’s happening pull my minions number
5 Karl brusky die hard no one kills him
but me Karl reigned as the most
interesting of Hans Gruber’s henchmen
who listened to me he would be
neutralized already that’s saying a lot
considering this group of high-level
thieves also consisted of the
gun-wielding chocolate munching Bowie
Carl really brought his AGame however
especially when John McClane killed his
brother this resulted in a vengeful
fight involving chains guns and fists
we’re both professionals this is
personal then just when everything
appeared to be resolved Karl returns to
take one last shot at McClane can Carl
please come back from the dead for a
second time for die hard six number four
Bob the goon Batman a seemingly
unassuming figure in a film filled with
over-the-top characters it appeared
unlikely that Bob would be all that
memorable take off the mask
against all odds though this goon has
spawned something of a cult following
over the years the only man who seemed
to get the Joker both before and after
his disfiguring accident Bob would have
stood by his side no matter what they
were faced with must possess strength to
inflict pain Bob we’ve got a flying
mouse to kill and I want to clean my
claw killed by the Clown Prince of Crime
himself out of frustration the Joker may
have loved mayhem but we still believe
he must have regretted killing his
number-one guy on some level
number three Luca Brasi the Godfather
his name is Luca Brasi
Vito Corleone doesn’t make decisions
lightly so when your hand-picked as his
personal enforcer who are you to argue
pasties out of his own wound Gymkhana me
little lady diver dingy hmm with Luca by
his side he’ll never want to refuse one
of Don Corleone’s offers if the
Godfather needs anyone scared or killed
he Alisha’s his fiercest ally Luca is
like a pitbull whose bite massively
outweighs his bark Luca Brasi held a gun
to his head and my father was shoot him
that either his brains or a signature
would be on the contract embodied by a
former professional wrestler and
enforcer for the Colombo crime family
Leni Montana brought his life experience
to this role and it shows number two
gogo Yubari Kill Bill Vol 1 when we
think of henchmen we doubt gogo is the
vision that comes to mind
well Tomas is not on let me cut on I
them after seeing her in gleefully
violent action though it’s impossible to
leave her off a list like this gogo may
be young but what she lacks in age she
makes up for
wielding a chain whip and rope dart this
seventeen-year-old schoolgirl is just as
deadly as the crazy 88-yard I know
Cuyahoga
anything akin to a change Beast waiting
to be released go go clearly relishes
the opportunity to show off her skills
and we only wish we’ve got to see more
see what I mean
alas gogo may be good but the bride is
better before we reveal our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
once I know it’s there then I’ll tell
you where he is okay not okay why not
now we don’t even know that how they are
you don’t kill people you don’t know
that’s a rule are you ready to die
little girl it might be if I keep
looking at that shitstain color face
number one jaws The Spy Who Loved Me and
Moonraker do you know it not socially
his names jaws he kills people a Bond
movie without henchmen would be like
peanut butter without jelly interesting
while there are many greats like the Hat
throwing odd job the metal mouth jaws
cast the largest shadow jaws I’m
assigning you the task of recovering the
microfilm copy of the tracking system a
man with a menacing presence
overpowering strength and ingenuity in
the art of killing we certainly love to
watch jaws at work but we wouldn’t want
to run into him in a dark alley he must
have it or you wouldn’t be here call
George he proved to be such a memorable
henchman that he appeared in multiple
double-oh-seven movies and we can only
hope we’ll see another bond henchman
take a similar bite out of mr. bond
someday
