Behind every successful evildoer, there’s usually a good, hardworking henchman (or henchmen, if it’s a team effort) toiling behind the scenes to help make the boss’ evil dreams come true. As a tribute to these often unacknowledged evildoers, we present Henchmen for Hire’s completely biased List of Top 10 Henchmen:
#10 – The Minions from Despicable Me
#9 – The Wicked Witch of the West’s Flying Monkeys from The Wizard of Oz
#8 – Renfield from Dracula
#7 – Jaws (as played by Richard Kiel in the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me)
#6 – Dr. Frankenstein’s Igor
#5 – Mr. Smee – Captain Hook’s right hand (?) man from Peter Pan
#4 – Mini Me from the Austin Powers Movies
#3 – The Joker’s gal-pal Harley Quinn
#2 – The Stormtroopers from Star Wars
#1 – Oddjob – from the James Bond movie Goldfinger
We may have missed a henchman or two, but these are the best ones that come to mind for us. Are there any glaring omissions of outstanding henchpeople? let us know what you think!
