More of a group effort, this category. However, if you have a particular favourite and wish them to be the sole recipient of your vote, knock yourself out. Before they do.
I prefer to see them as one amorphous mass of naughtiness. The second-stringers, if you like, whether or not they do actually get a pop at Bond and whether or not they are working together.
Having deathbitten and deathstabbed and deathgouged our way through main Villain(s) and main Henchperson(s), suggestions for this non-exhaustive hostile gestalt of leftovers:
Diamonds are Forever – the likes of Saxby, whatever it is he is meant to be doing. All those very, very odd people in the pre-credits sequence. Morton Slumber, an obvious asexual hermaphrodite if there ever was. Peter Franks. Mrs Sodding Whistler. All human life is here, and some of it not entirely human. Connery’s tailor?
Casino Royale – various people Bond throws down the stairs, that parkour bloke and spavined Michael Stipe looky-likey Kratt. And probably Mr White here too. Gettler, no doubt, and the two perps from the pre-credits. And whoever decided the wristwatch product placement was going to sound convincing.
For Your Eyes Only – Charles Dance with a speargun thingy in his back. Bemuscled simpleton Kriegler. Cuban hitman Hector Gonzales, who gave Melina valuable moustache cultivation hints whilst – for reasons never explained – giving her a lift. I dunno, the speccy bloke in the other submarine, and Margaret Thatcher.
The Living Daylights – various Russians, the Gibraltar assassin and the gaoler who appears to be some sort of Scouser. With the benefit of hindsight, the Taliban.
Tomorrow Never Dies – it’s Dr Kaufmann time! It’s never not Dr Kaufmann time. Assorted other bods, including that morbidly obese Ricky bloke. Not Gervais.
