Best henchman in cinema history?

[DanMMAleague]

Danny Trejo in desperado also

Fuck me that's an ugly Mofo.

Didn't he learn to act whilst he was in jail for armed robbery?

[Cid]

The guy with the assless chaps in Mad Max 2.

[the ambush]

Isnt he technically the main villain?

I would say he and Dick Jones were both the main villians in Robocop. To me the term henchman is open to wide interpretation though. In short, Clarence Boddicker and Joshua are your classic henchmen.

Robocop - Clarence Boddicker

Robocop - ED 209

Lethal Weapon - Joshua

Cobra - the Night Stalker

My favorite is Luca Brasi.

Always wanted him to have more screentime. He's the archetype of a mafia henchman.

Ah.. wah Yuen, yes. He must be most memorable to me with Qiu Yuen in kung fu hustle.

Random fact: the name Yuen is not actually his Surname. It's take as a sign of respect toward his teacher from the Hong Kong acting school to which many of the HK martial arts guys went.

Darth Vader and Johnny Ringo are no henchmen. Vader was basically commander of the entire imperial army.
