 6.1 Rent-a-henchman
Busey is invariably a psycho henchman that the protagonist has to overcome at some point. He's big, he's bad and he's usually immune to pain! Notable examples: Lethal Weapon Under Siege The Flagship's rating:
 
6 Rent-a-henchman
Always the lower tier of henchman, Al nevertheless guarantees to impress with his five seconds of fame when he runs on with a sub machine gun and gets instantly taken down in a hail of lead. Notable examples: Die Hard Lethal Weapon Beverly Hills Cop III Showdown in Little Tokyo The Flagship's rating:
 
6.4 Rent-a-henchman
More often than not, Trejo is seen as a background latino gangbanger. Covered in tats and with a trademark handlebar moustache, he probably has killed people before in real life, so he pulls off the role with aplomb! Notable examples Con Air Desperado From Dusk till Dawn Once upon a time in Mexico The Flagship's rating:
7.8 Rent-a-villain
Jeremy Irons is a legend, no question. Sadly he seems to get hired for his accent rather than his acting prowess. Notable examples Dungeons & Dragons Die Hard: With a Vengeance The Lion King Time Machine Appallosa The Flagship's rating:
 
7.6 Rent-a-villain
Dennis Hopper solves all of life's problems with Amyl Nitrate. If only it was that simple. Notable examples Speed Super Mario Bros. Waterworld Land of the Dead The Flagship's rating:
6.7 Rent-a-villain
Is he French? Is he Turkish? Who knows, the only thing for certain is that he's an unhinged loon who is usually in the wrong when he's playing someone on the right side of the law. Notable examples Bad Boys Dobermann Kiss of the Dragon 
6.4 Rent-a-black toughguy
Ving Rhames is adept in complex and deep roles, such as nightclub bouncer and no-nonsense tough guys! Notable examples Striptease Con Air Dawn of the Dead Pulp Fiction The Flagship's rating:
 
6.9 Rent-a-black toughguy
The superior black tough guy, whose build and stature ensure a greater class of villain. i.e, he's probably more expensive than Ving Rhames. Notable examples Sin City Daredevil Scorpion King Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li The Flagship's rating:
7.3 Rent-a-pervert
Salacious, slimy, sleazy and downright disgusting, Spader's your man if you want a sexual deviant who is governed by bizarre lusty fantasies. Notable examples Crash Secretary Sex, Lies and Videotapes The Flagship's rating:
 
7.6 Rent-an-edgy teenager
He's so weird, he's so quirky, he even auditioned for the bag loving freak in American Beauty. We get the point, you're the flagship of the myspace generation! Notable examples Donnie Darko The Day After Tomorrow Bubble Boy The Flagship's rating:
 
6.6 Rent-an-ageing leader
If you want an old war veteran who seems to be tiptoeing around the idea of one last surge for power or moment of glory, look no further than the Coxster. Notable examples Troy X2: X-Men United The Bourne Supremacy The Flagship's rating:
5.4 Rent-a-sidekick
Need some comic relief? Maybe even a sidekick who borderlines on the retarded? Get his agent on the phone. Notable examples Home Alone 2 50 First Dates Judge Dredd Big Daddy The Flagship's rating:
6.7 Rent-a-fop
Infuriating, stuttering, inept, blabbering and generally useless at everything, look no further than Hugh for the archetypal lovestruck fool. Notable examples Love Actually Notting Hill Four Weddings and a Funeral Micky Blue Eyes Sense and Sensibility The Flagship's rating:
5.2 Rent-a-cop
The huggable teddy-bear of a cop that would probably let even the most sinister of villains off with just a slapped wrist and a terse verbal warning. Things aren't quite all right on the home front though... Notable examples Die Hard Die Hard 2 Turner and Hooch The Flagship's rating:
6.3 Rent-a-cockney
Painting a disgraceful picture of Londoners everywhere. He's untalented and boring, the kid that managed to avoid being bullied at school by telling jokes. Gets any roles because his accent is oh so funny. Notable examples Severance Human Traffic The Football Factory The Business Outlaw The Flagship's rating:
 
6.3 Rent-a-cockney
I still maintain that he ruins any film that he's in. Another larger than life East Londoner who 'dont take na shit of naawan' Notable examples King Arthur Scum Indiana Jones IV Sexy Beast Nil By Mouth Quadrophenia The Flagship's rating:
7.5 Rent-a-cockney hardman
The all action hard man from London. God only knows how he always ends up working for American police forces or in European crime syndicates. Notable examples War The Italian Job Mean Machine Snatch Crank ...everything. The Flagship's rating:
7.4 Rent-a-period drama
Apparently there are still single women all over the world who live in Austen-ian fantasies. The heroine of choice in big screen adaptations of this frightful period is a woman so skeletal that she often fails to deliver even her own accent convincingly. Notable examples Pride and Prejudice The Duchess Atonement Pirates of the Caribbean The Flagship's rating:
5.1 Rent-a-man mountain
Jonesey is massive, there's no doubt about it. Where better to employ his talents than against pocket-sized Eastern Martial Arts specialists! Notable examples Troy The Warrior King Fearless The Condemned The Flagship's rating:
6.5 Rent-a-slag
Eva Mendes must be on speed-dial #1 when it comes to needing some naked totty with attitude. Almost always employed as a gangster's wife with an allergy to clothing. Notable examples Training Day We Own The Night 2 Fast 2 Furious The Flagship's rating:
5.9 Rent-a-slag
If you want a slag that knows she's a slag though, look no further. She looks so fake these days that not even the next series of Terminator would be pleased to call her model a humanoid. Notable examples: Scary Movie Starsky & Hutch Epic Movie Meet the Spartans ...everything The Flagship's rating:
6.2 Rent-a-bimbo
Generic, petite, blonde, the classic traits of a bimbo. It kind of worked in the initial Scary Movie film, but to go on and build a career out of it? That's weak! She's not even hot! Notable examples: Scary Movie Scary Movie 2 Scary Movie 3 Lost in Translation House Bunny Hot Chick The Flagship's rating:
6.8 Rent-some-girlpower
Michelle is big and tough and she's out there to break up conventions and stick two fingers up at the sexist establishment and she's in your face and she'll kick your arse and anything a man can do she can do better and on and on and on... Notable examples: The Fast and the Furious SWAT Resident Evil Girlfight The Flagship's rating:
6.9 Rent-a-scientist
It doesn't matter what discipline, nor weather he is an anti-social loner or a wise-cracking, smug genius, Goldblum can play them all. At least he's not giving us a bad name, I wish real scientists were like him. Notable examples: Jurassic Park The Fly Independence Day The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou The Lost World: Jurassic Park The Flagship's rating:
7 Rent-a-general
No doubt Ironside is one of the best in the business, but he is more than capable of being a menacing villain as well as a military mastermind, Hollywood! Notable examples: Starship Troopers Terminator: Salvation X-Men: First Class Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars Highlander II: The Quickening Maximum Velocity The Flagship's rating:

Shame on you, dude.

What's wrong with you.
