Henchmen: The Documentary

This picture isn't right, but I am under the gun time-wise, so it will have to do.  What I really need was just one of those generic dudes from something like The Man With the Golden Gun, someone who, as the whole secret evil base is being blown to smithereens, goes tumbling over the edge of a skywalk or balcony.  Who are these guys?  That's what my documentary would cover.  Like a Spinal Tap-style affair, it would go the funerals and meet with the families of those nameless Under Siege 2-type hired goons who have no lines to speak of and get shot and are forgotten?  But are they?  The best part is, unlike Christopher Guest's stuff, this one would be terribly sad.  Russian moms weeping in voiceover while mulleted eight year old soccer player holding trophy is shown: "We never wanted him to do this kind of work, but the money [trails off]..."
