Christopher Walken (James Shannon) in 'Dogs of War'

Ruthless Walken stages a coup to overthrow the leader of the Republic of Zangaro so his boss can get his hands on the all-important platinum deposits.

2

The Mangalores in 'The Fifth Element'

Hired by Zorg to help the Great Evil find four very important stones, these disgusting creatures are aggressive soldiers-for-hire, but can't function if you kill their leader.

3

William Sadler (Colonel Stuart) in 'Die Hard 2'

Sadler, a dead-wringer for Erik Prince in his younger days, nails the role of cut-throat Colonel Stuart as his team of mercenaries play havoc with Dulles Airport air traffic control in a bid to secure the release of Latin American drug lord/dictator General Ramon Esperanza. John McClane had other ideas.

4

Tommy Lee Jones (William Bill Strannix) 'Under Siege'

Jones is a psychopathic rogue CIA operative, a description often associated with Erik Prince, except that, as far as we know, he has yet to takeover a nuclear warship only to be foiled by the cook, which in Strannix's case was a fit Steven Seagal before he became a Serbian citizen.

5

Mike Myers (Dr Evil) in Austin Powers

Dr Evil plots to take over the world and generally wreak havoc. His $9 billion corporation Virtucon employs a number of mercenaries, although none were a match for the International Man of Mystery known as Austin Powers.
