"Mooks" is a generic term for those gun-toting thugs who
get mown down in droves in any movie worth the name.
Mooks come in three kinds - standard/corporate, gangland
or military.
Corporate mooks wear dark suits and dark glasses - the
name refers to their appearance, not their affiliation. They
are found in large numbers serving evil corporations to be
sure, but also unnamed, ill-intentioned government
organisations, or organised crime.
Gangland mooks are of course, your standard gang
members.
Military mooks wear unflattering camo gear and tend to
have access to better weapons. They are found mostly in the
less attractive sorts of banana republics.
Note that while mooks are no match for heroic stars,
they're still quite capable of whuppin' it up on your
average citizen.
