    No; Bond is only involved in two of my scenes.
    - All scenes are quite well-known.
    - In two scenes, basically the same thing happens, but that isn't obvious at first glance because in one movie it's shown in an unrealistic way.
    - at least one of the scenes occurs at the end of the movie

    Some clues have been added by and by. Some more:
    - Actually two scenes are at the end of the movie
    - a gadget, sort of, is involved

    Flame throwers are shown in all the movies:

    LALD Bond fries the snake
    MR Bond discovers Holly's gadget flamethrower
    LTK Bond uses a lighter to fry Sanchez

    MR is OOO as the flamethrower doesn't hurt anyone.

    No, but you're right in that in one of the scenes an animal, at least indirectly, is involved.
    - The scenes are among the most memorable ones of these films.
    - my focus has got something to do with physics (but nothing complicated)
    - the guesses so far have been right in that one or the other scene isn't very peaceful
    - impressive surroundings in two of the scenes
    - a quip in one or the other scene
    - the scenes are quite violent
    - not everyone stays alive
    - actually there are several deaths

    Pressure is part of the death of Krest and Kananga.
    MR is the ooo because Bond is almost killed due to pressure in the centrifuge.

    Good guess, but you've got only two of my three scenes.
    As I had said, in two scenes basically the same thing happens, but in one scene it's depicted in a very different and unrealistic way.

    Hmm, I was initially thinking of gravity and falling with tree assassin, Solitaire's guard and Dario but looking at @goldenswissroyale's answer and your clues I'd probably have to go with
    LTK Krest in the decompression chamber, MR Drax ejected into space and LALD Kananga blown up by compressed air.

    I suppose OOO would be MR as the cyanide tipped dart causing death in 30 seconds probably killed Drax before the asphyxiation and decompression would get to him??

    Yes, you've got the right scenes, congrats 👍 And MR is the OOO indeed; actually, because it isn't shown how Drax explodes in the vacuum. I guess the vacuum should kill him on the spot.
    Over to you

    Having just looked up what it's like to be ejected into space without a spacesuit it doesn't sound fun! Good one, I put the icing on the cake but @goldenswissroyale baked it!

    Here's what I think will be a very quick one
    DAF, MR, TWINE

    No behind the scenes knowledge required, just what you see on screen

    DAF MR TWINE

    DAF - Bond shoots Blofeld's double instead of Blofeld OOO involuntarily
    MR - Bond shoots assassin instead of bird, seems to miss
    TWINE - Zukovsky shoots metal ring instead of Bond, seems to miss?

    Or perhaps TWINE OOO, Zukovsky doesn't shoot a person

    All three show Bond diving. However MR is OOO has the diving is of the sky diving variety. ;)

    You don't need to think about at all for this OOO

    Moon and world are round. Diamonds aren't but we see them in space pointing a laser to earth...

    Nice 'out of the box' thinking but it's not that @goldenswissroyale

    I'm sorry, my previous wasn't any help given I forgot the most important word, it should have read:

    You don't need to think about Bond at all for this OOO

    DAF Charles Grey appears in his second film
    MR Geoffrey Keen appears in his second film
    TWINE Robbie Coltrane appears in his second film

    DAF is OOO as the actor is playing a different character!

    Great thought @thedove but not what I was thinking of. However keep thinking about the number two!

    DAF - 'diamond teeth' at the dentist's OOO teeth not out of diamonds
    MR - steel teeth
    TWINE - gold teeth, Mr. Bullion?

    The teeth answer is great, better than my answer I would day. But its not what I'm looking for, although one set of your dentures will help!

    “I Want To Hold Your Hand”

    DAF - Wint & Kidd
    MR - Jaws & Dolly
    TWINE - Elektra & Renard

    Many possible OOO
    DAF - both men.
    MR - villain eventually turns to good side.
    TWINE - Elektra holds Renard’s hand with both her hands.

    Spot on @R1s1ngs0n they all feature villains with a romantic partner but (in my case) MR was OOO as the partner isn't also a villain.

    As you say many ways of looking at it, so won't hold that against you. Well done.

    Ah great! I didn't think of that. It's so funny how rare it is for the villain to be married or have a girlfriend. There's Carver, Le Chiffre (maybe)... any others?

    Kept " girlfriends" are quite common.

    It'd be quite fun to have a husband and wife team as villains, wouldn't it? Both as bad as each other :)

    Quite a few actually...

    Largo and Domino
    Kananga had his own ‘projects’ for Solitaire
    Scaramanga and Andrea
    Zorin and Mayday
    Koskov and Kara
    Sanchez and Lupe

    I think that about covers all of them.

    Perhaps Kristatos and Lisl, Elektra and Renard, and Silva and Severine?
