    You are of course most right, @Samuel001 (and @Murdock). I have amended my contribution to reflect this.

    No unique connections between two films yet, then. Perhaps...

    CR - Bond hides in a corridor and listens to a bug using an earpiece.

    Belatedly, I realise OHMSS and TWINE are linked as the only two in which Q appears in the pre-title sequence.

    AVTAK- Both films end with Gogol in M's office inquiring as to Bond's whereabouts wanting to thank him for a job well done.

    We're still only looking at unique connections between two films (only). However I think it's true to say that AVTAK and GE are the two films in which the main villain falls to his death; the others are lesser characters.

    Looks like we're nearing the end of this project since the number of remaining films decreases every time. Let's cover both Dalton outings together...

    THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

    LTK - Dalton as Bond.

    LICENCE TO KILL

    SF - Signature gun


    Can anyone link anything else from Dalton's two outings to a later Bond film in the series?

    Nobody's mentioned that in all five Glen films, Bond's main ally is killed and there's an animal scare.

    That's because, as explained many times already, the point is to find connections that are unique to two films in the series.

    Is there any other significant character beside Locque who is not heard to speak?

    Can I disallow Oddjob on account of his "aha!" when finding the golf ball? Always thought this slightly contradicted Goldfinger describing him as mute. Tricky one.
