    TLD Bond's cocktail has a Mickey.
    I'm afraid this exceeds my knowledge of English slang. Can you help me out with the meaning?

    Could have phrased it better, Bond was slipped a Mickey. A Mickey Finn is a drug like chloral hydrate slipped into a drink to incapacitate a person.

    Bond wears all black stealth outfits, but in TLD it's government issued?

    Not still..... None were correct I'm afraid, okay here's the clue:

    Clue #1: Bond rarely do this, really, if my memory serves, he only did this in these three films.

    Is it maybe that he uses a knife? The DAD one is a gadget so OOO?

    Clue 2: This aspect in these three films was actually a contradiction to what Bond really is

    TB he lets Quist live
    TLD he purposely misses the shot on Kara
    DAD he doesn't kill anyone when he escapes in Hong Kong

    DAD is OOO has it involves multiple people

    Clue #3: Bond goes Mission Impossible (think of it).....

    All three films feature a fake death:

    TB Bond pretends to be hit by the propeller of the boat
    TLD Pushkin is fake assassinated by Bond
    DAD Bond is fakes cardiac arrest to escape the medical facility.

    TLD is OOO as the fake death is caused and planned by Bond

    Last clue for today:

    Clue #4: The answer is in the PTS!

    Is it that Bond works as part of a team in all of the PTS, except in TLD where he's trying to beat the rest of the team?

    Right idea, but wrong OOO.

    You're almost there! @mtm

    Special clue:

    1. The OOO, this thing didn't happened in the PTS.
    2. The answer lies on what type of people does Bond worked with.

    Bond is with a bunch of 00s, but in TB, they're not infiltrating anything, they're just at a briefing?

    Bond is with a bunch of 00s, but in TB, they're not infiltrating anything, they're just at a briefing?

    You're almost right, but since your answer is the closest to the one I'm finding for with a correct OOO, I'm giving you this!

    TB is the OOO, because yes, Bond, along with the other 00s didn't get to infiltrate something, unlike in both TLD and DAD.

    But my mind is, in both TLD and DAD, Bond gets to work in a team with other 00 agents (Both the PTS had Bond teamed up in a field mission with the other 00 agents), meanwhile in the Thunderball underwater fight scene, he's not with them.

    But I know, it would be very hard for you or to anyone to guess it, since yours is the closest, I'm giving it to you, mate!

    Explaining the clues here:

    Clue #1: Bond rarely do this, really, if my memory serves, he only did this in these three films.
    It rarely does! He rarely worked with a team of 00 agents (and only in this film, where he'd worked with them in Gibraltar and in North Korea)! Maybe Goldeneye count as he worked with 006? But again, not as a team.

    Clue 2: This aspect in these three films was actually a contradiction to what Bond really is
    Yes, he's a loner, he preferred to work in some missions alone, then to have him in a teamwork was really a contradiction to what Bond really is: a Lone agent.

    Clue #3: Bond goes Mission Impossible (think of it).....
    As a team, Ethan Hunt used to work in a team or with a team.

    Clue #4: The answer is in the PTS!
    Yes, both TLD and DAD where this happened, Bond worked in a team with other 00s in the PTS.

    ***Special Clue***
    1. The OOO, this thing didn't happened in the PTS.
    The underwater fight in TB

    2. The answer lies on what type of people does Bond worked with.
    Those 00 agents.



    Over to you! @ProfJoeButcher

    Is he in a team in the TLD PTS? I guess I always saw it as a bit more of a race between them somehow, but you're probably right- M does set it up as their joint mission.

    I'll have another go then...

    DAF
    LALD
    MR
    TLD

    As usual, they all have something in common, but one is different.

    All feature men in lab/doctor coats, but TLD is OOO has the people wearing them are imposters.

    That is a very clever answer! But I was thinking of something related to gadgets.

    Hmm three of the films feature a gadget watch, with DAF not featuring a gadget watch?

    All featured a vehicle gadget: MR has the hovercraft, DAF has moonbuggy, LALD has paraglider, TLD is the OOO since it's in the Aston Martin and it's just a car

    LALD: Bond kills Kananga with the gas pellet
    MR: Bond kills Drax with the dart gun
    TLD: Bond kills Whitaker with the key fob
    DAF is OOO because Bond doesn't kill a villain with any of his gadgets

    Well, he kills a fake Blofeld with the repelling climbing gun thing. You're very much on the right track though. The gadgets you named from TLD and MR are both relevant.

    He has gadgets which have double functions in three of them (watch magnet/buzzsaw; dart gun stun/kill; key fob gas/bomb) so DAF is the OOO because.. erm, he uses the climbing gun as a weapon even though it's not meant as one? Not really sure about the OOO!

    That's not it, but I'll go with that anyway!

    These movies all have gadgets used more than once (which is fairly unusual), but in LALD, it's not used to kill anyone.

    But your answer works well enough for me.

    Great, thanks. Yes I can't think of too many gadgets used twice. FRWL briefcase and TND phone maybe? I suppose the ring in DAD too.

    Okay, here's a quick one which I hope is okay.

    Thunderball
    Never Say Never Again
    Die Another Day

    Bond doesn't wear the jet pack in DAD.

    Oh that's a good one, probably better than mine actually! But not the one I have in mind- mine is an action which Bond engages in though.

    Bond eats an apple in NSNA but grapes in TB and DAD.

    Bingo! Nice work, I was worried it was a bit of a rubbish one but I'm glad someone got it. Over to you.
