    All 4 feature Bond with a sniper rifle but in DAD he doesn't shoot?

    Not bad, not bad at all. Right idea, but wrong OOO.

    FRWL? The only one where he shoots someone with the sniper rifle?

    All feature a sniper rifle but FRWL is OOO because Bond loans his sniper to someone else to shoot?

    That's the one @goldenswissroyale. A Bond sniper scene that goes as expected. Been building the camera gun so it was the first theme that popped into mind.

    This was a good guess too and a rare occurrence that someone else uses his weapon.

    Thanks to everyone who played (of which there are too many to list) - finally we can move on to the next round. Phew!

    Bond is seen swinging on high but in OP the swinging is on a natural vine and not a rope..

    Would we not have to include TND and NTTD into the mix as well?

    @thedove very good guess. It is indeed something Bond is doing in all three movies but no ropes involved.

    @Benny Good thought. It is okay to go with only three movies/names etc. even if there would be more fitting movies (at least in my opinion...as long as the connection is obvious enough)

    Bond burns the enemy with fire, but in OP he doesn't directly set them on fire, instead they fall on the hot coals.

    LTK

    LTK's initialisation doesn't feature a vowel.

    Smartarsery aside, LTK as it doesn't feature the circus?

    Nothing to do with circus or setting someone on fire. But one moment I have in mind is only minutes before one of these scenes mentioned by @QBranch

    Good catch @Benny I am always a bit fuzzy on whether we select things that only happen in three films or whether we can choose something in common with three films but it appears more often.

    Bond uses a knife in all three, OOO is LTK it is against a non-living thing (the drugs)

  • goldenswissroyalegoldenswissroyale Switzerland

    Nope. It is something Bond is only doing in these three movies (at least I can't think of a 4th one). At least two of these moments are very well known.

    Hint: Think about the action scenes.

    He pulls a wheelie in each one, I guess in OP it's a rear as opposed to side wheelie, and he's not driving.

    Very close but wrong ooo. What kind of wheelie is Bond doing in all three and which one is the ooo?
  • thedovethedove hiding in the Greek underworld
    Posts: 5,766
    Two wheeled wheelies, with OP being OOO has Bond is just the passenger for the wheelie

    To be fair, in LTK it's a nine-wheel wheelie :D

    Oh I forgot in OP he also pulls a wheelie in the Merc as well as the Tuk Tuk, so I guess he's not a passenger in all of them.

    Two wheeled wheelies (side wheelie) in all of them. But Bond is the driver in all of them (Orlov's Merc). I thought about LTK as the ooo: no car but a truck instead.
    I would say @mtm is the winner since he delivered more important parts to solve it but good job from both of you.

    Was thinking mono/manuals popped in all three. Couldn't remember a wheelie done by the Merc - must be time for a re-watch.

    OP is always rewatchable you know that @QBranch
    The Tuk-tuk performs a wheelie, the Merc does a side wheelie as does the Mustang in DAF and the tanker in LTK.

    Even I had to check the scene in OP: I wasn't sure about this side wheelie: the whole train action bit in OP is so spectacular that the side wheelie doesn't even stand out (despite being well done, too).

    That whole train sequence in OP is extremely well done. The logistics of it and the stunts that were a part of it were all quite impressive.

    Yeah it is curiously easy to forget despite being an impressive stunt- there's just so much going on in that portion of the film. The only reason it stands out for me is that it shows bullets bouncing off the underside of the car, that bit being famously bulletproof of course :D

    Thanks for awarding the win even though I didn't quite get it! I guess that means it's down to me again; okay, I'm going to pick the same first two films and change the third:

    Naked women in a swimming pool (or so I'm told), except in DAF the woman has panties on (that's what I heard).

    Oh that's a good one, I hadn't thought of that but wish I had. No, that's not where I'm going I'm afraid.

    All feature Mi6 experts in the briefing scenes, but OP is OOO has the expert accompanies Bond to the field at the auction
