    This is good enough. I give it to you. Maybe you want to guess why I had NTTD as the ooo?

    Because Bond touched or held the stuffed toy?

    Thanks your clue certainly assisted me. I can still picture that hideous stuffed animal from TLD.

    FRWL
    TSWLM
    TND

    What is the OOO?

    TND

    What is the OOO?
    Bond cooperates with a female agent hailing from the communist bloc.
    FRWL is OOO as the cooperation stems from a ruse set up by SPECTRE.
    or
    TND is OOO as Wai Lin is Chinese while the other two are Russians.

    All films featured a decoding machines:

    FRWL - Lektor/Spektor machine (used by Soviet Intelligence to de-compile coded and highly sensitive documents, later acquired by SPECTRE and planning to sell it back to the Soviets).
    TND - GPS Encoder (Americans used to control navigational satellites, later stolen by Carver).
    TSWLM - Microfilm (Photographic reproductions of classified Submarine Tracking System schematics from Stromberg, and later got acquired by the Government; whether British or Soviets).

    TSWLM is the OOO because the microfilm was a private property, meanwhile the other two are owned by the Government and stolen.
    Or the other two are Government property got stolen by a private property, meanwhile the Microfilm in TSWLM was opposite as it came from a private property later got acquired by the Government?

    You know I love this thread because it always amazes me how many similarities there are in the films!

    You both have great guesses but they are not correct.

    Both TSWLM and FRWL have personal matters for killing Bond (FRWL as a revenge for Dr. No's death, and TSWLM in Anya for losing her lover).

    TND is OOO because Carver created a fake obituary for Bond for the sake of his business?

    Taking a flyer here:

    DAF stuffed animal is seen and held by the leading lady
    TLD stuffed animal is seen and held by the leading lady
    NTTD stuffed animal is seen and held by a child

    NTTD is OOO as the animal is held by the child
    NTTD would have been the ooo because the stuffed animal already belongs to a kid, while they are won at a shooting game in the other two occasions.

    Nice one @goldenswissroyale

    Sadly not the answer that I am looking for @SIS_HQ

    All films are involved with Bond being partnered with a Bond Girl with a Military Rank:

    FRWL - Corporal Romanova
    TSWLM - Major Amasova
    TND - Colonel Wai Lin

    TSWLM is the OOO because it's only Anya who was shown in a Battle Dress (Uniform), while the other two aren't.

    One I wish I had thought of @SIS_HQ

    Okay a clue for you and others!

    The OOO occurs towards the start of the film

    Lovemaking interrupted by a call to duty? Only in Spy it's Bond's watch going off rather than a phone?
    Or alternatively it's XXX being interrupted rather than 007.

    You are very close @mtm what else might be different about the three liaisons?

    Erm, they've got clothes on in FRWL? Spy's is in the PTS? Spy is the only one Moneypenny doesn't call him?

    Hmmm, not quite!

    But I think you are close enough to and will give it to you:
    • FRWL Bond is seen with a girl at the start of the movie
    • Spy Bond is seen with a girl at the start of the movie who turns out to be an enemy
    • TND Bond is seen with a girl at the start of the movie

    SPY OOO has the female was an enemy! Over to you @mtm

    Bond isn't seen with a girl at the start of TND? Not in the PTS...(?)

    Good point @goldenswissroyale he's first seen with a girl in both FRWL and Spy, I suppose TND wasn't a good one to use. Was trying to throw people off the scent a bit by choosing a Brosnan one. LOL!

    Oh I think it worked! They're very similar situations.

    Okay, let's try this one:

    You Only Live Twice
    Tomorrow Never Dies
    Skyfall

    YOLT Bond female ally is killed onscreen
    TND Bond female ally is killed death occurs off screen

    Nice idea, but that's not in the area I'm thinking.

    All three films involved a Bond obituaries:

    YOLT - It was shown was in the officer's desk as a newspaper.
    SF - It was shown in M's laptop.
    TND - It was shown in the screen by Carver.

    TND is the OOO because the obituary was made by a villain (and Bond wasn't presumed dead?)

    That's the one! Nice work. I was thinking TND as the OOO as it's the only one which doesn't get published, but you're there.
    Over to you.

    YOLT Bond is tied up while on a chair
    SF Bond is tied up while on a chair

    Forgive the double post my previous one was related to the last round.

    AVTAK Bond blows up a helicopter
    OHMSS Bond rides a helicopter
    GE Bond blow up a helicopter

    OHMSS is OOO has Bond doesn't blow up a helicopter

    AVTAK Stacey fights the baddies
    OHMSS Tracy fights the baddies
    GE Natalia fights the baddies

    Not either.....

    Although, the scene that I'm looking for also involves Tracy.

    AVTAK Bond breaks into Stacy's house
    OHMSS Tracy breaks into Bond's hotel room
    GE Bond breaks into the boat with the admiral
