    Thanks. The forklift didn't cross my mind. But interesting parallels.

    New, quick round without vehicles:
    FRWL, MR, GE, CR

    FRWL is odd one out as it doesn't have an American ally.

    No allies are part of the solution.

    FRWL is odd one out as Bond's ally dies within the film. Whereas the others his main ally survive the adventure. CR Mathis, MR Manuella, GE Wade In FRWL Kerim Bey is killed.

    Again a great idea but what I'm looking for has nothing to do with allies.

    GE is the odd one out because it doesn't feature Venice?

    Sorry that I didn't answer earlier. Was a long working day.
    This is 100% right: Venice is missing in GE.
    Once again well done. I give the lead back to you @BondAficionado

    No worries.

    LALD is the odd one out, since the other films all deal with the theme of revenge.

    In every film except QOS, Bond's PPK is handled by another character.

    TB (Vargas)
    LALD (Tee Hee)
    TSWLM (Anya)
    FYEO (Columbo)
    LTK (Sanchez)

    Great ideas but not what I'm thinking of.

    No shark scene in QOS?

    All right, thanks.

    Comparing the Craig films to the original Connery run

    DN/CR
    FRWL/QOS
    GF/SF
    TB/SP
    YOLT/NTTD

    What pairing is the odd one out and why?

    An ally of Bond's doesn't die in GF or SF so that pairing is out?

    Good thinking, but not what I am thinking of. And M is an ally, isn t she? The Mastersons, too. If you stretch it.

    Plus, we don t don t know for sure if that is the case in NTTD yet.

    Is it that the fourth film in the Craig era was originally a standalone and nothing to do with QUANTUM/SP, like GOLDFINGER, The fourth film in the Connery era was also standalone and had nothing to with Spectre??

    I assume you mean the third (SF), but no just the same.

    There is alway snow in one film of the pairing except for GF/SF (only a frozen lake)

    GF and SF are odd one out as both films feature the same Aston Martin DB5

    I must disappoint the both of you. Negative.

    TB and SP are the only 2 films to feature a SPECTRE briefing

    That is not the answer I am looking for.

    FRWL and QOS are odd ones out as both reference the previous Bond adventure.
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    FRWL/QOS are the only films in which Bond stabs someone in their limb?

    Only YOLT/NTTD have scenes filmed in Norway. Scandinavia is never used as location in the others.

    Wow, good thinking by all three, but try again.

    (And SP kind of references SF)

    I think a clue may be in order @Thunderfinger
