    Like @thedove , I hope this thread stays alive.
    I take the liberty of starting a new round.
    Which Daniel Craig location is the odd one out? We see something three times...
    DC in Venice, DC in Port-au-Prince, DC at home in Scotland, DC in Altaussee

    I believe Scotland is out as it's the only one with the DB5 featured?

    Not that. Think the other way: Three scenes feature something specific which the fourth doesn't.

    Hint: Connery in Las Vegas would also fit to three of the other locations.

    No one? Another hint: One ofomain Craig's main bondgirls is part of the solution.

    SF? Since M is the main Bond Girl, but she's not a potential love interest?

    Bond is on the phone to M in all but Altaussee?

    Good guesses, but:
    M isn't part of the solution. What I think about is more violent.

    Only in the Altaussee scene is someone not stabbed in the back (both literally and metaphorically speaking)? :))

    Great idea. Never thought about that. But it involves killing, hence you are already close.

    Sunday is a good day to solve a little bond riddle.

    Hints: 1. We see something at three of the locations but not at the fourth.
    2. Connery in Las Vegas would also fit to three of the described locations.
    3. One of Bond's main bondgirls is part of the solution (and two men)
    4. M isn't a part of the connection.
    5. It has to do with violence.
    6. If you know the beginning of Forever and a day, then you should be able to solve this game.

    A very helpful hint: think about the death of Plenty...

    Okay my guess is this. DC in Altaussee is the odd one out as there isn't a death in the water. Or closer drowning.

    Venice...Vesper drowns
    Port-au-Prince...contact and hit man for Camille is drowned
    Scotland...Silva's thug goes through the ice and drowns during a fight with Bond.
    Altaussee...no death with water or drowning.

    You have it @thedove. Vesper, the geologist and the henchman fighting against Bond in the ice lake end all as a dead body in the water.
    Back to you.

    Okay lets go!

    Which one is odd one out!

    GF
    OP
    TLD

    TLD - only one where one of the main villains does not die on-screen (Koskov).

    Only one of these films is the debut of a Bond actor.

    The last action scene always involves a fight in a plane, an exploding plane and only Bond and the main bondgirl survive. The difference: in OP and TLD the plane crashes into a mountain while it explodes on the water surface in GF. Therefore, GF is the odd one out?

    In OP and TLD, there are co-bad guys sharing screen time and working together (Orlov/Khan; Koskov/Whittaker); GF is the sole villain, therefore GF is the odd one out.

    Some really great guesses and I am embarrassed to admit I didn't think of any of those.

    Keep guessing. I can tell you it has nothing to do with the villains, or the actor playing Bond.

    OP: 008 isn't mentioned?

    Nice one!
    New round: Which director is the odd one out?
    Terence Young, Guy Hamilton, Ken Adam, John Glen, Martin Campbell
  • thedovethedove hiding in the Greek underworld
    Posts: 5,482
    Ken Adam cause he never directed a Bond fillm?
  • goldenswissroyalegoldenswissroyale Switzerland
    Posts: 4,490
    Ooopps, sorry! I mixed something up last night...I didn't want to write Ken Adam but Lewis Gilbert...
    Forget my last post. I start again:
    Terence Young, Guy Hamilton, Lewis Gilbert, John Glen, Martin Campbell
  • thedovethedove hiding in the Greek underworld
    Posts: 5,482
    Lewis Gilbert as he's the only one to not direct a new Bond debut?
  • goldenswissroyalegoldenswissroyale Switzerland

    Very good guess, but I thought about something else.

    Terence Young only directed one Bond?
  • goldenswissroyalegoldenswissroyale Switzerland
    Posts: 4,490
    Exactly, only Sean was in front of his camera, no other bond actor. Over to you @Thunderfinger

    All right, thanks. All of these have something in common, but one is still the odd one out:

    DN, OHMSS, LALD, AVTAK, TLD, LTK, NTTD.

    Which and why?
