    Nice connection. But this round isn't about the Bondgirls.

    FYEO An assassination is done on the Havelocks
    TWINE A assassination is done on the Banker
    QOS An attempted assassination is attempted on Camille which Bond foils by killing Slate

    Therefore QOS is OOO as the assassination is foiled.

    It has nothing to do with assassinations or deaths in any way.

    FYEO Bond mucks up his first attempt at the mission
    TWINE Bond intentionally mucks up his mission to flush out Electra's plan
    QOS Bond mucks up his first attempt at the mission

    Therefore TWINE is OOO has Bond intentionally messes up in order to figure out what the villain is up to.

    Interesting thought. I look for something else. Bond is involved. Three scenes are connected and they are all part of the first half of the movies.

    One PTS is part of the solution!

    Bond's phone call with Moneypenny in FRWL could help to find the solution...

    hmmm going to give this one more thought.

    It's not easy but here is a more specific hint: one of the three specific moments happens in a plane.

    Big hint for the weekend: Check out the helicopter!

    Nothing? I hope someone can solve it know: helicopter, plane, harbour.

    I think with the current situation my brain is completely mushed, it’s taking all my effort to work out what day it is. However I’ll have a go with Bond falls from a great height without a parachute in TWINE and QOS but FYEO is OOO as it’s Bond that causes someone else (Blofeld) to fall.

    Good try and thanks for guessing. It is something where the action doesn't matter but Bond is always involved.

    There is something you can read in all three scenes.

    I’m sure I should be able to get it by now but I’m still not there! i reckon it has to be something to do with Universal Exports but I can’t come up with anything for TWINE. Maybe someone can hit the nail on the head?

    You're almost there.

    Okay let me wade back in.

    FYEO Bond is seen flying the helicopter
    TWINE Bond is a passenger on a plane
    QOS Bond is seen flying a plane

    Therefore TWINE is out as Bond is the passenger and not flying the vessel?

    Sorry, not that. Max solved already 50% of it. It is always written the same. But where?

    Wild shot in the dark...

    FYEO Universal Exports is seen on the outside of the helicopter Bond boards
    TWINE While in the plane we see Universal Exports while Bond makes the fake id
    QOS Universal Exports is seen on the business card handed to Elvis at the harbour.

    QOS is out as that's the only time we see a Universal Export logo?

    Right scenes. Only the ooo is a different one. Try again and you should be the winner.

    Okay how about FYEO the Universal Exports is seen on a vehicle and not on paper like the other 2?

    That's it. Twice on a card, once not. This was a bit more difficult than usual, sorry. Great work @thedove and important support from Max.

    Truly a tag team effort!

    DN
    OHMSS
    DAF

    Dr. No and Penny die in the water/are drowned. The guy in the PTS of OHMSS is almost drown but recovers quick. Therefore, I try OHMSS as ooo.

    Wow nice guess. Not what I was going for...but it does concern deaths.
  • goldenswissroyalegoldenswissroyale Switzerland

    Blofeld seems to be killed during the bob action and again at the end of the DAF PTS. In both occasions he strikes back. Nothing comparable happens in DN = ooo. It's a weaker guess as the one before...Some inspiration from other members?

    Nope I can tell you that it doesn't involve Blofeld. Good guess though.

    It does involve some deaths on screen. Three the same but one is different then the other 2

    I think I have it.
    Quarrel and a guard on Piz Gloria are killed by a flamethrower. In DAF Mr. Kidd dies because he is Burning and there is also an asian guy whose body is set on fire due to the diamond laser. DAF is the ooo because there isn't a flamethrower.

    You do indeed have it @goldenswissroyale way to go! Death by fire a rare way to go but these three films had it in common! Over to you!

    DN Dragon flames poor Quarrel
    OHMSS Che Che flames random SPECTRE thug
    DAF Bond flames Kidd with the dinner!

    DAF is OOO has a flame thrower was not used for the death!

    Very good round @thedove . I always thought that the flamethrower in OHMSS was very sadistic and strange to use there.
    Where is the flamethrower in DAF?
    I'll starz a new one in a few hours.
