    Spot on @R1s1ngs0n they all feature villains with a romantic partner but (in my case) MR was OOO as the partner isn't also a villain.

    As you say many ways of looking at it, so won't hold that against you. Well done.

    I tried to be more precise. I thought the hand holding was what you were looking for 😬

    Ah great! I didn't think of that. It's so funny how rare it is for the villain to be married or have a girlfriend. There's Carver, Le Chiffre (maybe)... any others?

    Quite a few actually...

    Largo and Domino
    Kananga had his own ‘projects’ for Solitaire
    Scaramanga and Andrea
    Zorin and Mayday
    Koskov and Kara
    Sanchez and Lupe

    I think that about covers all of them.

    Yeah I thinking Domino but their relationship is a bit vaguer isn't it? As with Solitaire: they're not quite a couple. The others though, yeah.
    I often think someone like Sanchez would probably have had lots of little kids about the place too.

    A lot of these relationships fall into the 'kept girlfriend' category as @Thunderfinger says - Domino, Andrea, Lupe, Severine(?) etc. all fall into this.

    You also have Dimitrius married to Solange and Marco Sciarra married to Lucia.

    Dominic and Camille is an interesting relationship, with her using him as much, if not more, than him using her.

    I always thought of Zorin and May Day as more 'friends with benefits'.

    Interesting when you think of it.

    Let's try they all feature danger to Bond entering from high up ... yOLT the assassin in the ceiling, LALD snake in bathroom and TMWTGG Nick Nack hiding in the junk. OOO the snake, being an animal?

    Very nice idea but unfortunately, not what I’m looking for.

    Motorized vehicles with several baddies in them end up sunk in water?

    YOLT - a drop in the ocean
    LALD - 'Routemaster' car
    TMWTGG - OOO it's a boat (boat chase)

    Nope, that’s not what I wanted to hear.

    people being locked up with a hatch:

    YOLT - Bond girl locks Bond up (PTS) OOO it's Bond who is locked up
    LALD - Tee Hee locks Solitaire up
    TMWTGG - Scaramanga locks Goodnight up in car trunk (or Bond locks up Goodnight in wardrobe) might be OOO, it's a trunk/wardrobe, respectively?

    Bond like a 'strange bird' in his environment?

    YOLT - Ninja training camp
    LALD - Harlem OOO
    TMWTGG - Kung Fu school

    @marc
    That’s an interesting angle but not what I’m looking for.
    All I can say is that the answer involves Bond and that the scenes themselves are not particularly memorable (one of them in PTS).

    A British national is murdered on foreign soil in each one (UK representative at the UN, Dikko, Gibson) and Bond fails to prevent it in each one. LALD is OOO as Bond wasn't there at the time.

    Again, nice try but unfortortunately not even close.
    Please refer to my first response to @marc as that should put you on the right track.

    Bond's only in one of those PTS, problem is I'd say it was fairly memorable! :)

    Bond is in bed the first time we see him in the first two and in bed the last time we see him in Golden Gun...?

    Scratch the PTS part, my mistake. One of the scenes is immediately after the title credits.
    I'm getting sloppy, it scares me.

    Bond is in bed with a Bondgirl and is interrupted. The ooo could be YOLT because the girl starts the “interruption“ herself.

    @goldenswissroyale

    Another fine attempt but no cigar.
    The answer is not visual or plot related. It has to do with Bond being a 'man of the world'

    Is it him speaking foreign languages? Italian in LALD, Japanese in YOLT, but I can't think him doing it in GG...

    That's exactly right. In TMWTGG Bond raises a toast in Italian when dining with Goodnight. So you can pretty much guess which one is OOO.

    Over to you

    Oh great! Thanks- good one :)

    Yikes, I'll have to think of something(!)

    I'd start a new round, if everyone is fine with that:

    DN
    FYEO
    QoS

    Happy guessing!

    clue: in all scenes something unexpected happens

    New clues:
    - it has got something to do with potential energy, in a way
    - it has got something to do with a location, in a way

    New clue: All scenes are quite well known

    I'll perhaps add new clues here and there during the day.

    Sorry, I completely forgot. This is a tricky one: how about cars falling off cliffs? Maybe DN as it's the only one that (randomly!) explodes?

    Very good, you are close. With regards to one of the films I was thinking about another scene.

    Hmm interesting! I'll have to have a think about that! Maybe it's the 2CV chase...
