    Manuela is shaking a vodka martini. I think it has something to do with this drink or the martini glass, specifically.
    Sorry, nothing to do with alcohol. However, in the OOO scene, there is tobacco.

    YOLT
    MR
    FYEO

    All clues thus far:

    In each of the three scenes, Bond is with a woman.
    In each of the three scenes, we see an item with the same function.
    In the OOO, we don't see the item functioning (not that it is needed).
    In two of those films, the woman uses the item with her back to Bond, yet she can see Bond.
    In the OOO, the woman has her back to the item, which is out of sight until Bond reveals it.
    Nothing to do with alcohol. However, in the OOO scene, there is tobacco.
    Bonus clue: Paloma and Madeleine hold the same type of item in Bond's presence.

    Time to move this round along.

    Lipstick. They all possess lipstick. Look at the clues. What is the OOO?

    I would love to resurrect this thread.

    Ah did we never get the answer? What was it? I can't think of the scenes in question at all.

    Helga uses a lipstick in the plane. The lipstick is a gadget that can create smoke (or what was it?).
    I don't remember scenes with lipstick in the other two. Someone else?

    I think you may be on to something. Although one of the clues is that Bond reveals the item.

    YOLT we see Helga use the lipstick as a smoke bomb
    MR Goodhead is seen at the make up mirror can't remember if she's using lipstick or not
    FYEO can't recall any scene where lipstick plays a role.

    Was recently thinking about this round and whether I should bump it or give it an amusing death.

    The films: YOLT; MR; FYEO
    The characters: Helga; Holly; Moneypenny
    The clue: Using lipstick in Bond's presence

    Holly and Moneypenny use it as lipstick while Helga use it to create some smoke? Therefore, YOLT is the OOO?

    Not what I'm after. Look at these previous clues:

    YOLT; MR; FYEO.
    In each of the three scenes, Bond is with a woman.
    In each of the three scenes, we see an item with the same function.
    In the OOO, we don't see the item functioning (not that it is needed).
    In two of those films, the woman uses the item with her back to Bond, yet she can see Bond.
    In the OOO, the woman has her back to the item, which is out of sight until Bond reveals it.
    Nothing to do with alcohol. However, in the OOO scene, there is tobacco.
    In the OOO, the scene takes place in a hotel room.
    Helga; Holly; Moneypenny.
    Using lipstick in Bond's presence.

    Is Holly the one who doesn't apply any lipstick?

    Ah great, thank you. Nice to have that one finally solved!

    I'll have a think about another.

    Well done @mtm! The OOO is of course MR and Holly up in her Venice hotel suite not using lipstick in Bond's presence, although we see one or two of them laying around.

    Giving this thread a bit of a bump as I quite enjoy the challenge of this game

    I would say this was enough time of waiting. @thedove would you like to start a new round?

    DN
    TMWTGG

    In DN and LTK we see Bond's lighter and ciggie case next to him on the casino table, but not in TMWTGG. In TMWTGG we see Bond at the casino, but without any tobacciana; Scaramanga's lighter and ciggie case is next to him, but not at a casino; while Lazar's cigarette pack is seen next to him at a casino. TMWTGG OOO.

    Not a bad guess but not correct! Doesn't have anything to do with smoking or casinos!

    First time player in this thread, let me try.....

    So, both DN and LTK had the minor or secondary Bond Girls live, whereas in TMWTGG the second Bond Girl (Andrea Anders) was killed?

    DN: Miss Taro was alive
    LTK: Lupe Lamora was alive
    TMWTGG: Andrea Anders ended up dead

    I can't find a good connection between the three so far. Interesting movie combination!

    Welcome to the thread @MI6HQ great guess, alas it's not about the women.

    The three movies are

    DN, TMWTGG, LTK

    Not anything to do with the female villainesses, nor smoking or casinos.

    I am glad you are challenged @goldenswissroyale I will see if there are a few more guesses and then come up with a clue.

    Bond wears a Rolex in all three films, but only in GG does he check the time.
