    OHMSS is the OOO

    Both the plots of FRWL and TSWLM are concerning about Soviet Union, but not in OHMSS, the plot wasn't about anything to do with Russia or no Russians involved at all.

    No. As I understand it, the aim is to find 3 movies that all have something in common between them but with a slight difference in one of them.

    Okay, so all of these three films had trains, but only in OHMSS where there's no fight scene?

    FRWL had train fight scene with Red Grant
    TSWLM had train fight scene with Jaws
    In OHMSS, there's a train but no fight scene.....

    Good try but that’s not it.

    Bond appears with a fake name with his "wife" in FRWL and TSWLM but he turns up on the Piz under another name alone. Therefore, OHMSS is the ooo?

    Nope. What I’m looking for doesn’t involve Bond himself, although he does appear in one of the scenes. Also, one of the scenes occurs during the PTS (although that doesn’t make it OOO).

    All three films feature looking at someone through something:

    FRWL Bey looks through the sniper lens to kill the Bulgarian
    OHMSS Bond looks through the sniper lens to see Tracey on the beach
    TSWLM Sandor looks through the wicker window to see Bond in Fekesh's apartment

    OHMSS is OOO has the look doesn't result in a death.

    So, okay......

    FRWL - The whole scene of Rosa Klebb debriefing Tatiana, Kronsteen playing chess in a tournament, and the SPECTRE scene where Blofeld punished Kronsteen, those scenes where Bond wasn't involved.

    TSWLM - The love making scene between Anya and Sergei, until Gogol called Sergei for a mission in the PTS, the whole Aziz Fekkesh scene until he's killed by Jaws, again, Bond wasn't involved.

    OHMSS - The bullfighting scene, but Bond appeared later, and all of the scenes in OHMSS had Bond's involvement.

    I'm not sure about this, my answer was just based on the clue.

    Nothing yet. All scenes involve a specific interaction between two people.

    Gosh! This is hard.....😅

    One of the scenes happens in a place where a birthday invitation is extended.

    I will also add that this specific interaction, as far as I recall, only happens in these three films.

    So, another attempt.....

    So, it might be the Bond Girl and Bond Ally interaction?

    TSWLM - Anya made a contact with Aziz Fekkesh without Bond in the scene.

    FRWL - Tatiana Romanova contacted Kerim Bey about her request to be defected in England, Bond's not there.

    OHMSS - Draco and Tracy interacts at the Birthday, and there's Bond who appeared in one scene, therefore, this is the OOO?

    It’s not that either. Read carefully the birthday invitation clue to guide you to the right scene.

    Another clue: what I’m looking for is not plot related but in one of the movies it serves to tell the audience something about one of the featured characters.

    For some reason I think this is related to superstition or the number 13.

    FRWL Bond and Karim plot for the theft of the Lektor to be on the 14th to avoid the 13th

    OHMSS Bond throws the knife at the calendar and it lands on the 14th and claims to be superstitious.

    TSWLM drawing a blank on any mention of superstition. LOL!

    Never mind, carry on! LOL!

    Another clue that should be a clear giveaway as to the correct scenes:
    You are required at once.
    Basta!
    What the hell is going on?!

    It's easy now. FRWL because the chess game was completed.

    That’s exactly it 👍
    Each of these movies features a chess game but only in FRWL does the game reach its conclusion.
    Over to you @QBranch

    Cheers my friend, was pretty stumped without the clue!

    Here we go, folks. General locations provided.

    OHMSS Piz Gloria
    TSWLM Luxor
    NTTD Cuba

    I am having trouble with the Luxor location in Spy? Is this Egypt? Or another setting in the film.

    I'm having a hard time with these three locations 🤷.....

    But let me started:

    In both Luxor and Cuba, Bond are with female agents (Anya and Nomi, Paloma).
    So in Piz Gloria, Bond was just alone, so it's the OOO?

    Yes, Luxor is in Egypt, we see it following the events in Cairo. Luxor is further south along the Nile, and yet it's upstream!

    That's not it, but two of those female agents are directly involved, as well as JB himself.

    I'm looking for a similar action that each of the three characters perform in their respective films.

    Paloma fights and kills people in Cuba. Tracy fights on the Piz and kills the henchman. Anya tries to fight Jaws but isn't successful and she never kills in TSWLM (maybe apart from pushing some buttons of Wet Nellie...)?

    Nothing yet. Tracy and Nomi are not in these three scenes.

    I know now!

    In Luxor in TSWLM, James and Anya are in the bar
    In Cuba in NTTD, James and Paloma are in the bar

    Both of these two films had James and a female agent in the bar, while OHMSS has none.

    Plus: Both Paloma and Anya are both wearing a Black dress, the same for Bond wearing a tuxedos in both films.

    So OHMSS is the OOO?

    Sorry, not it. You have the right characters and OOO though.

    Here's a clue:

    All three do something similar with a part of their body, except in one of the films, what one of them does is intentional.

    I'm trying to watch the TSWLM Luxor scenes and the NTTD Cuba scenes back to back, but I'm still finding it hard.
    I'm watching those two scenes repeatedly and back to back maybe 12 times 😅.

    Just going to give this a gentle bump with a rather weak guess:

    OHMASS Tracy takes a drink from Blofeld but doesn't drink it
    TSWLM Anya orders a drink and drinks it!
    NTTD Paloma take a drink from Bond and drinks it

    OOO is OHMSS has she didn't take a drink of her drink?
