Bond scenes that ended up in other Bond films

Ever wonder about how some scenes were scripted for one film and due to budget was cast aside only to appear in another movie. Can you name any? Here's my list:

The keel hauling scene over the coral reef in FYEO was originally scripted for LALD, the book where the scene appears.
The tiger hunt in OP was originally intended for TMWTGG
The knife hurling twins in OP were originally intended for MR
Sanchez beating Lupe with a stingray tail was Milton Krest beating his wife in the story The Hildebrand Rarity.

I wonder if we will ever see Blofeld's Garden of Death from the novel YOLT enacted in any films? This is a great set piece and would love to see it. I guess the piranha pool in the film was a nod in the general direction...

    The Acrostar in OP was originally scripted for MR.

    The ice yacht in DAD was originally scripted for TLD.

    Blofeld's Garden of Death is one-of-a-kind, but I ultimately wonder if it's filmable. It's so gruesome!

    TSWLM's underwater car was originally scripted for OHMSS.
    TSWLM's supertanker was originally intended for DAF.
    TSWLM's ski jump was originally intended as an escape for Blofeld in OHMSS.

    Laz suggested Bond parachuting off a mountain......they said they might use that idea later (or so the story goes)

    With Peter Hunt determined to stay as true to the novel as possible I highly doubt Bond driving an underwater car was ever intended for OHMSS. Where did you hear this?

    From this thread:

    It was in Maibaum's 1966 script when Connery was still Bond.

    Interesting but I didn't see anything that said Bond would drive a submarine car. Either way I believe you. Im just glad they didn't go with that. I suppose a serious OHMSS with Connery was simply not in the cards.

    M be a close friend of The Havelocks in the FYEO novel, Bernard Lee past a way a couple of months before there film. Now in Twine we see Robert King be a old close friend of the new M.

    The Helicopter knife scene's official be mean to be for Goldeneye, now it is yused for Twine.

    The first Bond girl (Sylvia Trench) official mean to be seen for atleast 3 Bond movies and Lois Maxwell whas first choose.

    Frank Sinatra whas first choose for the maintitle of Yolt, he sugest his Daughter.

    Well, the supertanker certainly would have made DAF have a much more exciting finale, but then again, it wouldn't have been put in TSWLM, so maybe DAF had to get the short straw there. As for the Lotus underwater, that would have made OHMSS so much more enjoyable, but as stated before, TSWLM wouldn't have gotten that advantage.
