    Not Dalton era.
    I'm sorry that noone guessed recently. I like the clues but it didn't click so far.
    All good mate. Not much more I can add clue-wise now except which era/film they are from.

    I think it’s the fidgety soldier sitting across from Bond in the jeep in OP PTS

    It seems so obvious now. Great one!

    That's a great guess and the correct one, but what does this guy have to do with ferrets?

    EON character

    Nick Hobbs

    Clues explained:

    1. People smile at me.
    Bond smiles at me in the jeep, then Bianca smiles at me in the Range Rover.

    2. You can't really tell as we're all sitting, but I'm much shorter than the others.
    Earlier, when Bond is discovered by Colonel Toro, I walk up beside Toro, Bond and the other soldier who would later accompany me in the jeep. I am much shorter than them. You can see me in this photo, to the right:

    3. The stars don't fall - they rise.
    There are star patches on my uniform and helmet. When Bond pulls my parachute, the stars rise.

    4. Let's just skirt the issue, shall we?
    Bianca pulls her skirt up, and I turn back to Bond momentarily to check if it's a trap.

    5. We don't have a shoot-out, but it sure sounds like it.
    We don't have a 'shoot-out' - we have a 'chute out.

    6. Steal male ferrets.
    Another word for 'steal' is 'nick'; male ferrets are called 'hobs'. Nick Hobbs the actor.

    7. Is he pulling my leg? No, something else.
    Bond pulls my parachute cord.

    8. I'm not very good at my job.
    I should be guarding Bond, but...

    9. I clearly like women.
    And Bianca is all woman. (dangerously young, mind you!)

    10. I'm looking quite green for someone who isn't ill.
    I'm in military uniform.

    11. You'll never find me with a map.
    I'm located in a fictional Latin American country.

    12. The chicken and the egg came later.
    After Bond shoots the tyres of the jeep, we see it nearly hit a chicken. Later, the Faberge egg plot.

    Congrats @R1s1ngs0n, the round is yours!

    Thanks @QBranch that was quite an entertaining round.
    I'm taking a little break now, so anyone up for starting a new round is most welcome.

    No worries @R1s1ngs0n, glad you had fun.

    Correct @goldenswissroyale

    Clues
    • Some people really burn you up somedays...one guard is seen on fire
    • Guarded right to the end...our man stays right next to the missles
    • Glowing bright like a diamond...he glows red before his demise plus a play on words with the movie title
    • I stay while others flee...a slight misdirect as reviewing the clip I see the guy does indeed move away from the missles

    It's not the invincible guy. All guesses are smart so far and I'm sure that it is solved very soon.

    Oh, cigar girl?
  • goldenswissroyalegoldenswissroyale Switzerland
    edited January 3 Posts: 4,501
    Yep, the last clue was maybe a bit too obvious. Anyway, well done @mtm

    Cigar girl is the woman I was looking for and always like to have another look.

    1. I'm sitting on a chair but not for long.
    After walking in the bank office and offering cigars, she takes a seat.
    2. A scene of me was cut out of the movie.
    There was a scene filmed with her and Renard in Balboa right after Bond's escape.
    My scenes are set in two different countries.
    Spain and England.
    4. Do I hit exactly what I want? Yes! Not at all! The answer depends on the scene...
    In Bilbao, she kills the guy with a throwing knife in his neck. During the boat chase she uses many weapons without success.
    5. A compound with three carbon atoms leads to my death.
    She shoots into the propane tanks of the balloon and kilks herself. She really is scared of helicopters...
    6. When Bond tried to kill me, I decided that O2 could be helpful.
    Millenium dome, now called O2 arena...

    Great! Thank you, I was racking my brains with the propane one, I could picture someone being killed with it but it wouldn't come to mind.

    I'm afraid I don't have one lined up so happy to pass the shoe.
