    Nice! I'm happy to pass it along to @R1s1ngs0n as it was his guess that started the clue-stream leading to my guess (and also I'm worried I'm not smart enough to make a compelling round :P).
    If he wants to have a go in the next few hours, please go ahead @R1s1ngs0n, otherwise I'll give it a try.

    Good job. Just to clarify: There aren t many "Greek" or "Roman" Gods ,most are the same Gods, but were given different sounding names.

    Too late 😅
    As I haven’t seen MR in a very long time I didn’t remember Apollo but I was pretty sure it had something to do with Roman/Greek gods.
    Well done @NickTwentyTwo

    Actually I think I have one, so I'll throw it out there and see how it goes:

    Live and Let Die
    GoldenEye
    Spectre

    All movies feature a confrontation on a train.
    GE is OOO as villain is not thrown out of the train.

    Not what I'm thinking of. My scenes put one of the five senses at the forefront.

    Bond sees an 'assailant' in an object functioning as a mirror.

    LALD - snake in mirror
    GE - assailant visible in metal object (Monte Carlo/ship)
    SP - Hinx visible in metal object (on train)

    LALD OOO it's a real mirror or because it's an animal approaching

    That’s clever @marc. I was thinking along the lines of headphones - the British ambassador is killed by sounds coming out of his earphones in the LALD PTS but I was stumped about aural weapons or headphones in the other two

    Damn, that is a good one, but not what I'm thinking of. :P

    Cross vision off the list.

    I'm only accepting one film as OOO, but for one of a variety of reasons.

    Thanks :--) It's a great clue
    by @NickTwentyTwo, but I haven't watched GE/SP for years. But perhaps:

    LALD - Bond gropes for the pliers (TeeHee)
    GE - Boris gropes for the ball-point pen trigger
    SP - Madeleine (and Bond) gropes for the wristwatch

    GE OOO because Boris doesn't know this is an important tool/gadget, or because the gadget works against him.

    Another clever one, but not what I'm thinking of!

    We can cross touch off the list.

    Two of the scenes I'm thinking of occur in PTS'.

    SP Bond listens in to the conversation in the apartment
    LALD The UN person has headphones to hear the translator
    GE Bond listens to Moneypenny telling him to stay Onnatopp of things

    LALD is OOO has Bond isn't the character listening?

    It's interesting people are having trouble with this one... I think maybe there's some overthinking going on, as the guesses I've seen are probably cleverer than the solution I created itself. ;)

    LALD - shrill sound in headphones (PTS)
    GE - shrill sound by welding torch (PTS)
    SP - shrill sound by Blofeld's torture instrument
    GE OOO because it's not for killing or torture (directly) or because it's an ordinary action in its own right.

    Nope!
    The LALD PTS is involved, but many things happen in it...

    LALD - drum rhythm in a festival
    GE - drum rhythm in the PTS dam scene
    SP - drum rhythm in a festival
    GE OOO, not a festival
    But that would be 3 PTS, so maybe you mean festival music in general and GE OOO because it's a military parade in Petersburg.

    Very close @marc and you have the correct film for OOO but I'm thinking of a different scene for it... Care to guess again?
  • marcmarc Universal Exports
    Posts: 2,610
    Hm, there's also the Tiger helicopter celebration with music.
  • NickTwentyTwoNickTwentyTwo Vancouver, BC, Canada
    Posts: 7,550
    I'll give it to you, because you're close enough!
    LALD: Live music performance (parade in the PTS, also later in the film)
    SP: Live music performance (festival in the PTS)
    GE: Live music performance (Irina in Valentin's club)
    GE is OOO because it's the only one with distinct singing, it's the only one that's meant to be bad, it's the only one outside of the PTS.
    Over to you @marc!

    Ah, strangling the cat! So I hadn't been far off at all with my 'shrill sounds'. Great clue with the five senses!

    Next round:

    TLD
    LTK
    SF

    Happy guessing

    TLD - sniper Kara
    LTK - sniper Bond
    SF OOO sniper Patrice actually kills his target.

    Good one, but no

    TLD Bond is seen smoking
    LTK Bond is seen smoking
    SF Severine is seen smoking

    SF is OOO has the character smoking is not Bond
  • marcmarc Universal Exports
    Posts: 2,610
    No, but you're right in that Bond is the main character involved in two of my scenes.

    TLD Bond and Kara use a case to escape
    LTK Bond uses a case to eliminate Kilfer
    SF Bond uses a case to fight the thugs at the casino (edited to change to SF)

    TLD is OOO as the case isn't used as a weapon...reaching a bit with this one! :)

    That's SF!

    TLD: Bond defies M's orders by not killing Pushkin.
    LTK: Bond defies M's orders by... appearing in the film Licence to Kill. ;)
    SP: Bond defies M's orders by not staying grounded/blowing up Mexico City.

    TLD: OOO because he makes it looks like he follows through with his orders.

    Bond defies M's orders all the time, but it seems especially egregious in LTK and SP.

    Sorry that was a typo. I meant SF for the last one. I have fixed it.

    Oh, my mistake, I thought SP was the film in the game lol! Embarassing.

    In that case my guess is somewhat void.
