    Good guesses. It's not about the novels, Gilbert, pilots or helicopters. The first guess by @R1s1ngs0n was close.

    In all three films, someone gets attacked by animals, but in MR they survive.

    That's close as well

    Traps leading to encounters with deadly animals.
    MR is OOO as the trap mechanism is different.

    Exactly, that's it! 👍 Very quick solution.

    Thanks @marc
    I’m drawing a blank right now so if someone wants to take over, please be my guest 😊

    All right, next round:

    YOLT
    DAF
    TMWTGG

    All movies involve Bond posing as another character with the help of prosthetics.
    YOLT - Japanese Bond
    DAF - Bond impersonating Peter Franks.
    TMWTGG - Bond impersonating Scaramanga.

    YOLT OOO as Bond doesn't impersonate a specific person.

    All three films feature a Bond girl in a bikini, but only in DAF is she not seen on a boat in said bikini.

    DAF - Bond and Tiffany face off against Wint and Kidd aboard the yacht.
    TMWTGG - Bond and Goodnight face off against Nick Nack aboard Scaramanga's private junk.
    YOLT OOO as obviously it would be difficult to stage a climatic fight aboard a life raft.

    Not what I'm looking for, so far

    :--)
    Bond didn't appear to be a climate activist, anyhow

    Bond taking elevators with baddies ?

    TMWTGG - Scaramanga gives Bond a guided tour of his island and facilities.
    DAF - Bond asks Peter Franks "Who is your floor?"
    YOLT OOO as Bond is carried by The Rock's grandfather when entering the elevator in Osato's office headquarters.

    Good try, but no

    If I remember correctly, Bond asks 'Who is the elevator?' (der Aufzug)
    Your guesses only remotely had to do with what I'm looking for; the third one a bit more.

    Nope, it is indeed “who is your floor” (in the original version, anyway).

    Bond is knocked out with a hit to the back of his head
    YOLT - hit with baton
    DAF OOO - hit with urn (not a weapon)
    TMWTGG - hit with trident

    No. But yes, my scenes aren't exactly peaceful.

    (I'll have to check the floor/elevator issue)

    clues:
    - 'baddies' was a good catchword
    - Bond isn't really involved, except in the OOO, in a way
    - the OOO is something unsuccessful,
    unlike the other two scenes

    New clue: it has to do with crimes committed or planned.
    I'll perhaps add more clues by and by in this post.

    New clues:
    - it has to do with a kind of profession
    - it's about something the baddies do

    Villains store liquids:

    YOLT: Osato stores liquid oxygen tanks on the docks
    DAF: Metz fills the fuel tank of his van with gasoline
    TMWTGG: Scaramanga stores liquid helium

    TMWTGG is the OOO as his plant becomes unstable and explodes.
  • marcmarc Universal Exports

    Good thinking, but no. It doesn't have to do with Metz.
    The link to DAF isn't very obvious, I think, so perhaps it's easier to think about YOLT and TMWTGG first.

    New clue: mentioning Osato and Scaramanga was the right direction

    All movies feature killed/targeted CEOs
    YOLT - Blofeld kills Osato.
    DAF OOO Saxby fails to kill Willard Whyte.
    TMWTGG - Scaramanga kills Hai Fat.

    Good attempt but not quite it.
