    I figured that was the case as you are American.
  • Nicely done, @Birdleson!

    I should have known @Thunderfinger wouldn't have deigned to scan any of Brosnan's films for this game. ;)

    Looking at the bottom 3, one could think it is a Bond girl ranking :-)

    This animal doesn t count, does it? Not part of the actual film.
  • Congrats, @GBF! I really should not have censored myself on this one because that's what I kept returning to. But is the snake in L&LD's PTS not a real snake?
  • I believe you. I'd always taken Dambala's snake to be the real deal. The performer does a good job selling it.
  • Hard to tell for certain. The snake's head is pretty immobile, but then reptiles can be like that. Whereas the tail looks like it curls under its own volition in a couple places, but this could be subtle wristwork from the performer. Too hard to tell for certain I think. Not a big deal one way or the other though.

    Thanx @Birdleson

    was not 100% sure but as you said it is only about real animals it makes actual sense... But what animal is it in OHMSS? Is there any in the PTS?

    OK... I already have an idea for a new criteria. I will start it during the day.

    Ah, I see. I always thought that the monkeys in the PTS of TLD would have been earlier but the PTS is pretty long ....

    I believe the very first shot we see of Bond as he drives off during the PTS contains a couple of horses on an accompanying street.

    Cursing (any characters)?

    Give us another hint, @GBF.
  • GBFGBF
    Posts: 3,197
    Nothing to do with characters...
  • GBFGBF
    Posts: 3,197
    Maybe if you think about the top 3 it may become obvious ... but maybe the criteria is also too far fetched...
  • BondAficionadoBondAficionado Former IMDBer

    There are thousands of possibilities looking at the top 3... I'll wait another fortnight or until we get a solid hint. :)
  • GBFGBF

    I said that it is nothing about the characters... that is a solid hint :-)
  • GBFGBF

    Another hint: It has nothing to do with the plot....

    So is it "number of times [insert answer] happens"? Maybe the number of jump scares in the films?
  • GBFGBF
    Posts: 3,197
    No, that is not it and the criteria is not related to "the number of times" of some event...
  • GBFGBF
    Posts: 3,197
    It has actually nothing to do with anything you see on the screen ....

    Is anyone still participating in this game?

    Should I give another hint?

    Two of the films DN and OHMSS who do not have the criteria have one thing in common which is quite obvious. If you folow this direction you are on the right track.

    Chart position of the title song?
  • GBFGBF
    Posts: 3,197
    @Tokoloshe

    yes that is correct!!!

    The criteria was the peak chart position in the UK Single charts. If two songs had the same peak position in the UK single charts, I took the peak position of the US charts.

    01. SP #01
    02. AVTAK #02 (US #1)
    03. SF #02 (US #8)
    04. DAD #03
    05. TLD #05
    06. LTK #06
    07. TSWLM #07 (US #2)
    08. CR #07 (US #79)
    09. FYEO #08
    10. LALD #09 (US #2)
    11. QOS #09 (US #81)
    12. GE #10
    13. YOLT #11 (US #44)
    14. TWINE #11 (US -)
    15. TND #12
    16. FRWL #20
    17. GF #21
    18. TB #35
    19. DAF #38
    20. OP #75

    So @Tokoloshe, I hand it over to you!!!

    DN, OHMSS, TMWTGG and MR had no song that made it into the UK charts.

    @Tokoloshe

    have you already thought of a new game?

    Ah sorry I've totally failed on this one.

    Happy to open the floor to anyone who wants to give it a go.

    I have one. Nothing obvious, but it should be possible to solve.
