[QOS007]

006 and Xenia

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

The Three Blind Mice?

[MajorB]

I'll repeat the clue with emphasis:

Bond's two main opponents in this film could be called very slow and foxy.

[QOS007]

Jaws and Naomi?

[MajorB]

Nope, sorry.

Another hint: It's not about the personal characteristics of the characters.

[Marcato]

the tarantula and "the dragon" from Dr. No.

[MajorB]

No, sorry. Here's a further clue:

"Bond, reviewing the guesses so far, murmured to himself, 'What's in a name?' and sauntered out of the room."

[QOS007]

is it from NSNA? if so that shouldnt count but that's my guess

[MajorB]

Actually, I think the rules allow it to be any Bond film (including CR54, CR67, and NSNA), but I always stick to the Eon Bonds.

Your guess isn't correct but is headed in the right direction.

[QOS007]

Octopussy

[MajorB]

Not Octopussy either. Let's see...

James Bond, who enjoyed puns and was also fluent in Italian, might have said of the two main villains in this film, "I suppose I should call you 'Very Slow' and 'Fox,' shouldn't I?"

[QOS007]

Is this a trick question


I just have no clue

[MajorB]

It's not a trick, but it's tricky.

Think about names . . .

[jaguar007]

Thunderball

Fox in Italian is Volpe

[MajorB]

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

And "Largo" means very slow.

That was obviously way harder than I thought it was. You never know.

Congrats, jaguar! Your turn!

[jaguar007]

Thank you MajorB, that was a tough one. I give one a bit easier.

"My partners have accompanied 007 on his missions before, now it is my turn"

[QOS007]

Is it Jack Wade CIA from Goldeneye

[jaguar007]

keep guessing

[MajorB]

Tomorrow Never Dies? I'm thinking of the Walther P99 he acquired in that film. Its "companions" would be the other Walthers he had used: the PPK, the P5 (OP), and the sniper rifle (TLD).

[jaguar007]

good guess, not what I was thinking.

"My partners have accompanied 007 on his missions before, now it is my turn"

clue: This characters "previous partners" were not actually this person's partners in a James Bond film

[MajorB]

Patric Macnee? Diana Rigg and Joanna Lumley both played his partners, and both were in OHMSS before he was in AVTAK.

[jaguar007]

You forgot that Honor Blackman was also Macnee's partner in The Avengers before she took off to film Goldfinger (and make way for Diana Rigg).

YES!!!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

over to you MajorB!

[MajorB]

Wow, I sure did!! I'm sending out a search party to look for my brain right now....

Excellent clue, jaguar! I hope I can live up to your high standards. Let's see:

Bond visits three islands in this film, though one of them is very very tiny.

[trs007]

A few guesses come to mind, but lets start with the devious: Live and Let Die? NYC-Manhattan is an island, as is San Monique and of course, the little island on the croc farm.

[MajorB]

Deviousness wins! Exactly right, trs! A tip of the white top hat to you! ("trs. Only trs.")

Your turn...

[trs007]

Your turn...

I feel I should reply with a Goldeneye-modified response of my own, but alas, not to be. Next puzzle:

This was one cut scene that still made the finished print.

Tomorrow Never Dies is the first film to spring to mind, what with the "They'll print anything these days" moment.

Seems a bit too easy for it to be TND though...

Indeed and yes, incorrect.

Current puzzle: This was one cut scene that still made the finished print.

[MajorB]

On a chance that "finished print" is at least partly a red herring, could it be the scene in LALD where Kananga cuts Bond's arm (with a better-than-average blood-emitting-knife effect)?

An excellent guess, but not what I had in mind.
