This list is presented in the order that the references occur in TWINE
- There is a close-up of a bullet hole in a glass window
- The Bond Girl's father is curiously/unjustifiably on speaking terms with the head of MI6
- The first vehicle Bond drives is black and lacks a bulletproof windscreen
- The Bond Girl is a suicidal billionaire heiress with a dark and troubled past
- Elektra asks Bond if he ever lost a loved one. This is the most blatant Tracy reference of the Brosnan era.
- Bond and the Bond Girl go skiing. They're attacked, and end up buried under an avalanche
- Bond skis to the edge of a cliff and sends his pursuer over it
- The Bond Girl loses badly at a card game
- "People who want to stay alive play it safe."/"There's no point in living if you can't feel alive."
- Brainwashing (apparently) plays a key role in the plot
- The main villain cut off their own earlobe(s)
- "The World is not Enough" is stated to be the Bond family motto
- The Bond Girl dies from a single gunshot wound while wearing an outfit that technically covers her whole body but still shows an amazing amount of skin between/underneath the fabric
- Bond is clearly aggrieved by her death, and cradles her corpse afterward
(There's also a glaring continuity error in the pre-title sequence, but I doubt that was a deliberate homage: in OHMSS, watch the water level during the fight. In TWINE, watch the position of the hot-air balloon when Bond launches his torpedoes.)
