Not so much a cryptic as a knowledge based clue. Larcenous arsonist gives us a thief with an interest in fire. Prometheus was the name of the mortal who stole fire from the gods

It is the downfall with these types of clues. As soon as you start thinking down the wrong lines you cant get back
In Response to Re: The cryptic is back with a movie twist : Is this based upon the guess a film with 7 letters in it or is there any logic at all? Posted by Talon
very little logic in it lol superspy = bond film. sky fall = bond film with 7 letters.
Loose links are fowl is another word for poultry which sounds a little like fall
Well you are correct and here is the logic. Superspy is a bond clue. Stuart gives us little and poultry gives us chicken which gives us chicken little who predicted the sky falling down

Duck soup - instead of chicken soup
Have to go now - hope for my sanity they are all solved when I am back online this evening!
