- In 1964, Ian Fleming's upper-crust spy protagonist, James Bond, was officially a film star. Having successfully made the jump from page to screen with a little help from actor Sean Connery, Bond had already been featured in two well-received action films, but the best was just around the corner.

Goldfinger certainly established quite a few essential 007 motifs, themes, and staples, but it was also a major departure from the franchise's previous two films. In that way, it was somewhat of a risky film to produce, but hard work and perseverance on the production crew's part ensured that it earned its place in film history.
Goldfinger is the spy film to which all other spy films look up to. You might even say that it became the 'gold standard'. Watch this video to learn 12 astonishing facts about the making of Goldfinger.

I LIKE GOLDFINGER EVEN BETTER AND A VIEW TO A KILL. WITH 2 SONGS IN JAMES BOND MOVIES I WATCHED JAMES BOND MAR-A-THON WHEN I WAS A KID MY DAD LOVES JAMES BOND MOVIES ALL OF THE JAMES BOND MOVIES LIKE I SAID THE CLASSIC NEVER DIES.
Terence Young, not Terence Fisher dievted the first two films.
Terence Fisher was director for Hammer movies . This site is pointless. If you want details on any movie than watch making of . They are all on CZcams. The jerk who puts this rubbish together doesn’t even do good rubbish. It’s embarrassing and full of crap
The most lasting part of the movie for me...as always, was Shirley Bassey singing GOLD-FINGER. That song still whirls around every time you hear it. PURE....GOLD!
Thanks for watching!
Goldfinger was probably the best Bond film ever made. The theme song is unforgettable.
Thanks for watching!
Goldfinger was the first Bond film I saw. After that, I was hooked.
The first James bond movie I saw was the spy who loved me, and I thought it was the best, then I saw golfinger in a movie club, and become a fan of James Bond
Although the film doesn't make any sense at all (crushing a Lincoln Continental - axles, engine and all - into a cube that would weigh much more than the vehicle transporting it back to Goldfinger; five light planes supposedly sufficient to spray a metropolitan area with nerve gas), the whole thing was done with such fine pacing and flair that it remains entertaining, except for feminists (Bond slaps Dink on her tush and tells her to "run along - man talk"!).
@@weveri6 Yes. Being in the auto repair business, the first thing that came to mind, especially the the Lincoln is picked up by the crane and we see the engine is missing, is all the other parts fitting into a 2X2X2 foot cube would require it be melted down and poured into a mold.
Harold Sakata as the menacing henchman "Oddjob" was hands down the most memorable villain in all of James Bond. films.
He was a Hawaiian pro wrestler , quite famous in Hawaii.
The frisbee hat was cool when I was 12 years old. Now, I find it stupid. As with most everything about the early Bond movies, beginning with Goldfinger. The only one that I can stand now is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Mostly because of Diana Rigg. The decision to ditch the camp and go back to a grittier, more realistic Bond did wonders for the franchise. In short, Connery's reservations about where Bond was headed were correct. The formula got seats in theaters filled, but it got stale.
@@Kermit_T_Frog Diana Rigg, no "s", she passed away on September 10, 2020 at age 82.
@@davidcobb2693 Yeah. I changed Riggs to Rigg and CZcams, as is all too common, failed to save the change. Guess I shouldn't rely on edits so much.
AH AH
Met Harold Sakata in St. Louis at Frank Moskus in Exile. Great sense of humor and a laugh you could hear a mile away. A very nice man.
I think he did a cough medicine commercial on TV.
@@rollydoucet8909 He did! He was kicking and chopping up the house in a coughing fit until his wife gave him the medicine. Funny for the time.
I met him on the set of "Impulse" in Palm Beach in the 70s. He smoked a Sherlock Holmes-style pipe and was, indeed, a kind and gracious gentleman.
PS; He was almost killed on the set that night doing his own stunt. Very frightening.
Thanks so much for this, as a bond fan for over 50 years, the visualisation that there were two guys under the table, with a light and a cutting saw to replicate a laser cutting bond between his legs a priceless moment.

Sean Connery was, and always will be, the iconic James Bond, 007. He was a natural fit for the role. 👍
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Many years ago, I visited an aircraft factory in Switzerland. When we drove in I remember thinking I had seen the place before somewhere - of course I had. It had been used for the external shots of Goldfinger's Swiss lair ! The mapping on the tracker in the Aston Martin is correct.
What a rare experience, thanks for sharing this! Do you think that Goldfinger is the best Bond film?
Goldfinger’s first name was Auric. The periodic chart symbol for gold is AU.
Auric is also brand for butter
Auric was walso thename of the “ gold coins” in the original TV series “ Battlestar Galactica”
Auric is an adjective..... of matters relating to or concerned with gold.
The symbol for gold is AU because the Latin word for gold is aurum.
yeah, auric means golden or gold-related. So his name is basically Golden Goldfinger. Not surprising he chose the career path he did, really...
I just hope Bond also stopped Nuclear McMissileface in time as well.
I still think Sean, was the best bond..🤗
It was a tie for me. Connery and Daniel Craig.
Yup, and Roger Moore was the close second.
@@rollydoucet8909 yep I also agree, liked the Bond Series..
@@johndaubner973 I agree
Dennis Braulick, Doesn't everybody?
For me, it's a toss up between Goldfinger and Thunderball as my favorite Bond film. My favorite Bond has always been Sean Connery.
Thanks for watching!
@The Alienation YES!
Yeah, I've never understood the hate Thunderball gets. It's not quite as good as Goldfinger or From Russia With Love, but for me it's definitely the third best (of Connery's films) after that. It's easily one of the most stylish of the Bond films, a time capsule of pure 60s glamour. And the underwater battle scene still holds up today, which is more than can be said for some of the later denouements (cough Moonraker cough cough). An amazing piece of action choreography. I'd definitely rate it among the top 5 or 6 Bond films of all time.
@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 yes all true
The golf scene with Bond and Goldfinger is priceless!

One of my top favorite Bond films, with my favorite Bond, Sean Connery.
Great choices! Thank you for sharing your favorite Bond film/actor. What other types of videos would you like to see?
The first time I watched Goldfinger was with my dad. To him it was a right of passage, and he was right. Been my favorite Bond movie ever since.
Thanks for watching!
You mean it was "a rite of passage"?
@@Vinterfrid Indeed and thank you. Grammar and spelling is the hallmark of a civilized world!
"Do you expect me to talk?"
" No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die! "
So. Michael collins. Actually says this?????
you only live twice was my favorite bond film, and that beautiful arrangement sung by nancy sinatra........you only live twice............... magical
Thanks for watching!
In 1967, I actually sat in the DB-5 Aston Martin, used in "Goldfinger"! It was on display for
2-3 days at the Abraham & Strauss dept. store in Manhasset, NY & my friend, an employee,
let me sit in it after the store closed & the security guard left! By today's standards, it was
pretty basic except for the phone in the door, tele-screen & ejector button! It was great
fun to be in a place where one of the most famous films of the year was made!
Thanks for watching!
Had I known I'd have seen it too. I was in grade school at the time, at Manhasset High School just a stone's throw from there.
for years it was on display in a giant glass case outside of a restaurant in Vancouver British Columbia. I made my parents stop there on a family trip after seeing Goldfinger on TV in the early 70's. I must have made quite a disturbance because they never stopped for ANYTHING until our destination LOL
Yes - I saw the Bond car at A&S In Manhasset too along with one of Hilter’s cars.
I had a similar experience at the 1965 New York World’s Fair. I was about to enter 5th Grade and my older sister was a flight attendant (stewardess) stationed at JFK who invited me to NYC. The DB5 was surrounded by red velvet ropes but my sister talked the security guy into letting me take photos of the interior, so in I went! I had no flash attachment so the photos didn’t turn out, but it was my greatest thrill at the time.
Goldfinger was the first Bond film I ever saw when I was nine, in 1964. It is my favorite. And I have always wondered how they made the laser scene.
Terence Young directed the first two Bond pictures, Dr. No and From Russia, With Love. He was not asked to direct Goldfinger. The director’s chair was given to Guy Hamilton.
Terence Fisher directed the technicolor Hammer Films remakes (most popular, Horror of Dracula) of the B&W Universal Horror films from the thirties and forties.
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, that's a sloppy error getting that wrong.
Yes andhe said terrace Fisher too , hate these videos sloppy
Yup, saw that gaff too!
@@FactsVerse -- An "Oops! Sorry" would have been nice.
I got hooked on James Bond movies the first time I saw Goldfinger. It is my favorite.
Glad to hear that Goldfinger is your favorite Bond movie! Do you think that Sean Connery is the best Bond actor too?
The late Sean Connery was the greatest 007 ever. Everyone else was ok.
I like Pierce Brosman. The early 007 movies were cheesy.
Chris Wasson The Roger Moore ones were the cheesiest Bond films for me unlike From Russia with Love
and Dr No & Goldfinger, I’d take Dalton over Brosnan anytime.
Pierce Brosnan was the next best 007 in the new millenium.
Sean Connery was the best Bond Roger Moore was the worst Bond.
I thought Casino Royale with Daniel Craig was a very good film. That opening scene with Craig chasing that guy on the construction site to the Embassy was probably the best I have seen out of Bond. Not too unrealistic. Sean Connery was great, but I think Craig topped him in Casino Royale with his performance.
Best bond and movie EVER!
Yes GOLDFINGER is my favorite Bond Film.
We feel the same way! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
The first four Connery's movies are the classic.
One of my favorite Bond outings was ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, but the favorite Bond is Sean Connery .-but “This never happened to the other fellow.”….was a worthy turn indeed
I literally made that exact statement to a coworker today! I really liked George Lazenby! But Sean Connery was my favorite!
@@mmills5951 Ditto….exactly feel the same. Barry did the opening score whose production was among the best of any movie since.
@@terrymurphy2032 Such a fe vent Scottish Nationalist that he rarely set foot in the country. When Robbie Coltrane was asked if Sean Connery should be the first president of an independent Scotland he replied "We'd have to tempt him out of Marbella first".
OHMSS was one of my favorites too!
No one could come even close to Sean Connery. He was perfect for the part of 007. It’s as if Fleming had written the part for Connery
Flemming originally thought Connery was completely wrong for the role
@@clausmadsen6754 Didn't he want David Niven for the part? I know he's supposed to have based the character on Christopher Lee's wartime activities.
@@chrisparkes2179 exactly … Flemming wanted a gentleman, not an un-educated navy roughneck
@@clausmadsen6754 I couldn't imagine Connery or Niven playing a character based on what Lee got up to though! This was the man who could tell a director exactly and in great detail how a character would die in any circumstance, no matter how violent.
He also used to get in trouble with Peter Cushing for giggling like kids in cinemas.
@@chrisparkes2179 On Christopher Lee's, and HIS OWN, activities in WW2.
Best Bond movie, best Bond actor, and definitely best theme song too.Hard to argue
I won't argue,
We feel the same way! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Goldfinger is by far my favorite Bond movie, partly for all of the things surrounding Bond, but partly for the character of Mr. Goldfinger himself.
Nice pick! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're very happy to know that Goldfinger is your favorite Bond film 🎩
All these years later, and Goldfinger still stands as the best Bond film. It’s got everything that makes Bond great and more.
Thank you for a very informative mini documentary on Goldfinger. However, the director of the first two movies was Terrance Young, not Fisher. My personal favorite Bond film was From Russia With Love. It had a great plot with authentic locales and two of the most memorable villains in Bond history: Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw. The fight aboard the Orient Express between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw was edge of your seat. Thanks Again.
That fight was so real with Shaw, I often wondered if anyone really got hurt during the filming. One of the best fight scenes ever filmed.
Thanks for watching and for the Terrence Young information! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
@@brittlyle3523 This is a late reply to your comment, but according to a documentary the scene was well rehearsed beforehand. Only once did they use stunt doubles during the fight; Connery and Shaw did most of their own fighting.
Thanks for letting know all the facts I didn't know. Keep up your amazing work.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
For me Sean was the best Bond ever , and Goldfinger was the best Bond movie ever . Second place for me is You only live twice , also with Sean being an excellent Bond .
Agree about Goldfinger, but I always felt Connery looked tired and fed up with the role by YOLT. There are some great set pieces and Donald Pleasance is by far the best Blofeld of all time, but Connery's performance really lets it down for me- he just isn't really trying as hard any more by that point (kind of reminds me of Daniel Craig in Spectre- Bored, James Bored as Honest Trailers put it). Miles better than Diamonds Are Forever or Never Say Never Again, though, of course- by that point he really didn't give a shit, and the movies are awful generally as well.
For my money the best Connery Bond film (so, the best Bond film) is a tie between Goldfinger and From Russia With Love, though (unlike many people) I also rate Thunderball highly.
Connery is widely criticized for YOLT. He's bored and flabby. Not that you can blame him in the context of ridiculous media hounding
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Glad you're a Sean and Goldfinger fan ❣
Connery's Bond (the ONLY Bond) never looked better than this, his hair, style, charm, everything. The Bond movie that set the benchmark for ALL to follow
Surprised that your channel didn't bring up the subject of Jack Lord. They were going to bring him back as Felix Leiter but Lord wanted more money, a bigger role AND co-billing with Connery.
Thanks for watching!
I, and my friend Leo Burdylo walked together to the old Grand Theatre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada after our grade ten high school classes at Saint Mary's High School on January 20, 1966 to watch the new Bond movie: 'Goldfinger'.
( It was bitterly cold}... I think it must have been at least -10 degrees F ( and probably even lower than that! ) when we walked the long 10 blocks to that movie theatre.
This was a pretty special afternoon for us ,as we didn't go (or could afford to go ) anywhere after high school in those days -except to take the tedious Calgary Transit System electric buses back to our homes in the Kingsland and Haysboro districts. . So, this was something (a little) out of the ordinary for us, to be sure. I well remember being transfixed by this movie, in particular the opening scenes before the movie proper started. That was a long time ago. But the feelings it elicited remain with me today- and I am in my early seventies! People: Your life is over so fast, that you barely have time to reflect on what happened. Where did it go? Let your children in on that, if they are still talking to you. (ha, ha).
I was impressed at how they did the special effects. Nice video, thanks for posting for us .🎯

“Goldfinger” was my first Bond movie at age 12. I was absolutely mesmerized by it and became a huge Bond fan (well, of the Sean Connery Bond films, anyway).
“Goldfinger” and “Thunderball” are my 2 favorite Bond films. Claudine Auget (Domino in “Thunderball”) was and still is my all time favorite Bond Girl.
Sean Connery is far and away my favorite James Bond actor. He is perfectly cast in this role.
Best Bond ever..Mr.Sean Connery..RIP🌹🌹🌹
My very favorite Bond film is “Live and Let Die”. All the creepy Voodoo elements & Roger Moore’s charms were iconic. Lastly, I’m a huge Beatles fan so the theme song by Paul & Linda McCartney was just the icing on the cake 🎂 😁
One of the best Bond books! The name Goldfinger came from the English Brutalist architect Erno Goldfinger who had recently designed Trellik and Balfron Towers in London. Fleming had met him at a London party. The two towers are still iconic, now listed, buildings, and the flats (apartments) are greatly sought after places to live.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing this! Is Goldfinger your favorite Bond movie?
Interesting story, love the bond films, and gold finger is one of my favourite. Great video thanks 💖😁

As a kid I learning the saxophone I memorized the opening 15 second song "Into Miami", still love it today.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job! I used to own all the Bond movies up to Skyfall (2012) I haven't seen the last two yet.
Sings: "Don't get around much anymore."
Watch Skyfall. I think it and Goldfinger are the two best Bond films.
From Russia With Love for me. Still raw but developing quickly. Loved Donald Pleasance and Nancy Sinatra's title song in You Only Live Twice as well. More recently Goldeneye, Casino Royale & Skyfall.
This is my favorite Shawn Conery bond movie and the DB Martin I think is one of the neatest cars, which is still used in other bond movies, what a classic
The theme song from Goldfinger was fantastic
Thanks for watching!
Without a doubt, you are correct. Goldfinger was absolutely the best James Bond movie thus far. Odd Job was a great villain.
Thanks for watching!
I watched Goldfinger as a double feature along with From Russia With Love when the film came out in the USA. It would be hard to disagree that Goldfinger is the best of the Bond movies.
Thanks for watching!
love every bond movie
I saw that when it came out in San Francisco with my Brother & Father. There was a lot of build up to the movie so as kids we were really excited, and the movie came through on all counts.
"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die..."
Live and let die .One of the best and best opening song
best bond film, the next one. BTW you have an awesome voice.
Goldfinger! He's the man, the man with the midas touch...(cue instrumentals)
2:15 - That is in fact Terence Fisher who is best known for directing Hammer horror films. The actual director of the first two Bond films was Terence Young, however.
Thanks for watching!
No, "Dr. No" and "From Russia With Love" was directed by Terence Young not by Terence Fisher.
As a lifelong Bond afficianado that really bugged me.
You're right
Precisely, how can they submit such a mistake. It is a complete demonstration of their ignorance, regarding the James Bond movies, and also the fact that they did very little research for this video.
Not a great example of 'Facts' Verse.
At least they got the correct photo for the narration. That is Terence Fisher who was a really good director. He made most of the best Hammer films.
Corgi produced a toy of the Aston Martin that I received as a Christmas present. It had all the gadgets - rotating plates, rear bullet proof pop up screen, rockets, ejector seat and goon. Damn, wish I still had that!
Me too! I wish I had kept that little Corgi toy!
Goldfinger was and still is the best Bond film. Sean Conner WAS James Bond.
I agree 100 % ...Jack.

When I first saw Tania Mallet it was love at first sight. Wow, what a beautiful and wholesome woman all at once. Later discovered her cousin is Helen Mirren. What a family.
Thanks for watching!
she sure was a stunner
This is still my favourite Bond film. It has the best James Bond, best villain, best henchman and best Bond song in my opinion. I always loved the scene in Fort Knox when Bond is handcuffed to the bomb and Goldfinger simply says " Goodbye Mr Bond" and walks away. No long speech which goes on and on, but simple and effective. The famous Laser Beam scene is also still brilliant, and of course the Aston Martin DB5.
Glad to know that you love Goldfinger! What other types of videos would you like to see?
I loved all the Bond movies.
Which one is your favorite though? 😊
Good video and good voice-over but you really need them to work on the closed captions. I.E., somehow Goldfinger's first name Auric (referring to gold, of course) became Arik and Harold Sakata is referred to as a giant locust! LOL
Terence Young directed the first two movies, not Terence Fischer
My all time favorite Bond???? Has to be You Only Live Twice....I mean the view of the throw down in the heart of the volcano. On the big cinema screen..Wow!! Plus the theme song by Ms. Sinatra...smooth..... with all the rice paper umbrellas. Then, there is Moonraker with the same throw down in space...only Bond could be so overblown.
As an 8 yr old, Bond was the man to me. He had the cars, the girls and the adventure. What else was there? I even had the popular James Bond attache case. A hidden gun to fight your way in, a hidden camera that worked to snap those neighborhood older teenage girls and plenty of room to store the Batman comics.
I had the toy Aston Martin DB5. It had a button on the back of it where you could make the bad guy eject out of the car. I wish I had that toy today. $$$$
I had that briefcase as well. Pretty cool or at least we thought.
I had both the Car and the briefcase. Wow what they would be worth today?
Best Bond movie by far. My favorite part is the entire movie including the theme and Shirley Bassey singing it.
For me “From Russia with love” was my favourite James Bond adventure, but I love Gold, & have always invested in the metal. 😎
Thanks for watching!
Terence YOUNG, not Terence Fisher directed Dr. No and From Russia With Love!!!
Sean Connery ( RIP ) Will always be the best Bond !! Fav Bond movie you only live twice !
While visiting New York the original Goldfinger Aston Martin was on display in front of the Russian Tea Room. I took several pictures of it and talked to gentleman in charge of the exhibit.
Thunderball and Live and Let Die are my all time favourites!
My favourite Bond film is Goldfinger, followed very closely by From Russia with Love. Goldfinger wins only because it really set a fire under the franchise. I watch the Blu Ray every December, the month I saw it for the first time. Brings back memories of different times. Both films have outstanding theme songs.
Connery set the bar on absolute top 👌 !!!! Craig # 2 !! My favorite is To Russia with Love !
I think you mean From Russia with love
Facts Verse, Bond was portrayed in the novels as living an upper-middle-class lifestyle, not an upper-crust one. He used an expense account - and had to justify it. And i believe that he could afford his housekeeper only two days a week.
Goldfinger actor was also in chitty bang bang as the Baron and he did speak in that movie. Chitty was also written by Fleming
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Roger Moore in "The Spy Who Loved Me" That movie had all best characteristics of a James Bond film and the opening theme was mesmerizing, agent Triple X was gorgeous, and JAWS was an unrelenting menace! Don't get me wrong I love Sean Connery too, but I grew up watching Roger Moore as he first came on the scene in "Live and let Die" which also has a great opening theme
Went to see Roger Moore twice during his “An Audience With Roger Moore”, both times in Manchester, the second in October 2016 and he was brilliant! I’m sure he must been ill with cancer as he passed away in March 2017 😓
Nah. To me Moore was just smug. Not charming. Not mischievous.Just not Sean.
Loved rogers films and his potrayal of the character, he said that the character of Bond was "total bollocks", and that is how he played him, the guy is supposed to be a spy, able to blend in, and yet he can walk into any bar in the world, and the barman will greet him with "ah, Mr Bond".
@@redlightspellsdanger7177 Roger Moore actually died in May, i was on board a cruise ship and it was the talk of the dinner table.
Roger Moore was a great Bond, but Connery had set the bar impossibly high! Still, mega-kudos to Moore for being such a great Bond!!
Just a quick correction but the director of Dr. No and FRWL was Terrence Young, not Terrence Fisher
I grew up alongside Bond movies. We would queue for ages to get into our cinema to see them. They were breath taking and new. Russia with Love was my favourite it showed Bond as a violent thug which was faithful to the Flemming story, not reprised until Daniel Craig appeared.
Thanks for watching!
You're wrong about Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) not being able to speak English, his English was fine he just had a very heavy accent. If you search n Google you can even find a clip of him speaking dialogue before it was overdubbed.
Mr frobe had a role in another ian Fleming movie and spoke broken English but was very understandable. The movie was chitty chitty bang bang. The character Q was also in the movie.
He was the best 007. I liked Roger Moore but Sean was the best.
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Okay, Goldfinger is my favourite Bond followed by From Russia With Love and Thunderball. This is a good piece with a minor (major to some) faux pas: Terence Young (not Fisher) was the architect of the movie series and Connery's Bond movie character. Connery himself has credited Young with shaping him in that role. These early films, Goldfinger included, were something fresh in the movies of the early Sixties. Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
And From Russia with love had Matt Monroe singing theme tune
Sean Connery’s Bond was essentially Terence Young’s real life persona. Connery had a rough and tumble, lower class upbringing who, until becoming an actor, had an almost indecipherable Scottish accent. Young taught Connery how to dress, walk, and speak… and introduced the “fine living playboy” image into the character. Terence Young deserves much of the credit for creating the iconic screen character now synonymous with Bond.
I saw Honor Blackman in pantomime about 15 years ago…she played the Wicked Queen with HUGE panache!
At one point she was on stage with the Fairy Godmother and the audience was booing and hissing her with traditional delight.
She paused for a minute until they quietened down and then she said, with exquisite haughtiness and the sexiest smirk,
“ SHE may have a magic wand, but I’M the one that kissed James Bond…”
The audience fell about.
Great line, great delivery, great moment..😍
Thanks for watching!
This remains my favorite. This one also stands out because a few years later one of the 2 DB 5's for the movie was available for sale. It was on a promotional tour at a radio station where a family member worked. I was just a teen, tried to get my folks to purchase it for $10.5K, a hefty sum then. They thought I was nuts, in the end, the radio station manager purchased it and only a few years sold it for 4.8M. He wanted 10M, but of course, that was not meant to be!
Thanks for watching!
One of the originals was stolen and never recovered!
Goldfinger is my favorite Bond film. I even have the soundtrack on vinyl.
Thanks for watching!
This is my favorite Bond movie!
Glad to hear that! What other types of videos would you like to see?
I think Goldfinger is the best Bond movie by far. I commanded a Basic Training Company at Knox a few years after the movie but the aerial shots of the flyover were right over the Company area. I always get a kick of looking at the old PT fields and Company streets
Thanks for watching!
I know Sean got tired of the role but he was the best Bond. And a very accomplished actor in every way.
Goldfinger had one of the two best "villain explains his diabolical plan" scenes on film (the other being the one in Gunga Din). Yes, they're a tad unrealistic, but they're so dramatic! And for once, it was somewhat more realistic than the novel, where Goldfinger was somehow planning to truck thousands of tons of gold and load it onto a soviet cruiser.
We strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Goldfinger is my favourite. Regards from Australia 🇦🇺🤓
Nice James Bond film! Take care there in Australia!
The intro with Bond slipping out of the frogman's outfit in a white dinner jacket, and especially the buttonhole he has brought along with him is the best intro of all Bond movies. And no one but Sean Connery could have pulled it off with such panache.
Sean Connery may have been super cool as James Bond but have never before heard James Bond described as a 'gentlemanly' spy. Anything but.
Sean Connery is BOND! Other actors have been good during their time, but Connery Is the entire package.
Thanks for watching!
Used to be my favorite Bond film was "LIVE AND LET DIE" in 1973, when Moore became Bond, but I was only 12 1/2 years old; later on in life, I changed my mind: now my FAVORITE BOND MOVIE now is "GOLDFINGER".
I was in engineering school when I first saw "Goldfinger". I remember the great laugh that I and my fellow budding engineers had during the segment where a dead henchman was disposed of by having him inside a big Mercedes that was being crushed at a scrap yard. The car was reduced to a bale and then loaded into a tiny Ford pick-up truck. Everyone was expecting the truck to be forced down on its axles from the weight. But the truck reacted as if the crushed Mercedes weighed about 20 pounds.
Thanks for watching!
The car being crushed was a Lincoln
1) Goldfinger 2) You Only Live Twice 3) From Russia With Love 4) Live & Let Die. Sean was the best, makes me feel sad for the rest. No one did it quite as good as him.......He was simply the BEST!!! RIP 007
Thanks for watching!
If you haven’t done one of these types of shows on "From Russia With Love", it would be great if you did so.
That one is my favorite with "Goldfinger" being second.
OMG...loved gold finger...
I really like doctor no, And the man with the golden gun . I saw those movies in the theater with my dad !
From Russia with Love was the best Bond film IMO. great plot that was believable and the opening where Bond appears to be killed was great.
Thanks for watching!
That was "You Only Live Twice" where Bond was killed by machine guns then given a burial at sea.
@@brittlyle3523 I was referring to the fake Bond killed by the Russian assassin for practice in the opening scenes of From Russia with Love
@@jimmorris8519 Gotcha'
Although Goldfinger and Thunderball were huge favorites in my younger years,You Only Live Twice is my all time favorite.
Thanks for watching!
That's because of all those gorgeous Japanese women that were in that film
