“Nothing, Mr. Bond. I own the club.”
I’ve always loved Gert Frobe’s verbal and physical delivery of this line from Goldfinger – subtle but showy and intimidating!

Goldfinger’s radioactive Fort Knox gold plot foiled.
A plot in seven words.

“I never joke about my work, 007.”
Apart from the Q and Bond banter that defines their relationship in later movies, this line from Goldfinger gives a glimpse into a more serious and dire Q. It’s almost a desperate plea that is only touched on in later movies, but never emphasized like this. Too bad…

“10 will get you 1”
“It’s a drink or a dame.” This is one of those outdated, “ages like milk” sayings from the 1960’s that always gets me from Goldfinger – it’s Leiter tracking Bond and surmising why Bond is finally on the move.

No way Oddjob’s bowler cuts that statue
I mean I get why they did it, and it was a great effect. But why not have it cut something more believable? How horrific if it caused a death!

“And she’s covered in paint. Gold paint.”
It was a tragic call indeed, but Bond’s professional tone and stoic demeanor as he describes the scene make it a bit more harrowing.

Oddjob is a better henchman than Jaws.
Sure, Jaws gets all the glory and had two movie appearances. But there was something about Oddjob that fit perfectly in Goldfinger. The ruthless car murder, smashed golf ball, razor blade bowler hat, the muteness – it all contributed to an awesome character!

Bond and his Goldfinger caddy: odd duo
It ended up “working” and really was a unique dynamic not seen in other Bond movies.

Dr. No’s spider scene matches Goldfinger’s laser
Both are perfect examples of 1960’s movie tension. Although the glass can be “seen” behind the spider, the score and Bond’s reaction make it great. And I’m still impressed with the 1960’s special effects of the Goldfinger laser. Well done!

Lazenby should have had at least three.
He was just getting started with On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Such a shame. I’d love to have seen his Goldfinger.
