  • Bond, James Bond. Those three simple words are arguably the most famous in screen history, kicking off a franchise that’s lasted fifty-eight years, twenty five films and six actors in the lead and has grossed seven billion dollars to date and, arguably has shown more longevity than any other in screen history thanks to its ability to both reinvent itself for new generations and the fact that it never loses sight of what made it so popular in the first place.
    So join us here at JoBlo as we continue our look back at the franchise with the third James Bond film, GOLDFINGER, the movie which kicked off "Bondmania" turning the character into the icon we know today!.

      As I recall, there were different cuts of the film, or something slightly strange about the line reading in the scene. Doesn't Bond say something like: "Three more ticks.."? That makes no sense if the timer stopped at 007 originally, as it would mean that Bond implies yhe number 004 as being of some importance. This always puzzled me as a kid.

      @@Apanblod You're absolutely right. Bond DOES say "Three more ticks", because the counter originally did end at "003". It was only later this was changed, to add that extra "007" in-joke, but Connery's original line was kept - but I can't say for certain if it was because the producers forgot, didn't care, or it wasn't possible to change Connery's line as well.

AFTER this movie, it spawned a genre. Starwars and Raiders of the Lost Ark are cut from the same piece of cloth. I was 13 when the movie premiered and it just blew me away.

    The one that cemented the series as a phenomenon. Iconic, and for the first hour this film is brilliant and well paced. When Bond gets to Goldfinger’s farm, it starts to slow down, but as soon as Operation Grand Slam begins, it starts to pick up again. Very much in my top 10 favourite films of the series. Also kudos for mentioning Connery’s appearance in NSNA, terrible film but Connery is great in the film. Also special mention to Michael Collins, the actor who dubbed Frobe’s performance, No Mr Bond, I expect you to DIIIEEE. Perfect. As for Pussy Galore, yes in the novel she changes orientation due to meeting Bond, but in the novel Trigger Mortis, Pussy Galore reverts back to her true self, after meeting the daughter of an old friend of Bond’s.

    • @garrick3727
      @garrick3727 3 года назад +1

      I think the golf scene is part of what makes this film the best. They manage to have some moments where Bond is not doing action, is not seducing some woman, and is not gambling. They had similar in From Russia With Love, but when it came to Thunderball they started to lose the subtlety and the film is weaker as a result. Plus that sped-up boat scene at the end is hilariously bad. If someone could edit Thunderball to fix that scene would be twice as good.

      You have to wonder how it all went down. I assume he knocked her out, then undressed her, but I guess she was not wearing much. I suppose he painted her in the bath, but whether he poured paint in the bath, used a paint gun, or a brush is anyone's guess. Someone must have gone out of their way to make a big batch of gold paint, which Oddjob then had to bring with him. Then how did he get her on the bed without getting gold paint all over himself, unless he just sat around waiting for it to dry. The thought of Oddjob walking through the hotel lobby with gold paint on his hands and suit is pretty hilarious.

    Your reviews are just excellent- framing the time period and the context of what surrounded the film as well as giving us great clips and information that is probably unknown to all but the most devoted fans.
    This represents the Peak of James Bond and my personal favorite of the series.
    Sure, I think Casino Royale might just be the best Bond film ever but this one holds a special place for me because it was the very first one I ever saw and started my lifelong fandom.
    As you pointed out, this is the blueprint of the entire franchise and the genre itself - so it’s influence really can’t be overstated.

My parents, younger brother and I went to the World's Fair in New York and we got to see James Bond's car really up close. Whether it was the movie car or a touring replica I'm not certain but the spokesmodel extolled the virtues of that special car. My father managed to film about thirty seconds coming down an escalator and moving around it another 270 degrees worth.

It seems he tried wearing the same type of toupee from Thunderball in Never say Never but don't look well since he was 20 yrs older . The Aston Martin was a great touch and Odd Job was a memorable character of the film. I was disappointed he didn't use the machine guns on the car to mow anyone down but the new film has Craig doing a 360 mowing them down in his car . I heard so much about Goldfinger from so many people as a kid that I had to see the next film. This film had Connery acting more like the previous films and set the tone for gadgets I found the beginning slow till he got the car but the golfing was dull but I knew Connery enjoyed it since I heard he golfed alot after this film.

    Definitely the best Bond film, but not my favorite - although it's near the top of the list. It's got most of the iconic Bond moments - gold painted woman, Aston Martin, ejector seat, giant laser, steel rimmed bowler hat, Oddjob, Pussy Galore. Although I wouldn't say Honor Blackman is the most attractive Bond girl, I just really like the actress herself. She is probably the Bond girl where the actor matched the character the closest, except for maybe Grace Jones. She can judo throw people. She can ride a horse really well. Not sure if she can fly a plane, but I would not put money on her NOT being able to. I love how she was so confident that she scared all the men, even Connery. No-one knew how to handle her because she was so unreserved, which was still not a thing considered appropriate for women at the time. She would make a point of saying her character's name all the time because she found it funny how the men all cringed. And when she was interviewed about the movie she would say her character's name because the interviewers tried to avoid saying it. What a legend. (Also, there are jokey references to Goldfinger in The Avengers related to explaining where Dr Cathy Gale had gone to, including a postcard from Fort Knox.)

    What's there to say about Goldfinger that hasn't already? Connery, Goldfinger, Oddjob, Pussy Galore, the DB5, the soundtrack, everything about it is just perfect, I'd say it's where Connery's Bond peaked. Just perfect through and through.

      Whether ConneryBond "peaked" here is a matter of opinion. What is fact is that this entry is mostly if not singularly responsible for the Bond 'phenomenon' and the more general "spy craze" on both silver and tv screens, in part by openly catering to "n American" (US) audiences.

    It's often said that this movie set the template for Bond films going forward, but I would argue it produced the second template. The first being From Russian With Love. From here on you have two types of Bond films. You have your Goldfinger clones (You Only Live Twice, Diamonds are Forever, Moonraker, A View to a Kill) and your FRWL clones (OHMSS, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, Casino Royale). I don't think it's a coincidence that the FRWL clones are the better films. FRWL is a better movie.

      jordel2010: Me being kind of old, Goldfinger was the first Bond film I ever saw. I believe many people put this down as the best because Sean Connery is still widely viewed as the original and best Bond, and Goldfinger was probably his best performance as 007. And, of course, the first real introduction to Bond gadgets. From Russia With Love was also damn good. Daniel Craig’s reboot comes the closest to the original feel that Connery’s Bond had, IMHO.

    One of the best. Craig never could achieve this level of sophistication and even he admitted he has many reservations about taking the role. He looked ill at ease in the first and only achieved a modicum of respect in the 2nd but never as brilliantly done as Pierce Brosnan even.

    The Goldfinger Theme song is hands down the best. If you listen carefully, you can hear the Bond theme in certain passages. I don't think that ever happened in another Bond Title song. Perhaps this is because John Barry himself was co-writer, along with....Anthony Newley, who recorded early versions on the song. Shirley Bassey's perfect vocal performance is iconic. Who doesn't get a little chill when they hear those opening bars in the intro?
    Barely known trivia: A young Jimmy Page was on one of the acoustic guitars during the soundtrack recording session.

    I am sorry to one of those in disagreement, but as a Bond Fan, this is the Bond film I hatdc the most. During the entire time, Bond is held captive, making unsuccessful attempts to play saboteur to Goldfinger's plans, and is only successful because he nailed Pussy Galore hard enough for her to overcome for him in the 11th hour. From James Bond, I expect more capable spy work from him.
