Bondy. Jamie Bondy.
@@TheTcwalton Or as he was known on "Happy Days", Bondzie.
Next in line is Thunderball.
"Bondy, you gotta save your junk!" would've been a great advertising slogan for the film.
😂😂😂
Ah Goldfinger, the Bond movie where they finally cracked the formula for decades afterward. Cold open mission, big musical intro, briefing with M, flirting with Moneypenny, gadget briefing with "Q", taunting the villains through multiple encounters, villain henchman. Pretty much all the pieces are here now.
You can't quit Bond now, gotta watch them all!
Honor Blackman was such a badass, not only did she know Judo for real, she actually wrote a self defense book for women and during the press tour for the movie she took every opportunity to say the name Pussy Galore just to make the reporters uncomfortable.
Until she became best known for playing Cathy Gale opposite Patrick MacNee's John Steed in The Avengers , where in almost every episode she dressed in leather and used her judo skills to defeat the baddies .
@@derekheeps1244 "Goldfinger" came after her time on "The Avengers".
The first two films were successful, but this was the one that made the Bond films into a legendary series.
Goldfinger set the tone for future Bond films with more use of iconic gadgets made by Q, more one liners, Bond girls having iconic names and scenes like Jill Matheson being painted Gold but also the villains with over the top lairs, world domination etc.
My favorite Bond film. A classic.
This is one of my favorite Bond movies, and it has the best quote in the whole series "Do you expect me to talk?!" "No, Mr. Bond... I expect you to die."
Such a great line!!
It was one of my favorite scenes in the entire franchise because 007 used only his wits to save himself from certain death. No gadgets. And that was a great line.
@@jenmurrayxo So classic and good that even the spoof movie _Austin Powers_ had Dr. Evil speak the line verbatim, without any of the typical silly alterations the movie tended to make :-)
@@jenmurrayxo At a first showing of _'Goldeneye'_ I met the film critic Arch Campbell and the similarity in the names had us discuss _'Goldfinger.'_
I stated that THE greatest villain dialogue of all time was the whole exchange between Bond and Goldfinger, with the "No, I expect you to die" being the ultimate single line. Mr. Campbell agreed.
In the book it's a circular saw, rather than a laser.
One of the great movie lines.
"You expect me to talk?"
"Noooo Mr. Bond, I expect you to die"
This movie started the Aston Martin DB5's popularity. The car used in this film was just found after missing for 25 years.
Stays loyal to the Rolex Submariner
"The Great Escape" is an outstanding WW2 movie based on an even more amazing true story that is also kind of like a "caper" movie because it involves an intricate plan that has to be carried out surreptitiously under the noses of the authority figure antagonists.
Memorable all star cast from both sides of the Atlantic !
Great film!
@@garryiglesias4074 pity it never happened in RL.
I second that idea. Actually, there was ONE actor in The Great Escape who actually was in a Luftwaffe prison camp, understated actor and modest Donald Pleasence, an RAF non-commissioned officer who was shot down in real life over the Reich while on a bombing mission at age 18.
@@hamilton9479 Steve on his motorcycle never happened in RL, but the escape did, purely for the help in the war effort. The escapees had no real hope of returning home, but they did wish to disrupt the Nazi war effort by causing them needless expense, effort and diversion chasing after escaped POWs.
YES JEN!!! This Bond is the one that really made the 007 franchise take off. Thank you again for returning to these films, and reacting to them in release order. Goldfinger was truly the first real supervillain in this series of movies (until you get to the Bolfeld character) This is one of my personal favorites. Always here for your reactions! I sure you'll have some funny quips thrown in as well! Holding my breath until it starts!
Sorry everyone I misspelled, it's Blofeld, Ernst Stavo
@@e.d.2096 Blofeld was in From Russia With Love.
@@Cheepchipsable Yes he was. Bolfeld is in a few 007 films. In that one, he is introduced. But all see is his hand stroking that white cat. Not mentioned by name, but only referred to as number 1 . His real introduction is in the film " You Only Live Twice "
@@e.d.2096 I. Fleming and the J. Bond producers Broccoli and Saltzman ( E.O.N. ) got in so much trouble with the Blofeld
character with Kevin McClory.. E.O.N. could only make Thunderball by giving McClory a Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again
In 1976 E.O.N. lost the Blofeld character , now it was Stromberg. Today see No Time To Die E.O.N. got the Blofeld character back
The reason the gold bar seemed cheap to you is that the price of gold in 1964 was roughly $35.00 per oz. Today it is $1700.00 per oz. Thanks for a wonderfully animated reaction.
Thanks Joseph! 😊👍
Plus a dollar was worth more and the Pound Stirling was probably worth far more than the US dollar.
@@CheepchipsableIndeed. One Pound Sterling originally was the worth of one pound of silver, but nowadays, it only buys about a 300th pound. I'd have to look up when it was decoupled, but that movie was closer to that time than we are today by quite a couple of decades.
@@jenmurrayxoalso £5000 Sterling in today's money would be worth £113,734.85 today or $197,646.60 (thats Canadian as you are too)
“He is afraid of his own hat”. Don’t hear that in every film. Thanks for this one, Jen.
😂👍
"Bondy just does whatever he wants: 'It's okay; I'm handsome' " 🤣
Facts 😂
It was only the 3rd film.
But it was a phenomenon within the phenomenon.
Good story, theme song, dialogue, villains, girls, action, sexiness, etc.
007 was a much bigger number than before.
This was when it truly became a franchise.
Blockbuster-wise, theaters stayed open 24 hrs just to keep the crowds pleased.
Product-wise; clothes, cars, cologne or anything that was connected to Bond was being sold like crazy.
For the James Bond establishment on film, it set the bar even higher.
Don't forget toys! I had a Corgi Aston Martin complete with the weapons and ejector (and henchman).
@@mikejankowski6321 : Yep! I also had Corgi's Aston Martin car.
@@mikejankowski6321 I didn't forget toys. But a Corgi Aston Martin?!
That's new to me.
Jen Murray's Bond reactions is my new favorite thing.
Thanks! 😊👍
@@jenmurrayxo Complete them all!
"You expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."
"Great line." - One of the most famous lines from the movie... :)
I also love it when Bond says, "Well...congratulations on your promotion, Goldfinger. Are you having lunch at the White House too?"
I like my reactions shaken....not stirred!
This movie is generally rated as the most "favorite" Bond movie on polls over the years.
We're gonna keep going with the Bonds! Goldfinger is top 5 of all time in my opinion, be great to see you rank them when we get through them all, great reaction!
Two of my all time favourite movies are Goldfinger and Bullitt with Steve McQueen. I just love the style and fashions of the period, and I don't think any other lead actors ever looked cooler on screen. Both have killer soundtracks too.
Hell Yeah, i totally agree! Bullitt is a badass flick with a truly killer soundtrack!
I agree Lalo Schifrin knocked it out the park!
Great reaction, Jen! I love that you named the music low key MVP. This is the Bond movie that first incorporates the music and imagery in the title sequence that continue for every Bond movie since. An epic title song featured with silhouetted women and themed imagery become just as iconic as anything the character says or does. Seven Bond theme songs would go on to become top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (including Shirley Bassey’s Goldfinger).
Thanks Aharon! 😊👍
Maurice Binder was the creator of the title sequences of the Bond films until the 80's. My favorite theme songs are You Only Live Twice (Nancy Sinatra), Her Majesty's Secret Service (which is instrumental), Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney & The Wings), A View to a Kill (Duran Duran) and Goldeneye (Tina Turner ft. U2).
@@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc No, Goldfinger's titles weren't done by Maurice Binder. Not for this movie, nor the previous one. These titles were designer Robert Brownjohn. Personally, I think Brownjohn was slightly better than Maurice Binder.
The thing about "Goldfinger", unlike "Dr. No" or "From Russia with Love" that you have to understand is the is where the foundation was set establishing the standard for every Bond film that was to follow. It was the formula that made the franchise successful.
All movies start with the completion of his former mission, or the fallout of the same. Then there's the plot established by the villain, the assignment by M, the banter between Bond and Moneypenny, the gadgets offered via Q Branch, the location where the story takes place, the first meeting between Bond and the arch villain, (who is always a rich megalomaniac), the sacrificial lamb, who dies, the situation where Bond meets the Fin Fatal who is caught up in the plot, the chief hitch man who traps Bond, followed by the tense moments where Bond defeats the evil plan. Has his way with the girl and moves on.
It's interesting to note that No. 1, the head of SPECTRE, is never played by the same actor twice until the Daniel Craig films. I always thought that Max Von Sydow was the most iconic of the villainous, cat loving, leaders. My favorite henchman has always been Jaws. You'll see him later in the Roger Moore era, Jen. He was in two Bond films since he was very popular at the time. It's too bad that they stopped having such memorable and unique henchpeople in the later Bonds. They were always a staple of the classic films.
Yes, i think Jaws is the top Bond Villain henchman of the Franchise. My best Bond Villain could be Hugo Drax or Stronberg, both wanted to literaily destroy the world.
That's not true the Blofeld in From Russia With Love and Thunderball was the same two actors Anthony Dawson supplied the Body while Eric Pohlman does the Voice
@@ralphroshia9247 Cool. Thanks for the correction. 👍 I wasn't thinking about voice overs. Oopsie.
Spectre has high expectations and eliminates those who are not successful even the leaders
@@michaelgibson6204 They get dropped into a pool of liquid hot magma. 😂
I think I like Thunderball the best of Connery Bond films. It has a cool opening sequence and, if memory serves, a lot of interesting underwater sequences.
I like Thunderball because the Bond is constantly having to catch up to what the bad guys are doing... for most of the movie he's a step behind trying to figure out what's going on which makes it a good adventure for me. I also like Luciana Paluzzi as the femme fatale, Fiona Volpe.
This is the movie that set the formula !!!!!! The car , the story of the car is almost as fun as the Movies. Years later a collector with not the best background bought it. They stored it in a airport hanger . One night someone got past security and stole one of the most famous movie cars ever. It has never been seen again. All kinds of rumors on where it is but the car that is probably worth 10 Million Dollars today, has been lost and may never be found.
Definitely keep watching them in order!
I'll admit they're not all good, but going through the series in order really lets you appreciate how it and moviemaking in general evolved over the decades.
Sure not all of them are good or great but none of them are bad all of them have stuff that most people will like but I aslo say don't skip for no other reason than everyone's taste is different a favorite for most people you might dislike and ones that most people dislike you might like
So let's resume, Maps, timers, explosions, Jen will need gadgets for her escape, and also, she really really cares about people...example : " If she's killed by this hat i am gonna be really pissed " and let's not forget" Bondi, you gotta save your junk".... Epic Jen........I have seen this film...100 times but never enjoyed it so much......thank you so much...
Thanks Jean-Marc! I had such a fun time with this one!! 😆👍
Don't skip any of them! Please watch them all in release order. Some are better than others, but they're all worth watching at least once.
One of my favorites. Honestly, there's just such a good nostalgia for the older Bond movies that aren't so damn serious or trying to push bizarre agendas and narratives these days. These were just fun, at times outlandish, cool, sexy, action-y movies that never took themselves too seriously and certainly didn't patronize the audience.
There was an Aston Martin DB Mark III car in Ian Fleming's Goldfinger novel, but the Aston Martin company was by no means particularly enthusiastic about the Bond film. John Stears, a two-time Academy Award-winning special effects expert, went to Aston Martin to try and make a deal with them. Among the cars he saw a beautiful prototype DB5 and fell in love with it. It was not easy but John Stears eventually charmed Aston Martin's general manager and they got the car. With the success of the Goldfinger, the sales of Aston Martin went up by 60 percent and after that they never had any more problems getting cars from manufacturers for Bond films. The first so called Bond car (DB5) in Goldfinger made such an impression that it has since appeared in six more Bond films.
5:52 is one of the most iconic images in movie history.
Goldfinger was played by German actor Gert Fröbe. However, he spoke little English and it was felt that he was too difficult to be understood as he had to speak his lines phonetically, so, actually, his voice was dubbed for virtually the entire movie by English actor Michael Collins
Fun fact: Sean Connery and Gert Frobe were both in the D-Day movie The Longest Day.
Your reaction to Ms. Galore’s name was absolutely PRICELESS! So glad you’re going through the Bond movies! Keep up the great content!!
😂 Thanks Matthew!
Imagine if it was different dialogue that from what I'm aware of was considered...
Bond: Who are you?
Pussy Galore: My name is Pussy Galore.
Bond: Well, I'm sure you are, but what's your name?
I used to repeat "Pussy Galore" frequently at about 12yo, according to my mother & sister. I found a Goldfinger novel on sale the summer before Grade 6 and carried it around middle school to look cool.
9:00 - Auric Goldfinger was played by Gert Fröbe.
Fröbe, who spoke little English, said his lines phonetically, but was too slow. To redub him, he had to double the speed of his performance to get the right tempo.
The only time his real voice is heard is during his meeting with members of the Mafia. Bond is hidden below the model of Fort Knox whilst Fröbe's natural voice can be heard above. However, he was redubbed for the rest of the film by TV actor Michael Collins. The match is widely praised as one of the most successful dubs in cinema history.
I grew up in New York city. I was 10 when Goldfinger came out and I remember the line at the movie theater was 2 blocks long.
After the move came there were action figures. There was an Odd Job figure that could throw his hat and an Aston Martin DB5 model with an ejector seat, machine guns and the bullet proof shield. The car cost $4 dollars and My allowance was 50 cents a week. I didn’t get candy, soda or comic books and just saved my money for the toy car.
I went to a catholic school and the boys were required to wear ties, which we hated. After Goldfinger, we got rid our clip on ties for real ones and wore blazers to school so we could look like 007.
Must have been so awesome to see this as a kid!!
@@jenmurrayxo
It was. Wait until you see the action scenes in “Thunderball” and “You only live twice”!
Great reaction! Fun Fact: Moneypenny is played by Lois Maxwell a Canadian born in Kitchener Ontario. She has appeared in 14 of the James Bond movies. She was also in a popular show I watched as a kid, taking place in Ontario, Adventures in Rainbow Country. Margot Kidder, Lois Lane in Superman, was also in the show. Small world.
She also plays Atlanta Shore on a puppet show called *Stingray* and appeared on two or three episode of UFO (which was made by the same creator of Stingray)
Love that you’re viewing all the classic “Bondy” films! I think you’ll have fun. But when you are done, you have to - have to - watch the Austin Powers movies. They hilariously parody all the scenes you’ll recognize even in the films so far.
Looking forward to it!
Goldfinger is the film that established the Bond movie ‘formula’ that exists to this day: gun barrel walk, pre-credits sequence, sultry movie theme song with the racy credits, meeting with M, Q, Moneypenny and the villain, gadgets, amazing set designs for the villain’s lair, etc.
This movie had some of the greatest lines ever
Very glad that you've easily caught up with tropes and archetypes in Bond movies that quick! Goldfinger is the only Connery Bond movie that takes a breather from SPECTRE.
I dunno if you've seen them already, but the Austin Powers movies have huge influence in satirizing the Sean Connery era of Bond films.
In the book, Goldfinger does have a hand in SPECTRE. I forget exactly in what capacity.
"It's ok...I'm handsome." Another great quip, Jen!
😂
I was 5 years old when we saw this at our local drive-in-theatre. I remember being especially horrified when Goldfinger's driver/killer died from electrocution!
This is where Bond movies hit their stride and established what people expect from Bond movies. This and the next one are two of the all-time greats.
17:05 "oh Bondy" (after he crashes). He wasn't just a clutz. He had to turn to avoid a head-on crash (but it really was his own headlights reflected in a mirror)
You'd make a fantastic Moneypenny. Your cute glasses and mischievous smile are perfect for the part. 🤭🥰
On July 17, 1970, New Orleans International in Louisiana became the first airport to use magnetometers to detect weapons-or anything made of metal-together with behavioral profiling of passengers.
I also love the idea of Jen as a villain. She does love to crack a good safe , an affinity for fat stacks and diamonds, and loves a good heist / plan .
This Bond film had everything: the music, the villains, the locations, the plot - and the girl.
I always rank this one as the best, along with "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
Fun fact: Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore) was one of the original co-stars of the tv series "The Avengers", long before Diana Rigg made the series popular.
Definitely keep watching them, Jen!
If you liked the gadgets in this movie, you’ll love the gadgets he uses in Thunderball!
While there are no wrong answers per se to the question, "What is the greatest Bond film?", there are certainly responses that can raise eyebrows or sneers. But no one scoffs when _Goldfinger_ is named.
Moneypenny was Canadian Actress Lois Maxwell. Many “American” parts and voiceovers were done by Canadians at the time, as it was easier for them to get work visas for U.K.
These novels by Fleming were favorites of President John Kennedy. When we lost him the U.S. was hurting Bad.The U.K. came to the rescue. The Beatles and Goldfinger. 😊Think you for adding to my memory of our great culture together ❤.
I am thoroughly enjoying this journey of the Bond movie reactions with you Jen and I can't wait to see 'Moore' - haha see what I did there?
😂
Your reaction to P. Galore revealing her name was priceless.
One of my favorite quotes
Bond:
Here for the hunting season?
I had a case just like that one.
Tilly: It's for my ice skates.
Bond: Lovely sport.
I love this one. Even the golfing stuff because 007's caddie is a hilarious weirdo.
"...then I'M Arnold Palmer!" Great stuff.
This movie made the franchise big- Dr. No and from Russia with Love were then re-shown in cinemas because of the popularity of Goldfinger.
Fun fact, Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page played on the Goldfinger theme, he tells a story during the documentary, It Might Get Loud, that Shirley Bassey sang the theme in one take and collapsed at the end!
You: “ Are we going to see some gadgets?”
Me: “You’re going to see THE Bond gadget! The Aston Martin car is the most iconic Bond gadget of all time. So much so that it reappeared in the most recent Bond films, Skyfall and No Time to Die.”
Seeing you face light up with the explosions is pure GOLD. The Bond girl counter is hilarious. If you like heist movies watch HEAT or THE SCORE
Thanks! 😊👍
"I feel like this is very classic Bond"
Indeed it is. Even up until the last decade or so, Goldfinger was considered THE Bond film; the one to beat. This is where all the series' main tropes were truly born.
Loving your reactions to my favorite film franchise, Jen! PLEASE keep going!
Yes. please do all of them!
Its just fun to hear your british dialect during these 007 movies 😊
I first saw 'Goldfinger' 60 yrs ago, during the summer between my sophomore and junior yrs in high school. I snuck into the theater through the rear exit with my buddy, Jackie. It was a smash hit then, and I enjoyed the Bond mystique. But now it just seems like a giddy, cheesy romp.
The best part of the experience is the 007 Goldfinger theme song, sung with power and beauty by Miss Shirley Bassey. Her story about the recording is captivating - see Wikipedia for the funny details.
Connery in that grey suit... The peak of male coolness!
Whilst they become a mixed bag, it is probably worth doing them all because they are all entertaining, The Bond franchise swings between the perfect blend of action and wit, through to too jokey or too poe-faced, but I doubt any of them would feel like a waste of time and they are all worthy of reactions.
Whilst
@@h.donnellgrayiii4276 It' is indeed a word.
@@harnois75Oh heck I know that. Lol it's just not a word we use much here in Texas. Its actually the King's English which is proper English. I speak American
@@h.donnellgrayiii4276 What's the American version?
@@harnois75 Dem motherfuckers become a mixed bag after watching so much of dat James Bond 007 type shit (Boyz N da Hood translation)
This is arguably the best of all the Bond movies. It consistently rates in the top 3 according to fan polls.
Ian Fleming named his villain Goldfinger after the architect Goldfinger who he disliked. Likewise he named the Head of Spectre, Blofeld after an schoolfriend and father of the cricket commentator Henry Blofeld
Thunderball YES! The Goldfinger theme, sung br Shirley Bassey, is the best Bond theme song IMO. Followed closely by “Golden Eye” sung by Tina Turner. The Thunderball theme song is sung by Tom Jones, and is another banger.
When I saw this in the movies in 1965 it was so far ahead of it’s time. Enjoyed watching your reaction, especially your facial expression when Pussy Galores character was introduced. She was played by Honor Blackman a well respected English actor who I believe was older than Sean Connery
I saw it when released and noticed the same thing you did. Of course, back in the day, it was very edgy. It's hard for people today to realize the sensation this movie caused when it came out. Everyone was talking about it and of course we went back to the theater to see it multiple times. I think we paid $1.50 to see the movie.
@@aaaht3810 yeah….I was 15 and had never seen anything like it. But now looking back,I think the music was a big part of it.
@@fredmarinovich5477 I was 15 as well. My older brother had seen it and could not stop talking about it. He had the soundtrack album. I remember my mother did not approve of the album cover and some of the photos on the back (I believe one was the woman in the tub). Different times. But great memories.
Right with ya! I can actually remember seeing this in ‘65. Loved it, still do!
@@michaelsegriff3362 Seemed like the only thing people were talking about at the time was Goldfinger and The Beatles.
22:25
Bond: Hey, you wanna see something cool?
Guard: You know, I know you're playing me, but I do.
😉
Fun fact: Goldfinger is the only James Bond movie soundtrack album that went to #1 (so far). That happened in 1965, temporarily knocking out the Mary Poppins movie soundtrack album from the top spot!
Hands down my favorite Bond film....awesome!!
This is THE bond movie. Its the 1st movie that has everything - The gadgets, the bondgirls with the most outragous names the Aston Martin, the original theme and the best Bond theme of them all (although Live & Let Die comes a close 2nd).
Some fun facts - Pussy Galore was played by Honnor Blackman, who played Kathy Gayle, the 1st woman partner of John Steed in the UK TV series The Avengers (not the marvel stuff) from the 1960s, When she left Diana Rigg replaced her as Mrs Peel. This is very much a cult series, that was ressurected in the 1970s as The New Avengers and appeared in the late 1990s as a movie with Uma Thurman as Mrs Peel.
The Theme song Goldfinger was sung by Dame Shirley Bassey who did 2 further Bond Themes (Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker) and is the only singer to do more than 1 Bond Theme.
I thought you would really eye roll when she said her name, especially when he says "i must be dreaming" lol. I laugh every time at the look on his face.
This movie maybe from the 60s but it still holds up and still one of the best Bond films.
@@chrismeulen8108 I agree some of the stuff maybe dated but I still love watching it. Some people see old and can't get past it.
Goldfinger set the tone for future Bond films with use of gadgets, Bond women especially more then one at times in films, Bond villains with plans of world domination or other motives, over the top sets, music etc.
My favorite Bond film is 3 films in the series away, but it's a good idea to watch the series development even though they don't follow the novels' chronology. But please be sure to watch ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.
Hands down the best Bond story, I think.
Really love that one, too! That was the first one I was able to see in the theater due to the age restriction. Dianna Rigg played the short-lived Mrs. Bond and Telly Savalas as Blofeld. Olympic Gold Medal skier Jean-Claude Killy did the stunt skiing. The mountaintop fortress Schilthorn was still under construction, but provided the iconic lair.
@@jollyrodgers7272 your comment should start with SPOILER ALERT.
_"Even I could make that shot! He is distracted by the Nazi gold..."_
_"You had to see it comin', man! Ya don't say no to the bad guy!"_
😂
This is one of if not the most iconic bond movies ever! It’s also debatably the best one.
Definitely keep going! There’s no such thing as a bad Bond film (just some “less good” ones…). Always fun and good entertainment value in the suave spy-guns-cars-girls-villains-explosions ratio.
Hey Jen, "Goldfinger" is the "Bondiest" of the Bond films and has everything you'd want in a spy movie, just the way you said it. It's definitely my favorite of the Sean Connery Bond films. This also has one of the film's treasured henchmen, Oddjob, the literal "silent but deadly" flunkie with his deadly Bowler. Ya gotta love it! 🎩 Definitely continue with "Thunderball". Also, in the future at some time, you have to add the "Kingsman" and "Austin Powers" film series to your reactions. You'll love them if you want to see excellent spy films. Thanks again for another enjoyable reaction! 💰🪙
Thanks John! 👍
GOLDFINGER in my opinion is the Best Bond Film ever!!!The opening is the best opening to any movie I've seen!!!The musical soundtrack to this one in particular was Astounding!!And Shirley Bassey doing the theme song!!!The best gadgets too!!!Aston Martin DB5 with modifications!!!The Best Villian!!!!
Fun fact: Oddjob's actor Harold Sakata burned his hand when getting electrocuted, but still wouldn't let go of the hat since Guy Hamilton didn't say 'cut'.
Bring on: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" !!! ....Such a good movie in it's own right.
I was allowed to go to one of the downtown theaters in San Diego at young mature age of 11. It definitely made a lasting impression on this very young man.
Must have been fun to see this in theaters! 👍
@@jenmurrayxo not as much as when I was in my twenties with your girlfriend and a blanket at the drive in theater.😂
Correction, my first 007 movie downtown was Thunderball. I must be going senile.🤪
'not cheering for the bad guy...' right right, you just appreciate the art of the heist, like Goldfinger y'know? :D
The set design of Fort Knox was a superb piece of imagination ..
.. those that worked there said it came damn close
Great review Jen, thoroughly enjoying watching these reviews with you, please continue with the Bond movies and keep to the release order
Your accent is spot on.
You have made my day! 😆👍
Love the line: 'can't it wait, Felix? Something big's just come up!'
This movie turned James Bond from a novelty into an icon.
The height of Bond. Keep on going in release order Jen. 😊
Yes! Definitely continue with Thunderball please 😌
Lol love that Jen keeps saying gggggoooolldddd like gold member....🤣🤣🤣
Lollll that's my inner villain coming out 😂
Finally someone mentions the music by the great John Barry, who did the majority of the Bond films.
This was when Bond *really* became what we know today. Sadly, author Ian Fleming didn’t live to see the real success of his creation.
Hands down best Bond movie ever.
Fun fact! Honor Blackman playing Pussy Galore is wearing a Rolex GMT Master ref. 6542 (First woman btw featured with a man's sportswatch on film). Today this highly soughtafter Rolex collectible has been named "The Pussy Galore" !
Goldfinger is the prototypical Bond film, with the pre-title sequence that doesn‘t necessarily have to be connected with the main plot, the title song, the cool gadgets, and over-the-top villains.
The producers saw Gerd Fröbe in a German movie where he played a child murderer, and his agent claimed that he knew English. Unfortunately, he didn‘t, so he had to learn his lines phonetically and was latter overdubbed, but the voice is very close to the original. Even with these difficulties he is probably one of the best Bond villains ever.
BTW, the plot on Iain Flemming‘s book was actually less practical, because in it they tried to steal the gold with the use of a train. So this was changed to increasing the gold value by using a dirty bomb on Fort Knox.
The music sequence that starts with the planes taking off is one of the best in the Bond movies and probably one of the best works of composer John Barry. Unfortunately, his later music sounded a lot similar. Starting with his Oscar win for „Out of Africa“ he began to use the same arrangements and orchestrations over and over again. Even „Dances with Wolves“ sounds almost exactly like „Out of Africa“.
