@@criminalcontent The next film is "Thunderball" (1965) which is part of the SPECTRE saga, along with "Dr. No" and "From Russia with Love". An interesting fact is that "Thunderball" is the only film that has had a remake, the unofficial film "Never Say Never Again" (1983), in which Sean Connery returned as James Bond after several years of him leaving the franchise. That movie competed with the EON official film "Octopussy", with Roger Moore as Bond. It is the only time there have been two James Bond films in the same year, with two different actors playing the character.
Note how including the word “*perhaps*” gives me some leeway… Because *”Ice Cold in Alex”* might actually be the best film ever. It is “Worth waiting for” as they say.
@@kimabg I know John Williams was influenced by a bunch of things for the original Star Wars stuff and it's been commented on a lot. But I don't think I've ever seen Ice Cold in Alex mentioned. The driving imperial stuff is just ridiculously close!
@@JedHead77 Yeah but can be dark and fun, especially as a british agent. And especially they removed all the sexy bond girls. The Pussy Galore (and rape scene) or Octopussy were some brand making that is seriously missed nowadays by many
9:54 Shirley Eaton painted gold was the iconic image of Bond. It was homaged much later in Quantum Of Solace, it being the 20th Bond film. But instead of gold paint they used oil!
When Shirley Bassey was recording the opening theme she looked at the screen and saw that she was about two credits away from the final credit when she reached the final note so she held the note until she nearly passed out.

The "well that's not Sylvia Trench anymore" girl was played by actress Nadja Regin who had played a different character (Kerim Be's girl) in the previous Bond film, From Russia With Love. She was also the belly dancer in the FRWL opening credits. Regin herself suspected that she was offered the Goldfinger role as compensation for not having more scenes in FRWL. Regin passed away in 2019 at age 87.
"Ah! Ah!" -Odd Job Sean Connery and Gert Fröbe were both in The Longest Day (1962). Fort Knox scenes were filmed around and on the fort and an illegal low flyover the vault. They weren't supposed to fly that low but needed the shot and said screw it. Also Fort Knox and Louisville is where Stripes were filmed. Much has changed at Ft Knox as it's no longer a basic training so all the barracks have been razed. The historic brick buildings remain. The vault is not on Ft Knox actual, it shares the fenceline. And yes, Bullion Blvd and Gold Vault Rd are the real street names. If I'm not mistaken, sometimes I am, at 41:56 that building in the background looks like a D-Day landing craft trainer. What that was, was a building made to simulate a landing watercraft internal dimensions so military can practice driving various vehicles on and off. There's one remaining on Ft. Knox. Ft. Knox is best visited in October.
It was fun watching my favourite Bond film and seeing the reaction of this new generation. She’s actually an amusing commentator and well worth a watch. Thank you
It could have been four. I've got a CD with two versions of a song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," one of which is sung by her. It was intended for Thunderball until they went for the Tom Jones song instead, but if you listen to the score, you can tell that they use an instrumental version of that song a few times.
42:57 you have already made mention of the modern design in the architecture. The room sets, all the room sets for Dr No, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker were the created by Production Designer Ken Adam. Of all of Ken Adam’s sets the interior of Fort Knox is to me his enduring masterpiece.
@@frankie3041 no it was on a backlot at Pinewood Studios. Here is a clip with Connery explaining the todo between the Baretta and the Walther PPK ruclips.net/video/iccG2tK533w/видео.htmlsi=bbRBdeUiRe0NHaeb
this film was HUGE when it first came out. along with the film they marketed a brand of 007 spy toys like toy cameras that could turn into toy guns to promote the film. this was released in 1964 the same year the beatles first came to the u. s. bond and the beatles had a close but unoffocial relationship. they both caught on and rose to fame at the same time. the beatles 2nd film "help!" was a spoof of james bond and the soundtrack included a variation on the bond theme. in 1973 mccartney wrote the opening song for the bond film "live and let die." and in 1979 the opening song for monty python's film "life of brian" was a parody of the song "goldfinger." so much to say and so little james bond time. thanks for the video. i never watched a YT premier before. YOU'RE MY FIRST!
This is my favorite film of all time, and the best Bond film still in my opinion. It set the formula for all subsequent Bond films. It also features one of the most intelligent Bond villains. It takes Bond quite some time to figure out what Goldfinger's actual plan is. Everything about this film: Sean Connery at his peak Bond performance, the tailored clothing, the women, locations, gadgets, Oddjob, and dialogue have become iconic in film history
The idea came to Ian Fleming while he was staying at a health spa. He got in to a conversation with a gold dealer and gave him the idea for Gold finger. Great reaction.
Also the name "Goldfinger" was inspired by post war architect Erno Goldfinger, famous for a number of quite brutal concrete modernist tower blocks in London and elsewhere (Trellick Tower in West London is perhaps his most famous). Fleming liked the name for his villain.
@@jleano609but the guy wasn’t flattered in the slightest 😂. He threatened to sue but backed off when Fleming said that he was gonna change it to goldprick.
Good catch (Opening scene of Indiana Jones Temple of Doom outfit). Spielberg was a huge Connery fan...which is why he wanted him to be Indy's father...in his mind Indy was crafted after James Bond.
Great watching Goldfinger with you. I was eight years old visiting my oldest sister in Chicago living in a huge apartment complex. I met another boy name Jimmy (age seven) who let me know Goldfinger was playing, at a cinema, a few blocks away. His mother and my sister let us walk to see the movie. I had never seen any movie like this and had never heard of James Bond. In those times, you paid and could stay watching the movies one to as many times while it was playing; we saw it three times. A couple days later we went and watched it another few times. Since then, I have gone to every Bond movie in the theater and caught up to the ones before Bond. Goldfinger has been my favorite Bond seeing it over twenty times. It never gets old, as I get to see the companies that was in the 60s, which is not around today.
British actress Honor Blackman became famous in the UK for playing Mrs. Gale in the 60's TV spy show called The Avengers. When male co-star Ian Hendry left The Avengers, Honor was chosen to replace him, but they decided NOT to rewrite the scripts already written for Hendry. Thus Honor's Mrs. Gale became famous for her fight scenes and " manly " approach to villains.
I love the Christmas themed episode of The Avengers with Diana Rigg.Steed opens up a Christmas card,and proclaims "Ah,Mrs Gale...but what is she doing at Fort Knox?"
For some trivia, Gert Fröbe (Goldfinger) played Baron Bomburst in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a book written by Ian Flemming. Albert Broccoli produced CCBB and the James Bond series of films.
51:39 - That's actually really cool :) Everyone always says Goldfinger (or some other later entry), so it's nice to hear something different for a change, and that's the OG is gettin' some love.
Coby is my new favorite reactor. Love that she has such depth/knowledge of film and entertainment for such a young person and brings that to her reactions, along with genuine enthusiasm. She's a real film nerd without claiming to be a know-it-all. Plus, her inflection at 33:12 - 33:17 is self-aware gold.
Auric Goldfinger was played by German actor Gert Fröbe. Fröbe, who did not speak English well, was dubbed in the film by Michael Collins, an English actor.
3:00: You are correct, Coby. 👏🏼👏🏼 When they were trying to cast Indy’s father, Spielberg and Lucas figured he was modeled after Bond, so why not get the original Bond?
Yep, The road that passes in front of the Gold Depository at FT Knox is called Bullion Boulevard. And if you drive past that exit off hwy 31W (traveling North) the Patton Museum will be on the right. I grew up just a little North of FT Knox and returned for a visit last summer, after being gone for over 48 years, what a change! From seeing thousands of soldiers training with all the armored vehicles (tanks etc) in the 1960‘s(when this movie was filmed) to today with just a fraction of the personnel. It was like a ghost town……
Love how she doesn’t get a offend by bond’s ‘man talk’ butt slap scene, she accepts it and laughs, classic scene and awesome movie, definitely connery’s best bond film
@@PresentsCinema what makes you think he’s even a hero? 😂 If you read the books, you’ll see that he’s more of a flawed antihero. According to Fleming’s message that he sent to Raymond chandler: "I DIDN'T INTEND FOR BOND TO BE LIKABLE. HE'S A BLUNT INSTRUMENT IN THE HANDS OF GOVERNMENT. HE'S GOT VICES AND FEW PERCEPTIBLE VIRTUES."
@@PresentsCinema EXACTLY! That’s why I hated when they went full on superhero mode (I don’t think it was bad I just hated it). As much as they were fun and iconic, imo they gave people the wrong impression about him (that he’s an emotionless womanising and formulaic action character which could not further from the truth) because there is depth and complexity to him more than people realise. They are pretty straightforward and simple spy THRILLERS but they do have a bit of grit and realism to it (and I say this because people like john le Carré or fans of him put them down because they’re not an accurate depiction of espionage and the Cold War. Even though Fleming made it fully clear and never hid the fact that it was all fictional and meant to be entertaining escapism).
All the Fort Knox soldiers they hired to be extras really got a kick out of passing out over and over again for multiple takes of the gassing scenes. The director loved them because as soldiers, they really knew how to take directions.
The "golden girl" in the opening titles, who also played "Dink" in the first scene, was legendary nude model Margaret Nolan. That same year she appeared as Grandad's escort at the Circe Club in the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night." The actor playing the gentleman who briefs Bond and M over some rather disappointing brandy also appeared in "A Hard Day's Night" as the grumpy man sharing a train compartment with the Beatles.
Actually the first James Bond was in the 50's,. History Contrary to popular belief, the honor of being the first actor to play James Bond fell not on Sean Connery, but on American Barry Nelson, who starred in this live 1 hour production of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale. The performance on 21st October 1954
Goldfinger is the most iconic of all James Bond films. If someone who'd never seen a James Bond movie asked me which movie they should watch, to get a feel for the whole series, I would recommend Goldfinger. If they like Goldfinger: good news: there are plenty of more 007 movies to discover. But if you don't like Goldfinger, you probably won't be a fan of this series.
That movie was great Coby! Yes next is Thunderball to stay in order but once were done with the best actor to ever play Bond after a few more Connery movies, we won't be disappointed in Roger Moore who took over for a few more years. Trust me those are the 2 best. Different styles.
James Bond series were the Star Wars / Indiana Jones movies of the 60s. We were also in the height of the Cold War. It had only been 2 years since the Cuban Missile Crisis where we came close, very close, to nuclear annihilation. 007 fit right in with the atmosphere surrounding most Americans. BTW, I remember when I was in elementary school we use to have nuclear war drills where we got under our desk when the alarm sounded. As a smart ass 6th grader I used to joke about how silly it was to think that a desk could protect you from a nuclear blast. My running joke was, "In case of an atomic bomb detonating over you; get down on your knees, get under your desk, put your head between your legs, and kiss your sweet ass goodbye."😅 It really was a different time. I remember going shopping with my mother and seeing air raid shelter signs on buildings in the down town area of Miami. Every Saturday, at 12 noon the air raid siren would go off. You could hear it miles away. I think James Bond provided some escape from the nuttiness.
It really was the start of the action adventure film genre. Prior to this, the only movies that had stunts and fight scenes were war movies and westerns.
It was called "Duck and cover" and I also went thru them in elementary school in the 60's. It wasn't meant to protect from an overhead detonation, but to protect yourself from schrapnel from the shock wave. Nothing would protect from an overhead detonation.
Coby is by far the prettiest of all the female RUclips reaction channels. Glad you are enjoying the classic Bond films. Please watch them all in the order of release. My favorite Bond actor is Timothy Dalton. Can’t wait to see your reaction to his performance and films. Cheers.
Well, thank you, Inna, for saying nice crowd, as I was part of the audience and it was a great experience and the atmosphere was amazing. I'd already seen INXS twice before and I of those times was when they supported Queen at Wembley in 1986 in london
Coby, you picked the best James Bond movie in the whole franchise. I was a James Bond fan from highschool until Sean Connery was replaced. Call me old fashioned ( I am 77) but there will never be another 007 other than Connery. Love all your reactions, you guys are the best.😊❤
Goldfingers plane flies into Baltimore-Washington International Airport. It's now called Thurgood Marshall International Airport. As a Baltimore native it always seems strange hearing the new name.
In my head canon, I imagine a group of "weird" teenagers making a home movie around the same time Goldfinger and crew arrive at the airport. They include a skinny kid with a pencil mustache and his chunky friend dressed in drag. No doubt upon seeing them disembark, the former said, "what a bunch of freaks." With more than a little bit of droll self-awareness, of course. Pink Flamingos aren't just for Florida...
I like it that you do older movies like Bond and Hitchcock. It's some really interesting nostalgia trips. And very different ways of doing movies, and it's interesting to see how the craft has evolved over the decades. Thanks.
The first two Bond films but especially this Blockbuster started the Spy Craze on US television in the 60's. There was The Man from UNCLE, I Spy, Mission Impossible and even Mel Brooks got into it with Get Smart. I remember as a kid I had a toy Spy Briefcase that had a lot of the gadgets in it like Bond had in the 2nd movie.
From a technical and writing perspective, I'm not putting this ahead of From Russia With Love, but it's the movie that really launched the series and has all the iconography and formula that would stay relatively in tact over the course of the series. It has some of the most memorable moments and lines as well. As a kid I probably liked it more than I do now, but I still enjoy it. Connery is a lot more comfortable in the role and a lot more detached as a result. His reaction to finding the girl covered in gold paint is tepid at best.
I was stationed at Fort KNox twice, I took Basic Training and AIT there, and I served my last year in the Army back at Ft. Knox. The gold depository is really close to the PX (the Army version of a department store) Those street names are true.
Great Reaction. Honor Blackman who played Ms Galore broke the mold in England as she was the first Female detective to share equal billing with her male counterpart in "The Avengers" 1962 and it all came about because the lines were written for a male actor(Ian Hendry) whp appeared in the first series but he pulled out, at the last minute for the second series as, ironically, he was asked to be in a Bond film and they did not have time to re-write the lines. The wondrous Honor was superb and all the other Women that followed her, notably, Diana Rigg, benefitted from her pathing the way:). In fact,I think,she left to star in this very film...LOL
Finally, the film with the Midas Touch! _Goldfinger_ is maybe my favorite Bond film ( _Casino Royale_ is it's strongest competition) as well as one of my favorite films of all time! Glad to see you checking it out at last!
The first Bond film to be a huge hit in the US. It kicked off the spy craze of the 60s. Studios were all trying to start their own super spy franchise. Including the Derek Flint films starring James Coburn(which are lots of fun) and the Matt Helm films starring Dean Martin (which are a weird mix of action, comedy, and musical interludes). The TV networks aired all sorts of spy shows. Including The Man from UNCLE, Mission: Impossible, I Spy, Get Smart, and my favorite, Wild Wild West. All sorts of spy themed toys and merchandise (I had two versions of Bond's Aston Martin, one battery operated and one diecast). You could even get 007 cologne and deodorant (You too can smell like Bond!) Goldfinger established a lot of the tropes that became part of the Bond formula in films to come. Including a pre-credits mini-adventure (Roger Moore will perfect this), a Bond girl with a double entendre for a name, a henchmen with a gimmick, one last attempt to kill Bond by the villain or henchmen (though From Russia With Love did this as well), the gadget filled car (usually an Aston Martin, sometimes a BMW, and the most impressive being a Lotus).
Most of these Bond knockoffs were really comedic parodies. They knew they didn't stand a chance to compete with 007 and so they did not take themselves seriously. Goldfinger also started the trope of the Bond girl sacrificial victim with Jill and Tilly. If Dr. No was filmed later, the character of Miss Taro would've been killed off.
Tania Mallet played Tilly while Shirley Eaton played Jill. Eaton had a long string of screen credits, often playing eye candy in British comedy films like 'The Naked Truth,' various 'Carry On...' and 'Doctor in the House' type films, Mallet doesn't seem to have been in anything else. Skin suffocation isn't a real thing BTW, though Ian Fleming seems to have believed it was, writing this death into the original novel. But there is a risk of heat exhaustion or an allergic reaction, so apparently they had doctors on the shoot, just in case.
FUN FACT: Tania Mallet was considered for the role of Tatiana Romanova in FRWL because the actress was half Russian. However she’s been rejected because of her English accent
One of my favourite Bond films, a real classic. Sean Connery stars in another favourite film of mine released in 1964 co-starring with the gorgeous Tippi Hedren, Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie. Didn't get favourable reviews at the time, but now seen as one of Hitchcock's last great movies. Worthy of a reaction too, the ending always has me crying buckets! 😭 In fact as I typed this and reminded myself of the final scene, I started crying. That's how good it is! 👍
Great reaction, Coby! In the final scene when the plane is crashing, you can make out on the radar screen how it indicates that Bond and Galore are parachuting from the plane. I think you just missed this, but it kinda shows that the couple didn’t die in the crash just before we catch them on the ground. Looking forward to your Thunderball reaction, which is my favorite Bond movie.
Thunderball is the next Connery film. You should consider watching, “ On Her Majesty’s Secret Service “. With all of its perceived flaws, many Bond fans and film critics list it as the best overall film in the series.
Definitely watch them in order. The first 6 movies in chronological order build a lot on each other and make for a very good viewing experience. Things get a bit rockier after there.
@@Yngvarfo But I hardly think that counts against Oddjob, who after all was killed in Goldfinger, following the plot of the novel. Jaws was invented for the movies, and could be re-used at will.
@@richardzinns5676 True, but most people only know the movies, and my guess is that Jaws is more widely remembered than Oddjob. Not by much, maybe, but aside from being in more movies, he has a more memorable appearance, and the manner of killing is even more memorable.
It's great that you still find Dr. No your favourite Bond movie of that era (so far), as It shows that you're comfortable with slower paced older movies. For that reason I think you'll really enjoy Thunderball, which is directed by the same guy that did Dr. No, and has a similar vibe (but much better in my humble opinion).
Her favourite movie choices are so bad. I have never heard of anyone preferring Dr No to Goldfinger. But I do like her reactions. Only Ashleigh Burton has better reactions.
I prefer From Russia with Love out of all Connery's films, but I can absolutely understand why someone would prefer Dr. No. This series got a bit hokey, absurd and increasingly tongue in cheek as it went on, but Dr. No came before most of that. Now that we've reached the point in the franchise where all of its hallmarks have been established, I think she's probably not going to enjoy the series as much from here on out. (She's already rolling her eyes at some of the one liners and character names.) If so, then it's only a matter of time before asshole commenters start yelling at her for not being as enthused about these movies as they are, at which point she'll probably stop reacting to these movies. Personally, I'd be fine with her reacting to just the Connery films and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, then skipping the Moore era and going straight into Timothy Dalton's films since they're a bit more serious in tone.
That Mustang may have been one of the first produced. It was a 65 model, but as a promotional gimmick released it prior to their other models. It's routinely referred to as a 1964 1/2 Mustang.
Hi, my lovely Coby ❤ I'm not joking one bit when I say that the golf scene in Goldfinger is one of my favorite moments in all 25 movies. I love his caddy so much. "If that's his ball, then I'm Arnold Palmer." 😊
11:41 I always found the most shocking thing about this movies is that Colonel Smither’s actor was only 37 or 38 while filming Goldfinger. I never would have guessed he wasn’t in his 50s. I recall seeing a documentary about Dr. No where they intentionally made flying an aspect of the movie as it was expensive and rare form of travel. It helped the escapism aspect of the movies.
Did you notice the time left on the atomic bomb, "007" seconds. You have been watching the Bond movies in order so the next one should be Thunderball. It came out in 1965.
Did you know in the first week of cinema release it actually said “003” ? If you listen to the dialogue he says 3 more ticks ! The shot was changed to “007” when it was pointed out to Cubby he’d missed a trick. The dialogue wasn’t changed though.
Hi Coby, love your content and glad you showed one of my favourite movies, let alone Bond films I’ve seen and nowadays I’m not a movie guy, I wish we could just go back to the old days of the 80’s and 90’s where movies, TV and music was much better than today’s standard. Can’t wait for the next one👍.
"Run along, Dink. Man talk." (Slaps her on the ass) About the only thing that makes me laugh more than that moment (which a critic once described as "breathtakingly sexist", which pretty much nails it) is watching younger generations trying to process exactly what the hell they just saw. You just know that off camera Connery probably had occasion to bust that out once or twice.
Considering Bond is about to discuss an operation and the woman is the hotel masseuse and known to him on a first name basis it is perfectly appropriate that he send her on her way. They are about to discuss CIA and British Intelligence business. In fact it's "breathtakingly apt". The critic probably had an F- in critical thinking and an A+ in Feminist interpretation of everything.
@@terrortorn Uh huh. You're kind of burying the lede there by framing it simply as "Bond sends her on her way" while overlooking *how* he does it. "Breathtakingly apt" it ain't, but sure, keep telling yourself it's everyone else's lack of critical thinking skills that's the problem and not your dogshit opinions.
Austin Powers is indeed a spoof of Bond, but also of other British "swinger" and "mod" types of the 60s, such as the photographer played by David Hemmings in the movie "Blowup"
It's just superhuman. Believe the crushing a golfball thing was tested (by Mythbusters or someone). Requires orders of magnitude more force than any human is capable of exerting with their hands.
And finally, 46:38 the demise of Oddjob actually severely burnt Horold Sakata’s hand. When the pyrotechnics went off, the director was meant to say “cut,” but sadly the cut shout was delayed, or not heard by Sakata, so he did what he was asked to do…..he held on to the hat too long and hence burned his hand. Real pro our Harold! As a kid of 9 or 10, the fight scene in From Russia With Love, the train fight, and this sequence had an immense effect on me. It made me want to work in the film industry, alas never to be realised, but it forged a life long love affair with Bond. The good ones, the bad ones, and some of the Roger Moore indifferent ones. Until that is, a certain Daniel Craig rekindled the old fashioned joy of those early Bond Films.
I really liked the fight scene in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in the hotel room early in the movie. For the late 60's I thot that looked rather real.
Coby, while you were talking through the end credits, they said, "the end of Goldfinger, but James Bond will be back in, Thunderball", so that would be the next one to watch. Did you notice the product placement in the movie? Except for the Aston Martin and the Rolls Royce, all the other cars were new Fords, even the Lincoln being crushed. Out of curiosity, I went on IMDB and looked up the actress P*ssy Galore, (oops, I mean, HONOR BLACKMAN 😉), and found out she was in the Avengers before Diana Rigg. Speaking of Diana Rigg, she will be a Bond Girl a few movies down the road. Her character and James have a couple of things happen between them, but you'll just have to wait and see what that is...
44:40 "Moooon, riiiiver" :) You aren't the only one. Brillant story. Anthony Newley won the Oscar for Goldfinger, and ran into the man he had just beaten going into the toilet, Henry Mancini. Mancini congradulated him and asked where he came up with the melody. Newley just shruged, said thank you and shook hands while Mancini threw him a little two finger salute and winked. Newley was washing his hands and humming started singing Moon River in the mirror, and blurted an "d'oh fuck" in realization. Mancini won for Moon River the year previous. It was a coincidence, just that Mancini thought it hilarious.
The next 'Bond' film, "Thunderball" is an excellent one as well, you might as well do all the Connery ones at least, but I'd suggest that you react to them all.

@@criminalcontent The next film is "Thunderball" (1965) which is part of the SPECTRE saga, along with "Dr. No" and "From Russia with Love". An interesting fact is that "Thunderball" is the only film that has had a remake, the unofficial film "Never Say Never Again" (1983), in which Sean Connery returned as James Bond after several years of him leaving the franchise. That movie competed with the EON official film "Octopussy", with Roger Moore as Bond.

The "well that's not Sylvia Trench anymore" girl was played by actress Nadja Regin who had played a different character (Kerim Be's girl) in the previous Bond film, From Russia With Love. She was also the belly dancer in the FRWL opening credits. Regin herself suspected that she was offered the Goldfinger role as compensation for not having more scenes in FRWL. Regin passed away in 2019 at age 87.
"Ah! Ah!" -Odd Job
Sean Connery and Gert Fröbe were both in The Longest Day (1962).
Fort Knox scenes were filmed around and on the fort and an illegal low flyover the vault. They weren't supposed to fly that low but needed the shot and said screw it. Also Fort Knox and Louisville is where Stripes were filmed. Much has changed at Ft Knox as it's no longer a basic training so all the barracks have been razed. The historic brick buildings remain. The vault is not on Ft Knox actual, it shares the fenceline. And yes, Bullion Blvd and Gold Vault Rd are the real street names.
If I'm not mistaken, sometimes I am, at 41:56 that building in the background looks like a D-Day landing craft trainer. What that was, was a building made to simulate a landing watercraft internal dimensions so military can practice driving various vehicles on and off. There's one remaining on Ft. Knox.
Ft. Knox is best visited in October.
Consistently voted THE Bond movie of all time, it has all the ingredients gadgets, cars, henchmen, action, and women. Loved the reaction
it is... although for me goldeneye is it. but i do see why this is at the top.. also living daylights doesnt get the credit it deserves
Meh, Spy Who Loved Me has that honor for me.
@@cruelangel8689 ehhh, haha we can all have our favorites.. ive had so many nights i get home and my default is dr. no... so who knows
I much prefer the movies on either side of Goldfinger. From Russia with love and Thunderball.
All Terence Young films are better than Goldfinger, I will die on that hill
Chronological Order would bring you to: "Thunderball", another Excellent Bond Film, but of course!
Yes, and as you go through the movies you will see they sometimes changed their mind with which movie was going to be next
That one has a good Bond girl in it
I love watching movies with the beyond gorgeous COBY!
It was fun watching my favourite Bond film and seeing the reaction of this new generation. She’s actually an amusing commentator and well worth a watch. Thank you
4:41: *Shirley Bassey* is the only performer to sing *three* Bond opening title songs. 🎶
It could have been four. I've got a CD with two versions of a song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," one of which is sung by her. It was intended for Thunderball until they went for the Tom Jones song instead, but if you listen to the score, you can tell that they use an instrumental version of that song a few times.
@@Yngvarfo True. That’s what Bond was called in Japan. Dionne Warwick also had recorded a version of that song as well.
@@JedHead77 Right. That was the other one.
Happy 60Th Anniversary Of Goldfinger 007
42:57 you have already made mention of the modern design in the architecture. The room sets, all the room sets for Dr No, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker were the created by Production Designer Ken Adam. Of all of Ken Adam’s sets the interior of Fort Knox is to me his enduring masterpiece.
The set for Fort Knox was so impressive that people thought that the filmmakers got access to the high-security facility!
It wasn't?? 😱

this film was HUGE when it first came out. along with the film they marketed a brand of 007 spy toys like toy cameras that could turn into toy guns to promote the film. this was released in 1964 the same year the beatles first came to the u. s. bond and the beatles had a close but unoffocial relationship. they both caught on and rose to fame at the same time.
the beatles 2nd film "help!" was a spoof of james bond and the soundtrack included a variation on the bond theme. in 1973 mccartney wrote the opening song for the bond film "live and let die." and in 1979 the opening song for monty python's film "life of brian" was a parody of the song "goldfinger." so much to say and so little james bond time. thanks for the video. i never watched a YT premier before. YOU'RE MY FIRST!
Every kid wanted the Corgi Aston Martin!
This is my favorite film of all time, and the best Bond film still in my opinion. It set the formula for all subsequent Bond films.
It also features one of the most intelligent Bond villains. It takes Bond quite some time to figure out what Goldfinger's actual plan is.
Everything about this film: Sean Connery at his peak Bond performance, the tailored clothing, the women, locations, gadgets, Oddjob, and dialogue have become iconic in film history
They knew how to make movies back then! 😮
The idea came to Ian Fleming while he was staying at a health spa. He got in to a conversation with a gold dealer and gave him the idea for Gold finger. Great reaction.
Also the name "Goldfinger" was inspired by post war architect Erno Goldfinger, famous for a number of quite brutal concrete modernist tower blocks in London and elsewhere (Trellick Tower in West London is perhaps his most famous). Fleming liked the name for his villain.
@@jleano609but the guy wasn’t flattered in the slightest 😂. He threatened to sue but backed off when Fleming said that he was gonna change it to goldprick.
Good catch (Opening scene of Indiana Jones Temple of Doom outfit). Spielberg was a huge Connery fan...which is why he wanted him to be Indy's father...in his mind Indy was crafted after James Bond.
In my head canon, Indiana Jones is the birth father of Connery's Bond. That would account for the resemblance to his grandfather...
Great watching Goldfinger with you. I was eight years old visiting my oldest sister in Chicago living in a huge apartment complex. I met another boy name Jimmy (age seven) who let me know Goldfinger was playing, at a cinema, a few blocks away. His mother and my sister let us walk to see the movie. I had never seen any movie like this and had never heard of James Bond. In those times, you paid and could stay watching the movies one to as many times while it was playing; we saw it three times. A couple days later we went and watched it another few times. Since then, I have gone to every Bond movie in the theater and caught up to the ones before Bond. Goldfinger has been my favorite Bond seeing it over twenty times. It never gets old, as I get to see the companies that was in the 60s, which is not around today.
British actress Honor Blackman became famous in the UK for playing Mrs. Gale in the 60's TV spy show called The Avengers.
When male co-star Ian Hendry left The Avengers, Honor was chosen to replace him, but they decided NOT to rewrite the scripts already written for Hendry. Thus Honor's Mrs. Gale became famous for her fight scenes and " manly " approach to villains.
I love the Christmas themed episode of The Avengers with Diana Rigg.Steed opens up a Christmas card,and proclaims "Ah,Mrs Gale...but what is she doing at Fort Knox?"
I watched that episode just a few weeks ago👍
For some trivia, Gert Fröbe (Goldfinger) played Baron Bomburst in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a book written by Ian Flemming. Albert Broccoli produced CCBB and the James Bond series of films.
"Something big came up" carry On style double entendre from our hero in this one made me laugh out loud.
Love the 60's Bonds with Connery.
51:39 - That's actually really cool :) Everyone always says Goldfinger (or some other later entry), so it's nice to hear something different for a change, and that's the OG is gettin' some love.
Coby is my new favorite reactor. Love that she has such depth/knowledge of film and entertainment for such a young person and brings that to her reactions, along with genuine enthusiasm. She's a real film nerd without claiming to be a know-it-all. Plus, her inflection at 33:12 - 33:17 is self-aware gold.
Thank you !!!
Auric Goldfinger was played by German actor Gert Fröbe. Fröbe, who did not speak English well, was dubbed in the film by Michael Collins, an English actor.
47:03...When Oddjob chops the head off of the statue you can clearly see his hat has a metal brim.
3:00: You are correct, Coby. 👏🏼👏🏼
When they were trying to cast Indy’s father, Spielberg and Lucas figured he was modeled after Bond, so why not get the original Bond?
Yep, The road that passes in front of the Gold Depository at FT Knox is called Bullion Boulevard. And if you drive past that exit off hwy 31W (traveling North) the Patton Museum will be on the right. I grew up just a little North of FT Knox and returned for a visit last summer, after being gone for over 48 years, what a change! From seeing thousands of soldiers training with all the armored vehicles (tanks etc) in the 1960‘s(when this movie was filmed) to today with just a fraction of the personnel. It was like a ghost town……
Love how she doesn’t get a offend by bond’s ‘man talk’ butt slap scene, she accepts it and laughs, classic scene and awesome movie, definitely connery’s best bond film
Tbh it is kinda funny because of how times change 😂
@@mohammedashian8094 yeah change for the worse, they’ll make James Bond be the villain in modern hollyweird
@@PresentsCinema what makes you think he’s even a hero? 😂 If you read the books, you’ll see that he’s more of a flawed antihero. According to Fleming’s message that he sent to Raymond chandler: "I DIDN'T INTEND FOR BOND TO BE LIKABLE. HE'S A BLUNT INSTRUMENT IN THE HANDS OF GOVERNMENT.
HE'S GOT VICES AND FEW PERCEPTIBLE VIRTUES."
@@mohammedashian8094 I should read the books but he’s a hero to me just ruthless and ain’t Superman
@@PresentsCinema EXACTLY! That’s why I hated when they went full on superhero mode (I don’t think it was bad I just hated it). As much as they were fun and iconic, imo they gave people the wrong impression about him (that he’s an emotionless womanising and formulaic action character which could not further from the truth) because there is depth and complexity to him more than people realise.
They are pretty straightforward and simple spy THRILLERS but they do have a bit of grit and realism to it (and I say this because people like john le Carré or fans of him put them down because they’re not an accurate depiction of espionage and the Cold War. Even though Fleming made it fully clear and never hid the fact that it was all fictional and meant to be entertaining escapism).
Goldfinger, Man with the Golden Gun and Golden eye. All amazing Bond films.
All the Fort Knox soldiers they hired to be extras really got a kick out of passing out over and over again for multiple takes of the gassing scenes. The director loved them because as soldiers, they really knew how to take directions.
The "golden girl" in the opening titles, who also played "Dink" in the first scene, was legendary nude model Margaret Nolan. That same year she appeared as Grandad's escort at the Circe Club in the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night." The actor playing the gentleman who briefs Bond and M over some rather disappointing brandy also appeared in "A Hard Day's Night" as the grumpy man sharing a train compartment with the Beatles.
Actually the first James Bond was in the 50's,. History Contrary to popular belief, the honor of being the first actor to play James Bond fell not on Sean Connery, but on American Barry Nelson, who starred in this live 1 hour production of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale. The performance on 21st October 1954
that WAS NOT bond. Bond is a British man born James Andrew bond. You can forget about that godawful nonsense that they did.
Goldfinger is the most iconic of all James Bond films. If someone who'd never seen a James Bond movie asked me which movie they should watch, to get a feel for the whole series, I would recommend Goldfinger. If they like Goldfinger: good news: there are plenty of more 007 movies to discover. But if you don't like Goldfinger, you probably won't be a fan of this series.
My favorite Sean Connery 007 film is Thunderball. -OG
comin' up soon !
This one full of iconic scenes, the best ever bond
You are so delightful and I’m really happy you are enjoying the bond movies and sharing your experience with us.
Thank you so much!
That movie was great Coby! Yes next is Thunderball to stay in order but once were done with the best actor to ever play Bond after a few more Connery movies, we won't be disappointed in Roger Moore who took over for a few more years. Trust me those are the 2 best. Different styles.
thank you !!!!
James Bond series were the Star Wars / Indiana Jones movies of the 60s. We were also in the height of the Cold War. It had only been 2 years since the Cuban Missile Crisis where we came close, very close, to nuclear annihilation. 007 fit right in with the atmosphere surrounding most Americans.
BTW, I remember when I was in elementary school we use to have nuclear war drills where we got under our desk when the alarm sounded. As a smart ass 6th grader I used to joke about how silly it was to think that a desk could protect you from a nuclear blast. My running joke was, "In case of an atomic bomb detonating over you; get down on your knees, get under your desk, put your head between your legs, and kiss your sweet ass goodbye."😅 It really was a different time. I remember going shopping with my mother and seeing air raid shelter signs on buildings in the down town area of Miami. Every Saturday, at 12 noon the air raid siren would go off. You could hear it miles away. I think James Bond provided some escape from the nuttiness.
It really was the start of the action adventure film genre. Prior to this, the only movies that had stunts and fight scenes were war movies and westerns.
It was called "Duck and cover" and I also went thru them in elementary school in the 60's. It wasn't meant to protect from an overhead detonation, but to protect yourself from schrapnel from the shock wave. Nothing would protect from an overhead detonation.
Coby is by far the prettiest of all the female RUclips reaction channels. Glad you are enjoying the classic Bond films. Please watch them all in the order of release.
My favorite Bond actor is Timothy Dalton. Can’t wait to see your reaction to his performance and films.
Cheers.
The Mustang, an early 65 (also dubbed a 64 and 1/2) in the movie is the first Mustang to appear on film.
Well, thank you, Inna, for saying nice crowd, as I was part of the audience and it was a great experience and the atmosphere was amazing. I'd already seen INXS twice before and I of those times was when they supported Queen at Wembley in 1986 in london
That suit is absolutely stunning 27:20. Right up there with Cary Grant's in "North By Northwest"
Coby, you picked the best James Bond movie in the whole franchise. I was a James Bond fan from highschool until Sean Connery was replaced. Call me old fashioned ( I am 77) but there will never be another 007 other than Connery. Love all your reactions, you guys are the best.😊❤
Best Bond,best Bond movie.Just call me Bob..James Bob.
Goldfinger was no doubt the best Bond movie in the Sean Connery Era.
Hottake: I like From Russia with Love WAY more than Goldfinger.
I prefer Dr No but the living daylights has long been my favourite
Goldfinger is probably the most iconic bond film and the point the franchise exploded... but not the best for me.....
Love your commentary and your love for the original 007 :)
Thank you kindly!
@@criminalcontent You’re welcome. keep up the awesome work.
Goldfingers plane flies into Baltimore-Washington International Airport. It's now called Thurgood Marshall International Airport. As a Baltimore native it always seems strange hearing the new name.
In my head canon, I imagine a group of "weird" teenagers making a home movie around the same time Goldfinger and crew arrive at the airport. They include a skinny kid with a pencil mustache and his chunky friend dressed in drag. No doubt upon seeing them disembark, the former said, "what a bunch of freaks." With more than a little bit of droll self-awareness, of course.
Pink Flamingos aren't just for Florida...
I like it that you do older movies like Bond and Hitchcock. It's some really interesting nostalgia trips. And very different ways of doing movies, and it's interesting to see how the craft has evolved over the decades. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The first two Bond films but especially this Blockbuster started the Spy Craze on US television in the 60's. There was The Man from UNCLE, I Spy, Mission Impossible and even Mel Brooks got into it with Get Smart. I remember as a kid I had a toy Spy Briefcase that had a lot of the gadgets in it like Bond had in the 2nd movie.
The only time I’ve ever believed Bond’s life was in danger is when he boarded a JetStar plane
Very enjoyable watch along and some of your realisations of certain scenes and characters was very endearing indeed. See you on the next one Coby.
From a technical and writing perspective, I'm not putting this ahead of From Russia With Love, but it's the movie that really launched the series and has all the iconography and formula that would stay relatively in tact over the course of the series. It has some of the most memorable moments and lines as well. As a kid I probably liked it more than I do now, but I still enjoy it. Connery is a lot more comfortable in the role and a lot more detached as a result. His reaction to finding the girl covered in gold paint is tepid at best.
Sean Connery can't do emotion very well. OHMSS would have been very different if he was starring in it.
I was stationed at Fort KNox twice, I took Basic Training and AIT there, and I served my last year in the Army back at Ft. Knox. The gold depository is really close to the PX (the Army version of a department store) Those street names are true.
Great Reaction.
Honor Blackman who played Ms Galore broke the mold in England as she was the first Female detective to share equal billing with her male counterpart in "The Avengers" 1962 and it all came about because the lines were written for a male actor(Ian Hendry) whp appeared in the first series but he pulled out, at the last minute for the second series as, ironically, he was asked to be in a Bond film and they did not have time to re-write the lines. The wondrous Honor was superb and all the other Women that followed her, notably, Diana Rigg, benefitted from her pathing the way:).
In fact,I think,she left to star in this very film...LOL
And Diana Rigg later became the only woman Bond ever married in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE,the only George Lazenby Bond film in 1969.
@@alangould1465 Yes,Thanks,Alan..
Great reaction. My personal fav of the Sean Connery Bond is Thunderball. But I do like all of his Bond films.
Connery is the best bond.
Fun fact:
The depository at Ft. Knox really is on Gold Vault Rd., just off Bullion Blvd.
Finally, the film with the Midas Touch!
_Goldfinger_ is maybe my favorite Bond film ( _Casino Royale_ is it's strongest competition) as well as one of my favorite films of all time! Glad to see you checking it out at last!
Good choices. I also like The Living Daylights, but several others come close.
@@dtz1000 _The Living Daylights_ is like 006th or 007th in my personal ranking of the series.
The first Bond film to be a huge hit in the US. It kicked off the spy craze of the 60s. Studios were all trying to start their own super spy franchise. Including the Derek Flint films starring James Coburn(which are lots of fun) and the Matt Helm films starring Dean Martin (which are a weird mix of action, comedy, and musical interludes). The TV networks aired all sorts of spy shows. Including The Man from UNCLE, Mission: Impossible, I Spy, Get Smart, and my favorite, Wild Wild West. All sorts of spy themed toys and merchandise (I had two versions of Bond's Aston Martin, one battery operated and one diecast). You could even get 007 cologne and deodorant (You too can smell like Bond!)
Goldfinger established a lot of the tropes that became part of the Bond formula in films to come. Including a pre-credits mini-adventure (Roger Moore will perfect this), a Bond girl with a double entendre for a name, a henchmen with a gimmick, one last attempt to kill Bond by the villain or henchmen (though From Russia With Love did this as well), the gadget filled car (usually an Aston Martin, sometimes a BMW, and the most impressive being a Lotus).
Most of these Bond knockoffs were really comedic parodies. They knew they didn't stand a chance to compete with 007 and so they did not take themselves seriously. Goldfinger also started the trope of the Bond girl sacrificial victim with Jill and Tilly. If Dr. No was filmed later, the character of Miss Taro would've been killed off.
Tania Mallet played Tilly while Shirley Eaton played Jill. Eaton had a long string of screen credits, often playing eye candy in British comedy films like 'The Naked Truth,' various 'Carry On...' and 'Doctor in the House' type films, Mallet doesn't seem to have been in anything else.
Skin suffocation isn't a real thing BTW, though Ian Fleming seems to have believed it was, writing this death into the original novel. But there is a risk of heat exhaustion or an allergic reaction, so apparently they had doctors on the shoot, just in case.
FUN FACT: Tania Mallet was considered for the role of Tatiana Romanova in FRWL because the actress was half Russian. However she’s been rejected because of her English accent
Great reactions from Coby, to this superb Connery Bond movie.
To quote Goldmember: " I LOVE Gold! " :)
Gert Frobe (Goldinger) had his voice dubbed for the entire film.
One of my favourite Bond films, a real classic.
Sean Connery stars in another favourite film of mine released in 1964 co-starring with the gorgeous Tippi Hedren, Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie. Didn't get favourable reviews at the time, but now seen as one of Hitchcock's last great movies. Worthy of a reaction too, the ending always has me crying buckets! 😭 In fact as I typed this and reminded myself of the final scene, I started crying. That's how good it is! 👍
That explosive material in the beginning is actually the most realistic part of the movie, its called plastic explosives or putty explosives
Great reaction, Coby! In the final scene when the plane is crashing, you can make out on the radar screen how it indicates that Bond and Galore are parachuting from the plane. I think you just missed this, but it kinda shows that the couple didn’t die in the crash just before we catch them on the ground. Looking forward to your Thunderball reaction, which is my favorite Bond movie.
Thunderball is the next Connery film. You should consider watching, “ On Her Majesty’s Secret Service “. With all of its perceived flaws, many Bond fans and film critics list it as the best overall film in the series.
Definitely watch them in order. The first 6 movies in chronological order build a lot on each other and make for a very good viewing experience. Things get a bit rockier after there.
@@Pikachu132 great point 👍.
Good call on Dr. No. Underrated classic, and yes the Jamaican backdrop is fantastic
Absolutely my favorite reaction channel now!!
Wow, thanks!
Watch Ashleigh Burton's reactions to the Bond movies. Even better than this.
Harold Sakata (Oddjob) was a wrestler, and has become one of the most memorable henchmen of the franchise. 🎩
As, indeed,was " The Miighty Chang" a very tall, bald, oriental Guy in The 1960's...:)
I would go further and say that Oddjob is the single most memorable henchman in the history of the movies.
@@richardzinns5676I think Jaws has him beat, though. He's the only henchman who was brought back for a second movie, after all.
@@Yngvarfo But I hardly think that counts against Oddjob, who after all was killed in Goldfinger, following the plot of the novel. Jaws was invented for the movies, and could be re-used at will.
@@richardzinns5676 True, but most people only know the movies, and my guess is that Jaws is more widely remembered than Oddjob. Not by much, maybe, but aside from being in more movies, he has a more memorable appearance, and the manner of killing is even more memorable.
The scene with Oddjob crushing the golf ball? I crack up every time!😆😆😆
Rick Beato does a real good breakdown of the Bond theme song.
The music during the laser scene is great, its so tense.
It's great that you still find Dr. No your favourite Bond movie of that era (so far), as It shows that you're comfortable with slower paced older movies. For that reason I think you'll really enjoy Thunderball, which is directed by the same guy that did Dr. No, and has a similar vibe (but much better in my humble opinion).
Her favourite movie choices are so bad. I have never heard of anyone preferring Dr No to Goldfinger. But I do like her reactions. Only Ashleigh Burton has better reactions.
@@dtz1000 They're not bad, they're subjective. Big difference!
"Dr. No" had the best Bond girl.
I prefer From Russia with Love out of all Connery's films, but I can absolutely understand why someone would prefer Dr. No. This series got a bit hokey, absurd and increasingly tongue in cheek as it went on, but Dr. No came before most of that.
Now that we've reached the point in the franchise where all of its hallmarks have been established, I think she's probably not going to enjoy the series as much from here on out. (She's already rolling her eyes at some of the one liners and character names.) If so, then it's only a matter of time before asshole commenters start yelling at her for not being as enthused about these movies as they are, at which point she'll probably stop reacting to these movies.
Personally, I'd be fine with her reacting to just the Connery films and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, then skipping the Moore era and going straight into Timothy Dalton's films since they're a bit more serious in tone.
@@SirHilaryManfat I just think she doesn't really care about these movies. Watching these is a pay check for her at the end of the day.
The golf club is Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire, England. It was used as the location for 2 Bond movies - Goldfinger & Tomorrow Never Dies.
That Mustang may have been one of the first produced. It was a 65 model, but as a promotional gimmick released it prior to their other models. It's routinely referred to as a 1964 1/2 Mustang.
I went to the same church as Austin Willis (Goldfinger's gin opponent) and got to know him a little before his death.
Hi, my lovely Coby ❤
I'm not joking one bit when I say that the golf scene in Goldfinger is one of my favorite moments in all 25 movies. I love his caddy so much.
"If that's his ball, then I'm Arnold Palmer." 😊
It’s funny because in the book his caddy is the one who knew that it wasn’t his ball and not bond.
@@CHRISTOPHER-1793-z9e The caddy, Hawker was played by the great character actor Gerry Duggan.
I saw this movie when I was 4 years old.
Drive in theater.
Mom & dad up front. I was supposed to be asleep the the back of the family station wagon.
In 1964 a factory fresh DB5 would set you back nearly $13,000.
Today the same car in pristine condition would fetch about $1.3 million.
Aston Martin did that special updated edition that the Top Gear guys had on and that one is 10 million quid.
that Austin Martin had all the features that was in popular 80's video game SpyHunter
I can't wait for your AUSTIN POWER reactions! 🤞✌️
I thought she had already seen them as she was talking about Goldmember.
God bless Coby for having EXACTLY the right response when 007 dismisses poor Tink with a smack on her can at the beginning of the movie.
Dink.
It’s a shame Ian Fleming died before his creation really took off with this film. 🥀🍸
11:41 I always found the most shocking thing about this movies is that Colonel Smither’s actor was only 37 or 38 while filming Goldfinger. I never would have guessed he wasn’t in his 50s.
I recall seeing a documentary about Dr. No where they intentionally made flying an aspect of the movie as it was expensive and rare form of travel. It helped the escapism aspect of the movies.
Did you notice the time left on the atomic bomb, "007" seconds. You have been watching the Bond movies in order so the next one should be Thunderball. It came out in 1965.
Did you notice her expression? She did!
Did you know in the first week of cinema release it actually said “003” ? If you listen to the dialogue he says 3 more ticks ! The shot was changed to “007” when it was pointed out to Cubby he’d missed a trick. The dialogue wasn’t changed though.
Hi Coby, love your content and glad you showed one of my favourite movies, let alone Bond films I’ve seen and nowadays I’m not a movie guy, I wish we could just go back to the old days of the 80’s and 90’s where movies, TV and music was much better than today’s standard. Can’t wait for the next one👍.
"Run along, Dink. Man talk."
(Slaps her on the ass)
About the only thing that makes me laugh more than that moment (which a critic once described as "breathtakingly sexist", which pretty much nails it) is watching younger generations trying to process exactly what the hell they just saw. You just know that off camera Connery probably had occasion to bust that out once or twice.
It's meant to be playful and "in character" but some people can't seem to understand
Considering Bond is about to discuss an operation and the woman is the hotel masseuse and known to him on a first name basis it is perfectly appropriate that he send her on her way. They are about to discuss CIA and British Intelligence business. In fact it's "breathtakingly apt". The critic probably had an F- in critical thinking and an A+ in Feminist interpretation of everything.
@@terrortorn Uh huh. You're kind of burying the lede there by framing it simply as "Bond sends her on her way" while overlooking *how* he does it. "Breathtakingly apt" it ain't, but sure, keep telling yourself it's everyone else's lack of critical thinking skills that's the problem and not your dogshit opinions.
@@terrortorn I mean, obviously, Bond had to send her on her way. But the ass-patting was a bit self-indulgent... :p
@@jrneal1220 You mean a bit friendly, as they had obviously befriended each other beforehand.
*"many people have tried to involve themselves in my affairs Mister Bond"* near perfect score 😊
Coby love your reactions, the Pussy Galore mistake was so funny and adorable but the impressive thing was you can fly a plane Wow.
I burst into laughter, when Coby decided to call Galore's squadron "The Flying Pussies". 😂
Austin Powers is indeed a spoof of Bond, but also of other British "swinger" and "mod" types of the 60s, such as the photographer played by David Hemmings in the movie "Blowup"
It's not stated but clearly Oddjob has borderline superhuman strength.
It's just superhuman. Believe the crushing a golfball thing was tested (by Mythbusters or someone). Requires orders of magnitude more force than any human is capable of exerting with their hands.
I could take him!
And finally, 46:38 the demise of Oddjob actually severely burnt Horold Sakata’s hand. When the pyrotechnics went off, the director was meant to say “cut,” but sadly the cut shout was delayed, or not heard by Sakata, so he did what he was asked to do…..he held on to the hat too long and hence burned his hand. Real pro our Harold!
As a kid of 9 or 10, the fight scene in From Russia With Love, the train fight, and this sequence had an immense effect on me. It made me want to work in the film industry, alas never to be realised, but it forged a life long love affair with Bond. The good ones, the bad ones, and some of the Roger Moore indifferent ones. Until that is, a certain Daniel Craig rekindled the old fashioned joy of those early Bond Films.
I really liked the fight scene in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in the hotel room early in the movie. For the late 60's I thot that looked rather real.
Coby, while you were talking through the end credits, they said, "the end of Goldfinger, but James Bond will be back in, Thunderball", so that would be the next one to watch.
Did you notice the product placement in the movie? Except for the Aston Martin and the Rolls Royce, all the other cars were new Fords, even the Lincoln being crushed.
Out of curiosity, I went on IMDB and looked up the actress P*ssy Galore, (oops, I mean, HONOR BLACKMAN 😉), and found out she was in the Avengers before Diana Rigg. Speaking of Diana Rigg, she will be a Bond Girl a few movies down the road. Her character and James have a couple of things happen between them, but you'll just have to wait and see what that is...
More James Bond yes! love these classic Bond reactions
Pussy Galore is still and by far one of the most famous Bond girls. Absolutely different than Honey Ryder and Tatiana Romanova.
44:40 "Moooon, riiiiver" :) You aren't the only one. Brillant story. Anthony Newley won the Oscar for Goldfinger, and ran into the man he had just beaten going into the toilet, Henry Mancini. Mancini congradulated him and asked where he came up with the melody. Newley just shruged, said thank you and shook hands while Mancini threw him a little two finger salute and winked. Newley was washing his hands and humming started singing Moon River in the mirror, and blurted an "d'oh fuck" in realization. Mancini won for Moon River the year previous. It was a coincidence, just that Mancini thought it hilarious.
Coby is such a fun reactor for these Connery Bonds!! I love a reactor who appreciates all things 60s! (And I'm Class of '87!)
The next 'Bond' film, "Thunderball" is an excellent one as well, you might as well do all the Connery ones at least, but I'd suggest that you react to them all.
