Blofeld's trap for Calvin: Watching the 1967 Casino Royale re-edited by the guy who did Quantum Of Solace whilst listening to the Goldfinger theme in a room full of double-taking pigeons.
I think the reason people like the Goldfinger song so much is how much it personifies gold... I mean think about it; it's bold, in your face, exciting, beautiful and dangerous in a sort of cold, blunt sense. the high pitch winds backing it up are almost... seductive, for lack of a better word. Yes it is incredibly loud, but think about if you could open a door to a vault filled with billions and billions of dollars of shimmering gold bullion... If you could take the emotion you would feel that first moment you looked inside and translate it to a sound, it would be the first 30 seconds or so of that song.
"Ejector seat? You must be joking!" "I NEVER joke about my work 007!" That's my favourite Bond exchange to quote out loud. Yeah, he's cross because he stole GF's woman and then GF stole her back. I think what a lot of commentators miss is that things like this are hardly a positive take on men. Cinema audiences were finally introduced to the "laser".
Calvin doesn't like the Goldfinger song and requires ear muffs to listen to it....and that goes against the mainstream view...and, natch, Bond hates the Beatles and requires ear muffs to listen to them. Synchronicity.
Funnily enough, the Bank of England guy that Bond and M have dinner with is the same actor who hassles The Beatles in the train during the beginning of A Hard Day's Night
he does not use her as a human shield, rather he lets the assasin to hit her because he knows that she is on one hand with the assasing, meaning she is the bad one.
@@johnstrawb3521 no? Human shield just means that you’re using a living person to block attacks against you. Whether or not they’re innocent or guilty is irrelevant.
Really, Calvin? That song bothers you? It's a classic Bond theme song I had ever heard. I can hear this melody tune while I was walking through the streets.
what he doesnt like is how loud they used it in the movie and how loud they recorded it.... thats why he hates the song.... its the kiss of death.... from Mr. GOLDFINGEAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! WHAAAA WAAA WOWOAAAAARARAAA! Hes the man ... the man with the golden gun............. dadundaundadadundundundun dundadudaa .... in ... the ... sun!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I’m in the world of Calvin Dyson. Binging your videos today. Big fan! I love the Bond community, the positivity, camaraderie, and overall awesomeness!
I am waiting to hear Cal comment on Connery's absolute gorgeous maleness, but maybe he's just not Cal's type. Connery was a good 50% of the sensation of the series: he spoke well, he moved like a panther, he looked believable making love or war, and he did have just enough eyebrow for for a bit of sardonic humour. Connery was the bomb.
Great movie, one of my favorite in the series. It has everything, great plot, awesome villain, wonderful Bond girl, epic henchman. There is nothing I don't like about this film.
Interesting take on the Goldfinger theme. I'm among the large majority that likes it. Specifically for me, some of it has to do with the swagger, all too apt for a gold-obsessed criminal mastermind. But what sells it is the instrumentation, which is much easier to pick up in karaoke versions. And in the best ones, at least if one fills in the voice, it can sound like three melodies at once... even what one might consider the harmony. The muted trumpet's sassy brassy accompaniment to Bassey adds a deliciously jazzy touch, while the strings can lend a strangely melancholy touch for compelling contrast. John Barry knew his stuff, and he was genius at smashing any number of genres together into smashing-good adventuring music. It's like he took Mack the Knife and, especially with the instrumentation, lent it an unabashedly Romantic aspect.
lol -- I always took Bond's weird smile and delivery in the car with Tilly to just be a "This situation is so silly: I know your BSing, and you know I know you're BSing, yet we're gonna keep on as if everything's kosher." xD
I disagree, I love it when Bond songs go extravagant, as long as it sounds powerful and impactful. It sounds intense and seductive like you can feel the absolute lust of gold itself.
" I suppose she'll be warm for a few hours more" Brilliant Calvin and the Wacky Races theme during the car chase has made me start to see my number one Bond movie in a different light. On a more serious note i rate this as my number one for reasons which i know have been given by many other fans over the years. This was Connery at his best as with Moore it took three movies before he really settled into the role.
"He looks like he's genuinely nervous and anxious about this!" That's NOT acting, Cal. Underneath the table, there sits a man with an acetylene blowtorch. One false move, and Sean Connery would have ended up with "two fried eggs."
Back then each Bond film had a major and unique theme, I'm not talking about music, plus one or two sub-motifs. Thus each entry stood out distinctly from the others. Goldfinger was the gilded Bond movie with spectacular action that took place just a few blocks over from where you live. Also, compared to nowadays, the films were made with an appealing sort of minimalism.
My dear Calvin, I would have thought you’d mention the fact that the girl we see, in the pre-title sequence of Goldfinger, whose eyes reveal the presence of the heavy played by stuntman Alf Joint, is in fact Nadja Regin who also play’s Kerim Bay’s girlfriend in From Russia With Love! But whatever! You do mention a lot of other fascinating information! And I do love your reviews, so please carry on!
That’s hilarious because after I watched gold finger a few years ago I immediately looked the song up on TH-cam and listened to it on loop for 2 hours 😆 also when is it loud?
Say all you want about the theme song, I happen to love does deep brass noises in the song. Once again, I think this song somewhat signifies a James Bond theme.
OK, one more thing before I stop bothering this video....Bond is pissed off about Jill's death because he's pissed off with himself for letting it happen. Bond let his guard down, became too flippant with Goldfinger and Jill paid the price. Aki's death was an accident; the poison was meant for Bond but she copped it instead by a twist of fate as they were both sleeping.
great reviews man. i always enjoy hearing different perspectives on all bond films. i've watched most of the bond reviews on youtube and along with yours, i have learned to appreciate some films even more and entirely change my opinion of certain films. thanks.
Calvin, I understand and forgive you for not liking the theme song. It is music style of an earlier time. The theme song and sequence I imagine is probably one of the last parts completed, so it can capture the tone of the completed movie, (no back-up for this, just my own logic). This movie was the biggest Bond movie yet made at the time, so they were looking for the “biggest” theme song! “Goldfinger” was definitely the biggest, loudest, brassiest of all, making it Bombastic to your ears. For us older fans Goldfinger is a classic.
I remember when I watched this how weird it was that no comment was made about the giant gash in the side of Tilly's car. Oh well guess a double blowout is just too rare to ignore.
Why didn´t Oddjobs hat decapitate Tilly when it did that with the statue? Funny when the hat flew long way from the statue, but then landed precisely under the statue. Is this Aston Martin supposed to be the same car in Thunderball and then in the Craig movies too? How many times can the same car be destroyed, but still come back totally in great shape again? Goldfinger says the best line in any of the Bond movies, even better than any Bond ever said. "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!". Gert Fröbe did the best role of all the Bond movies and he was even cooler than Bond, yes, even Connerys Bond too.
Calvin - I'm no golf expert, but I think the reason why Goldfinger doesn't putt again after missing is because he and Bond are playing matchplay rather than strokeplay, so Goldfinger's miss means that he loses the hole (he can't better Bond's score). I think this is right! Great review, I love the Connery impression? :D Any idea when you might get round to doing a review of Johnny English?
Such a great vid Calvin!! Found myself laughing at so many points!! I agree with what you said and some great impersonations!! That air announcers voice!! Haha!! Will you be doing a review of the more current Bond games?
At 11:35 I think Bond is acting funny because he knows she's lying and wants her to know he knows. Obviously he recognises the case as one for a hunting rifle not a pair of ice skates. LOLing over your impression though - keep up the good work!
I think in that opening scene it is implied that she is in on the attack so I don't really think using her as a human shield was an un-bondly thing to do.
I don't like the Goldfinger theme either. Goldfinger, even as a kid, was not a favorite Bond of mine in general. It's too slow for me and nothing particularly "interesting" happens to me. Maybe it's because I don't consider the locations or plot as interesting, but it's my least favorite of the Connery's. However, your video was entertaining as hell as always and I'm glad I recently found ya! :)
The Gold-paint suffocation scene is Iconic but it makes no sense. Can you even suffocate because of Painted skin? Even if you can, why didn’t the victim simply wipe some of the paint off? And if she was stunned and made unconscious first, how did they paint her exactly? They need to paint the whole skin, that is the point, right? Stomach-side too, not just the back, right? So, wouldnt the paint smudge the sheets (and wear off her stomach?) if she is lying down? Of all the ridiculous things in bond movies this is no less ridiculous. But it is such a cool scene, people just seem to accept it.
In the DVD commentary of Goldfinger it is said, that the establishing shot of London somewhat matches the one of Miami and I'm like "so it's like poetry, it rhymes" .. damn Star Wars Prequels. Also, Oddjob is so insensitive. Okay, he knocks out Bond and lets Jill Masterson suffocate in gold paint - one might consider that behavior as quite disrespectful towards their health - but he also leaves the refrigerator door open - as if he didn't care for the environment.
Nah I don't hate you for not liking this on, Calvin. To each their own. Even if I don't agree with most of your opinions. But this particular one I do understand. Yeah it can be a bit grading sometimes. Even I gotta admit that. I think it's the one of the best in the collection though but it can be a bit annoying.
I think that Bond taking a shot at the Beatles is meant to show that he is a man who appreciates things vintage and classical. He really wouldn't think much of the then new, hip culture.
Even though I was only ten years old when I first this movie... I always felt that Bond's total carelessness in just plain stupid! First of all intentionally doing something to annoy a madman is just plain dumb. Then hanging around after that ( knowing Goldfinger is going to want revenge and he has a staff of cut throats that work for him) is also very stupid. Common sense would have told Bond "You and the girl are now on Goldfinger's hit list" You and the girl are NOT safe in this room. Goldfinger knows exactly where you are and he is coming to get you!!!! Don't you get it!!!!! Inside of me I was screaming "Get out of there Bond and take the Girl with you. Her life is in mortal danger!!!!! If he was smart he should have fled with the girl as far from there as possible. And when they stop to rest at a far off location... Bond should make sure to carefully lock all doors and windows and block the door with furniture so that Odd Job has to make a lot of noise to get in. Plus Bond should keep the lights off. This way if Odd Job can't see where Bond is in the room until his eyes can adjust to the darkness. However, Bond will see him first since the door is the only way in. While Odd Job is busy breaking down the door Bond will be able to fire numerous shots at Odd Job thus killing him!!!! If Odd Job turns on a flash light it will illuminate his own location long before he find where to point it to Bond's location in the room. Bond would have a nicely illuminated target to shoot at!!! Ha! Ha! Bond now could kill Odd Job with great ease. I would have enjoyed seeing Odd Job die like that because that would have made sense!!!
Hey Calvin, Once your done re-reviewing Dr. No - Thunderball could you re-review the Timothy Dalton films for 3 reasons, 1. Your opinion on The Living Daylights seems more positive on your movie ranking then it did on your My Weekly Bond: The Living Daylights Review video. 2. Licence To Kill is now EXTREMLY more positive in your opinion. 3. I think you now like Timothy Dalton MUCH more than you use to.
Blofeld's trap for Calvin: Watching the 1967 Casino Royale re-edited by the guy who did Quantum Of Solace whilst listening to the Goldfinger theme in a room full of double-taking pigeons.
Rushy excuse me but are *YOU* blofeld
k thats cool but how about also including the asianing of all of the bonds
Acted out by George Lazenby
Actually, that re-edit might be an improvement...
And every Line in the Movie is replaced with "finish it James"
In the novel, Goldfinger was a resident of the UK but he was born and raised in Riga, Latvia.
I think the reason people like the Goldfinger song so much is how much it personifies gold... I mean think about it; it's bold, in your face, exciting, beautiful and dangerous in a sort of cold, blunt sense. the high pitch winds backing it up are almost... seductive, for lack of a better word.

If you could take the emotion you would feel that first moment you looked inside and translate it to a sound, it would be the first 30 seconds or so of that song.
Alternatively, people just like the tune.
"Ejector seat? You must be joking!"
"I NEVER joke about my work 007!"
That's my favourite Bond exchange to quote out loud.
Yeah, he's cross because he stole GF's woman and then GF stole her back. I think what a lot of commentators miss is that things like this are hardly a positive take on men.

This was pre-Revolver Beatles though, when screeching girls liked them. So I can forgive Bond's quip.
@@vordman Hell, this would have been pre- A Hard Day's Night era.
Funnily enough, the Bank of England guy that Bond and M have dinner with is the same actor who hassles The Beatles in the train during the beginning of A Hard Day's Night
😂😂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The Goldfinger theme is catchy as hell: GAAAULFINGAHH
The Oddjob Hitchcock joke killed me xDD
Aitor Molina GAULFINGAHHHH
he does not use her as a human shield, rather he lets the assasin to hit her because he knows that she is on one hand with the assasing, meaning she is the bad one.
Using someone to block an attack is literally using them as a human shield, though?
@@Cybermat47 indirectly maybe yes. Either way, what does it matter, she was his enemy.
@@Cybermat47 No, as that completely contradicts the meaning of "human shield," which is to hide behind innocent life.
@@johnstrawb3521 no? Human shield just means that you’re using a living person to block attacks against you. Whether or not they’re innocent or guilty is irrelevant.
RIP Sean Connery
He will always be the best Bond to me
"If that's his original ball then I'm Arnold Palmer."
Really, Calvin? That song bothers you? It's a classic Bond theme song I had ever heard. I can hear this melody tune while I was walking through the streets.

In the book, Goldfinger emigrated to England, gaining British citizenship. Bond presumed that he was a Balt.
“I suppose she’ll be warm for a few hours more” 😂🤟
Great movie, one of my favorite in the series. It has everything, great plot, awesome villain, wonderful Bond girl, epic henchman. There is nothing I don't like about this film.
Don’t forget the cool cars!
IMO , TB & OHMSS dere just as good , actually think OHMSS is better than GF

Calvin - Why are the reviews of YOLT and OHMSS set to private?
8:38 imagine missing a shot that easy
lol -- I always took Bond's weird smile and delivery in the car with Tilly to just be a "This situation is so silly: I know your BSing, and you know I know you're BSing, yet we're gonna keep on as if everything's kosher." xD
The Goldfinger theme does make an excellent alarm though
Goldfinger...English naturalised citizen. It's in the novel.
Loved the musical nod to Hitchcock

the caddy is played by Gerry Duggan and he has actually done a few films but mostly tv shows
true though about the reason Bond was pissed off about that girl being suffocated with gold.

how der you say that about the Goldfinger theme song Calvin!
Der? Really? DER?
That’s hilarious because after I watched gold finger a few years ago I immediately looked the song up on TH-cam and listened to it on loop for 2 hours 😆 also when is it loud?
Clearly you need to listen to heavy metal to condition your ears.
I'm working on a review series, and I'll be doing Bond reviews in the future. You have been an inspiration. You're making Ian Fleming cry with pride.
Say all you want about the theme song, I happen to love does deep brass noises in the song. Once again, I think this song somewhat signifies a James Bond theme.
"There's still time !" You killed me
OK, one more thing before I stop bothering this video....Bond is pissed off about Jill's death because he's pissed off with himself for letting it happen. Bond let his guard down, became too flippant with Goldfinger and Jill paid the price. Aki's death was an accident; the poison was meant for Bond but she copped it instead by a twist of fate as they were both sleeping.
As always intelligent observations, constructive criticism and well edited and funny too. Nice one Mr D!
When Bond gets out of the water at the start of the film he is in a dry suit, not a wet suit. That is why the tux is not wet.
One of the best in the series
great reviews man. i always enjoy hearing different perspectives on all bond films. i've watched most of the bond reviews on youtube and along with yours, i have learned to appreciate some films even more and entirely change my opinion of certain films. thanks.
what came first? Goldfinger`s Rolls-Royce or Speed Racer`s train-car?
...Goldfinger is too loud?
*THUNDERBALL IS JUST AS LOU- NO, THUNDERBALL IS LOUDER THEN GOLDFINGER!!!*
Calvin, I understand and forgive you for not liking the theme song. It is music style of an earlier time.

Ahahah that oddjob hitchcock joke is really funny
This is why my family has banned me from taking my fake bar of nazi gold on our mini-golf games.
What happened to the Thunderball review?
I remember when I watched this how weird it was that no comment was made about the giant gash in the side of Tilly's car. Oh well guess a double blowout is just too rare to ignore.
Connery was a legit awesome golfer. Love that scene.
Thanks for the Wacky Races music! Hilarious!
Have you heard the version of Goldfinger sung by Anthony Newly? If so, what are your thoughts on it?
Can you please review you only live twice and on her majesty's secret service ????????
5:19 that slap was so brutal it simply knocked Bond out
I loved CinemaSins' comment about the Beatles line: "Jesus, Bond, why can't you just Live and Let Die?"
Wacky Racers and James Bond: _My Childhood in a Nutshell_
I used to live in Miami, and I have been to the hotel used in goldfinger, and it has changed a lot.
also, before Sharon Jones died, I went to one of her concert, and she performed the goldfinger theme, and it was beautiful.
6:56 Fun fact: The guy sitting next to Bond also appears in A Hard Day's Night (the man that rides the train regularly, twice a week).
Why didn´t Oddjobs hat decapitate Tilly when it did that with the statue? Funny when the hat flew long way from the statue, but then landed precisely under the statue. Is this Aston Martin supposed to be the same car in Thunderball and then in the Craig movies too? How many times can the same car be destroyed, but still come back totally in great shape again?

Great Re-review!
Margaret Thatcher must have been an airport announcer before getting into politics! ;)
I think in that opening scene it is implied that she is in on the attack so I don't really think using her as a human shield was an un-bondly thing to do.
When will the Everything or Nothing Review come out?
BTW Big fan of your videos. you have truly inspired me to be a fan of Bond.
Thsnks to this review, I now question your taste in music. At least you have that in common with Bond.
the human shield woman was a villain about to help killing him, so, no problem here...how many women Bond killed troughout the series?
i do agree that the goldfinger song is so loud it hurts.
the bit with the caddy his name is hawker me and my friends used to do the same thing drop bits of his dialogue into conversations ha
I don't like the Goldfinger theme either. Goldfinger, even as a kid, was not a favorite Bond of mine in general. It's too slow for me and nothing particularly "interesting" happens to me.

Yeah it can be a bit grading sometimes. Even I gotta admit that. I think it's the one of the best in the collection though but it can be a bit annoying.
John Barry's soundtrack is the most cohesive ever in a thriller....cinema was never the same after.
"Goaaaad fingaarrr-arr!"
RIP Margaret Nolan aka Dink
Wow! Thank you very much! The Bond reviews won't be for a while, but the series itself is a Bond parody- 00Sci-Fi. :P
Bond's DB5 makes an appearance in GTA 5.
I think that Bond taking a shot at the Beatles is meant to show that he is a man who appreciates things vintage and classical. He really wouldn't think much of the then new, hip culture.
Only bad people fervently claim to be "not a bad person!"
the gold hidden in the car or ´´as the car`` reminds me of Speed Racer
How Old Are You Calvin
The actor who played Goldfinger, Gert Frobe, was German
I lost it at 11:43, hysterics got the better of me xD
Even though I was only ten years old when I first this movie... I always felt that Bond's total carelessness in just plain stupid!
First of all intentionally doing something to annoy a madman is just plain dumb. Then hanging around after that ( knowing Goldfinger is going to want revenge and he has a staff of cut throats that work for him) is also very stupid. Common sense would have told Bond "You and the girl are now on Goldfinger's hit list" You and the girl are NOT safe in this room.

Ha! Ha! Bond now could kill Odd Job with great ease. I would have enjoyed seeing Odd Job die like that because that would have made sense!!!
5:27 why insert Hitchcock🤔
We have the same ipod
GOLDFINGERS THEME IS AMAZING OMG UR BANANAS
If a car doesn't go off a cliff and explode, is it REALLY a Bond film?
5:24 that guy was probably a Beatles fan
I never noticed the fake backgrounds in Miami. Perhaps the girls might be the reason? :D
Back in 1964, people actually thought you take oxygen in through your skin follicles for some reason.
I find it very strange that Tilly wasn't the Bond-girl as she is perfecty set-up as it!
Also I think Connery was anxious at the classic scene because there was a guy with a blowtorch lying underneath. His balls could have caught fire!
You are easily one of my favourite reviewers. However, Austin Powers has asked me to make you give his mojo back.
Hey Calvin,
Once your done re-reviewing Dr. No - Thunderball could you re-review the Timothy Dalton films for 3 reasons,
1. Your opinion on The Living Daylights seems more positive on your movie ranking then it did on your My Weekly Bond: The Living Daylights Review video.
2. Licence To Kill is now EXTREMLY more positive in your opinion.
3. I think you now like Timothy Dalton MUCH more than you use to.
6:47 Actually Calvin.... I do think it's BOTH..... 0 0 7
If this is the best bond film that’s really sad
Ralph Fiennes is new Bernard Lee's M in the reboot after #23.
you forgot the granny with the machine gun
