One of the greatest movie scenes of all time, you don’t have to be a golfer to appreciate it! What a beautiful golf course love the birds in the background
I was a greenkeeper at Stoke Poges (now Stoke Park) in the early 80's when the course looked quite similar to how it was in the movie. It is shot over the last three holes. The golf swing of Gert Frobe was actually a man called Ray Knock, a local artisan member and very good at golf. He won the national artisan championship a couple of times but died in the seventies.
As I said: the greatest Bond, greatest Bond Villain, greatest Bond henchman, the greatest Bond score, greatest Bond theme song, the greatest Bond girl, greatest Bond movie title, and the greatest Bond movie
Interesting point. Live and let die is a great Bond song and probably the only Bond song that really had a life of its own outside the Bond universe. But musically speaking it is not a Bond song, at least deviates too far from the typical elements of a Bond song. Goldfinger is the ultimate Bond song. It is the archetype of a Bond song. So... I have to go with Goldfinger. @@kovan1975
I hear that Connery and the actor who played Goldfinger became fast friends during the shooting of the film and did a lot of golfing during the their off time.
I noticed that. I have used how do you do as a greeting but I have slipped in recent years. Actually, alright mate existed back then. These days it’s “yo”.
David Woods Gert Frobe who played Goldfinger was German and spoke very little English. His lines were dubbed by British actor Michael Collins although a few times in the movie Frobe was speaking himself.
A year or two after this movie was made, I got to be friends with Oddjob's real-life nephew. Oddjob's wrestling name was Tosh Togo. He was actually Japanese American, not Korean.
You people should understand that this scene built the James Bond character and world....the atmosphere...the zeitgeist....more than any other scene in the early movies.
This movie is so well made. I love how the script writers clearly play golf in the way that Goldfinger and Bond keep talking just before the swing to try and psych each other out.
Lol I like how he said that golf is not yet the national game of Korea 😂 and now the Koreans dominate the LPGA. Also some of the best of both men’s tours are Korean.
Thinking about it, is the reason Goldfinger missed the putt because there was suddenly a 25-odd pound metal block on the green that warped the ground around it?
The gold bar dropped at around 1:18 would have weighed close to thirty pounds and left a large dent in the freshly mowed/manicured green. Nor could Mr Bond have had it in his pocket during the game. In his bag? Possibly. Although the sheer weight wouldn't have been appreciated by his caddy. And I can't see the caddy handing anything to Mr Bond prior to the bar being dropped opposite Goldfinger's short putt. Dropping the gold bar considered a violation of Golf etiquette. You never want to distract your opponent.
I once won a bet - What was the serial number on the bar of gold wagered by James Bond in the golf match with Goldfinger?" Somehow 7190 stuck in my mind when I saw it. Still a good trivia question for Bond movie fans.
golf, a sport where subterfuge and gamesmanship, are nearly as important as ball striking and course management. It’s something that comes into play in the cash games at the local courses quite frequently.
Obscure Entertainment he is not friends with Trump but Connery loves to play Golf and he is living in the Bahamas with his wife and has been for years.
Ian Flemming said he took the Goldfinger character and famous line "No, Mr. Bond, I want you to die" from a golfing buddy. Ian tried to pick up his ball and take a penalty. The buddy said, "No, Mr Flemming, I want you to play the lie!"
0:45; 'Golf is not yet the national game of Korea, hey?', probably is now: dominate the ladies game and a few handy male players over the years as well.
The church across the river is used in Roger Moore's For Your Eyes Only in the pre credits. It is also the graveyard where Thomas gray wrote his "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard: including the inspiration al line "The paths of glory lead but to the grave" This is used by Kubrick in his film. "Paths of Glory" Aldus Huxley's Brave New World also refers to Stoke Poges Golf course.
You never pick your opponents ball out of the hole!!! The switch would never happen in real life! Also you don't leave you ball in the hole when your opponent is putting!
You can tell how old this is when Goldfinger says “Golf is not yet the national game of Korea”, considering how many top golfers they have produced in the last 20 years.
True story. Gary Player's caddie, Rabbit Dyer did the same thing Odd Job did and dropped another ball when Player lost his ball near the 18th green at Royal and Lytham at St Anne's at the Open in the 1960's. Player won the Open, but rumors have it the Players lost ball is in the members' clubhouse, off limits to the general public.

At 4:43, was Sean Connery supposed go first?
Marc Haring How does it look now? Did you see the statue with missing head? Haha..
If only he shot in the 60's, he'd still be around.
Thanks, fun stuff
Golf double, voice entirely dubbed... Gert Frobe didn't do much for his paycheck!
RIP Sean Connery, died this morning aged 90 :( this is still the greatest golf scene in movie history :)
Goodamn he is welldressed and iconic!! Love that style.
I like how he apparantly change to a more casual look with a shirt and sweater for the golf, only to switch back to jacket and tie after the game.
0:36 that music sting when he sees Oddjob...completely without irony, and it works. They don't make movies like this anymore.
Nor would they include a golf scene!
What do you mean without irony?
No; Oddjob would be African-American and Goldfinger would be flaming.
@@chuckcap6878 Oddjob would be South African, Goldfinger would have some kind of bone disease.
...haha...golf is not the national game of Korea...LOL...
The golf seen is my favorite seen in any Bond Movie no gimmicks or special effects just good writing
scene
Yes. Good writing good acting and all set in an English golf course
Back in the day when story was more important than CGI
agree...but but they did use a double for Goldfinger...when hitting golfshots
As I said: the greatest Bond, greatest Bond Villain, greatest Bond henchman, the greatest Bond score, greatest Bond theme song, the greatest Bond girl, greatest Bond movie title, and the greatest Bond movie
And the greatest car - by a light year.
I cannot disagree with a single point you are making. Yes, yes and yes. That movie is immensely re-watchable.
Diana Rigg, for me.
Live and let die theme song for me

The actors name is Gerd Fröbe from germany.
Funny, when I was a kid I thought Goldfinger was fat. Now he looks smaller than most people here in Sweden. :P
He would look anorexic in the states
You can't call Goldfinger fat, that's fat shaming, more correct to say "the colour of his hair makes him look unfairly large"
he isnt even fluffy
Most people are more fat than homer Simpson
Inane
And a few years later golf is massive in Korea...
And at my golf dome for the driving range! Almost 90% Koreans now.
At 3:43---"If that's his original ball, I'm Arnold Palmer". RIP Mr. Palmer, 9-25-2016

Well, they wouldn't let a POS like Obama in the club, except to shine shoes.
@@chuckcap6878 Ah yes casual racism on youtube, on a three year old comment, nothing ever changes.
Who was Arnold Palmer?
@@CBfrmcardiff One of the most famous pro golfers of all time. He won 62 PGA Tours.

He played before the movie regularly. Was a single digit handicap too.
Sean is a member at Pine Valley in Clementon, NJ, regarded universally as the #1 golf course in the world.

Well played, sir
" The bar of gold you have with you, Mr. Bond. But it's worth £ 5000....Oh I will stake the cash equivalent, naturally." Fantastic.
1964: How do you do?

Was just thinking that. People say awwwwwriiiigggghhhttt?????? These days
I noticed that. I have used how do you do as a greeting but I have slipped in recent years. Actually, alright mate existed back then. These days it’s “yo”.

Love how Cold War this is. Man has a funny accent and cheats at golf - must be evil haha
I read somewhere that he only says one line in the movie and the others were dubbed in
I read that in the trailer it's his own voice when he says "Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond, it may be your last."
+Declan Sheehan Uncannily he spoke that in really good English.

The man actually doing the hitting as Goldfinger has a top, top class swing.
Rumour has it Goldfinger is Boris Johnson’s long lost uncle
He does look a bit like him! 😂😂😂
love Goldfingers reaction at the end!
3:24 "Ha-ha!" The almost only one of Oddjob's spoken lines in the whole movie. (The other one is "Aaaaah!" when he gets hit by electricity later.) xD
Connery rocking the fedora, I approve.
sonicmank Trilby
Ilove GoldFinger what a classic i watch it as kid Sean was the best Bond of all times
That moment when you realize Bond played 16 holes of golf with a gold bar somewhere on his person...
you can see at 1:30 that the caddy had the Gold Bar
No. He made his caddy carry that heavy bar in the golf bag for all 18 holes. He sure deserved a big tip from Bond at the end of the day.
Is that a gold bar in your Johnny Millers or are you just glad to see me?
The legend John Barry.
I thinker Hawker, Bond's caddy, had carried the gold bar in Bond's golf bag...
You people should understand that this scene built the James Bond character and world....the atmosphere...the zeitgeist....more than any other scene in the early movies.
You're absolutely right there.
"you people"... Who in the fuck are you calling "you people"?
Huh maybe, Dr. No was the definitive Fleming book.
I'd like to buy that bar of gold for "five thousand pounds".
When you realize how well-dressed Mr. Bond is in this clip with his shaved face and perfect haircut, you'll are just WT!
I love the ending when Bond just looks around after Goldfinger throws his ball in rage
Einer der besten Bond Filme , ein nur klasse 😊
A gold bar that size would weigh about 20 pounds! And here Goldfinger thought that Bond was just excited to play golf with him.
o, no, it was 5000lbs!

Did I really watch these in 240p in my childhood?!
I read that Sean Connery carried a 4 handicap during his best days as a golfer . Not too shabby .
Idk what the handicap thing is but I heard he was a single digit handicap idk if that’s better or worse than 4
@@tylercox18754 handicap is a single digit. It means you're pretty good. Not a professional, but not far off.
Let's have a little bit fun with Mr. Goldfinger!
"Strict rules of golf?" That moment Goldfinger screws himself royally.
This movie is so well made. I love how the script writers clearly play golf in the way that Goldfinger and Bond keep talking just before the swing to try and psych each other out.
Lol I like how he said that golf is not yet the national game of Korea 😂 and now the Koreans dominate the LPGA. Also some of the best of both men’s tours are Korean.
I wonder what Bond tipped his caddy that day! Connery was a very frugal Scotsman!
Best of all the Bond movies ❗️
Thinking about it, is the reason Goldfinger missed the putt because there was suddenly a 25-odd pound metal block on the green that warped the ground around it?
Watched this scene more times than I can remember. Only now do I wonder where bond was keeping that 27 lbs. gold bar he tosses. In his pocket?
It was in the golf bag that Felix is carrying
My mother took me to movies as a kid early in the 60's. I saw every Bond film when it was Sean Connery.
Fleming literally wrote about 40 passionate pages describing this game. Bond in the book was a lot more angry at times ("Shades...please; Goldfinger")
I think of Robert Shaw in The Sting when I see this scene.. "what was I supposed to do call him out for being a better cheat?"
Sean Sack bamfstyle.com/2014/08/08/thesting-robertshaw-suit1/
Casually walking around with a 10kg bar of gold in his trouser pocket...where does he buy his belts?🤣😂🤣
"it seems I am too good for you!"
love that

And I can't see the caddy handing anything to Mr Bond prior to the bar being dropped opposite Goldfinger's short putt. Dropping the gold bar considered a violation of Golf etiquette. You never want to distract your opponent.
I'd say Goldfinger was quite happy to see it.
It's a movie!
Damn Mr. Bond looks 1000x twice better than his opponent...

Golf is like a domina - you pay a lot of cash to be humbled
Oh my, is that the yr it was shown in theaters here in phils? 1964 I was an 8yr old kiddie, we watched it so enjoyable!
5:01 golf ball still hanging around after goldfinger's swing.😂
Goldfinger reaction is priceless. Like how the fuck dare he!?
As a golfer, I cry a little on the inside when he throws the gold bar on the green
Carl Nicola lol I know right? Like damn that divot has my heart pounding
Even more upsetting is it's no longer a golf course 😢
Why? It wasn't on his putt line. Okay, the divot - good job the marshall wasn't near
Keep your eye on the ball on the tee after Goldfinger's last drive. He missed the ball but it suddenly disappears off the tee. Funny.
Yes, I noticed that too. The special FX guy was a few frames late in removing the ball that was matted in.
Moral of this story is: when playing golf, always check your balls 👍
James Bond should play goff with Trump.
Apparently Sean Connery is good friends with Trump and they both play golf together.

Something about the line "Golf is not yet the national sport of Korea" while laughing.
Love the loaded pauses and silent shots here. Plenty of room to let the stakes build.
"The Sting" --- "what was I supposed to do accuse him of cheating better then me ? "

As soon as I heard that "golf is not the national game of Korea" I burst out laughing. It is now! So glad you caught that too.;-)
@@johndennissf you know this line got the Korean pretty mad back then. "oh yeah? We'll show you" and the rest is history as they say.

Yup. Si Woo Kim, a South Korean, just won the 2017 Players Championship.

GOSH! I LOVE BOND. No gadgets nor gals. His wit, charms and INTELLIGENCE to play along with egotistical maniac Goldfinger.
I love Goldfinger he was such a gold junky.
Just noticed the additional product placement at 0:25 Go Slazenger!
As a non golfer, I'm curious. When Auric says "strict rules of golf", I can't see what Bond does that's any different?
There is a magic in the early Bond films which is missing in the later ones. May be it is just nostalgia.
What does this symbol mean on the gold bar? It almost looks like a Reichs Eagle.

Brick of pure gold that big in the bag would break the caddie´s spine. But legendary scene from the best Bond movie anyway :-).

Golf is not yet the national game of Korea... I bet it is now with all of those brilliant female players.
Doesn't even show him hand crushing the golf ball at the end.............
ironic how he mentions that golf is not the national sport of Korea
Fatty Kim banned it
They produce a hell of a lot of good golfers. Their women dominate the LPGA tour
Goldfinger was German with little or no English. His voice is dubbed all through the film. Who'd have thought.
That’s Trumps grandpa, Goldfinger
At 5:00 I reckon that's not Gert Fröbe, the actor playing Goldfinger. That's Harry Bradshaw, the swing is unmistakable.
I didn't know Stoke Park Club posted this video. How does the club look today compared to this film?
So he had that massive gold bar in his pocket....?!
