I think it’d be an interesting idea to do an updated Goldfinger review for the anniversary!
He's just done a big Goldfinger chat with that weird Yank lad, it's enough already
He also has his the world is not enough in depth review to do.
@@lucasoheyze4597is that Zaritsky your on about? 😂
@@thesecondloneranger4458 yes I hope he does that first, then a Goldfinger review😇
I don't think I've ever heard the word fornication be used so often in such little time😂
The Army waited until Goldfinger arrived because it wanted to secure the atomic bomb. The day before, Goldfinger told Bond if something went wrong, the bomb could be detonated elsewhere.
"If the authorities should attemp to locate it, who knows where it may be exploded...Cape Kennedy...near the White House...but we are speculating idly."
I love the fact that bond tried to defuse the bomb but is stopped from setting it off by the expert
'You can't see any blood on 'er' that voice over cracked me up 😂
Yeah, I lost it with that line
I feel like you’ve changed for the better since then. You’re so much jollier and happier these days.
Jollier, and much cuter now.
Praying for “Yer can’t see any blood on er!” to become a new channel meme🤞🏻
(Fellow northerner here)
Oddly, the Wacky Races bit actually works pretty well even with no editing.
Though young Calvin did miss the reason for waiting till Goldfinger was at Fort Knox, Felix's team don't act till they get confirmation the bomb is present, they want to capture the rogue nuke.
NGL, I kinda miss these old videos. Twas a much simpler time on TH-cam.
Although this must be an early, EARLY "Goldfinger" review because I don't really remember most of it.
2013 is when he uploaded it.
“ that’s our dashing hero, using a woman as a human shield, but she’s evil, so who cares” 😂😂
I am embarrassed because I made a comment under the clip of that scene expressing sympathy for the woman, not realising she was evil
A double dose of Calvin and Goldfinger for Easter!!
18:07 true...... but sadly the less said the better these days since 2018. I apologise Calvin for bringing it up, but thanks as always, all the best.
it's considered polite to actually age as you get older - you appear to have only simply shortened your haircut. However I'll forgive this lapse due to all the solid content you make.
Dorian grey had a painting Calvin has his old videos
PLEASE do one of you reacting to your recent Goldfinger breakdown!! Although it might be a bit longer since it was a two parter but I'm HERE for it for the 60th!!! :)
Awesome look back Calvin. I think during its anniversary year an updated Goldfinger review would be splendid.
2010's BBC Radio 4 adaption of Goldfinger had a great cast including 'Die Another Day' alumni Toby Stephens [Bond] and Rosamund Pike [with an American accent as Pussy Galore] but also featuring Tom Hollander, Ian Ogilvy. Tim Piggot-Smith [who had small parts in Johnny English and Quantum of Solace] and best of all Ian McKellen as Goldfinger. It's a faithful adaption of Fleming's book so had the whole 'Goldfinger gets Bond to be his secretary' plot line which Goldfinger admits was a stupid idea at the end!
I’m so excited for this one. I remember watching these when they first came out. You’ve changed so much, but these are still so entertaining
The Goldfinger theme is my ringtone, it's great for getting your attention.
Dude! That Thunderball ending was brilliant!
I have never understood people who take down old videos. Heck in this instance those videos were iconic nostalgic videos from my middle school years… 😢
It is fun for us to see the progression just of the presentation. Being a "fan-boy " is fine for the time when you produced it. We all grow and change.
These reaction videos of yours are so hilarious! Please keep doing these! 🤩
Wonderful to see young Calvin back again. He's absolutely right though. This is ultimate Bond. Everything is here, and Connery's at his peak. It might be 60 years old, but it's still one of the best. The Northern accent still creases me up, and already looking forward to the next one. As I've said previously, I still watch the previous shows, as he still cracks me up. Keep him coming.
Ah, I remember watching these during my uni days when my swear jar was on tap 😂 what's with us young student selves and swearing 😅
I wouldn't feel bad about these Calvin. You were still learning and they do have a nostalgic charm to them. Honestly, I am currently working on two scripts for my own youtube videos and I am going to dread recording and editing phase as I hate looking at me or the sound of my own voice 😂
And I am still bating for the Northern accent team don't yer worrying lad. I describe mine as a male Dianne Morgan 😂
Interestingly, I discovered you around the time I was watching the Nostalgia Critic (if you heard of him) and was finding some other nostalgia critic like reviewers. Were you at all inspired by him in any way? As much as I cringe watching some of his vids now I think he definitely was a youtube cultural impact and inspired a lot of movie related content creators.
Such a fun video look back. Was wondering if you ever shared what you keep in the book case behind you. Would make for an interesting video - unless you have done that already. What looks like an encyclopedia of Bond films and then of course the other books and memorabilia items. Very cool actually.
The way you cringe at your younger self hahaha. So relatable. 🍸
Pierce Brosnan recently signed up to a new spy movie [Stephen Soderbergh's 'Black Bag'] along side Naomie Harris! [it also is due to feature Cate Blanchette and Micheal Fassbender]. Pierce also has recently endorsed Cillian Murphy and Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Bond rather than advocate for himself to be rehired so that ship [which was always a long shot] has almost certainly sailed.
Was there ever an actual possibility Brosnan was gonna come back? I can't see that ever happening. Connery coming back for DAF was a fluke, one and done thing that only happened because Lazenby quit and OHMSS wasn't well received. Plus it had only been four years since Connery last played Bond while it's been over 20 since Brosnan did Die Another Day.
@@spencerkindra8822 I didn't think it would ever happen-particularly as he'd stated 'my time was my time' a few years ago and he's now in his 70's [given Roger at 58 is the oldest Bond] but it was something a lot of fans wanted to see as show by the reaction to Calvin discussing the possibility in 2022 in the sense of 'giving him a better ending' [and echoed by a couple of the comments on the recent Aaron Taylor-Johnson video] in the style of recent legacy sequels [Like 'Star Trek Picard', Top Gun Maverick or Spiderman No Way Home] but I personally feel 'The November Man' from 2014 was pretty much his epilogue already [un-officially] and as you say it would be pretty unprecedented for the series [as would bringing him back as M or another role].
@@jamesatkinsonja I get fans wanting to see him come back to play Bond and wrap up his tenure properly but that ship has long sailed. Aside from Craig no other Bond got to properly end their Bonds except maybe Connery. OHMSS ends on the single biggest cliff hanger in all 25 movies, DAF doesn't wrap up anything, and both AVTAK and LTK don't have any sense of finality, at least not on the surface. Brosnan just got unlucky that unlike the other five Bonds, he didn't choose when he hung it up.
@@spencerkindra8822Very true [although Pierce seems to have made peace with it by now]. I guess back in the day the films were more self contained/in the same continuity unlike now where were used to a beginning and ending for the character/actor but as you say there isn't any real 'loose ends' for Pierce's films [and I suspect it would only be something like Samantha Bond in a cameo for 'returning' supporting cast]. It's similar to how some die hard's still want a 3rd Dalton film when the time for that was in the early to mid-90's, rather than now when he's in his late 70's.
@@jamesatkinsonja Dalton coming back is even more of a stretch. Brosnan is 70, Dalton is 78. I think the reason so many fans want a Brosnan legacy sequel is because his tenure was cut short at both ends: he started playing Bond too late and was fired too early.
Wouldnt mind a longer Goldfinger one. Would be a nice break after you do TWINE & Die Anither Day before you jump into the Craig era.
You had a minidisc cam corder??? woooooow they were a thing back in the late 90's and early 2000's so I;m really impressed that you used that while at back in 2010 ;)
8:19 hahahahah exactly what everyone thinks when watching this the first time :)
Calvin, always enjoy your content!
I’d love to see a Goldfinger video where you lean into the more problematic areas. We can still love movies that are flawed. Cheers!
I totally forgot how much you loved it. That was a lot of emotion for 2010ish Calvin lol
A lot of unbridled enthusiasm and positivity for a 2010s Calvin for sure!
@@calvindyson it’s crazy how different your videos are now. I wonder what those videos would be like if it wasn’t the norm to be a little more vulgar and critical back at that time
I remember those early days of TH-cam when copyright wasn't a big problem compared to nowadays. I remember I used to watch episodes of Dinosaurs on old TH-cam
Happy Easter, Calvin!
Happy Easter to you too, Andrew!
Thanks!
Nice one Calvin. Think you have some of the best Bond reviews on TH-cam. This, being my favourite Bond movie too. Be good if you did a 60th anniversary review? Hope you're having a good Easter :)
Love all your videos Calvin ...you bring so much humour to them and fantastic knowledge
I'mwaiting for the reaction to your reaction of your review
Gold woman in tyhe thumbnail is Magaret Nolan, her son lives above my house flat with my sister, Maggie was a real character in real life, she died a week after Sean Connery.
It’s always a toss up between this and YOLT for me. Connery IS Bond.🏴
The Daily Mail ran an article today 'Next Bond film could be a remake' which felt like 10+ clickbait articles rolled into one-all quoting 'an insider' and little detail [like not saying which film would be remade...], including saying it 'might have old villains back', might involve Denis Villeneuve and Zendaya [from the current massive hit Dune 2] or Sydney Sweeney [current rising star and like Zendaya in 'Euphoria'], might be more like Brosnan's film and hilariously 'they have a haircut in mind for Aaron Taylor-Johnson'!
'Coincidently', Aaron Taylor-Johnson's wife Sam's next film-the Amy Winehouse biopic 'Back to Black' is out soon. She seemed to admit that the rumours were helpful saying [ tongue in cheek] 'does that mean I'm directing the next Bond!'.
Did The Mail drop all the posits from their Bond Rumour Dartboard onto a scanner and make an article? If they can't settle on one 'news exclusive' then I think it's fair none of it is news. It could be anything might be the takeaway here. Sam Taylor Johnson could be a decent pick to direct Bond, but I did like her cheeky implication of nepotism getting her the gig.
Trivia the actor playing Mr solo was in an episode of the professionals with Roger Lloyd Pack who was revoiced by the actor who did largo in thunderball
You should do a anniversary Goldfinger review
As For this one your 2nd Goldfinger reaction would have been better re reaction
I remember reading Roger Lloyd-Pack was part of the cast for the infamous 1998 'The Avengers' but fortunately for him his scenes were deleted when they tried [and failed] to salvage that turkey in editing.
I would love to see you remake the reviews for the first 3 Bond films to see how your thoughts have changed over the years!😊
I like how Calvin kept downgrading his outfit. From full tux, to shirt with bowtie to just a shirt, will he go shirtless next or will he just wear t-shirt?
I would have gone open necked shirt and untied bow tie
Hurray!!! I’ve been looking forward to seeing your reaction to this one, Calvin. I enjoy watching it on the Lost Media wiki page. I’d love to see an updated review on Goldfinger in your current style! It’s the first one I ever saw, and is a close favourite of mine. Happy Easter!
Love The Content Calvin! 🎉
Love this!! Let's go my man!
you could put those old videos in playlist and unlist the videos so only way to view them is through the playlist maybe?
Your videos are so cozy!
Ok I am now officially starting a campaign that in every future video Calvin must introduce himself as Calvin 'You carnt see any bluud on 'er' Dyson.
Hi Calvin wow this I really enjoyed especially watching your reaction to your video so good, happy Easter my dear friend
You need to edit and upload the wacky racers section as its own video
Goldfinger certainly cemented the 'Bond formula' which was used until it finally was deemed past it's sell by date with 2002's 'Die Another Day' 38 years later.
It'd be great if in the next movie, they got back to that. Unless Eon tries to do a Casino Royale or a Dr. No with the new Bond.
@@spencerkindra8822 If I recall part of the reason for retiring it was that the internet/home media had made the formula more obvious [I saw some criticism that last years Mission Impossible was too similar in basic structure to fallout] but it would be interesting if they could bring it [or at least some elements of it] back in a new way [especially as 22 years has passed since it's last use].
@@jamesatkinsonja The Mission Impossible movies work because of Tom Cruise, the plots are secondary haha. I'm more down for a soft reboot like GoldenEye than an origin story like Casino Royale. We don't need to see how Bond became a 00 again. In the next movie they should just drop us into the middle of Bond's career like they did in Dr. No. He's already a womanizing jaded killer who knows his craft and is on a mission to thwart the villain.
Would love to see an updated review of Goldfinger. It's one of my earliest Bond memories waiting for it to be shown on ITV one exciting Sunday night at 7:45pm back in the late 70s (78 I think) when I was 8 and Goldfinger was only 14 😂
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Another great re-review/reflection. (Always makes me smile that the dialogue on these old reviews sound phoned in from a broom-cupboard… not withstanding mini-disc whirring! 😜)
Thank you.
On a side note, I often wonder if one had free reign to make no more than 3 edits, what would one do to improve a specific Bond movie and move it up the ever changing ranking table? e.g. remove the slide whistle in TMWTGG, the Tarzan yell in Octopussy, the invisible car or poor CGI tsunami in DAD.
Could be something for future debate!
I can't wait for your future embarrassed reaction to this embarrassed reaction.
I FKing love this movie! Ok, now lets watch it.
Hi Calvin! I'm a CD collector and recently found the soundtrack to this movie called "The Sting" at my local Goodwill. I bought it because it contains a lot of Scott Joplin songs and when I was a kid I played a lot of Scott Joplin when I was first learning the piano and I oddly remember some random old guy mentioning this movie in passing like two decades ago - so I bought it. Upon further inspection, I noticed the man who scored this film was Marvin Hamlisch - the genius who gave us "Bond '77." I also noticed the main antagonist in the film is Robert Shaw - aka Red Grant. Would love to see you review it, as it's James Bond adjacent, and I enjoyed the film and the soundtrack very much. Also, towards the end of the film, they wear tuxedos and it made me think of how great Paul Newman would have been as James Bond.
Man, rewatching these old reviews actually make me feel old. Like these videos came out in my first year of high school 😂
I love these!
Love me some cheap shot taken at poor ol' Cec Linder xD wait until young Calvin gets to Norman Burton and John Terry if he finds Lord and Linder 'boring'!!! :D
Create a secondary "Archives" channel, remove the old junk from the main channel and tuck the old stuff to the archive?
It's a good thing you began to go over the title sequences in your more modern reviews, because the segment devoted to your thoughts on Goldfinger's title song is one of the funniest things ever.
Calvin: "Ah, time for me to relax with some music."
Radio: "Hello and welcome to BBC Radio Four's film music program. Coming up next is that classic James Bond theme... _Goldfinger."_
Calvin: [makes an 'oh, crap!' face]
*_DUUUUUUUUN DUUUUUUUUN MWAH MWAAAAAAAAAAAAH MWAAAAH~_*
Calvin: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Yes I love that!!
Is an in depth review style video like you did for nightfire or agent under fire in the cards for everything or nothing? I really enjoyed those videos you did they are the best videos made for those games on TH-cam so I’d love to see one for eon.
I'm sure I remember another Goldfinger review that you did, one where you mentioned the jump scare that you get from the cut between "positively shocking," and the opening bars of the title song (I know you mentioned it in your recent review with David Zaritsky, apologies for spelling, David). The northern accent is quite endearing.
I love the film, Goldfinger, even the flaws (especially the flaws, you might say). I've never thought about this before, but one change I'd make to the plot is to have the betrayal of the gangsters as part of the Fort Knox scene. The mob turning up in trucks to take the gold but getting gunned down either by the Chinese or Americans. It would also help to explain M's remark to Marc Ange Draco in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, about how he did well out of, "that gold job in '64," some of Draco's men avoiding the fire-fight and making off with some gold in the ensuing confusion.
There is another Goldfinger review on the channel [in two parts] made about 10 years ago.
You should definitely do an updated, more in depth Goldfinger review. At 18:09 it's funny how you acknowledge how much Doug Walker aka The Nostalgia Critic influenced your old reviews because even though he's hilarious, his jaded attitude doesn't really work for a Bond fan reviewing the Bond movies. Walker is funniest when he's taking the piss out of blockbusters from the 80s and 90s he thinks are overrated. Whereas with you and other pro Bond channels, you actually like the Bond films and don't want to just crap all over them and talk about how much you think they suck haha. That's why, while I enjoyed your old reviews, your recent, more positive ones are way better.
19:21 Yes, please! I'd love a more in depth review in your current "style" for these earlier 007 movies.
Goldfinger is my favourite Bind film! Best theme song as well. 😊
I would love to see a new video review of Goldfinger
Hi! I've never been this early I'm so excited!!!
Can.t wait for the trilogy! Of you reacting to your reacting while reacting to all the reactions...
7:15 I always interpreted that the ball missed the hole because Goldfinger was distracted by the gold bar, not anything to do with weight
A bit chalk and cheese between old and your new Calvin. Enjoyed it nonetheless...
Yeah...you have to do a new review. The old review was pretty amusing. Though I do believe you'll be a tad more scathing this time round. But go for it. Us Bond nerds adore what you do.
Calvin with a potty mouth is funny as fuck bring it back calvin
Your accent really has changed over the years, wacky races has never sound better 😂
I’ve always liked Goldfinger. I’d probably say it’s my favourite Bond film, simply because it has all the things you expect from a Bond film and it does them well. It’s iconic, interesting and a really fun time, although I’m starting to wonder if people are beginning to appreciate it less for whatever reason.
Just a little honourble mention to Dune Part Two currently in cinemas, and Lea Seydoux's performance. She plays a spy, and after her appearance in Bond, its fascinating to see her character at work here. Seydoux of course is French, but here adopts a very effective and wiley English RP accent. Definitely a memorable, commanding and sexy portrayal and while I'd never want James Bond to be played by a woman, I'd love to see a female spy franchise. Tips on how to be do it can be gained from here. Black Widow held promise for this, but spoilers she died. EON'S own The Rhythm Section also sadly barely made anything, after some non-existent marketing and release just before the first Lockdown.
I certainly think Ilsa from Mission Impossible was a strong enough character for her own spin off film/TV series but had a similar fate to Black Widow [and Cruise wasn't keen on spin offs]. Seydoux had a small part as a villain in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol too. There was a lot of love for Paloma in 'No Time to Die' but unfortunately she turned up in Craig's last film [she'd surely have come back if he'd done another].
@@jamesatkinsonja I'd forgotten about Ilsa! Yeah she'd definitely work in her own film. I've read a rumour recently that she may not actually be dead in Dead Reckoning and so may be back in the sequel. Whether this was always planned or is a reaction to fans annoyance at her demise and so quickly. Of course its just a rumour, so I'll take it with a pinch of salt. Yeah I've heard Cruise vetoed a MI spin-off series Paramount Plus wanted to do. But an Ilsa film series would be great and as she usually bumps into Ethan while doing her own mission it'd be plausible to follow what she does off-screen. Cruise can't be playing Ethan for much longer (Dead Reckoning being two parts suggests a finale) so give Rebecca Ferguson her chance.
@@davidjames579 Great points [A lot of fans were certainly upset by her being killed off]. Ilsa did feel like the ideal character to take over the franchise if Ethan retired [certainly more than the plan to give it to Jeremy Renner's Brant after Ghost Protocol]. I've not seen it [and apparently it wasn't great] but I did wonder if Netflix's 'Heart of Stone' started life as an Ilsa spin off in the planning given it's from the same studio as MI [Skydance] and was very much pitched as a 'female lead franchise in the vein of MI' when first announced.
Changing Fleming's plot to radiating the gold just replaces one plot hole with another. What difference does it make if the gold gives off radiation? I'm fairly certain even if the gold changes owner, it doesn't need to travel anywhere
My biggest issue with Goldfinger was always how once Bond is captured he’s just kinda there until it’s time to fight Oddjob.
Compared to FRWL or Thunderball where he’s constantly moving around, exploring, and hunting the mission. The movie is still unbelievable and amazing but that’s always been my issue with the movie that prevents me from placing it over the other Connery films (except NSNA) even in Diamonds I got what I love with him out and about
You might be embarrassed by your old videos but don't forget that they're the videos that got us to subscribe. Maybe make them unlisted and put them into a playlist if you don't feel comfortable with us seeing them randomly?
I remember mini desk
Fun video. So many of my opinions change over time too.
For me, the consensus was that Goldfinger was the greatest Bond movie 20 yrs ago. I believed and went along with that. However I've changed my opinion and Goldfinger is around 10th... And 3rd best if the Connery bonds after Russia and thunderball.
At some point, you should also react to your old reviews of For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy then you will have completed the Roger Moore era!
Yes!!! I need to see those (no rush, obviously)😂
It would be great to have a drink with Calvin Dyson and David Zaritsky and talk about Bond stuff.
Absolutely!
Do reacting to your old Casino Royale review if you did one.
I’m looking forward to your 2039 self reappraising this video and apologising for how this hasn’t aged well by that future year’s standards haha!
Only joking, love these videos!
Sweet, my second favorite Bond movie behind Goldeneye… I guess for me, James Bond has a GOLD standard lol
Moooonrakkkerrr 🎵😂
#DiminishingReturns 😉
By “Northern” you mean Yorkshire and Lancashire, Calvin. Geordies certainly don’t pronounce “stone” as “stuuuuhrn”!! 😂
After reviewing this review of the review of Goldfinger 😉I fully endorse a new review of this movie for two reasons; first, ofcourse, of the anniversary and second because this is in my mind still one of the best Bond movies ever made and because of it's 'blueprint' role for all the other Bond's it deserves another fresh look at it.
Those videos are a time capsule. That’s a good thing. You’ve got the Justin Bieber look, and that’s very much of its time. I love the language, though. Censorship is for children.
Perhaps a name change from Calvin Dyson to Yorkie Bond.
I like this review, bad language and all.
"blüdoʊnna'"
Do you think in 10 years time you'll be reacting to your reaction videos?
In other news, I'm off to see Goldeneye on the big screen at the weekend!
Can you do updated in depth versions of these and can you also do the world is not enough and die another day and casino royale and quantum of solace and skyfall
Presumably there coming up as there the last few 'in order' that haven't been done yet.
15:20 Rule of threes
Yes guy Hamilton is totally the best thing in the series when he fucked up diamonds are forever and man with the golden gun
Do you think odd job would beat jaws in a fight
