My favorite line in "Goldfinger", in retrospect, is when Goldfinger says to Bond, about Oddjob, "He's not a really good caddy, golf is not yet the national sport of Korea." Don't look Auric, but it is now, especially among the women.
One you missed....the name 'Goldfinger' was actually taken from the British-Hungarian brutalist architect, Ernő Goldfinger. Fleming came across an example of his work on Willow Road in Hampstead, and was so appalled and hated it so much, he found out the architect's name and decided to use it for a Bond villain.
‘Goldfinger’ was the first Bond film I saw when I was 12 years old in 1965. I was instantly hooked! ‘Goldfinger” and ‘Thunderball’ are tied as my favorite James Bond films. No disrespect to the other actors who portrayed James Bond but Sean Connery is far and away the best IMO. He was the perfect blend of a suave British Gentleman and man of action. Whoever made the decision to cast Connery in the role really nailed it! I also thought the Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig did commendable acting jobs as JB but no one can measure up to Sir Sean in my book.
Our B-17 (N809Z) from Intermountain Aviation is the aircraft that picks up bond in the end of Thunderball, it was done in one take. I worked on that plane in the early sixties, while testing the system. Mr. Robert Fulton Jr. designed and tested the system at Marana Air Park, outside of Tucson.
@bdflatlander It was Cubby Broccoli who chose Sean Connery to play the part of James Bond. However, his first choice was Roger Moore, but he was too busy in a TV series playing "The Saint" at the time. Ian Fleming didn't like Cubby Broccoli's decision to choose Sean Connery; he wanted someone with a more English accent, unlike Connery's Scottish accent.
bdflatlander Connery looked like he could win a physical fight. He started off as a body builder. Of course in the 50s body builders looked much differently than they did a couple of decades later. They didn't find one that fit the tough guy role as well until Craig.
When I was seven years old, I couldn’t find any friends to go to the theater with, so I went by myself and paid the $.25 to get into the air conditioner theater in Texas. From the very beginning of the screen credits I was totally mesmerized And enthralled. When it came to scene where she says her name is pussy everyone in the theater started to laugh so laughed too. However, I didn’t understand what was so funny about a woman that was referred as a cat. Later on, I asked my older brother why everybody laughed at that. Then he started to inform me of the slang and the facts of life and i went Ohhhhhhh. Anyway, whenever I see this film or video snippets, it brings me back to the summer of Goldfinger. Afterwards, me and a friend were secret agents in a little Texas town, saving the world . Really a wonderful memory..
Which Texas town?? We're from Shiner, TX, and we also lived at Needville, TX SW of Houston. Summer of '65 my Dad had just graduated from high school, and was working on the farm with my Granddad. His best friend was a year older and lived across the road. He had rented a 20 acre field at the other end of our farm and borrowed a couple hundred dollars from the bank to put in a cotton crop. He used his Dad's equipment, and bought his own seed and fertilizer and stuff. In August he picked the cotton with his Dad's one row cotton picker, had it ginned off, and sold the cotton and cottonseed. He made enough to pay his Dad for using his equipment, the fuel he burned, paid off the bank, paid the land rent, and STILL had enough left over to buy a brand spanking new 1965 Ford F-100 pickup truck, plus had money to live on over the winter and put in another crop the next year! He and Dad drove to see Goldfinger at the theater in Rosenberg the day after he bought his new truck. Dad said he and his buddy riding through town in a brand new pickup to go see Goldfinger-- they felt like KINGS... this was back when you could actually make some money in farming, and before everything was STUPID expensive and you have to go into hock for a lifetime to do anything... back in the good old days!!
@@lukestrawwalker The town was Alvin, Texas, Home of Nolan Ryan. A small town south of Houston a little bit north west of Galveston now it’s becoming like part of Houston and losing it small town feel, I still live close by in Missouri city Texas. I’m familiar with Shiner. I had a great uncle who lived in Hallettsville who had a quail farm. we are all descended from my great great grandfather an Irishman, who came and settled Yoakam Texas during the potato famine around 1840 and acquired quite a bit of land. I have a photo of him with his confederate uniform with his shotgun and six shooter, but I don’t think he was a fighter because the confederates sent him to Nixon Texas to guard horses from the Comanches while the civil war was going on. I asked my mom one time if my grandfather had so much land where is my one acre. My mom told me land goes pretty quick when each generation has 10 to 12 children So, you’ll find a lot of hickeys in that area of Texas.
Frobe was an excellent actor. The Fritz Lang film "The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse" is a good example. I think a stiff German accent would have made Goldfinger even more ominous.
GERT hid a Jewish mother and son on Nazi Germany risking his own life! He eaa also on Berliner Balade and Orson Welles 1955 masterpiece Mister Arkadin also called Confidential Report, too!
As others have pointed out, BJB is Dr No, in response to Trench. Sylvia Trench. Bond's car of choice would be his Blower Bentley, seen in FRWL. Llewelyn's first appearance is FRWL but Q is also in DN. Goldfinger's plan is different, but also, insane. He has a nuclear bomb, he doesn't need to get it INTO Fort Knox. Unless you count Sylvia Trench herself, and that is debatable, Pussy Galore is the very first innuendo based name in JB. So, there's no history of them when the film went for certification. GF also has a character called 'Mei Lei' which is never commented on at all. POTUS Can absolutely visit Fort Knox. If he wants, he can take a shit on the bars. He's the CiC. Shirley wasn't nude. She's meant to be, in character, but she isn't. Need a bit longer cooking.
The "bomb was small, but particularly dirty". It was a "salted bomb", a nuclear bomb with a cobalt casing, designed to create particularly strongly radioactive long-half-life isotopes in the fallout. Incidentally, a bomb with a GOLD casing is just as bad if not worse, because the radioactive isotope of gold produced is strongly radioactive with a long half-life...
Interesting video. Gert Frobe and Sean Connery were both in The Longest Day which came out a couple of years before Goldfinger. Gert Frobe played the king of Vulgaria in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which was the only book Ian Fleming wrote for children. Shirley Bassey also sang the theme songs for Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had many other connections with Goldfinger in addition to being written by Fleming and Gert Frobe. It also featured Desmond Llewellyn (Q) as the scrap man and obviously a car with many gadgets. The funniest fact in the film is that Dick Van Dyke was 42 and Lionel Jeffries who played his father was actually just 38 when the film was made!
Oddjob was a henchman. Typically, people use the term villain to be the Big Baddie like Auric Goldfinger or Max Zorin versus their underling like Oddjob, Jaws or Mayday.
Oddjob's death is, I think, the most iconic death in all of the Bond films. Also the Laser between Bond's legs, was one of the most tense moments in film until Quentin Tarantino filmed the cop being tortured in Reservoir Dogs and Mia's resurrection in Pulp Fiction. Both of those had my skin crawling...
Went down the rabbit hole on Fleming... thought it was amazing that he got the name James Bond from the author of a book about Birds that Fleming had around his Jamaican home. Turned out to be an American scientist/writer, who actually found themselves in Jamaica in 1956, and dropped by to say hello to Flemming. They had a ball, and Fleming signed a copy of his latest book, for the REAL James Bond. He died 6 months later. Wonder where that the book is now...
"From Russia with Love" had a similar title sequence. The main difference was that the theme music was instrumental instead of vocal. (The vocal version of the song was heard at the end of the movie.)
Goldfinger was not the first Bond movie with the title sequence headlined by an original song - Matt Monroe sang "From Russia With Love" for that film...
Monro did not sing it under the title sequence, which is instrumental only. He sang it under the end titles. So, the creator of this video is actually correct.
Goldfinger was NOT the first 007 movie with the phrase, “Bond, James Bond”. The first movie in which that occurred is when Sean Connery stated it in “Dr. No”, to Sylvia Trench at the Baccarat table.
Pussy Galore introduces herself to James Bond, who replies "I must be dreaming." The original script had Bond replying "I know you are, but what's your name?"
Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse wrote The Song Goldfinger. I’ve heard Newleys Demo tape they already had all the lyrics and basic melody,Barry shaped it and orchestrated it perfectly and took co-written credit but really it was the original composition of Newley and Bricusse.
@@ScratchGlass9 And Ceasar Romero is the joker, although Heath Ledger is a decent redeux; Burgess Meredith is the Penguin; and, Frank Gorshin is the Riddler!
My mom, dad, sister, and I were watching this in the '70s. When the lady pilots exited their planes wearing the black body suits, my dad (a pilot in WWII) said, "Now that's my kind of Air Force!" I felt so bad for Mom. "Geez, Dad! Have some respect for your wife and your kids..." Nothing happened then, but I'm sure he got an earful later... On an episode of The Avengers after Emma Peel arrived, John Steed gets a Christmas postcard from Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman) who sent it from Kentucky. Nice tribute there! The scene is on the Internet Machine somewhere. Log-in to your dial-up account on Compuserve or Prodigy and you'll find it in about eight hours.🤣
Gert Frobes actual voice can her heard in just one single scene where Bond in seen hiding beneath the fort know model listening to Gold-finger revealing his plot to the mafia crims
Goldfinger fact - Although the producers were denied access to Fort Knox, they did however, receive a letter congratulating them on a very accurate depiction of the interior. Believe it, or not.
The Original DB5 From goldfinger was not sold at auction . as it was stolen in the 1983 and has never been fond or seen since though some people have clamed to have seen it in Texas, Dubi ,and even in Hongkong . yet none of the sighting have ever been proven .
Actually, Bond nearly got a Jag. Aston Martin were rather more keen on SELLING a couple of the new DB5, than letting the film producers loose on them. Eventually, it was negotiated for AM to supply a couple of preproduction models for the film. Obviously, they weren't in the BEST mechanical health, and in the scene where Bond and the villains were belting around Pinewood Studios in the dark, the AM was running on only 3 of its 6 cylinders a lot of the time!
Also, I think he's wrong saying Goldfinger had the first specially written theme tune. This would have been From Russia With Love, with a theme song sung by Matt Monro. I won't be watching the other videos in this series. You need to do better.
Another factoid... Sean Connery was never in the US for any of the filming including the Miami hotel (you can tell that the long shot background was a green screen or was added later) and Fort Knox...
Two references from the book. JM was supposed to have been killed by suffocation by not leaving a gap at the base of the spine. This is fiction of course, but it can't be good for your skin for any length of time. Probably would make you overheat first. The second is that JB apparently "cured" PG of being a lesbian.
Sorry, I had to stop watching after you said "Goldfinger" introduced the catch-phrase "Bond, James Bond" while showing a clip from "Dr. No" where he said it. What else did you get wrong?
I don't think the word "Pussy" was in common usage in the UK in those days, apart from the connection with cats ! So that might not be as big a problem as you might have thought. 🙂
Sherly Eaton was not completely covered in gold paint as it would off killed her ,only her back, legs and face wore painted a large section of her front was left unpainted to allow her skin to breath also she wasn't completely naked she wore a small pare off breaths which were also painted over , you need to get your fact strait .
Yeah not exactly '15 things you didn't know', but at least he didn't repeat the often repeated claim (thankfully he mentions that was debunked many years ago), that Shirley Eaton DID die because of the paint!😂😂😂😉
There is no original ideas or content in this video. Everything mentioned has been said a hundred times before. "15 things we didn't know"?! Ha, ha! Click bait nonsense.
@@Scoobied77 Hello, I'm German and therefore quite familiar with Gert Fröbe as I've got several of his German movies on DVD and also know him well from his appearances on German TV. By the time Fröbe filmed 'CCBB', that is four years after 'Goldfinger'', he had already greatly improved his English speaking skills. So it is actually Fröbe himself, who is speaking ( and singing !) the role of Baron Bomburst. He even spoke some lines in German in the movie ! ("Ich könnte dich fressen, meine süße Zuckerpuppe !" - "i could eat you up, my sweet sugar doll!", before he starts singing :"You're my little choochy face !" ) He wasn't dubbed at all in this movie ! It was all his voice, and, as said, he did even sing the part. Also this episode of the movie is set in some fantasy kingdom somewhere in Middle Europe, so his German accent was no particular hinder for this role, on the contrary, it matched the role perfectly. Other British movies, where he spoke with his own voice, are "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flyin' Machines" (1964) and "Triple Cross" (1966) for instance.
Thanks for that. But here is one thing which YOU apparently never knew about Goldfinger; the pronunciation is Gold/fing-Ger, not Gold/fing-er. Listen to the song/dialogue. No need to thank me.😀
Factual errors,obvious statements and facts known already by most Bond afficiandos does not count as 15 things you didn't know. Clickbait and a waste of everyone's time...
Nonsense!😡😡😡😡 To get such a clearly and widely known "Bond... James Bond" WRONG (it bowed in Dr. NO) lowers your respect level immediately. That is just plain idiotic.
sadly the goldfinger wonan died because of the paint job. what a great idea though about haking a car out of gold to smuggle out of a country "WOULD BE GREAT TODAY!
The plot of Goldfinger was riddled with nonsense:- As an example, in the scene with the gangsters, the one who didn't want to take part was driven away, shot and the car crushed. Pointless. And then, all the gangsters who were interested in taking part stayed behind and were gassed. So why invite them there in the first place? Again, pointless.
I've been into Bond all my life. The books and movies both. I love the movie. I like Shirley Bassey as well but the "Goldfinger" theme was awful. Just awful.
I too have been a fan all my life. Goldfinger was my first Bond movie seen in early ‘65 at age 11. I very much like the Goldfinger theme as it is used in instrumental variations throughout the film, but I have never been a fan of the Shirley Bassey theme song.
Dr No introduced the phrase "Bond, James Bond" not Goldfinger.
Ahem, in the first Dr No he used the " Bond, James bond!"
When a videomaker trips over the first item on his list, you've got to wonder about the rest of them.
@@DMBall Agreed, how on Earth could he get that so wrong.
...and then even shows a snippet from the original use in Dr. No!
Yeah I’ve stopped watching after this. Fail
Indeed, at the poker table cigarette in mouth.
One of the best lines ever: "Do you exshpect me to talk?" "Nooo, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

The U.S. has gold reserves at Ft. Knox, but it is borrowed, and a rental interest fee is attached to the gold.
This was the first Bond movie to gross higher than Norman Wisdom's movies of the same times.
#16 Goldfinger met 'Odd job' in Liverpool
#1 007.
Sean Connery.
Enjoyed the video, but like everywhere else these days, the word "iconic" is overused.
Ian Fleming died on August 12, not August 13.
I don't think the word "Pussy" was in common usage in the UK in those days, apart from the connection with cats ! So that might not be as big a problem as you might have thought. 🙂
Sherly Eaton was not completely covered in gold paint as it would off killed her ,only her back, legs and face wore painted a large section of her front was left unpainted to allow her skin to breath also she wasn't completely naked she wore a small pare off breaths which were also painted over , you need to get your fact strait .
skin suffocation is a fallacy she was covered.
Yeah not exactly '15 things you didn't know', but at least he didn't repeat the often repeated claim (thankfully he mentions that was debunked many years ago), that Shirley Eaton DID die because of the paint!😂😂😂😉
The best Bond film was "From Russia, with Love." All the others are comicbook stories.
There is no original ideas or content in this video. Everything mentioned has been said a hundred times before. "15 things we didn't know"?! Ha, ha! Click bait nonsense.
Gert Fröbe did not speak english so he just learned his lines phonetically. Of course he had to be dubbed.
But by WHOM?!!
So chitty chitty bang bang your telling me he never spoke English in that also?

@@Scoobied77 Well, does he have a german accent that makes it almost impossible to understand what he says? If not, probably.

Hello, I'm German and therefore quite familiar with Gert Fröbe as I've got several of his German movies on DVD and also know him well from his appearances on German TV.
By the time Fröbe filmed 'CCBB', that is four years after 'Goldfinger'', he had already greatly improved his English speaking skills.
So it is actually Fröbe himself, who is speaking ( and singing !) the role of Baron Bomburst.
He even spoke some lines in German in the movie ! ("Ich könnte dich fressen, meine süße Zuckerpuppe !" - "i could eat you up, my sweet sugar doll!", before he starts singing :"You're my little choochy face !" )
He wasn't dubbed at all in this movie !
It was all his voice, and, as said, he did even sing the part.
Also this episode of the movie is set in some fantasy kingdom somewhere in Middle Europe, so his German accent was no particular hinder for this role, on the contrary, it matched the role perfectly.
Other British movies, where he spoke with his own voice, are "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flyin' Machines" (1964) and "Triple Cross" (1966) for instance.
#16- 1/2 of FUTURE LED ZEPPELIN played on Shirley Basseys Goldfinger theme song. George Martin producing the vocals
Goldfinger was the first film to have a suggestive given name.
Dr. No had Honey and From Russia From Love had Tatiana. Not particularly suggestive.
Her full name was Honey Ryder so it could have been contrived as something rude!
Our President can go wherever he likes in the USA🇺🇸. But not private land. Fort Knox is Federal
"15 things you never knew" and then proceeds to mention to obvious over and over
During the lasar scene. Bond asked Goldfinger. What do you want from me. Goldfinger replied. I want you to die Mr. Bond.
"So, you expect me to talk?"
"No,Mr Bond! I expect you to DIE!"
It's pronounced Fray - Bee .
No safety glasses when testing the bulletproof trench coat. When Men were Men. Women were sexy. And Gomer Pyle marrying Rock Hudson was in the closet.
Stinky finger vs Ms Galore
Thanks for that. But here is one thing which YOU apparently never knew about Goldfinger; the pronunciation is Gold/fing-Ger, not Gold/fing-er. Listen to the song/dialogue.
No need to thank me.😀
Yes his pronunciation of 'finger' was nearly German. V annoying.
Factual errors,obvious statements and facts known already by most Bond afficiandos does not count as 15 things you didn't know. Clickbait and a waste of everyone's time...
100%
Lost me @ #1 which is obviously wrong!
No respect at all for the defending champs? Just like last year and look what happened 😂
Bond, James Bond. 007. License to kill
Nonsense!😡😡😡😡 To get such a clearly and widely known "Bond... James Bond" WRONG (it bowed in Dr. NO) lowers your respect level immediately. That is just plain idiotic.
😅Shirley Eaton did not die! It is a myth! Connery WAS the best James Bond!
sadly the goldfinger wonan died because of the paint job.
what a great idea though about haking a car out of gold to smuggle out of a country "WOULD BE GREAT TODAY!
You’re mispronouncing ’finger’
The movie was the fastest grossing movie in movie history when it was released, and was entered into the Guiness Book of World Records.
Goldfinger did not introduce the phrase “Bond, James Bond”. Dr No did.
The plot of Goldfinger was riddled with nonsense:-
As an example, in the scene with the gangsters, the one who didn't want to take part was driven away, shot and the car crushed. Pointless. And then, all the gangsters who were interested in taking part stayed behind and were gassed. So why invite them there in the first place? Again, pointless.
Exactly and I'm pretty sure their respective criminal families knew where they were and would get their revenge on Goldfinger!
So many errors.
Speak... Don't sing!
...A patch of skin on Shirley Eaton's body was left uncovered to allow it to breathe. If she had been entirely covered, she would have suffocated!
No enlightenment to be gained here amid assorted errors.
Your 15 things are full of errors. Do better. NO SUB!!
This guy needs to check his facts.
First fact wrong. Fact about where the Goldfinger name taken from, missed. And jarring pronunciation of Goldfinger. Unimpressed.
I've been into Bond all my life. The books and movies both. I love the movie. I like Shirley Bassey as well but the "Goldfinger" theme was awful. Just awful.
I too have been a fan all my life. Goldfinger was my first Bond movie seen in early ‘65 at age 11. I very much like the Goldfinger theme as it is used in instrumental variations throughout the film, but I have never been a fan of the Shirley Bassey theme song.
I liked the Goldfinger theme song so much I bought the 45. Still have it.
There is a version that was sung by Anthony Newley that could've been used. I think that was done before Shirley Bassey sang it.
@@TheCurseofStCustards Newley co-wrote the lyrics and sang it only for a demo for the director; it was never released.
Connery the worst bond he was no actor he was a ham
Oh really to each is own on the actor
Disagreement.😮
Only Sean could fill those suits like Ian wanted. Class act
Actually, Isn't the Aston Martin "Q's" choice in car?
