The laser beam sequence in "Goldfinger" when James Bond is strapped down to the gold table is one of the greatest, most iconic and most intensely dramatic scenes in movie history! Bond had to rely upon his wits rather than gadgets to get out of that dangerous, lethal situation!
It's one of the things i love the most about Goldfinger: He gets all these cool gadgets and such, and uses them too, but in the end they all fail him and it's his quick thinking and determination that get him through to save the day.
@@DarkeeseLatfiah6 . Considering the short length of my posted comment about the laser beam scene in the Bond film, "Goldfinger" (1964), your criticism of that comment is absurd, which is not the least bit surprising!
As a kid I saw countless parodies of this scene in cartoons, where the protagonist would find some over-the-top way to escape. So when I saw this movie as a kid, I was disappointed to see that Bond literally just talks his way out of it. Now, as an adult, I consider this to be one of the best and most intense scenes I have seen in any film, and it outdoes every single parody I've seen of it.
Another time Bond really was genuinely terrified was when he saw a tarantula in his bed. I don't recall the movie with that scene, though. Bond was genuinely scared when he saw said arachnid, though.
I know it's a small thing, but I always liked the running theme of "008 being the guy that can get things done if Bond fails" through Bond media, since he's talked about and seen as the more cautious, reliable, and no-nonsense guy to balance out Bond's recklessness. Which is probably why he's the other notable 00 Agent that doesn't get himself killed.
Tune reason why Sean Connery looked scared is because there was someone under the table with a blowtorch, making the fire. I can only imagine what his thoughts were, like 'Someone better yell cut soon!'
OK, director, I think you've made your point. Thank you for the demonstration. Do you expect me to talk" "Yes mister Connery, I expect you to come up with a clever line that will prevent you to die"
In this case I don't think yelling "cut" would work. The prop man (I guess) is cutting already! "OK I'm cutting." He would get it too late when he hears Connery screaming his lungs out over the sound of the blowtorch!
Probably the finest mid-movie Bond - villain scene in the entire series. Connery is good but Frobe is brilliant. What a presence! And an immortal line!
Is it true that the actor who played goldfinger couldn't speak English and had to learn his lines without really understanding what his character was saying?
@@philipcorr8225 I think the actor could speak English Ok, but he had a very strong German accent, being German. The villian is supposed to be English with Central European ancestry. Again, methinks. The voice dubbing is done so well

Of course. He's not driven by overwhelming plans to take over the world, he's just greedy. Those people are the most dangerous ones, Take Hans Gruber for example.
One awesome thing about Goldfinger is that he is arguably Bond's intellectual superior, while Oddjob is his physical superior. Interestingly enough, Bond defeats Oddjob with his brains and Goldfinger with his brawn.

1964 Goldfinger: Created high budget lab with chains and lasers to torture Bond. 2006 Casino Royale: Low budget wooden chair with whip rope to scratch Bond's balls.
A beautifully shot, scripted, scored and acted scene. Bond in a near-death situation, able to get out by use of his wits and not gadgets. Plus, solid acting by Gert Frobe after Bond mentions knowing about "operation grand slam". Goldfinger has on his poker face, but Mr. Ling (Burt Kwouk) gave it away that those words were important. A true cinematic classic moment.
I remember watching this on the ABC Saturday Night Movie when I was 9 or 10. I was stumped how Bond was going to get out of this one. Every male audience member from kids to old men were cringing in their seat with extra suspense as "the laser" (in true Dr. Evil quotes) inched closer. One of the best scenes of the franchise.
Cassandra Harris played the role of Lisl in "For Your Eyes Only" he husband was Pierce Brosnan. He was on the set during one of her scenes and Albert Brocolli saw him and said "Here is our next Bond."
Fun fact: Pierce Brosnan was the first James Bond who was a non-smoker and the actor who followed him, Daniel Craig, also plays a James Bond who doesn't smoke. Will the next James Bond be a smoker or non-smoker? We'll have to wait and see.
This scene is parodied so much, and yet it’s still so suspenseful whenever you watch it! I know Goldfinger has had a bit of a backlash in recent years, but scenes like this really show why it was considered the best Bond film for so long.
@@florianmeier3186 Gert Frobe spoke perfectly understandable English (& with a more menacing voice), for whatever reason, the directors chose to over-dubb his voice
1964 Goldfinger: Created high budget lab with chains and lasers to torture Bond. 2006 Casino Royale: Low budget wooden chair with whip rope to scratch Bond's balls.
Personally, Goldfinger has to be amongst the greatest and iconic Bond films of all time, along with From Russia with Love, the Spy Who Loved Me and Skyfall. The chemistry between Sean Connery and Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) make this film so satisfying to watch.
I remember seeing this scene in the cinema without having any prior knowledge of it. The growing tension was almost unbearable. Amazing piece of film-making.
Lasers had just been invented a couple years earlier and I believe this might have been the first depiction of a laser in a movie. Do you remember knowing what a laser was at the time or if you thought it was a real technology? I mean the idea of some kind of death ray gun existed in scifi for a while, but I’m wondering how the idea of an actual laser was perceived at the time.
When the kids around me at the age of five were watching Disney and cartoons and such, here was me watching Die Another Day sometime after it came out. It was my favourite film, which inspired me to spend so many many hours sitting at the computer buying every Bond film upto that point. I was so excited when each new VHS tape would come through and I'd sit up close to the TV and watch them like my life depended on it. From five years old I was hooked. Loved Bond ever since. Scenes like this live in my mind. It's so nice to see how many people love these films and admire the small things like everything in this scene like me. From the scratch of the lights coming on to the laser noises, to Burt Kwouk of all people. Amazing stuff.
It’s odd when people say things like that - you realize that many of the techniques of dramatic cinematography were pioneered in the very early years? The 1960s was already 50+ years later.
Still, after all these years and all the movies this is one the best get-out scenes for Bond ever. Because he doesn't get out of the danger with a stunt or by luck or by intervention from someone else but by sheer cleverness. And he has to come up with a scheme quick. I'll always love this scene.
The scene in Live And Let Die when Tee Hee has Bond's finger in his pincers is also very tense as Kananga tests Solitaire to see if she still has her powers.
Probably my favourite Bond scene. (There are so many!) His usual confident bluster torn apart in an instant with that, "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!" Sean played it perfectly. That expression of, "Oh shit ..."
Every other line is memorable. "I think you made your point," "Choose your witticisms carefully Mr. Bond...," "I trust he will be more successful." Just pure cinematic gold. And, the music.
This the only moment where bond has nothing to save himself besides his limited knowledge of what the plan is, you can see how terrified he looks when he almost gets cut in half.
Damas y caballeros, con ustedes uno de los segmentos más memorables de toda la saga de 007 en particular y del cine, en general. El arma (de villano) y el diálogo entre Bond y Goldfinger son tan incombustibles como entrañables. Marcaron, a innumerables generaciones. Saludos desde Concepción, en Chile y gracias por subir este segmento tan icónico.-
Everything about this was solid gold (pun intended). The acting, the script, the setting, and of course, the magical music of John Barry. Bond literally had everything perfect. No other film or franchise for me has the total package, always something is missing. But Bond nailed it.
Love the moment at 2:44 where both the music and Goldfinger’s look suggest he’ll shut it down, but then he keeps the conversation going, brilliant extended tension building
I love the "cool gamer lights" on that thing. I personally choose to think the scientists put them on there during development not because of any practical reasons but only so make the laser look more swag.
The lights are actually how non-solid state lasers work, the neon flash tubes induce light into a ruby tube with mirrors on each end. The mirrors are spaced to create a standing coherent wave which emits the laser beam out of a small apeture hole in one of the mirrors. It may look sci-fi for the sake of movie props but it's actually realistic of how the first lasers operated
@@lithium-sulfate it's not going to work well if the flash tubes are just hanging out in empty air. Apparent that they just saw a cutaway of a laser and decided to put them on without understanding what they did
Great scene. Not a single person wearing safety glasses. With a laser of that power, everyone in the room would be permanently blind in about 25 milliseconds, just from the ambient reflections of the beam.
It is now December, 2024. I was 25 days old when the first functioning Red Ruby Laser was initiated at the Hughes Research Laboratory in Malibu, California on May 16, 1960. So, basically the Laser was only a 4 year old invention when this move came out and I was also 4 years old!
❤ this is pure genius... Every line is great, every intonation... And the climax line is so unique we forget how strong the preceding ones are... This for me is pure magic 🎯 the settings the acting the camera angles and moves... Incredible what Guy Hamilton did after Terence Young the master!
I like how 007 tried to warn Goldfinger that 008 would replace him if he dies. That was the first time we ever hear mentions of other 00 Agents, proving that Bond isn't the only super spy around. This scene is a classic.
"Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond, it may be your last!"
Great line!

Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die".
I love how he delivered that line.
Not many times the villain tries to cut him where he lives.
neat
@Daniel Solis Rodriguez No Bond said "It depends on your perspective", not "how you expect it"
The best of the best still die.
Arguably the most iconic 007 scene ever.
Agreed.
The way he says "I expect you to die" and his mimmic is just great
The most quotable scene in bond history
1964 Goldfinger: Created high budget lab with chains and lasers to torture Bond.
2006 Casino Royale: Low budget wooden chair with whip rope to scratch Bond's balls.
@@richardgalle9868
Yet only the one from Casino Royale managed to do any damage to Bond.
Funny how you don’t mention that.
It's lame, it's just Cock and Ball torture@@Ace20A
Oh look, it's Goldfinger with yet another scene that will go down as an iconic piece of cinema history
A beautifully shot, scripted, scored and acted scene. Bond in a near-death situation, able to get out by use of his wits and not gadgets. Plus, solid acting by Gert Frobe after Bond mentions knowing about "operation grand slam". Goldfinger has on his poker face, but Mr. Ling (Burt Kwouk) gave it away that those words were important. A true cinematic classic moment.
Had no idea that was Burt Kwuok! I remember him from Harry Enfield and the Pink Panther.
There is no modern day actor that could come close to Goldfingers character and deliver a perfect performance.
Goldfinger will forever be the best Connery villian.
RIP Sean
I totally agree !
For sure YES Goldfinger is brilliant
I remember watching this on the ABC Saturday Night Movie when I was 9 or 10. I was stumped how Bond was going to get out of this one. Every male audience member from kids to old men were cringing in their seat with extra suspense as "the laser" (in true Dr. Evil quotes) inched closer. One of the best scenes of the franchise.
Fun Fact: Pierce Brosnan was 11 years old and saw Goldfinger in theaters for the first time with his mother that he will become James Bond someday.
Goldfinger was also Timothy Daltons favorite Bond film as was From Russia With Love and Dr No.
Cassandra Harris played the role of Lisl in "For Your Eyes Only" he husband was Pierce Brosnan. He was on the set during one of her scenes and Albert Brocolli saw him and said "Here is our next Bond."
Fun fact: Pierce Brosnan was the first James Bond who was a non-smoker and the actor who followed him, Daniel Craig, also plays a James Bond who doesn't smoke. Will the next James Bond be a smoker or non-smoker? We'll have to wait and see.
@@starwarsrebel2006 But I thought 00's have a very short life expectancy.
@@Agent1W They do but it's not from smoking.
Looks like Britain's crown jewels had a close call
In the face of death too, Bond didn't panic, plead or scream. He was scared yet kept calmly bargaining applying his wits constantly. What a man!
This scene is parodied so much, and yet it’s still so suspenseful whenever you watch it! I know Goldfinger has had a bit of a backlash in recent years, but scenes like this really show why it was considered the best Bond film for so long.
Some movie history trivia - this scene in GOLDFINGER was the first time that a laser was shown in a movie!
@SavageArfad Weren't those "Death rays"?
th-cam.com/video/K6iF5sINVns/w-d-xo.html
And famous Gerd Fröbe was synchronized due to his strong accent, which is a pitty.
@@florianmeier3186 Gert Frobe spoke perfectly understandable English (& with a more menacing voice), for whatever reason, the directors chose to over-dubb his voice
"do you expect me to talk"
*instantly starts talking to try and escape*
That's what made this interrogation so effective. No questions were asked. If Bond wanted to live, he'd have to give something up.
As a nine year old I saw this in a fully crowded theater in 1973, because it was reshown over again for many more years in theaters, it was that good.
He nearly ended up having his double 00’s separated from his 7 !😆
Yes. Poor James 😅
This comment was so funny lmao
In the 60-70s the Wards, Penny's and Sears Christmas catalogs sold this laser table as a Bond Toy set. Really cool as a kid.
1964 Goldfinger: Created high budget lab with chains and lasers to torture Bond.
2006 Casino Royale: Low budget wooden chair with whip rope to scratch Bond's balls.
The Casino Royale villains were cheap af.
Ballpain was horrible to watch 4 men
You're either bias or you have bad taste when it comes to Casino Royal.
In Casino Royale Bond beats the villain at Texas Hold'em with no skill, just random luck. Just awful.
Yep. That sounds about right. Shows that the older movies are far more fun and the newer movies are pathetic and just overall boring and annoying.
Personally, Goldfinger has to be amongst the greatest and iconic Bond films of all time, along with From Russia with Love, the Spy Who Loved Me and Skyfall. The chemistry between Sean Connery and Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) make this film so satisfying to watch.
Where are Goldeneye and Casino Royale ?
How dare you disrespect On Her Majesty's Secret Service..... 😂😂😂.
The triple set piece climax of that film is the best in the entire series!
I remember seeing this scene in the cinema without having any prior knowledge of it. The growing tension was almost unbearable. Amazing piece of film-making.
Lasers had just been invented a couple years earlier and I believe this might have been the first depiction of a laser in a movie. Do you remember knowing what a laser was at the time or if you thought it was a real technology? I mean the idea of some kind of death ray gun existed in scifi for a while, but I’m wondering how the idea of an actual laser was perceived at the time.
@@jaredf6205 It would be an industrial ruby laser, which were quite well known about at the time.
When the kids around me at the age of five were watching Disney and cartoons and such, here was me watching Die Another Day sometime after it came out. It was my favourite film, which inspired me to spend so many many hours sitting at the computer buying every Bond film upto that point. I was so excited when each new VHS tape would come through and I'd sit up close to the TV and watch them like my life depended on it. From five years old I was hooked. Loved Bond ever since. Scenes like this live in my mind. It's so nice to see how many people love these films and admire the small things like everything in this scene like me. From the scratch of the lights coming on to the laser noises, to Burt Kwouk of all people. Amazing stuff.
the cinematography of this scene makes you forget this is a movie that is 60 years old. magnificence
It’s odd when people say things like that - you realize that many of the techniques of dramatic cinematography were pioneered in the very early years? The 1960s was already 50+ years later.
Still, after all these years and all the movies this is one the best get-out scenes for Bond ever. Because he doesn't get out of the danger with a stunt or by luck or by intervention from someone else but by sheer cleverness. And he has to come up with a scheme quick. I'll always love this scene.
God what a fantastic scene. I’m not sure there’s been a more tense sequence in a Bond movie since
oh please
The scene in Live And Let Die when Tee Hee has Bond's finger in his pincers is also very tense as Kananga tests Solitaire to see if she still has her powers.
Probably my favourite Bond scene. (There are so many!)
His usual confident bluster torn apart in an instant with that, "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"
Sean played it perfectly. That expression of, "Oh shit ..."
Laser set design, effect, and sound are spectacular.
Yes. I wonder if the ray of laser light was actually visible in this situation or was it a special effect added after the filming?
Agreed 👍 👍
Every other line is memorable. "I think you made your point," "Choose your witticisms carefully Mr. Bond...," "I trust he will be more successful." Just pure cinematic gold. And, the music.
'You are quite right, Mr Bond. You are worth more to me alive.'
As a fellow Poker player, I think that Goldfinger respected Bond’s bluff here.
Second. One of my favorite lines by villian in any movie
Arguably the most iconic scene in the entire franchise.
One of the most classic moments in Bond history. It was also the first time i was genuinely scared for Bonds life
This the only moment where bond has nothing to save himself besides his limited knowledge of what the plan is, you can see how terrified he looks when he almost gets cut in half.
Who the fuck wouldn't be scared in this situation? When in face of certain death we look for ANY way to escape.
James Bond "Do you expect me to talk?"
Auric Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
Damas y caballeros, con ustedes uno de los segmentos más memorables de toda la saga de 007 en particular y del cine, en general.
El arma (de villano) y el diálogo entre Bond y Goldfinger son tan incombustibles como entrañables. Marcaron, a innumerables generaciones.
Saludos desde Concepción, en Chile y gracias por subir este segmento tan icónico.-
"Do you expect me to talk , no i expect you to die!" What a great line that is!
Everything about this was solid gold (pun intended). The acting, the script, the setting, and of course, the magical music of John Barry. Bond literally had everything perfect. No other film or franchise for me has the total package, always something is missing. But Bond nailed it.
“No Mr Bond, I Expected you to Die!”
That to me is the Greatest Bond Villain line of all time.
The line is actually - " I EXPECT you to die". Not "I expected you to die". Why can no-one get anything right these days?
@@lorddaver5729 Thanks! His line is so Iconic sometimes I get to excited to say it.
Love the moment at 2:44 where both the music and Goldfinger’s look suggest he’ll shut it down, but then he keeps the conversation going, brilliant extended tension building
The sinister electronic noise in the background adds to the suspense.
its like radiation will kill them anywah
Goldfinger a great villain in this classic just better actors & actress back then.
Bond's thinking "Oh thank god, I almost lost my 00's"
This has to be one of the best cinematic experiences of all time. Such an incredible genius of a film.
Possibly the best scene ever in a Bond movie.
Burt Kwouk....Kato from the Pink Panther seems very concerned about 007 knowing operation grand slam !!
The name is Bond, James Bond.
I think you've made your point Goldfinger. Thank you for the demonstration!
Connery's Scottish accent really came thru then.
one of the most Legendary film moments of all time.
This is actually a really good video to show high school kids. Just the effects of negotiating and asking appropriate questions.
No better villian than ODDJOB the quiet assassin, the razor cutting Bolo hat and crushing golfballs into talcum powder with his bare hands.
I love the "cool gamer lights" on that thing. I personally choose to think the scientists put them on there during development not because of any practical reasons but only so make the laser look more swag.
lol made the same comment before I saw yours. He specifically says it's an industrial laser so definitely just there to be extra
The lights are actually how non-solid state lasers work, the neon flash tubes induce light into a ruby tube with mirrors on each end. The mirrors are spaced to create a standing coherent wave which emits the laser beam out of a small apeture hole in one of the mirrors.
It may look sci-fi for the sake of movie props but it's actually realistic of how the first lasers operated
@@lithium-sulfate nEEEEERRRRD
@@lithium-sulfate it's not going to work well if the flash tubes are just hanging out in empty air. Apparent that they just saw a cutaway of a laser and decided to put them on without understanding what they did
One of BEST Favorite 🎥.. Much better than nowadays full boring drama
RIP Sean. You always be a legendary Bond.
I will watch Bond movies over and over again especially with Sean Connery
I've never seen this film but man the musical score is just "chef's kiss"
Great scene. Not a single person wearing safety glasses. With a laser of that power, everyone in the room would be permanently blind in about 25 milliseconds, just from the ambient reflections of the beam.
You're really trying to criticize a movie from the 60s?
Happy 60th anniversary Goldfinger!!!
Signed, a Gen Z fan
Bond: "Can you afford to take that chance?"
Goldfinger: "Yes, if you make for a cheap funeral! Goodbye Mr Bond!"
This scene is masterfully performed, with 50% of its brilliance owed to the captivating music composed by John Barry.
Let's all just take a moment to recognize that industrial lasers are much more practical than cars
"Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr. Bond. It may be your last." Awesome line.👍🙌👏
I love this movie. And especially this scene. Bond for once can’t find a way out and talks his way out. It’s good. God the Bond movies are the best!
It is now December, 2024. I was 25 days old when the first functioning Red Ruby Laser was initiated at the Hughes Research Laboratory in Malibu, California on May 16, 1960. So, basically the Laser was only a 4 year old invention when this move came out and I was also 4 years old!
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation…piece of cake, really. C’mere radiation lemme stimulate ya.
One of the most intense and iconic moments of "Goldfinger"
Agree. Good acting and dialog. And the aspect I like the most about this scene is that 007 used his wits to escape death, not relying on some gadget.
An iconic scene from British cinema history. Brilliant, witty, dialogue, with tense atmospheric music.
One of the best scenes in movie history
❤ this is pure genius... Every line is great, every intonation... And the climax line is so unique we forget how strong the preceding ones are... This for me is pure magic 🎯 the settings the acting the camera angles and moves... Incredible what Guy Hamilton did after Terence Young the master!
The best bond in history. Gerd Fröbe was a legendary actor.
I like how 007 tried to warn Goldfinger that 008 would replace him if he dies. That was the first time we ever hear mentions of other 00 Agents, proving that Bond isn't the only super spy around. This scene is a classic.
