People hardly remark on it, but the music is absolutely perfectly constructed for the scene. Slow introduction, slow build in drama, and a note when the laser goes off to conclude the scene. Marvellous.
One of the best things about Connery is that he didn't overplay his cool. When things looked bad, he sweated. Made it more tense and the escapes more rewarding.
idk much abt this franchise, but i do remember when i was abt 15, Pierce Brosnan being told he was going to be tortured very slowly to death by some Rocky IV villain-looking guy, and he just shrugged it off, and i was like fk this shit, fk u Pierce, take some acting lessons and learn how to act like ur acting like ur not scared.
This whole time I was expecting him to toss a coin, reflecting the laser to cut open his restraints. Then I realised "No, wait, that was the Simpsons..."
One of the great film scenes. When Goldfinger said "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" the audience roared with laughter. I remember that 56 years later.
@@algoy001 Dr No, the first James Bond picture. The villain, the titular Dr No, really has Bond dead to rights, and can talk smack with the best of them.
The crazy thing is literally only his wit saved him. He was 100% doomed otherwise. THAT is scary, that there are even traps that Bond can't get out of.
@@UltimaKeyMaster To be fair, the traps are often stupid. If only there had been crocodiles to align in the laser room, he could have escaped that way.
It made no sense that he survived though. All Goldfinger had to do was to ask him what he knew of "Op. Grandslam" and if he couldn't then just kill him.
When this scene was filmed I understand there was a guy underneath the metal sheet with a real blowtorch. It's easy to imagine Connery may have been genuinely becoming ever more tense as the flame got nearer to...ahem...the critical point...:-D
@Kemaal Deen-Ellis Because Casino Royale is his first mission and if you remember, Le Chiffre whipped his nuts with a rope. Though I think he did impregnate Suzuki in the You Only Live Twice book and it was later revealed that Bond has a Japanese son.
@Kemaal Deen-Ellis I don't know why anyone would want to be Bond's child. Bond is a great character but he's still a misogynist dick with a questionable sense of morality. If Bond found out he has a son, I doubt he'd even care. Because to him, Suzuki was just another gorgeous woman he had sex with. The only women Bond truly loved were Vesper Lynd and Teresa di Vicenzo.
@Firion Al'Hade I know. The movies depict him as a hero, not the books. But even the movies don't depict him as a moral man, he's still a jerk but a cool jerk.
"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" is probably one of the 2 or 3 truly great lines in film history. Right up there with "frankly my dear I don't give a damn."
@@dnasty312 that's probably the greatest introduction in history, film or otherwise, rather than a great line. Ordinary but there is something about the way only Sean Connery can say it that makes it unforgettable.
btw Charles Bronson's mesmerizing stare with the harmonica in his mouth as he is introduced in Once Upon A Time In The West is the greatest non-verbal introduction I've ever seen.
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!
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!

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
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.
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.
Gerd Fröbe, one of the best 007 villains ever! He actually appeared in another movie in a small role where Sean Connery also played in, “The Longest Day”
Fröbe had been a WW2 veteran himself and before that spent eleven years in the Nazi Party before leaving in 1937. His films were banned in Israel until it was discovered he had hidden Jews from the Nazis: www.nytimes.com/1988/09/06/obituaries/gert-frobe-an-actor-dies-at-75.html
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.
@@bumhandler I think Goldfinger knew but as Bond said he couldn’t afford to take that chance. Goldfinger was days away from success, he couldn’t risk anything, if he killed Bond it’d draw too much attention
This isnt just a perfect bond scene but in my opinion one of the greatest scenes in cinema: Connery’s genuine fear, the accompanying music, the dialogue. They coalesce perfectly
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.
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.
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.
@@florianmeier3186 Gert Frobe spoke perfectly understandable English (& with a more menacing voice), for whatever reason, the directors chose to over-dubb his voice
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ..."
@@qwertymanor Frobe did, but it was heavily accented, and thus had to be overdubbed to be understood. The only place in the film Gert Frobe's actual voice was heard during the scene with the model of Ft. Knox.
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.
(Meanwhile in an alternate timeline) 007: "Operation: Grandslam, for instance." Goldfinger: Oh really?.... What is Operation: Grandslam, Mr. Bond? 007:😳
What is Operation: Grandslam, Mr. Bond? An operation big enough to draw the attention of the British Secret Service. Kill me now and you and all of your enterprises will be brought down in less than 6 hours. We'll blame the Soviets. I'll take that chance, Mr.Bond. 007:😳
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
@@lithiumsulfate7361 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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
“All my life I’ve been in love with it’s color, it’s brilliance, it’s divine heaviness” Ngl I agree with him about gold. If you ever held pure gold before it’s absolutely alluring
Escena absolutamente inolvidable... Cómo tan bien hecho el suspenso!!! Esta película la vi por primera vez en mi niñez, en un cine de barrio. No me canso de verla una y otra vez. Gracias desde Chile.
I love how in this scene a laser cutting through gold is seen as unbelievable, yet nowdays laser cutters for metal is a common industrial thing. How times change lol.
To those just watching these clips: You really should give the full films a shot. Excellent cinema. Beats anything on TV or in the theater nowadays! Pure class, escapism, and STYLE! :D

Always loved when Goldfinger said "No Mr Bond I expect you to die!" The accent in it is amazing!
Due credit to Michael Collins!
Yep Gert Fröbe‘s voice is dubbed because he didn‘t speak english
@@David-281 He did, but apparently his accent was too thick
Jeffrey Knickman His accent isn't as thick as my old therapist's. I barely understood anything she said because of it.
@@David-281 He did speak English, but his accent was somewhat incomprehensible, you can see him in the trailer of the same movie you can hear his real voice ...
007: "Can you afford to take that chance?"
Goldfinger: "Yes."
007: Screams in agony as the laser cuts him in half.
😁
007 ----> 01 10
Ahí, Bond hubiera sido 00 - 7.-
🤭😁🎬📽️🎞️🎥🇨🇱
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
1:57
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.
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
Goldfinger will forever be the best Connery villian.
RIP Sean
I totally agree !
For sure YES Goldfinger is brilliant
Arguably the most iconic 007 scene ever.
Agreed.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
One of the most classic moments in Bond history. It was also the first time i was genuinely scared for Bonds life
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!
Second. One of my favorite lines by villian in any movie
"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.
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 name is Bond, James Bond.
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.
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.
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 ..."
Goldfinger, didn't speak a word of English, his voice was overdubbed, ,,brilliant
And the laser was optically put in still looks great.
@frank ortolano thats crazy, I must’ve seen the film a dozen times and didn’t notice at all.
I don’t think so. Remember he also played the King of Vulgaria in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
he did speak English actually. I think in the trailer he spoke some English.
@@qwertymanor Frobe did, but it was heavily accented, and thus had to be overdubbed to be understood.
The only place in the film Gert Frobe's actual voice was heard during the scene with the model of Ft. Knox.
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 👍 👍
'You are quite right, Mr Bond. You are worth more to me alive.'
The way he says "I expect you to die" and his mimmic is just great
Gert Frobe's acting is really strong here.
Don’t forget Michael Collins, the voice behind the man with the Midas touch
Only one of his lines was done with Gert Fröbe's actual voice.
The sinister electronic noise in the background adds to the suspense.
its like radiation will kill them anywah
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.
I will watch Bond movies over and over again especially with Sean Connery
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.
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!
Arguably the most iconic scene in the entire franchise.
(Meanwhile in an alternate timeline)
007: "Operation: Grandslam, for instance."
Goldfinger: Oh really?....
What is Operation: Grandslam, Mr. Bond?
007:😳
Yaphett Banks Wimbledon, for instance
He could have just refused to say anything further. Which ment Goldfinger had to take a risk killing him.
What is Operation: Grandslam, Mr. Bond?
An operation big enough to draw the attention of the British Secret Service. Kill me now and you and all of your enterprises will be brought down in less than 6 hours. We'll blame the Soviets.
I'll take that chance, Mr.Bond.
007:😳
@@tijmen131 The ecstasy of gold...
grandslam is what I call my morning breakfast Mr. Bond, now good day.
This scene is masterfully performed, with 50% of its brilliance owed to the captivating music composed by John Barry.
one of the most Legendary film moments of all time.
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.
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
@@lithiumsulfate7361 nEEEEERRRRD
@@lithiumsulfate7361 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
I really like these little tidbits of trivia they throw in, down in the description.
RIP Sean. You always be a legendary Bond.
One of BEST Favorite 🎥.. Much better than nowadays full boring drama
"Do you expect me to talk , no i expect you to die!" What a great line that is!
“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.
Possibly the best scene ever in a Bond movie.
I've never seen this film but man the musical score is just "chef's kiss"
Frobe was perfect for the role. He really did look like Krushchev.
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.
James Bond "Do you expect me to talk?"
Auric Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
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
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.
The music in these old bond films and especially this scene is fantastic!
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.
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?
An iconic scene from British cinema history. Brilliant, witty, dialogue, with tense atmospheric music.
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.
Greatest Bond theme ever, sung by one of the Greatest female singers ever, certainly the greatest belter!
“All my life I’ve been in love with it’s color, it’s brilliance, it’s divine heaviness”
Ngl I agree with him about gold. If you ever held pure gold before it’s absolutely alluring
Escena absolutamente inolvidable... Cómo tan bien hecho el suspenso!!! Esta película la vi por primera vez en mi niñez, en un cine de barrio. No me canso de verla una y otra vez. Gracias desde Chile.
The music adds to an already great scene. RIP to the King.
I love how in this scene a laser cutting through gold is seen as unbelievable, yet nowdays laser cutters for metal is a common industrial thing. How times change lol.
He literally says in the scene that it's an industrial laser for cutting metals lol
I think you've made your point Goldfinger. Thank you for the demonstration!
Connery's Scottish accent really came thru then.
The most iconic Bond moment ever...God bless you Sean...P.S. watch over Roger up there
3:27 biggest sigh in Sean's life.
To those just watching these clips: You really should give the full films a shot. Excellent cinema. Beats anything on TV or in the theater nowadays! Pure class, escapism, and STYLE! :D
Escapism because Bond escapes from the situation or because the viewer escapes from their daily life? :P
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.
Icon scene and line in Bond history. R.I.P Sir Sean Connery ✨
