Trivia:
Vehicles featured included the most famous of all the James Bond cars, the silver birch Aston Martin DB5 which would return for Thunderball (1965); Tilly Masterson's white 1964 Ford Mustang convertible, the first appearance of this make in a movie; a yellow and black 1937 Rolls Royce Phantom III Sedance de Ville, Goldfinger's 12 cylinder made-of-gold car weighing 7000 lb; a white Hiller UH-12E4 helicopter; black Mercedes-Benz 180, 190 and 220 models which pursue 007; a Ford Country Squire station wagon; Ford military pickup (After leaving the 'canyon' it becomes a Dodge WC-51, but reverts to a pickup as it drives up to the gate); a US Army Dodge WC-54 ambulance; a Lockheed JetStar C-140 plane piloted by Pussy Galore & Sydney; a Lockheed US VC-140B plane seen at the end of the movie; Pussy Galore's Flying Circus being made up of all Piper PA-28 Cherokee planes; a blue 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible sedan and a 1964 Ford Falcon Ranchero delivery vehicle, both used by Oddjob; another Lincoln Continental and a white 1964 Ford Thunderbird ridden by Felix Leiter and his CIA partner Johnny in Kentucky. (Note: When bond refers to the Rolls-Royce as a 'Phantom Three-Thirty-Seven' he was probably referring to it by its type and year, a Phantom 3, '37 (1937). There is no Phantom '337' model, so this type/year reference can be safely assumed, and hence is not a goof.) more

FAQ

Did actress Shirley Eaton really die from the gold paint she was covered in?
Who is singing the title song?
Wouldn't an atomic bomb have simply vaporised Fort Knox and all the land around it, not just made the gold radioactive?

The Standard by which later Bond films will be judged...., 24 October 2001
10/10

A great piece of escapism that has held up well thru the years as a tightly paced film and a standard by which other Bond films are often judged by. There are so many great scenes in this film that tickle me every time, when Bond outsmarts Goldfinger on the golf course, the Pussy Galore flying circus scenes, the scenes where the Mob bosses are eventually snuffed out, the Lincoln crushing scene because it's so outrageous to have crushed a new car, and the scene where Goldfinger gets pulled thru the plane's broken window to his demise, and many others. The classic theme as sung by the still great Shirley Bassey is a "10"!!(I saw her perform recently in Atlantic City NJ and she is awesome!..only odd thing is she did every Bond theme she recorded except "Goldfinger"..not sure why.) I have always enjoyed this film upon repeat viewings thru the years and always looked forward to it's occasional showing on Sunday night on ABC network in the years before video players were a common household item. I have always wondered about one scene in the movie if it's a mistake or not....when Bond and Goldfinger are fighting in the Plane for the gun and the gun goes off, there is a long shot of Bond grabbing hold of one of the plane's seats as Goldfinger is flying toward the broken window..but I swear there is a person lying in the isle on the floor near Bond!?? If this is so, who is it supposed to be? A person who got knocked out when debris started flying? Is it the Asian hostess that spied on Bond when he was on board the last time? It's such a quick shot I swear my eyes are fooling me! I hope someone can answer my question!
