Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was the fastest grossing movie in movie history when it was released, and was entered into the Guiness Book of World Records.
- GoofsIn addition to what has been pointed out by others about the small Ford Falcon-based Ranchero truck never being able to carry the crushed Lincoln Continental (weight doesn't change because something is compacted to a smaller physical size), the Continental's large-block cast iron engine (which is fairly non-compressible)is almost as large as the depicted "cube" by itself let alone all the rest of the car's parts. Even today, there is no way a vehicle of that size can be turned into a compacted cube of the small size that was depicted, let alone with crushing equipment from 50 years ago.
- Quotes
James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Auric Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits include footage from Goldfinger, as well as an unused cut of a helicopter scene in From Russia with Love (1963) (helicopter). One of the Goldfinger scenes shown (Bond visiting Q Branch) isn't actually in the movie. Additionally, a putt shown is from a different POV than actually used.
- Alternate versionsThe English mono track on the Blu-ray fades the end credits version of the Goldfinger theme about 5 seconds early, around the same time as the picture goes to black. All other audio tracks keep the long version. As well, the Blu-ray includes a few restoration credits right after the fade to black, but these do not replace anything or alter the timing.

Featured review
The best bond movie
Goldfinger is a spy action movie directed by Late Guy Hamilton and stars Late Sean Connery, Late Honor Blackman and Late Gert Fröbe.
It wouldn't be wrong if we say that the franchise is improving with every movie and this is the best amongst all.
The screenplay of the movie is gripping and intense, the movie has some decent action scenes with strong acting. Climax is one of the best amongst all the movies with refreshing plot.
The movie is undoubtedly the Pinnacle of the bond series and Late Connery in the character of Bond. This movie had certainly laid the foundation stone for bond series. A must watch.
