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.

My Favorite James Bond Film Ever
Goldfinger is without a doubt my favorite James Bond film ever, and one of my favorite movies of all time period. It is truly spectacular from start to finish, and remains to be an immortal classic.
Goldfinger is about a powerful man known as Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) hatches a plan to raid Fort Knox and demolish the world economy. James Bond (Sean Connery) must stop his plan and use his brand new Aston Martin car to take out the bad guys.
Such an excellent film. It's story is easily the best, straightforward, and clever out of all the Bond films, the pacing was incredibly fast, and this was really the first Bond film to have high scale action. The first two were the beginning, but this is where action kicks in and is outstanding.
The acting in this one is also the best. Easily Sean Connery's greatest performance and his best movie ever. Gert Fröbe was awesome as Goldfinger as well. The new Bond girl, Pussy Galore, isn't my favorite Bond girl, but she was still amazing, and Honor Blackman was very suitable for the role.
One last thing is this is the film that introduces the Aston Martin car, and it truly makes the film shine with all the cool gadgets it has and the tricks it can do. Probably my favorite gadget that James Bond gets to have.
Overall, I love Goldfinger. It always has and always will be my number one favorite Bond film. I don't think anything can beat it.
