One of the greatest movie scenes of all time, you don’t have to be a golfer to appreciate it! What a beautiful golf course love the birds in the background
I was a greenkeeper at Stoke Poges (now Stoke Park) in the early 80's when the course looked quite similar to how it was in the movie. It is shot over the last three holes. The golf swing of Gert Frobe was actually a man called Ray Knock, a local artisan member and very good at golf. He won the national artisan championship a couple of times but died in the seventies.
As I said: the greatest Bond, greatest Bond Villain, greatest Bond henchman, the greatest Bond score, greatest Bond theme song, the greatest Bond girl, greatest Bond movie title, and the greatest Bond movie
Interesting point. Live and let die is a great Bond song and probably the only Bond song that really had a life of its own outside the Bond universe. But musically speaking it is not a Bond song, at least deviates too far from the typical elements of a Bond song. Goldfinger is the ultimate Bond song. It is the archetype of a Bond song. So... I have to go with Goldfinger. @@kovan1975
I hear that Connery and the actor who played Goldfinger became fast friends during the shooting of the film and did a lot of golfing during the their off time.
A year or two after this movie was made, I got to be friends with Oddjob's real-life nephew. Oddjob's wrestling name was Tosh Togo. He was actually Japanese American, not Korean.
I noticed that. I have used how do you do as a greeting but I have slipped in recent years. Actually, alright mate existed back then. These days it’s “yo”.
David Woods Gert Frobe who played Goldfinger was German and spoke very little English. His lines were dubbed by British actor Michael Collins although a few times in the movie Frobe was speaking himself.
You people should understand that this scene built the James Bond character and world....the atmosphere...the zeitgeist....more than any other scene in the early movies.
Lol I like how he said that golf is not yet the national game of Korea 😂 and now the Koreans dominate the LPGA. Also some of the best of both men’s tours are Korean.
I once won a bet - What was the serial number on the bar of gold wagered by James Bond in the golf match with Goldfinger?" Somehow 7190 stuck in my mind when I saw it. Still a good trivia question for Bond movie fans.
This movie is so well made. I love how the script writers clearly play golf in the way that Goldfinger and Bond keep talking just before the swing to try and psych each other out.
Thinking about it, is the reason Goldfinger missed the putt because there was suddenly a 25-odd pound metal block on the green that warped the ground around it?
golf, a sport where subterfuge and gamesmanship, are nearly as important as ball striking and course management. It’s something that comes into play in the cash games at the local courses quite frequently.
Ian Flemming said he took the Goldfinger character and famous line "No, Mr. Bond, I want you to die" from a golfing buddy. Ian tried to pick up his ball and take a penalty. The buddy said, "No, Mr Flemming, I want you to play the lie!"
The gold bar dropped at around 1:18 would have weighed close to thirty pounds and left a large dent in the freshly mowed/manicured green. Nor could Mr Bond have had it in his pocket during the game. In his bag? Possibly. Although the sheer weight wouldn't have been appreciated by his caddy. And I can't see the caddy handing anything to Mr Bond prior to the bar being dropped opposite Goldfinger's short putt. Dropping the gold bar considered a violation of Golf etiquette. You never want to distract your opponent.
Obscure Entertainment he is not friends with Trump but Connery loves to play Golf and he is living in the Bahamas with his wife and has been for years.
You never pick your opponents ball out of the hole!!! The switch would never happen in real life! Also you don't leave you ball in the hole when your opponent is putting!
0:45; 'Golf is not yet the national game of Korea, hey?', probably is now: dominate the ladies game and a few handy male players over the years as well.
Wonder why they did not film this scene at Royal St. Georges, Sandwich, where Ian Fleming set the episode in the novel (although calling it Royal St. Marks). Perhaps the Cttee were not keen?
one of the men who wrote james bond, his daughter loved pro wrestling and they used a few on a few bond movies tosh togo aka odd job also chief maivia in you only live twice, the rock's grandfather and in dr. no one of his bodyguards who beat up bond also was a wrestler and he also was in the spy who loved me. the guy who he let go by his tie. that fell off the roof. if you look it up they all wresled in england in the 60's.
True story. Gary Player's caddie, Rabbit Dyer did the same thing Odd Job did and dropped another ball when Player lost his ball near the 18th green at Royal and Lytham at St Anne's at the Open in the 1960's. Player won the Open, but rumors have it the Players lost ball is in the members' clubhouse, off limits to the general public.

At 4:43, was Sean Connery supposed go first?
Marc Haring How does it look now? Did you see the statue with missing head? Haha..
If only he shot in the 60's, he'd still be around.
Thanks, fun stuff
Golf double, voice entirely dubbed... Gert Frobe didn't do much for his paycheck!
RIP Sean Connery, died this morning aged 90 :( this is still the greatest golf scene in movie history :)
As I said: the greatest Bond, greatest Bond Villain, greatest Bond henchman, the greatest Bond score, greatest Bond theme song, the greatest Bond girl, greatest Bond movie title, and the greatest Bond movie
And the greatest car - by a light year.
I cannot disagree with a single point you are making. Yes, yes and yes. That movie is immensely re-watchable.
Diana Rigg, for me.
Live and let die theme song for me
Interesting point. Live and let die is a great Bond song and probably the only Bond song that really had a life of its own outside the Bond universe. But musically speaking it is not a Bond song, at least deviates too far from the typical elements of a Bond song. Goldfinger is the ultimate Bond song. It is the archetype of a Bond song. So...

Goodamn he is welldressed and iconic!! Love that style.
I like how he apparantly change to a more casual look with a shirt and sweater for the golf, only to switch back to jacket and tie after the game.
I hear that Connery and the actor who played Goldfinger became fast friends during the shooting of the film and did a lot of golfing during the their off time.
The actors name is Gerd Fröbe from germany.
The golf seen is my favorite seen in any Bond Movie no gimmicks or special effects just good writing
scene
Yes. Good writing good acting and all set in an English golf course
Back in the day when story was more important than CGI
agree...but but they did use a double for Goldfinger...when hitting golfshots
0:36 that music sting when he sees Oddjob...completely without irony, and it works. They don't make movies like this anymore.
Nor would they include a golf scene!
What do you mean without irony?
No; Oddjob would be African-American and Goldfinger would be flaming.
@@chuckcap6878 Oddjob would be South African, Goldfinger would have some kind of bone disease.
...haha...golf is not the national game of Korea...LOL...
And a few years later golf is massive in Korea...
And at my golf dome for the driving range! Almost 90% Koreans now.
Funny, when I was a kid I thought Goldfinger was fat. Now he looks smaller than most people here in Sweden. :P
He would look anorexic in the states
You can't call Goldfinger fat, that's fat shaming, more correct to say "the colour of his hair makes him look unfairly large"
he isnt even fluffy
Most people are more fat than homer Simpson
Inane
One of the best Bond movies ever!
The man actually doing the hitting as Goldfinger has a top, top class swing.
A year or two after this movie was made, I got to be friends with Oddjob's real-life nephew. Oddjob's wrestling name was Tosh Togo. He was actually Japanese American, not Korean.
Rumour has it Goldfinger is Boris Johnson’s long lost uncle
He does look a bit like him! 😂😂😂
At 3:43---"If that's his original ball, I'm Arnold Palmer". RIP Mr. Palmer, 9-25-2016
you mean Trump
Well, they wouldn't let a POS like Obama in the club, except to shine shoes.
@@chuckcap6878 Ah yes casual racism on youtube, on a three year old comment, nothing ever changes.
Who was Arnold Palmer?
@@CBfrmcardiff One of the most famous pro golfers of all time. He won 62 PGA Tours.
Absolutely gold this scene is
Pun intended?
Well played, sir
love Goldfingers reaction at the end!
" The bar of gold you have with you, Mr. Bond. But it's worth £ 5000....Oh I will stake the cash equivalent, naturally." Fantastic.
Ilove GoldFinger what a classic i watch it as kid Sean was the best Bond of all times
1964: How do you do?
2018: alright mate
Was just thinking that. People say awwwwwriiiigggghhhttt?????? These days
I noticed that. I have used how do you do as a greeting but I have slipped in recent years. Actually, alright mate existed back then. These days it’s “yo”.
So what's the polite way to address someone?
I am asking because I am Not a native English speaker
@@4lugan "Good Morning" Good Afternoon" "Good Evening" "Hello"
4lugan you could try...... hello
Mr. Connery is also an excellent golfer in real life.
MrHoffmannfd did he learn for the movie?
He played before the movie regularly. Was a single digit handicap too.
Sean is a member at Pine Valley in Clementon, NJ, regarded universally as the #1 golf course in the world.
Cole Thornton I’d love to play Pine Valley.
@Silent Hill Warrior 5 except they call it GOFF ..... without the L.
Connery rocking the fedora, I approve.
sonicmank Trilby
When you realize how well-dressed Mr. Bond is in this clip with his shaved face and perfect haircut, you'll are just WT!
3:24 "Ha-ha!" The almost only one of Oddjob's spoken lines in the whole movie. (The other one is "Aaaaah!" when he gets hit by electricity later.) xD
Love how Cold War this is. Man has a funny accent and cheats at golf - must be evil haha
I read somewhere that he only says one line in the movie and the others were dubbed in
I read that in the trailer it's his own voice when he says "Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond, it may be your last."
+Declan Sheehan Uncannily he spoke that in really good English.
David Woods now we elect him president
David Woods Gert Frobe who played Goldfinger was German and spoke very little English. His lines were dubbed by British actor Michael Collins although a few times in the movie Frobe was speaking himself.
Let's have a little bit fun with Mr. Goldfinger!
I wonder what Bond tipped his caddy that day! Connery was a very frugal Scotsman!
I love the ending when Bond just looks around after Goldfinger throws his ball in rage
Did I really watch these in 240p in my childhood?!
You people should understand that this scene built the James Bond character and world....the atmosphere...the zeitgeist....more than any other scene in the early movies.
You're absolutely right there.
"you people"... Who in the fuck are you calling "you people"?
Huh maybe, Dr. No was the definitive Fleming book.
That moment when you realize Bond played 16 holes of golf with a gold bar somewhere on his person...
you can see at 1:30 that the caddy had the Gold Bar
No. He made his caddy carry that heavy bar in the golf bag for all 18 holes. He sure deserved a big tip from Bond at the end of the day.
Is that a gold bar in your Johnny Millers or are you just glad to see me?
The legend John Barry.
I thinker Hawker, Bond's caddy, had carried the gold bar in Bond's golf bag...
I'd like to buy that bar of gold for "five thousand pounds".
Einer der besten Bond Filme , ein nur klasse 😊
A gold bar that size would weigh about 20 pounds! And here Goldfinger thought that Bond was just excited to play golf with him.
o, no, it was 5000lbs!
I read that Sean Connery carried a 4 handicap during his best days as a golfer . Not too shabby .
Idk what the handicap thing is but I heard he was a single digit handicap idk if that’s better or worse than 4
@@tylercox18754 handicap is a single digit. It means you're pretty good. Not a professional, but not far off.
Lol I like how he said that golf is not yet the national game of Korea 😂 and now the Koreans dominate the LPGA. Also some of the best of both men’s tours are Korean.
My mother took me to movies as a kid early in the 60's. I saw every Bond film when it was Sean Connery.
Oh my, is that the yr it was shown in theaters here in phils? 1964 I was an 8yr old kiddie, we watched it so enjoyable!
"Strict rules of golf?" That moment Goldfinger screws himself royally.
When a Bond movie was a Bond movie
Why is it not now
Tom Abela It’s Jason Bourne
Ok Boomer
@@tomabela7949 hollywood
"it seems I am too good for you!"
love that
Best of all the Bond movies ❗️
Watched this scene more times than I can remember. Only now do I wonder where bond was keeping that 27 lbs. gold bar he tosses. In his pocket?
It was in the golf bag that Felix is carrying
Casually walking around with a 10kg bar of gold in his trouser pocket...where does he buy his belts?🤣😂🤣
Fleming literally wrote about 40 passionate pages describing this game. Bond in the book was a lot more angry at times ("Shades...please; Goldfinger")
I once won a bet - What was the serial number on the bar of gold wagered by James Bond in the golf match with Goldfinger?" Somehow 7190 stuck in my mind when I saw it. Still a good trivia question for Bond movie fans.
What did you win?
@@hint0122 $50. Quite alot of $$ in 1969 for me.

5:01 golf ball still hanging around after goldfinger's swing.😂
Damn Mr. Bond looks 1000x twice better than his opponent...
Supercool outfit for the 2015's...
Classic!
I think of Robert Shaw in The Sting when I see this scene.. "what was I supposed to do call him out for being a better cheat?"

Prophetic words indeed.

Golf is like a domina - you pay a lot of cash to be humbled
i prefer the older bonds
Goldfinger reaction is priceless. Like how the fuck dare he!?
“I LOVE.. GOOLLLLLLLD!”
As a golfer, I cry a little on the inside when he throws the gold bar on the green
Carl Nicola lol I know right? Like damn that divot has my heart pounding
Even more upsetting is it's no longer a golf course 😢
Why? It wasn't on his putt line. Okay, the divot - good job the marshall wasn't near
Love the loaded pauses and silent shots here. Plenty of room to let the stakes build.
Ian Flemming said he took the Goldfinger character and famous line "No, Mr. Bond, I want you to die" from a golfing buddy. Ian tried to pick up his ball and take a penalty. The buddy said, "No, Mr Flemming, I want you to play the lie!"
Keep your eye on the ball on the tee after Goldfinger's last drive. He missed the ball but it suddenly disappears off the tee. Funny.
Yes, I noticed that too. The special FX guy was a few frames late in removing the ball that was matted in.
Something about the line "Golf is not yet the national sport of Korea" while laughing.
"The Sting" --- "what was I supposed to do accuse him of cheating better then me ? "
Moral of this story is: when playing golf, always check your balls 👍
The gold bar dropped at around 1:18 would have weighed close to thirty pounds and left a large dent in the freshly mowed/manicured green. Nor could Mr Bond have had it in his pocket during the game. In his bag? Possibly. Although the sheer weight wouldn't have been appreciated by his caddy.

I'd say Goldfinger was quite happy to see it.
It's a movie!
“But I teed off with Slazenger 7, which the same ball type, so I am afraid you lose…Mr. Bond”
Haha... Just excellent...
James Bond should play goff with Trump.
Apparently Sean Connery is good friends with Trump and they both play golf together.
@@obscureentertainment8303 That sucks

Obscure Entertainment he is not friends with Trump but Connery loves to play Golf and he is living in the Bahamas with his wife and has been for years.
@@scottknode898 really? How old is he now?
Just noticed the additional product placement at 0:25 Go Slazenger!
There is a magic in the early Bond films which is missing in the later ones. May be it is just nostalgia.
Oddjob was the best in goldeneye. His short stature made him so hard to hit.
Goldfinger and Oddjob…..both dressed by H Huntsman of Saville Row.
"Shall we make it a shilling a hole?"
I love Goldfinger he was such a gold junky.
At 5:00 I reckon that's not Gert Fröbe, the actor playing Goldfinger. That's Harry Bradshaw, the swing is unmistakable.
You never pick your opponents ball out of the hole!!! The switch would never happen in real life!
Also you don't leave you ball in the hole when your opponent is putting!
At the beautiful Stoke Poges course , and club in Buckinghamshire.
0:45; 'Golf is not yet the national game of Korea, hey?', probably is now: dominate the ladies game and a few handy male players over the years as well.
It is surely getting close. Driving ranges all over the place.
Yup. Si Woo Kim, a South Korean, just won the 2017 Players Championship.
+Andrew Comments But we're still training him to be a caddy...
I think the national game may still be Starcraft, but Golf has GOT to be a close second at this point :D w00t S.Korean golfers!!
This flick stokes the fires of vengeance
Brick of pure gold that big in the bag would break the caddie´s spine. But legendary scene from the best Bond movie anyway :-).
Gert B Frobe - what a guy!
2023 here. Current 1b value is 20,274.62 Euro. I would say that looks like a 5 lb bar, so over $100,000
Wonder why they did not film this scene at Royal St. Georges, Sandwich, where Ian Fleming set the episode in the novel (although calling it Royal St. Marks). Perhaps the Cttee were not keen?
Goldfinger was German with little or no English. His voice is dubbed all through the film. Who'd have thought.
I didn't know Stoke Park Club posted this video. How does the club look today compared to this film?
I’d say golf is big in Korean now lol
As soon as I heard that "golf is not the national game of Korea" I burst out laughing. It is now! So glad you caught that too.;-)
@@johndennissf you know this line got the Korean pretty mad back then. "oh yeah? We'll show you" and the rest is history as they say.
Archery is the national sport of Korea. They need to have Bond doing that in the next movie.

Still hard to believe that oddjob was played by mister Fuji

That is how you tear up the greens Mr. Bond
Apparently, Connery had never golfed before making this movie. It quickly became his favorite sport.
Can you imagine the indentation put into that green by an ingot of gold?
