The greatest Bond movie, the greatest Bond villain, the greatest Bond henchman, the greatest Bond score, the greatest Bond song, the greatest Bond woman with the greatest female name, and of course, the greatest Bond actor (none of the others don't even come close) of all time!
I came down that road on an old 1960 Triumph T110 chopper in 1978 my front brake cable snapped, my rear brake faded. I shut down the idle on the carb and coasted all the way down . Cornering was still hairy. What a fabulous road.
"Just look at my car!" "Shocking, positively shocking!" The great cars; one of the most stunningly beautiful roads anywhere in the world; a truly classy & beautiful Bond girl; two of the most ruthless & wonderful villains ever; a roadside fresh fruit stand!!! It can't, and won't ever again, be this cool......
@Klemheist Actually when I checked, it was NOT due to "climate change" at all. Rather it was due to a new tunnel built in 2000. Hardly anyone takes the switchbacks road anymore. The hotel simply no longer had guests enough to stay open. Sad that, really.
@Klemheist Yes, I agree. Ahhh..., to win the lotto (or just have the spare $) to buy & restore that wonderfully historic hotel would be nice. Maybe acquire as many Bond artifacts as possible and have a wee Bond museum too! Turn 1/4 of the rooms into a small batch custom brewery as well. I could see living there, no problem. Offer the best at cut rates with no worries as to how much profit was necessary, just to be friendly. Dreams are made of this, eh?
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Colin Jose thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
My favourite part in this movie... just love the nostalgia that comes with it.. fun fact: i am from switzerland, and the radar shows a totally different place than he actually going to visit with the aston.. :))
That's what I thought. I don't know Switzerland too well, but he was definitely not driving along the lakeshore... The Furka road must look quite different today...
@@gertraba4484...RIght after that part, if she had really crashed at the speed the film tried to make it look like, her head would have been part of the steering wheel. That's regardless if she had the optional lap belts in 1964.
A lot of nostalgia for me from this scene, maninly because as a child in the 1970s we used drive through the alps on the way from France to Italy every year. It was just like this back then.
Furka Pass in Switzerland. I have been there last year. Wonderful landscape and really worth a visit. The hotel at 0:07 still exists there and u can go and see a glacier next to it.
just noticed a continuity/costume glitch that I've never noticed before, having watched this movie like 20 times!! Bond is wearing a light brown wool jacket with the white cuffs of his shirt showing quite distinctly, as he waves the Mustang to pass him ,on the close up of his left arm and hand reaching for the control console to engage the wheel spikes he is wearing the black shirt that he also has when he engages the ejector seat in later scenes. So I guess the film editor simply used a brief close up insert from the later chase scene and ejector seat scene when Bond has changed clothes to black shirt and trousers.
*Been there many times the first in 1962 (we used to call it **_The Bad Word Pass,_** as had girlfriends in car !) - My ' Icon' my Pepsi Suzuki RG500 C has been over it and loved it.*
Artistic licence has a lot to answer for. As I young lad, watching this in innocence, and being none the wiser. Now, having ridden those roads, it's a glaring error!
Tilly Masterson's Ford Mustang was supposedly the first appearance by a Mustang in a major motion picture. The Mustang was introduced in April of 1964 and Goldfinger was released in December.
Cycolacfan is right , congratulations for your "non- american and no- english "movies culture!The first appearance of a Mustang is in a french movie: "le gendarme de Saint-Tropez" a comedy of 1964 ,starring Louis De Funès, on location on french Riviera in may-june 64, on screen in september...I think the red Mustang was a pre production but the hell i dont know how it came...James Bond is more famous than the french cop but Tilly Masterson was later for sure!
RIP Tania Mallet, died just a few days ago sadly (30th March 2019) she was Helen Mirren's cousin and didn't enjoy this film shoot as her movements were restricted by the studio while under contract and she was only offered 50 pounds a week (which she negotiated to 150 ultimately) so she went back to modelling (where she started before accepting this role) where she made more money per day.
Tilly's mustang has to be one of the first ever. The first model year of the Mustang was 1964 1/2, so early 1964. Goldfinger was released in late 1964. This scene had to have been filmed in late spring or early summer, soon after that car left the assembly line. And flown to Europe.
When JB movies took on the public by storm, Ford Motor Company (FoMoCo) took any offers they had for what was called "Product Placement". The popularity of the first two JB movies convinced the Ford marketing department that despite the damage to the Mustang, it would be a good marketing deal to offer the car to EON Productions. The rest is history! Incidentally, Ford "gave" two Mustangs for the movie "Bullit" which was to display the first and most realistic car chase in the Hollywood history (to that date). Ciao, L (former FoMoCo engineer).
@@stephendavidbailey2743 Hi Sean, that is because the 1964 Mustang was a "1965 release". Understand that a car line is put in production at least, and at the very least 6 to 9 months before "official release" and before Title registration. That is true for all American cars of that era. The 1964 1/2 Mustang was a "mid-year" innovation - that is why the confusion is... Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineer... retired).
@Mark Richards Hi Mark, agreed - back then, we (the big three and sometimes later AMC), we would send to our competitor (GM or Chrysler, in our case for example) a model of the "new car" we were about to release (usually 3 to 6 months before), this was done "under the table". Before we released the Mustang, we send to each model (prototypes of the 1965 without the bells and whistle) and they did the same... the ideas was to maintain a "status quo" in the production (at least on the outside). GM did not believe that our Mustang would work (they reminded us about the Edsel) and they saw their Corvair as their "young car". Of course, by the time each company would receive their competitor's offering - we were two years ahead since that was the design/finishing/tooling time. On top of that, there was a lot of spying taking place but the executives of these companies were so "top heavy" that the new information from a competitor would take to long to reach the decision makers. As soon as the production line got in gear for a generation (2-years for small cars, 3~4 years for larger one), we would start working the next generation (2~4 years in advance depending on the size/complexity/cost of the model) while another department was "fixing the glitches" in the cars in production. All the tooling, sheet metal, part molds had to be designed, build, tested. Then the assembly books had to be produced and the workers trained for the most efficient operation. We also had a several subcontractors that would take care of "specialty cars", ultra-high performance engines (427, 429 Boss, etc...). At Ford, our transition time where the production would be switched was between May and August - during that time, a buyer could get either year and many "hybrids" were made i.e. running out of parts from the previous year would force us to add/delete and/or mix parts from different year during that time. I hope you see Ford vs. Ferrari Movie - it is very similar to what I experienced during my internship at Ford. Those were the days! Ciao, Happy New Year, L
@Mark Richards Hi Mark - the Camaro/Firebird story is a nice one: Our Mustang was a sell-out, we had to open/retool another factory just to keep with the demand (which we did not at the time). IIRC, by 1965 year-end GM had lost ~10% in sales to Ford, Chrysler was worse. GM had to do something but the company was so large, that nothing could be done "quickly". The Camaro (code-name "Panther Project") kind of got designed by a group of dynamic engineers/stylists/experts that worked in a separate section of the company - of course, they had our Mustang prototype as a go-by and I think they used some Chevelle parts (especially interior) to expedite the production, the race was on! They released the car (the first few "samples") by late 1966 (the 1967 Model year) which was a record in the industry (like WW II days again). You have to understand that we (especially the engineers, designers, etc...) likely knew one another or had connections in other companies (many of us had gone through the same colleges) and many of us were seeing ourselves creating designs for Formula one, LeMans, ... We talked - stole ideas from one another, well... kind of! We all wanted to work on "secret company projects", but that was not as glamorous as it looked - Detroit was an engineer's dream come true back then - plus all the suppliers and "special ops" subcontractors around (Kar-Kraft, OJ Smith engineering, Bud Moore, Holman-Moody, ...), funding money was plenty and ideas were... well... "crazy" - it was exciting but it was not going to last and the bureaucracy was absolutely "horrible" (as you saw in the movie). GM had learned from our mistakes (our Achille's Heel in the Mustang was the front end (the spring towers out of sheet metal, reinforced were flexing/bending in), and we had a small engine compartment (based on the Falcon's dimensions). GM put a "half sub-frame" on their front end and allowed for large block usage. Our second generation Mustang had to answer that (1967~1968) and was a completely new redesign of the 1st generation - with the big block provision - plus now the race was on... the Trans-Am series had started (1966, I believe) and Camaros were gaining ground on us especially with their Z-28's which caused us to go back to the drawing board again with the Boss projects (1969~1970) ... Peace be with you, Ciao, L

i remember in the late 60s at the hotel across the street from Disneyland in the little shops. they had by the hotel a toy shop that had little cars in the display cases.they had this car the size of a matchbox in the case.the ejector seat on top of the car opened up,the front headlights pulled out to reveal little machine guns.but I don't remember if the wheels revealed the razor blades.wish I still had that car be a collectos item.
Never understood how Tilly overtakes Bond, so she is in front of him and just behind Goldfinger, yet in the next scene when Goldfinger stops his car, Tilly is BEHIND both Goldfinger and Bond!
an interesting fact is, that you cannot see the glacier anymore as in the movie.. the end of the ice is more than 2 km further back now.. greetings from global warning
dibdap237 I'm a year late or you stole my thunder a year earlier , but you're absolutely right . If it's warmer somewhere, it's probably colder somewhere .
hi Griff, you are truly amazing and I love your spirit like my dad's always trying crazy dangerous exciting adventures! I love you so much more than can ever be expressed no matter what you do or not do. gg
I sometimes wonder, if engineers get inspired by watching a scene featuring a gadget in a movie and get inspired to make it happen. This is a perfect example with the tracking device. I remember when I was a very young boy watching the old TV series Star Trek. Captain Kirk goes through his ship and the doors open automatically, and my Mother says “ this is so silly like that can ever happen.
The largest market for any movie of the time was the North American markets (United States and Canada), so most of the JB movies did have reference to these countries. Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineering dept).
The scenes ar compleetle in a wrong order as they sould folow the real road. In one scene, Goldfingers car drives in the opposite direction. goldfingers position in the map is wrong, th map shows hint on the Göschenrealp, but he's still above the village of Realp.
@@TheWilferch DB5: 6-cyl 4-litre 286 hp. Mustang early 1965 model (in recent years called the 1964½): 6-cyl 2.8 litre 101 hp. However, it looks like it has a V8 260 or 289 badge on the front fender. Then it could be anything from a 4.3 litre 164 hp engine up to a 4.8 litre high performance 275 hp engine, depeding on when it was maufactured. The last option occured in june 1964 and made those cars faster than the heavier 1968 Bullitt 390 cid 6.4 litre 325 hp engine.
@@matsflodin4943 Hi Mats, this Mustang was supplied by Ford Motor Company for "product placement" as were most of the cars used in the early JB movies. Ford used mostly what what would the public (viewer) would see/recognize on the movie screen - so the high performance "K" code engine with a 4-speed trannie cars (especially for movie stars) were out of the question. This car is a first generation 1965 (or 1964 1/2 for purist) car with the likely 260 or 289 engine. This car was to be "scrapped" so, "fancy options" were not included. Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineer, retired).
Can anyone please supply the grid reference of the scene where Tilly Masterson takes a shot at Goldfinger and nearly hits JB? Tried finding it on Google Earth without success.
Yes Bond stands exactly here 46.590438, 8.491821 --- driving down the Furkapass about 2km before you reach Realp --- have just been driving this road last week, see here: ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=x7MOqfqxjXY&feature=vm
Hi Isaac... Sean Connery did make the James Bond character. When he quit EON Productions, the James Bond movies change to become more of a "funny" if not "ridiculous" franchise with stupid jokes and unrealistic props. I lived that era and I was very disappointed that the JB franchise became more of a "kiddy show" for the millennial generation than a realistic masterpiece like it was conceived in the beginning (1962). Ciao, L
@Retro Lover ....reports say the filiming was done very early in ( or before) DB5 production and there was a spat between A-M and the film producers....many scenes were done with the almost identical looking DB4 made to look like a DB5. This might be of interest--> www.danjedlicka.com/classic_cars/1958_63_Aston_Martin_DB4.html ....within we find, " In fact, a Series 5 DB4 Vantage was modified as a prototype DB5 and was the 1963 Earl’s Court (England) auto show car, and the following year was modified for the Bond film “Goldfinger.”
It's funny, young kids on their own selling stuff on the road in the middle of nowhere must've been seen as something completely normal in the 60's, but look at it today it's like, where are the parents?!

Hi El Choya, I still have my Corgi Toy JB Aston Martin DB-5, what a classic!, Ciao, L
So was this scene actually filmed on the Furka Pass / Furka Road? If I went there would I see this same scenery today?
Yes.

Thanks
At one time I owned a 35mm Technicolor print of this feature film.
Rick steves Europe brought me here 😊😊
Beautiful images of Galenstock Hotel in Galenstock, Switzerland.

She's using the same AR-7 rifle used in From Russia With Love!
Never understood how Tilly overtakes Bond, so she is in front of him and just behind Goldfinger, yet in the next scene when Goldfinger stops his car, Tilly is BEHIND both Goldfinger and Bond!
RIP Tania Mallet. Pretty gutsy move for Tilly to take a shot at Goldfinger with someone standing between her and the target.
O MELHOR James Bond de todos os tempos. IMORTAL.
an interesting fact is, that you cannot see the glacier anymore as in the movie.. the end of the ice is more than 2 km further back now.. greetings from global warning
Meanwhile it snowed 3 times in the Sahara Desert within 40 years...
dibdap237 I'm a year late or you stole my thunder a year earlier , but you're absolutely right . If it's warmer somewhere, it's probably colder somewhere .
I have that picture in my bedroom, quality.
Superbe scène gravée en moi bien a vous
De Furka Pass ❣️❣️❣️😵
Aston build this car again :)
thank you GB
3:31 are you allright ? after that murder attack hahahaha
Discipline 007, discipline... ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧
Doesn’t that DB 5 sound beautiful when it pulls out of the side road to chase the Mustang
Yes. The carburettors sound awesome!
they across the pass in different directions.
hi Griff, you are truly amazing and I love your spirit like my dad's always trying crazy dangerous exciting adventures! I love you so much more than can ever be expressed no matter what you do or not do. gg
At 2:05 it seems that the carbine is a french Unique x51 bis caliber 22?
Back when it was fun...
I sometimes wonder, if engineers get inspired by watching a scene featuring a gadget in a movie and get inspired to make it happen. This is a perfect example with the tracking device. I remember when I was a very young boy watching the old TV series Star Trek. Captain Kirk goes through his ship and the doors open automatically, and my Mother says “ this is so silly like that can ever happen.
the db5 had the best gadgets..

Gps in 1965? Wow.
Wondering how popular Mustangs were in Switzerland at that time
The largest market for any movie of the time was the North American markets (United States and Canada), so most of the JB movies did have reference to these countries. Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineering dept).
@@lancelot1953 makes sense,thanks!
Hi JoJo, you are welcomed... I was a "intern" engineer at Ford (Ann Arbor Plant) in those days... The best years of my life. Ciao, L
The scenes ar compleetle in a wrong order as they sould folow the real road. In one scene, Goldfingers car drives in the opposite direction. goldfingers position in the map is wrong, th map shows hint on the Göschenrealp, but he's still above the village of Realp.
Wer chunt alles vo dä schwiiz ?
How was it that Tilly passed Bond, but Bond was between the two when she took the shot??
Re: the Mustang...based on what I see/hear I believe that is a D code Pony...meaning a six cyinder...how sad.
hey7 was a pre production Mustang and look how lumpy the seats were
And so is the DB5.... six cylinder....so what's the point?
@@TheWilferch DB5: 6-cyl 4-litre 286 hp. Mustang early 1965 model (in recent years called the 1964½): 6-cyl 2.8 litre 101 hp. However, it looks like it has a V8 260 or 289 badge on the front fender. Then it could be anything from a 4.3 litre 164 hp engine up to a 4.8 litre high performance 275 hp engine, depeding on when it was maufactured. The last option occured in june 1964 and made those cars faster than the heavier 1968 Bullitt 390 cid 6.4 litre 325 hp engine.
@@matsflodin4943 ....no doubt there was a dramatic HP difference.....just sayin' both were 6's....
@@matsflodin4943 Hi Mats, this Mustang was supplied by Ford Motor Company for "product placement" as were most of the cars used in the early JB movies. Ford used mostly what what would the public (viewer) would see/recognize on the movie screen - so the high performance "K" code engine with a 4-speed trannie cars (especially for movie stars) were out of the question. This car is a first generation 1965 (or 1964 1/2 for purist) car with the likely 260 or 289 engine. This car was to be "scrapped" so, "fancy options" were not included. Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineer, retired).
Furka pass. Where are the cyclists?
There were probably not that many at the time, not as many as today, I suppose.
Schon heftig wie weit der rhonegletscher auf dem furka zurückgeschmolzen ist in 50 jahren😔
Absolut. In 20-30 Jahren wird davon nichts mehr zu sehen sein.😔
Can anyone please supply the grid reference of the scene where Tilly Masterson takes a shot at Goldfinger and nearly hits JB? Tried finding it on Google Earth without success.
Yes Bond stands exactly here 46.590438, 8.491821 --- driving down the Furkapass about 2km before you reach Realp --- have just been driving this road last week, see here: ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=x7MOqfqxjXY&feature=vm
Luckily it was a quiet day with these maniacs on the road.
Moore remains the smartest James Bond. He is debonair, has gadgets and sense of humour.
ISAAC NEWTON Have you received a hit on the head by an apple? This is Connery. And he's a better Bond than Moore
Hi Isaac... Sean Connery did make the James Bond character. When he quit EON Productions, the James Bond movies change to become more of a "funny" if not "ridiculous" franchise with stupid jokes and unrealistic props. I lived that era and I was very disappointed that the JB franchise became more of a "kiddy show" for the millennial generation than a realistic masterpiece like it was conceived in the beginning (1962). Ciao, L
When society was still orderly....
MrStoneycool69 chasing cars around alpine hairpins is not orderly.
@@user-ky6vw5up9m I was referring to the 1960's period in which this film was made.
MrStoneycool69 yes, I know what you mean. I was being a little mischievous. Hope that’s ok regards.
That mustang nearly turns over on the first bend. Junk.

3:23 I wonder how she did'nt loose her teeth...
She's 'lucky to be alive'! Yes, without a seat belt! Lol
I wonder if the cowbells starting at 1:52 were added.
Yes cows are born without bells mostly.
What is the building in the background at 4.09?
The video ends at 4:09. You mean at 0:09? It is the Hotel Belvedere.
Btw my name is James B... - 'as quickly as possible' :/ B)
Aston Martin changes from DB5 to DB4 and back again.
@Retro Lover ....reports say the filiming was done very early in ( or before) DB5 production and there was a spat between A-M and the film producers....many scenes were done with the almost identical looking DB4 made to look like a DB5. This might be of interest--> www.danjedlicka.com/classic_cars/1958_63_Aston_Martin_DB4.html ....within we find, " In fact, a Series 5 DB4 Vantage was modified as a prototype DB5 and was the 1963 Earl’s Court (England) auto show car, and the following year was modified for the Bond film “Goldfinger.”
It's funny, young kids on their own selling stuff on the road in the middle of nowhere must've been seen as something completely normal in the 60's, but look at it today it's like, where are the parents?!
Odd having a left-hand drive American Ford Mustang in Switzerland? Even more strange, no one is phased by a gunshot echoing in the valley?
They'd seen the Mustang and presumed it had backfired.
