Ack! You stepped on one of the best Bond villain lines: "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!"
She's notorius for this.
yea that great line and all the others in this classic, I hope Ashleigh is now on the BOND express as this is just the start of gadgets and other great locations, Ive seen this one at least 10 x and until last few yrs Never knew all the scenes for "Miami " werent even filmed in USA and same thing for the KENTUCKY ones. WHAT a great rendition by the wonderful Shirley BAssey and she was still singing and has that powerful voice.
Maybe she’s avoiding another copyright strike. Ashleigh needs to be careful about stuff like because not everything’s of fair use you know.
No kidding.
Best line in the film and she skips it. 🙄
I'm kind of OK, or at least I try to be, with reactors talking over a key line. That was their honest reaction. Someone faking that it was their first time watching a movie could be really careful and never accidentally miss a thing. Someone who's not talking at all also would not miss a line, but that's not what we want to see. It still drives me nuts when I see it, but i'm also sure I missed lots of good stuff the first time I saw the movie.
It was implied that Pussy Galore gave them all the information when she called the Feds after Bond "appealed to her maternal instincts."
This exactly ☝️
It’s weird that that’s how he refers to it when what actually happened is Pussy was enthralled by the power of Bond’s magic schlong.
Pussy would have also swapped out the poison gas for something safer.
@@MerseyBeers Yes that indeed.
Movies back then didn't have to spell out basic plot.
One of my favorite little easter eggs is when the bomb is deactivated, the counter reads "007."
Electrocution of villains at start and end of the story! Also, Moneypenny's hat throw has better aim than Bond's!
Another fun fact: it originally was meant to read 003. Bond even mentions the 3 seconds in the dialogue (a continuity error left in the film) but the writers later thought it would be funnier with the 007 so the visual was changed.
I was just about to mention this!
That's not what an easter egg is.
@@glennwisniewski9536 It was the other way around. They realized it should stop, as an in-joke at 007 so it was re-filmed to show that, but Connery was not around later to re-do the scene so they had to leave the dialogue at 3 minutes.
Fun fact: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was also written by Ian Fleming. The female lead in it was named Truly Scrumptious.
And the male lead was an mad inventor called Caractacus Potts.... "Crackpot", geddit? :)
Yeah, but that was Roald Dahl’s idea.
AND the actor who plays Goldfinger also plays the evil Baron Bomburst in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
@@jwhaler82 There was a Lord Skrumshus (spelt that way) who owned the sweet factory in Fleming's original story, but there was no Truly. I guess Dahl invented her as a "love interest" for Caractacus Potts.
Now I wonder whether Ashley has ever watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
Fun fact: In the novel, Pussy didn't say "My name is Pussy Galore". She said "I'm Pussy Galore" and Bond replied "Sure you are, but what's your name?"
Reminds me of a story about the legendary English conductor Sir Thomas Beecham, who was famous for his wicked humour. When a singer due to appear with his orchestra fell ill, Beecham telegrammed her agent to suggest a replacement. When the agent cabled back the name "Martha Fuchs", Beecham replied: "I'm sure she does, but can she sing?".
Reminds me of a brothel I once visited.
@21:39 But we had been that deep. The deepest part of the Ocean was first visited in 1960 in the bathyscaphe Trieste, by a Swiss Jaques Piccard and US Navy Lt . Don Walsh.
Wait till she meets Alota Fagina.
@@ftumschk Your story reminds me of the time Sir Noël Coward met Edward Woodward for the first time, Sir Noël being famous for his bluntness said "Your name's Edward Woodward? Jesus man, that sounds like someone farting in a bath."
When Ashleigh says " Who Throws A Hat?! " she reminds me of THAT famous line from Austin Powers! :)
Honestly! :D
That REALLY hurt! 🤣
Who throws a shoe... REALLY?
Ashleigh kind of nailed about 3rd Powers movie title (what it sounds like😂)
My immediate thought was "She is now ready."
"I didn't know a gun could teach Judo." 🤣🤣🤣
Now, that's the REAL gold around here! 😂😂😂
Honor Blackman was a real-life black belt in judo. Somewhere I have a book "Honor Blackman's Judo".
"No, Mister Bond. I expect you to DIE."
Greatest line in the entire history of James Bond, all 27 films, and it's not here. 😞
Precisely what I was thinking! I've been noticing that she tends to talk over a lot of the best parts 😏.
It’s also one of the best Simpsons lines:
“Stop him! He’s supposed to die!”
@@Tconlon251_2 while that's a real line, the actual line was:
"No. I expect you to die and be a cheap funeral. You're gonna die now."
“If he has a weakness it’s puszy” you’re more right than you know 😂
That exclamation had me roaring.
After she said that, I said "She's going to eat-- Ahem, she's going to regret those words."
but does the expression he is a * , she is a *, mean she is something like a coward / a whiner ? At least today.
"Why is his name Oddjob?"
Because he performs random tasks
He deals with strange business.
I wonder how many more people have seen Austin Powers Goldmember and still have these jokes fly over their head..
@@LordVolkov And unusual objectives
@@davidsavage5630Also, the original Austin Powers with Random Task who throws his shoe
@@kellyp136 Shush!
I don't blame you for only giving them 3 stars. They really are an acquired taste lol. I think people just view them with a lot of nostalgia.
Jen Murray also had a "James Bond sex count" for every movie, so that's something you have in common. :)
The DB5 in this film is iconic. At the time, Aston Martin was facing bankruptcy, this film basically saved the company
I've still got the Corgi toy car with ejector seat, machine guns & bullet-proof shield.
@@Escapee5931same here. One of the original gold ones. I had the battery operated tin version from Gilbert. That got lost along the way. I also had the attached case and the 1:6 scale Bond figure with the rocket pack from Thunderball. A friend had the Bond road racing set that was a Sears exclusive. For a film series whose extensive sex and violence deemed it inappropriate for kids in the 60s (this was a time when married couples slept in separate beds on TV) there sure were a lot of toys.
Lead to one of my favorite video games of all time. "Spy Hunter"
@@richardb6260 People talk as though movie tie-in marketing only began with Batman '89, but in fact it went back decades before that. Britain in the 1960s was awash not only with Bond merchandise, but a vast amount of product connected with Doctor Who and all the Gerry Anderson TV series.
@@ThreadBomb Still got a Thunderbird 2 and an SPV somewhere I think.
There was a popular myth that the actress covered in gold paint died because her skin couldn't breath. She debunked it personally many times over the years, being in the odd position of repeatedly having to insist to the public that she was, in fact, not dead.
Though there was that issue in olden times paints having lots of heavy metals like led and cadmium in them, which could be bad for you.
Sounds rather like some people been convinced the Earth is flat, despite been shown repeatedly that it’s round.
They actually disproved that on Mythbusters. You wouldn't believe what Adam Savage went thru for that one, LOL :)
@@BruGaleen Though just the paint all skin part, not what happens if the paint is too poisonous for you
Margaret Nolan, an actress who appeared on stage and screen, had her body painted gold to project the opening credits of the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger. Nolan died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 76.
The greatness of this film, is that it set the standard for all of the ones to follow. It fleshes out the Bond character, and makes it the model for each of them, who come afer Connery. Even the villain, Goldfinger, and his assistant, Odd Job, provide a template for those to come. "Goldfinger", is THE quintessential 007 film! These are the things that make it a great movie!
The woman massaging Bond that gets slapped on the butt was Magaret Nolan, my sister lives above me with Maggie`s son, she was also the gold women during the credits at the start, RIP Maggie who died a week after Connery died xx
My uncle was in this movie! He was stationed at Fort Knox when they were filming, and he was one of the soldiers who fell down.
Fun fact about Mr. Solo, the gangster who was crushed. In the book Goldfinger (published in 1959), his full name was Napoleon Solo. The person who created the TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" liked the name so much he asked Ian Fleming if he could use that name for the star of the series he was producing & Fleming graciously agreed.
Wonderful to know.
The orginal name of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. tv show was SOLO.
Fleming did in fact originally come up with the man from Uncle Premis.EON was not happy about him working on another spy character. so had to leave the project.
Napoleon Solo was actually the original name Fleming came up with for his superspy character. When he showed the manuscript for the first novel, Casino Royale, to a friend, the friend said, "Readers will never pay attention to the plot, they'll only notice that name. You need to give the character a name that lets them move right into the story." So Fleming looked around his bookshelves, saw a book about birds by a British ornithologist named Dr. James Bond, and said, "That's so boring, it's perfect."
Real fight aren't like movie fights. They are chaotic and usually quick to end. It is good that sometimes James gets roughed up.
And then there is They Live.
"One jiggle too hard, that's gonna set the whole thing off" is definitely a line that belongs in James Bond.
"I wanna keep a James Bond sex count this time"
Um, you're gonna need a bigger notebook then :D
i hope she kept the sex count in the blache section of that notebook.
Metallurgy is the branch of science and technology concerned with the properties of metals and their production and purification. Hence, Goldfinger operates "metallurgical" facilities.
Or, in relation to the film, Goldfinger has his own smelter, for refining gold.
@@Britcarjunkie More like "Goldfinger hazh hizh own shmelter. For refining GOLLLLLLLLD!"
@@jrneal1220 🤣
@@FranzAntonMesmer Yeah ... and none of us would have left the bar of gold in the car that is going to get crushed, because separating metals and purifying them is a pain in the rear ..
The Aston Martin DB5 is a classic. When it returns for Skyfall, it is an epic memberberry
Ashleigh: you expect 5 star?
me: no Mrs. burton, I expect you to be entertained.
Ashleigh, the guy at the start of the movies is Bond. The camera's view is from the barrel of a gun (hence the rifling).
Yeah, in the earlier movies though it's NOT Connery. It's stuntman Bob Simmons.
This movie has a special place in my heart. Twenty years after this movie, my family got stationed at Fort Knox (I'm an Army Brat; I graduated from Fort Knox High School.) The house I lived in during the mid-1980s appears in this movie several times (On the maps, on the aerial shots, and even the model has my house on it!) I could see the Gold Vault out my bedroom window. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
That is so cool.
The things that Q is supplying Bond with just keep getting better as the franchise continues. For your reference, Q is short for quartermaster corps. Where the military gets its equipment. Of course Bond is getting all the experimental and really cool stuff. They always tell him to return it in working order, but he rarely does. Remember when these films were made, and how futuristic all the gadgets were back then.
I had a '77 Buick that had the oil-slick and smoke features.
It wasn't intentional, just had bad gaskets.
Now that is funny.
Starting with Goldfinger: The gadgets keep getting cooler. The villains keep getting bigger. The evil plots keep getting grander. The names keep getting crazier. The puns keep getting groanier.
Everything keeps getting....more.
Some are great some are duds. Enjoy!!
Just wait till you get to Moonraker and Dr. Goodhead...
So... over the course of the movies... it starts Bonding?
And I thought Christmas came only once a year.
@@Flamebeard0815 I am giving that pun a 007 out of 10.
I wonder if she will recognize Christopher Lee if she ever gets to The Man With the Golden Gun. Or many of the actors and actresses in the Moore to modern movies. She has seen several of the actors just older.
The actor who plays Felix is always changing, so I think it's fun to try and spot him in each movie.
Quite true.
My head canon is that Felix is not a name but a job title like 007.
@@jsharp3165 Same for me, Felix is just the name of the CIA agent that works with OO agents.
@@wasgreg Then why does David Hedison Felix comes back in Licence to Kill and invites Dalton Bond to his wedding like they're old buddies? The friendship between Bond and Leiter makes no sense if the different actors don't play the same characters. The codename theory makes no sense. You have to look at the changing of actors as a limitation of the film medium.
Q is by far my favorite Bond character. Desmond Llewellyn portrayed him PERFECTLY with his constant annoyance at Bond. I don't know if you'll watch all the Bond movies or not, but all I'll say is that one of the reasons Licence to Kill is one of my favorite Bond films is in large part because of Q.
One of the other influences of Austin Powers was the movies with James Coburn, "Our Man Flint," and then, "In Like Flint," which was mentioned as Austin Powers' "favorite movie," from, "The Spy Who Shagged Me."
"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No, Mr. Bond~ I expect you to DIE..."
Also, like Sherlock said, there's ALWAYS a switch 😅
A manservant is different from butler. As P.G. Wodehouse wrote about Jeeves: "Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman’s gentleman, not a butler, but if the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them.”
Quite.
A butler runs a household much like an office manager runs an office. A manservant, or valet, is basically a personal assistant specifically for their employer no matter where they go.
And as Wadsworth clarified in Clue: "The butler is head of the kitchen and dining room."
@@HermanVonPetri In 21st century terms, he would be called the "body man."
Thank you for pointing this out.
@CaptHayfever
Originally, the Butler was a highly trusted servant responsible for the household wine supplies. The wines were kept in a type of barrel known as a butt, hence the name. Over time a Butler's duties were expanded to include general management of the household servants.
Your ability to predict the jokes in this movie is top tier 😂
About the fight scene... Goldfinger came out in 1965. At that time most fight scenes involved just throwing punches and some Jujitsu throws and holds (it was very mundane). In 1966 Bruce Lee came over from Hong Kong and starred in a TV show called the Green Hornet. He played the side kick Kato. Bruce was an expert in martial arts and when the director told him to make up a fight scene Bruce started throwing all these kicks and punches and yelling. It was like nothing they had ever seen before. It basically changed how Hollywood choreographed fight scenes.
'Handicap' is a golf term, it refers to your overall skill in the game. It basically refers to points you are spotting your opponent
They're letting Goldfinger know, that Bond plays golf at about the same level as him, so he'll be more likely to go through playing the match with Bond.
handicap does not refer to strokes you are spotting your opponent, it refers to how many strokes you are from par.
Your handicap is based on the average score you post which can be above or below par. Par being the score determined by the golf course to play all eighteen holes, usually a par 72 round. You then take your handicap and compare it to another golfer. Thus a 10 handicap versus a 12 handicap means the 12 handicap gets two strokes so at the end of the round to scores are level. Most players have a positive number for a handicap while professionals like Tiger Woods might have a -4 handicap.
@@user-yn1sf9mq3z I know, but in non golf terms that seemed the simplest explanation.

@@lewsmith9708I like that your reply has a "Translate to English" button.
This is the movie where Bond becomes Bond as we know him. It just ramps up from here. Bond, I think, invented the one-liner quip as we know it. Fantastic film.
Odd Job sort of began a James Bond tradition of a super tough bad guy bond has to fight near the end of each movie.
You're forgetting Red Grant...
_Goldfinger_ is definitely when the franchise begins picking up some pacing. And Shirley Bassey's theme is iconic and so iconic she was brought back TWICE again, the only one to do three themes.
According to the documentary “If These Walls Could Sing” about Abbey Road Studio, Jimmy Page was a session player at the recording of “Goldfinger,” and witnessed Shirley Bassey basically collapsing after that last note.
And she recorded a song for Quantum of Solace that was inexplicably not used.
@@Rmlohner FWIK it was recorded too late to be used for the film and wasn't really intended as such anyway?
It also changed The Avengers when Diana Rigg stepped in for Honor Blackman.
Fight scenes are cheesy in western movies all the way to 1970s , first taste of Hong Kong style action is Green Hornet 1966 with Bruce Lee and he had to tune down .
Harold "Odd job" Sakata first movie and most known , not the first or last professional wrestler in movies .
Some underwater action? Wait until you get to Thunderball.
Or octopussy
Plus Vulcans
Don't think she is going to watch that one as she is going straight to You Only Live Twice. Shame, as I think Thunderball is the better of those two particular movies.
@@Sorarse b-but she said Thunderball and YOLT..
I think she meant Thunderball and got things mixed up.
One thing I love about movies from this time period is all the elaborate sets, huge models, sliding floors, hidden rooms behind huge sliding walls. It's so much fun.
For those who weren't around when this movie first came out it's hard to explain what a sensation it was.
The two worldwide sensations of 1964: The Beatles and Goldfinger/007.
@@blizzy6392 True
Basically the James Bond series seems to be the '60s equivalent of the MCU. A franchise of yearly released movies that, while often cheesy, had just the right blend of action, cool tech, sexiness and humor to be massively popular and have audiences coming back again and again. It was one of those dominant pop culture phenomena - the same way Star Wars was the following decade - that was so huge that it basically spawned an entire subgenre of spy action-thrillers, as others kept trying (and usually failing) to copy the formula.
Pussy Galore was in the opening credits in a large font. You missed it. 4:01 Harold Sakata who played Odd Job, won a silver medal for the United States at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London in weightlifting.

Be advised, GOLDFINGER is essential viewing for understanding the Austin Powers GOLDMEMBER spoof. But the main James Bond film you need to see to fully appreciate the Austin Powers movies is YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Don't stop watchng the Bond films until you seen that one, even if you have to skip a few to get there.
There's only two between Goldfinger and Live Twice.
No Bond is essential to watching Austin Powers. Even having seen no Bond you will get the cliches and have a good time, watching 007 simply adds more layers as you get the jokes. Austin Powers seems to be specifically focused on Connery era Bond. As far as I know, only non-Connery Bond film that has some greater connection is Moonraker, but I've also not seen any post-Connery movie in the series.
I'm so glad somebody mentioned this! Yes, "You Only Live Twice" is MANDATORY for a fuller appreciation and homage savvy viewing of "Austin Powers". If Ashleigh sticks to her guns about watching James Bond for the rest of May, "...Live Twice" will fall within that frame, May 31st. EDIT: I composed this as soon as Ashleigh had finished watching but before she gave her review. I have learned she will watch the next 2 Bond films, "Thunderball" and "You Only Live Twice", so she'll WILL "get" that major "homage" when she finally watches "Austin Powers". All is right with the world...this wee corner of it, anyway. 😁
She actually confirmed at the very end of the video that she's planning to cover You Only Live Twice the first week of June!
@@lawr5764 Only one? Thunderball? Unless you count the "other" Casino Royale...
"I never thought of dynamite as a verb." Ashleigh, you can verb anything you want if you language hard enough.

@@mattschliemann9683 not a spoiler moron! 🤡🤡ffs
A butler is the Major Domo; the boss of the staff an entire household whereas if you only have one servant he is your valet or simply, as Goldfinger says, manservant.
They can be different positions. With the Major Domo with overall supervision. With the butler focused on food and wine supervision.
oddjob does RANDOM tasks.
I would say he was more of a Valet.
See: henchman...manservant is a euphemism 😏
Also, British officers used horses called a "bat horse", and the adjutant in charge of taking care of it was called a batman.
6:18 Shirley Eaton is the only one survivor of all the Goldfinger's Cast
The actor that played Oddjob was actually seriously burned during the electrocution scene. That scream of pain was very real.
Pussy Galore is one of the greatest movie character's name. RIP Honor Blackman.
Don't forget she stared with Patrick McGnee in The Avengers, and I don't mean the Marvel characters. Diana Rigg replaced her and also stared in another James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
@@brianknight7897And Patrick Macnee was in A View to a Kill.
@@brianknight7897 Yes, I know and she & Macnee released a song together "Kinky Boots' back in '64, I believe. It became a camp cult classic.
@@brianknight7897 That's why they included a judo sequence with Blackman in Goldfinger. It was to please fans of the Avengers.
My mom used to combine Ms. Galore's first name and the second word in the film title and walk around the house singing it to the theme song.
And that's one to grow on.
Mom is quite the hoot!
pussy finger?
🤣🤣🤣
The Aston Martin DB5 from this film absolutely set the standard for all future Bondmobiles.
I was expecting a much bigger reaction to Ms. Galore’s introduction but still happy to see you had so much fun saying her name the rest of the film! If you think Odd Job was an imposing figure just wait until you see Jaws, played by the late Richard Kiel (an absolute gigantic but very nice man) when Roger Moore is 007 in The Spy Who Loved Me.
She's getting all the jokes before they're made. She's on the Bond wavelength.
It was mentioned that Pussy switched the gas on the planes after Bond had turned her around to the side of the good guys. She not only switched the gas but also delivered a message to Bond's allies to inform them what was going down so the CIA and the military could set a trap for Goldfinger to walk into. The first three films laid the foundation for the Bond formula. The next one is where it all starts to come together.
I know nobody has mentioned it but as your goal is to get to the Austin Powers movies, might I suggest that at some time you also take in the original The Italian Job from 1969. When you get to the third Austin Powers movie you will understand why I suggested it for your watch list. Still a way to go yet. Nice to see you gradually warming to the James Bond franchise.
Thank you for saving me the time to type all that😊
@@garymatthews4323 😂You're welcome.
Using her head as a shield was the ultimate.
Even though the first two films were popular, this was the one that made Bond a cultural phenomenon. This movie setup many of the "Bondisms" that followed in other films: lots of gadgets, the tricked out car, over the top villains and henchmen, suggestive names of the female characters, ect.
Desmond Llewellyn portrayed "Q" through all of the Bonds until "The World is Not Enough", with Pierce Brosnan.
"Positively shocking." One of the best Bond one-liners ever dare I say?
'' Shocking.''
I was shocked that she called it.
@@Bluesrockguy It was pretty obvious.
That is a good one, also Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me saying "Keeping the British end up." When asked what he was doing with the other agent.

Lois Maxwell, Miss Moneypenny played in 14 Bond Movies . One of the longest runs in the series .
She also did the voice for Lt. Atlanta Shore in the kids Supermarionation Series (Stingray), at around the same time as this film. Yet another character trying to win in the love stakes against stiff opposition.
This is my favorite's Bond movie. It is the movie that every other Bond film learned from. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Ahh... Goldfinger. A good check to see if someone saw this movie is go get into a room and go "Gooooold-FINger!" and wait for someone to go 'dahnaaaah-nah'
Surely you have heard of the evil mastermind gynecologist ... Coooold-Finger
Nope, never saw the movie but heard the Shirley Bassey song dozens of times on '60s radio...
Goldfinger is one of my favorite Bond movies. Gerd Fröbe is a wonderful villain. He was one of the great German actors.
Gert B. Frobe is also the name Christopher Walken uses as a cover name in "Joe Dirt".. 😄
Wasn´t he french?
When Ashleigh mentioned "James only has one weakness", she had no idea. LOL!
Talked right over the classic line "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
Perhaps the most incredible feat ever depicted in a Bond movie was James not only being able to cure Pussy Galore of her lesbianism but at the same time have her fall so completely in love with his manliness that she betrays Goldfinger and rats out his plans to the feds. I saw this movie with my friend Russ back when it was released in 1964. We had to hop the fence in his backyard and trespass though his backyard neighbor's yard to cut the walk to the theatre down to a mile or so. Neither set of parents would drive us to the theatre, as the word was out that the movie was indecent and not suitable for 13-yr. old boys, even with its PG rating. We, of course, loved it, and decided we wanted to be like Bond, or at least be as handsome, debonair, and masterful as Sean Connery. It was a memorable evening. Walking home in the dark on the shoulder of a two-lane blacktop road, some guy in a Corvette zoomed by us doing about 80 mph and grazed Russ's hip with his passenger side-view mirror. We both shrugged off his near brush with death with casual aplomb, quickly deciding it was how James Bond would have handled it.
Yes, they really down played the fact that Pussy Galore and her pilots were all lesbians as compared to the book. The biggest clue was the line "I'm immune" to Jame's advances.
Of course, the rating system was still a few years off, so parents had to go on rumours.
@@superChicken828 It's also why Tilly was distant from Bond.
Ian Fleming was hella problamatic about lots of things, but his portrayal of homosexuality was gross even by his low standards.
@@gregoryeatroff8608 It is an ever-shrinking segment of modern society, but there are still a significant number of people, usually religious, who will tell you being queer is a conscious choice rather than biology. The implication is that homosexuals, via therapy and a soupcon of that old-time religion, can change their stripes. Perhaps Fleming fell into that group who thought people chose to be gay, and therefore could choose not to be if given the right incentive. I have to believe gays find that view to be abhorent.
Dame Shirley Bassey was the singer for the title theme. Lord, how she got a set of pipes on her-- they use her for a lot of Bond movies.
This was the 7th Bond novel (1959).
Although it was only the 3rd film and the first of four Bond films by director Guy Hamilton, It became the phenomenon within the phenomenon.
Good story, theme song, dialogue, villains, girls, action, sexiness, etc.
007 was a much bigger number than before.
This was when it truly became a franchise.
Blockbuster-wise, theaters stayed open 24 hrs just to keep the crowds pleased.
Product-wise; clothes, cars, cologne or anything that was connected to Bond was being sold like crazy.
6 million copies of the novel series sold thanks to the film's success.
For the establishment of the Bond character on screen, it set the bar even higher.
I feel like you also need "You Only Live Twice" to get more jokes in Austin Powers.
I'm pretty sure thunderball is the only one of the first 5 that isn't directly parodied by austin powers.
I think you're being perfectly fair. These movies came out in the 1960s and 70s, before the big explosion of real modern action movies where directors and studios really figured out how to shoot that kind of stuff well.
I love these videos, thank you!
Keep in mind, movie codes prior to 1966 prohibited extremely realistic violence. That's when directors like Penn, Kubrick, and Peckinpah could begin showing realistic depictions of violence. Even though the Bond films were technically British films, which were allowed a little more room than American films, they were edited knowing that the United States was their primary market.
The James Bond franchise is totally winking at the audience the whole time with the crazy gadgets, one-liners, and over-the-top villains. The campiness is really part of the charm of the story. It really isn't until the Daniel Craig run when the movies start to lean into a more realistic portrayal. You kinda know what you're getting when you watch a Bond movie. And you're right--the Austin Powers movies really take all the tropes and joke potential and ramp it up to 11. You'll have a GREAT time with those.
Goldfinger is the first Bond film I saw at the cinema when it was released. Still my favourite.
This is arguably the best Bond movie ever made.
Girl, I love your humor, but you stepped on

Goldfinger:NOOO Mr. Bond. I expect you to DIE!
The moment. that was always the climax of the commercials for "Goldfinger" on the ABC Sunday Night at the Movies back in the 60s.
The actress who played Pussy Galore, Honor Blackman, became famous on a British TV show that was also shown here in the US: “The Avengers”. Her successor on that show, Diana Rigg, shows up in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” and her costar, Patrick Macnee, appears in “A View to a Kill.”
13:28 Given that you didn’t seem to notice the character’s name in the opening credits, this line hit particularly hard.
And no, it had nothing to do with the Marvel Comics team.
I made the same point in another comment but forgot Macnee was in another Bond movie. Sadly, the score is two dead Avengers to one living Avenger in three Bond movies.
@gerstelb ,, dont forget that Joanna Lumley was in "On Her Majestys Secret Service" & She would go on to play Purdy in "the New Avenges" Along side Patrick Macnee...
Goldfinger is when all the outrages names and spy gadgets became the James Bond essential ingredient for the movie
Briefcase damaged while examined = it exploded when they tried to open it. 😂
The idea for Bond's gadgets started with the revolving number plates. Then someone joked "what else? Why not machine guns?" And the team decided, "why not?".
They don't really get over the top until Roger Moore. "Moonraker" is peak camp.
moonraker is the worst roger moore bond film. i actually like all of the roger moore bond films, except moonraker.
I'm of the unpopular opinion that Roger Moore was the better Bond, but that Sean Connery was in the better movies.
as a kid Moonraker was my introduction to James Bond, it used to come on tv every so often
Hey Ashleigh, I really have so much fun on your channel. Yours is the only one I'll even watch reactions to movies I haven't seen. Thanks for always being such a delight to hang out with for a while.😄
Re. Geneva & pretty sights. You have to remember that the James Bond movie franchise doubles as a travel agency to glamorous or exotic tourist destinations, at a time when only the well-to-do could afford air travel and vacations abroad. 60a audiences lived vicariously through Bond. For most, it was the first time they saw these locations on film.
You did notice that when Bond stopped the atomic device, the timer said 007.
Now this one is really iconic
Goldfinger is the most quoted and popular James Bond movie throughout the franchise.
I was named after Sean Connery. My dad liked James Bond, and my mother liked Sean Connery
17:44 That's Honour Blackman. She was the second assistant to John Steed on the awesome 60's British spy tv show The Avenger. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel is the most famous assistant but Honour Blackman was the first big one. Highly recommend the show, especially the 3 Diana Rigg seasons.
16:36 The Auric Enterprises complex is actually Pinewood Studios, they just shot the chase outside of the sound stages.
Also saved them a shitton of money in production cost :)
"I am going to start a Bond's sex count.'
Honey, you will need a bigger notebook...
This literally has the classic opening song. And goddamn Shirley Bassey can sing!!
I think you have to view these films in the context of the time in which they were released. Watching them for the first time now in 2024, these old Bond movies must look and feel cliched and old fashioned, but that's because we're comparing them to modern movies and because we've seen all the subsequent movies that these first Bond releases inspired. Back in 1964, Goldfinger and Connery became a global phenomenon. Audiences at the time had never seen an action film like this. It was new and exciting, and the world went nuts for it. Its hard for us to imagine that now, 60 years later.
"...gone to the bottom of the ocean!"
-- "Hmmm... we haven't gone that far!"
Goldfinger was shot approx. 3 years after the descent of Walsh & Piccard into the Mariana trench at Challenger Deep.
Q being dyspeptic about Bond abusing his gadgets is a running gag in the series.
Stick with it, Ashleigh! They get better and better!
I like that the bomb timer stopped at “007”
Car-crushing: very similar sequence occurs in 'Superman 3' oddly enough. Some of the same guys worked on both films.
Also in "Top Secret!"😂
I'm glad you're hanging in there with the Bond films. You might like the Roger Moore ones a little more, because they get very campy. It's one of those, you either love it or hate it things.
I think Ashleigh falls into the latter category.
Octopussy!
One of my favorites i cant wait for u to react to all the movies we need a tier list after u get done them! ❤
This movie was such a hit in 1964 that theaters showed in 24 hours day.
