Imagine seeing this in the cinema when it was released. I was only a wee lad but this must rate as one of the best Bond films ever. The music made you shiver knowing that it would be action packed.
in 1964? that is a difficult thing to imagine, I remember 90s television and the coloring sucked, technicolor? its was bright and everything bled into each other. But as it was before all the movie tropes, Im really not sure how I would respond. Was the movie theaters only for cars or was there an indoor theater? Everything from those periods I watch are outside in a car and that sounds horrible tbh. but thats also because I have never legally driven, I live in a large city with a good transportation but at 35, I don't think I will own a car and drive anytime soon. So if I was alive then, I would have missed out as none of my friends had or have a car
I saw that movie in San Francisco when it first came out with my Father & Brother. There was so much talk about this movie at the time. We were as excited as kids can get. Didn't disappoint either.
they shouldn't have called any other James Bond, Ill say they were all garbage compared to Sean Connery, you're allowed to have your opinions, share them and dont be afraid of what people are going to say. Unless you're thoroughly English/Canadian, you shouldn't be this polite when sharing your opinion. It makes it look like you really don't think that way. Seems like you didn't want people to call you out....and no offense meant, that's what people call spineless. Be proud about what you say or whats the point of saying it at all?
I loved these old Bond movies. Seemed much more realistic in some ways, and more about the characters and story than many of the modern ones. Great actors!
I agree A lot of the more recent ones tend to be action/stunt set piece spectacle oriented at the expense of story and character. Craig's wooden acting doesnt help.
The first Bond movies kept closely to the original stories in the books, without too many gimmicks. Of course Sean Connery was easily the best Bond! Loved Goldfinger but I think From Russia with love is my favourite - both the book and movie.
@@shooter7734 Not to mention major advertising platforms. Sure, the Aston Martin is product placement, but it's not like we're gonna run out and get one. But the cell phones and such plebeian items don't need to be shoved down our throats while we watch a movie.
well they are from books, and they used to take time to write good books. Its been 50-70 years since it started. They don't have the same author and they don't come close to the same mind frame. its like night and day difference to expect anything but this would mean you're either stupid or just naive
1 explosion every 20mins in a movie is like 7 explosions per movie. that's not really a lot have you seen Rambo 4 Just in the final scene Not counting the hundreds of bullets (that are technically explosions) and not counting flame throwers There are 10 explosions within, say .. a 3 min period 1 every 20mins is like watching the 10 commandments Even that movie had explosions i understand the point you're trying to make, but,i think you're making it in the wrong way there's nothing wrong with an explosion here and there
I’ve watched this movie so many times. One of my favorite Bond films. I love how the caddie jumps right on board with tricking and fucking over Goldfinger. “We’re in this together, sir!”
Hawker (the caddie) has (in the book) apparently known Bond for quite some time: “His keen sardonic poacher's face split in a wry grin of welcome. 'How’e you been keepin', sir? Played any golf in the last twenty years? Can you still put them on the roof of the starter's hut?' This referred to the day when Bond, trying to do just that before a match, had put two balls through the starter's window.” Excerpt From Goldfinger - Fleming, Ian
@@frog12650thank you I always wondered at why there seemed to be such a familiarity between them, and why the movie dedicated a fair amount of time to a background character.
@@TheBarbahabathe most famous laser moment of them all... "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" Saw it at the cinema when it came out... nearly 60 years ago!...loved it😊
He was a real pro. In the fight scene in (fake) Fort Knox he burnt his hand on the bars but maintained his grip until the scene called for him to do so. What gets me about that is that they actually had real electricity and fire when filming the scene. None of this CGI nonsense. I assume they didn't use a real nuke.
boy you guys are sounding racist.....it still isn't the national game of Korea, that's basically Taekwondo, yes a martial art thing is considered a game as Games are called SPORTS here in the capitalistic world. But they play baseball and football more than golf, its not prophetic at all
@@blue24563 Agreed David! My interpretation of what Pakchu2 was saying was that it was prophetic that in the 60 years since Goldfinger was made Korea would go on to be a major player in both the men's and women's professional golf scene - and in the women's game, arguably tops. I don't see how that's racist - but rather a compliment to Korea and its amazing development since the 1960s.
It’s sequences like this in what was going to become a major franchise that made early James Bond so brilliant. I don’t think you could do a scene like this again - still brilliant.
Interesting clothes they are wearing. James is dressed as a fashionable early sixties gent, his caddie is wearing older working man's clobber from the same era, Goldfinger is wearing traditional golf clothes popularised by the Prince of Wales in the 1920s, and his Korean servant is dressed like one of the Japanese officials who signed the surrender document on board the Missouri.
He was my favorite actor but he passed away and dead people, well, they are dead. It's impossible for 2 dead people to play golf together, drink a martini and on and on.
Goldfinger der beste Bond/Film und vorallem mit den unvergessenen Schauspielern Sie Sean Connery und Gerd Fröbe. Unvergessen die Zwei. Sie waren eine Klasse für sich.💎💎
what was the message? I feel that what once was strong now is subtle and nonchalant. Is it that James bond will troll you, is it that these two are bad and baddies cheat? But then James Bond Cheated too, so maybe this strong message you infer was actually that every one cheats and even the good person is really a baddie too?
@@ravinraven6913Goldfinger cheated first - in the Bond moral universe it’s not who is a “killer”, but who “kills first”. Of course in the literal sense Bond will come out on top as a “killer”, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a killer “first”. First, he is a hero - in the moral order of things.
I suppose the message is “cheaters never prosper”, and the scene highlights Goldfinger’s character. He’s cheating at a game he has little skill in, just to preserve his ego.
@@angelajohnson6659 , sorry... Sean is great, but i dont picture him as fighter... Moore is towards the bottome for me, Brosnan was decent... but now Daniel Craig fits the mold, cool, confident and can kick ass
Always loved the way Goldfinger called out Bond when he pretended to know nothing about the whole incident at the Miami hotel at the beginng of the film.
"I never had a hankering to play golf, despite growing up in Scotland just down the road from Bruntsfield Links, which is one of the oldest golf courses in the world. It wasn’t until I was taught enough golf to look as though I could outwit the accomplished golfer Gert Frobe in “Goldfinger” that I got the bug. I began to take lessons on a course near the Pinewood film studios, and was immediately hooked on the game. Soon it would nearly take over my life. I began to see golf as a metaphor for living, for in golf you are basically on your own, competing against yourself and always trying to do better. If you cheat, you will be the loser, because you are cheating yourself."
President Donald J. Trump IS James Bond, and Goldfinger is THE DEEP STATE!!! Two golf balls one is a (1) and one is a(7), 17!!! Who was Trump's catty? Still works for him
@@CS-hd9xu Donald Trump constantly cheats at golf, even having himself declared course tournament champion at courses he owns based on scores he supposedly achieved playing at some other course and phoned in to the tournament officials (who are employed by him, and thus in a bad position to call him out on it). He jumps in his golf cart and zips down-course after insisting on going first so that he can move his and others' balls before the other players get down-range. Just a consummate and total man-baby of a cheat and a general bad sport.
@@woodrobin Yeah, you're criticizing Trump in the face of Biden being President. An actual buffoon who can't string together a sentence even if it were preprinted for him on a teleprompter.
Connery had it in his Diamonds are Forever contract that they had to shoot around his golf rounds in Las Vegas, where he alternated play between the Tropicana, LVCC, Dunes and Desert Inn courses.
He was named after a real man - Erno Goldfinger, an architect who designed a bunch of brutalist tower blocks in London. I've always assumed Ian Fleming built most of the plot around the name.
A golf game in an action movie? It’s actually one of the most important scenes in the entire film because it provides context to the action that plays out later. Here we have many converging factors: Bond meets his enemies and becomes intimately familiar with their personalities. Bond - and by extension, the audience - learn firsthand what makes Goldfinger a villain: he’s greedy, loves to win, and will cheat to do so. Without this scene, the spectacular action later loses some of its meaning and becomes background noise. Modern films would do well to slow down to let the audience experience these sorts of moments.
RIP Sir Sean. The best Bond bar none. Others have come close but none had the combination of humor and sense of danger to make the character work as well as Connery did.
Pierce Brosnan also had the charm, wit, humor, debonair appearance and physicality to be a fantastic Bond that's right up there with Connery's. Very memorable and iconic Bond Brosnan was no question about it.
@@alsimmons4504 Same here. I may have seen other Bonds before _Goldeneye_ , but _Goldeneye_ brought 007 to my attention in a big way...and then I played the video game!
Karl Gerhart "Gert" Fröbe (Froebe) (25 February 1913 - 5 September 1988), was considered to be one of the most important German character actors of the 20th century, he has also worked in many international productions. The actor achieved fame in the role of the child killer in the crime classic "It Happened in Broad Daylight" of 1958 and as the villain Auric Goldfinger. RIP

The greatest movie franchise of all time. A virtual time machine, window into our changing culture. Shows me what our world looked like, from my early childhood, to the present.
@@ravinraven6913 He actually didn't speak any english.... However the line where he gives the speech to the gangsters about fort knox, and he says "EXCEPT CRIME", was Frobe himself speaking, If you listen carefully you can hear the accent is a tiny bit different.
@@Phoenix258 That is an awesome bit of trivia! Just watched the scene and it checks out. It's a small change-you can hear it in the more rolling r of "crime"-but it's definitely his own voice. Thanks for pointing it out, great stuff!
David de Keysers dubbing of Marc Ange Draco in "OHMSS" is even better and then you have of Monica "Nikky" van der Syls dubbing of all the female characters over the years(starting with Ursula Andress in "Dr.No")- incredible work!

@bodie of ci5 : While MY favorite Bond film of them all is _From Russia With Love_ [1962], _Goldfinger_ [1963] is truly THE quintessential James Bond film, even though Blofeld and SPECTRE are not in that one. What a great Bond outing! 10 of 10 stars, easily hehehehe
@@greatwuta : Nah, _Goldfinger_ is like the basic template-model for a James Bond film at its best and most complete! _Goldfinger_ is way better than merely "OK." It's the best of the best in the entire film-series to this day.
@D. Robinson : _Goldeneye_ is Brosnan's first and probably best Bond film. He was a great Bond, but they should have put him in more better Bond films than only _Goldeneye_ .
The time during the arrival of the Bond films that each one was better made and brought a new benchmark to the genre. Case in point, the fabulous John Barry music that so accentuated the moments (Odd Job's entrance!) foreshadowing to us us viewers that bad things were about to happen and he was the one bringing it. Not too many gadgets to rely on yet and screen time allowed them to develop character. The biggest plus of all was the rich Ian Fleming material to cull from. It's not often that "perfection" can be attained but from "Dr. No" to "Thunderball", this franchise was hitting on all cylinders! One more thing, this was my first exposure to a series movie in which the same actor played the same character in a succession of films. The birth of the franchise I guess.
I love all scenes in this movie. No scene is a bad scene, they're all made to perfection. No wonder Goldfinger is the greatest Bond movie of all. I think Gert Frobe was the best villain of all Bond movies. The technology was at its start, but it was wonderful and understandable. Unlike subsequent movies that relied on the high-tech more than the story, it failed. Each movie should have a great script that really echoes the era with classical backgrounds, with car chase sequences and some high-tech adventure to be complimentary, not entirely the center of the story.
This scene always reminds me of my Uncle. He looked a lot like Goldfinger and frequently played golf at the town country club. Only he was Southern, a good sport and a gentleman (unlike Goldfinger). My Uncle would have grinned, stepped over and extended his hand to Bond in a warm jovial manner with a “how’re you doing!” and taken him outside for a friendly game of golf.
Bond used the same technique in the novel "Moonraker" against Hugo Drax during their bridge game and it was also used by Paul Newman against Robert Shaw in "The Sting". When your opponent is cheating, CHEAT BETTER!
The pacing and locked shots are refreshing. Nice to watch a scene and have time to think and appreciate what’s happening. Not being bombarded with zips, zooms and whams.
Sean Connery is Flemings Bond's in cinematic form. This scene perfectly covers several chapters in the book, which describe the golf game in detail, every one of Bonds shots, strokes and plays. Ian Fleming described Bond as a healthy, violent, non-cerebral man in his mid-thirties who was a product of his time (post-war). Fleming said "Exotic things would happen to and around him, but he would be a neutral figure-an anonymous, blunt instrument wielded by a government department.". Fleming agreed with critics who described Bond as an unthinking killer. Fleming also said He's got his vices and very few perceptible virtues except patriotism and courage. The screenwriters for Roger Moore distanced Bond from Fleming's original character with specific attributes and made him a seasoned, suave, playboy who uses gadgets and charm/humour to get him out of trouble, and was not a cold-blooded killer (as Fleming wrote), this was to please audiences in the 70's at the time which it did. Moore saved the franchise, and I don't think he could have done a version of Fleming's Bond well as Connery, but his unique take has been adored by generations of fans like Connery's. Everyone can have their favourite, but both actors should be celebrated as legends, as should Ian Fleming.
Funny Connery story. He was playing in a charity game about 15 years ago and was walking to the bar to get a drink when a drunken group from a table shouted 'Hey Sean, who was the best sex you ever had?' He gave the group a slightly disgusted look and carried on to the bar. A couple of minutes later he walked back past the table, turned to them in passing and quietly said "Ursula Andress, up the arse." Rest in peace you absolute legend.
I heard this one too, my father told me it years ago, he said he was at the charity game and the story got passed around everyone attending and got a big laugh, so weird to see it still being told after all this time.
The slow pace of this scene is refreshing. We need more of this in modern films.
I agree with you there. The slower pace of these old Bond movies is great to me as someone who wasn't even alive when they came out
The cognitive attention span of the masses isn't what it used to be.
I agree, that seemed to change about 15-20 years ago. The pacing of so many movies and TV shows is too rushed.. there's no time for suspense or to get the small details that makes it feel so real.

in 1964? that is a difficult thing to imagine, I remember 90s television and the coloring sucked, technicolor? its was bright and everything bled into each other. But as it was before all the movie tropes, Im really not sure how I would respond. Was the movie theaters only for cars or was there an indoor theater? Everything from those periods I watch are outside in a car and that sounds horrible tbh.
but thats also because I have never legally driven, I live in a large city with a good transportation but at 35, I don't think I will own a car and drive anytime soon. So if I was alive then, I would have missed out as none of my friends had or have a car
Saw it at Radio City Music Hall in NYC when I about 8
I saw that movie in San Francisco when it first came out with my Father & Brother. There was so much talk about this movie at the time. We were as excited as kids can get. Didn't disappoint either.
I did see it in the cinema when it came out - so good I sat there and watched it a second time ( you could back then ) .
Nothing against the other actors who played Bond, but Sean Connery was in a class by himself...
AMEN buddy
Absolutely right
If any of the others did Dr No.....there wouldn't have been a second movie.
they shouldn't have called any other James Bond, Ill say they were all garbage compared to Sean Connery, you're allowed to have your opinions, share them and dont be afraid of what people are going to say. Unless you're thoroughly English/Canadian, you shouldn't be this polite when sharing your opinion. It makes it look like you really don't think that way. Seems like you didn't want people to call you out....and no offense meant, that's what people call spineless.
Be proud about what you say or whats the point of saying it at all?
Your right but remember he was the first so we had no one to compare him to
I loved these old Bond movies. Seemed much more realistic in some ways, and more about the characters and story than many of the modern ones. Great actors!
I agree
A lot of the more recent ones tend to be action/stunt set piece spectacle oriented at the expense of story and character.
Craig's wooden acting doesnt help.
The first Bond movies kept closely to the original stories in the books, without too many gimmicks. Of course Sean Connery was easily the best Bond! Loved Goldfinger but I think From Russia with love is my favourite - both the book and movie.
@@shooter7734 Not to mention major advertising platforms. Sure, the Aston Martin is product placement, but it's not like we're gonna run out and get one. But the cell phones and such plebeian items don't need to be shoved down our throats while we watch a movie.
well they are from books, and they used to take time to write good books. Its been 50-70 years since it started. They don't have the same author and they don't come close to the same mind frame. its like night and day difference to expect anything but this would mean you're either stupid or just naive
@@shooter7734 I liked Craig's Bond.
The Best Bond Movie. For all Time.
When people could sit through a movie without explosions every 20 minutes
you must know that they still can
Shawshank and Green Mile
Maybe you're not watching the right films pal
I think it's more to reference the newer bond films
1 explosion every 20mins in a movie is like 7 explosions per movie.
that's not really a lot
have you seen Rambo 4
Just in the final scene
Not counting the hundreds of bullets (that are technically explosions)
and not counting flame throwers
There are 10 explosions within, say .. a 3 min period
1 every 20mins is like watching the 10 commandments
Even that movie had explosions
i understand the point you're trying to make, but,i think you're making it in the wrong way
there's nothing wrong with an explosion here and there
I’ve watched this movie so many times. One of my favorite Bond films. I love how the caddie jumps right on board with tricking and fucking over Goldfinger. “We’re in this together, sir!”
Hawker (the caddie) has (in the book) apparently known Bond for quite some time:
“His keen sardonic poacher's face split in a wry grin of welcome. 'How’e you been keepin', sir? Played any golf in the last twenty years? Can you still put them on the roof of the starter's hut?' This referred to the day when Bond, trying to do just that before a match, had put two balls through the starter's window.”
Excerpt From Goldfinger
- Fleming, Ian
@@frog12650thank you I always wondered at why there seemed to be such a familiarity between them, and why the movie dedicated a fair amount of time to a background character.
A classic moment in one of the first Bond films (I think). No need for fancy contraptions, lasers, car chases or guns. Just simple psy-ops. Brilliant.
indeed a classic though there are moments of lasers chases of cars and gUns in that movie too :)
which are also classical moments ..
Theres literally all of those things in goldfinger
@@TheBarbahabathe most famous laser moment of them all...

and in my opinion still the best bond out there
and that is coming from someone who was born in 1983:)
Except this was the bond film that saw the introduction of all the things you mentioned. Sean Connery even lamented this change himself in interview.
Oddjob will always be one of the best Bond henchmen.
He's still my favorite.
Best Character in GoldenEye as well
Tattoo was mini- Oddjob
@@mikepatrick5909 Wasn’t it Nik Nak? He played Tattoo in Fantasy Island didn’t he?
He was a real pro. In the fight scene in (fake) Fort Knox he burnt his hand on the bars but maintained his grip until the scene called for him to do so. What gets me about that is that they actually had real electricity and fire when filming the scene. None of this CGI nonsense. I assume they didn't use a real nuke.
"Golf is not yet the national game of Korea"
how prophetic of Goldfinger
And now they’ve had 5 number one players in the women’s game.
boy you guys are sounding racist.....it still isn't the national game of Korea, that's basically Taekwondo, yes a martial art thing is considered a game as Games are called SPORTS here in the capitalistic world. But they play baseball and football more than golf, its not prophetic at all
@@ravinraven6913 they are ranked 1 in women’s golf by a mile and have been for many years. How is knowing this racist? Are you just name-calling?
@@blue24563 Agreed David! My interpretation of what Pakchu2 was saying was that it was prophetic that in the 60 years since Goldfinger was made Korea would go on to be a major player in both the men's and women's professional golf scene - and in the women's game, arguably tops. I don't see how that's racist - but rather a compliment to Korea and its amazing development since the 1960s.
@@ravinraven6913 korea is part of the capitalist world einstein
It’s sequences like this in what was going to become a major franchise that made early James Bond so brilliant. I don’t think you could do a scene like this again - still brilliant.
Interesting clothes they are wearing.
James is dressed as a fashionable early sixties gent, his caddie is wearing older working man's clobber from the same era, Goldfinger is wearing traditional golf clothes popularised by the Prince of Wales in the 1920s, and his Korean servant is dressed like one of the Japanese officials who signed the surrender document on board the Missouri.
I was actually going to make a similar comment. I love Bond's outfit here and would def want to recreate it.
@mo zack I could see that. It's like when "Beat It" came out. Everyone had Michael Jackson's red jacket.
Nice comment. Well said Good Sir.
@mo zack Advertising in movies was a thing back then too it seems.
Were hats like that popular off the golf course to at that time? It's a rocking look that's pretty cool.in 2020 imo

Goldfinger der beste Bond/Film und vorallem mit den unvergessenen Schauspielern Sie Sean Connery und Gerd Fröbe. Unvergessen die Zwei. Sie waren eine Klasse für sich.💎💎
I love this scene, so simple in nature but a strong message.
what was the message? I feel that what once was strong now is subtle and nonchalant.
Is it that James bond will troll you, is it that these two are bad and baddies cheat? But then James Bond Cheated too, so maybe this strong message you infer was actually that every one cheats and even the good person is really a baddie too?
@@ravinraven6913Goldfinger cheated first - in the Bond moral universe it’s not who is a “killer”, but who “kills first”. Of course in the literal sense Bond will come out on top as a “killer”, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a killer “first”. First, he is a hero - in the moral order of things.
I suppose the message is “cheaters never prosper”, and the scene highlights Goldfinger’s character. He’s cheating at a game he has little skill in, just to preserve his ego.
@@jamesfrancese6091 No, hes a killer by profession. He'll kill first if it's the right move.

I always thought that if Oddjob had been a henchman for Blofeld, then he could have been named BloJob
LOL. That would have been too easy, like "Pussy Galore" or "Plenty O'Toole."
That is hilarious
Oddfeld.
Certainly fits the name of that Bond girl Pussy Galore.
But by that logic since he works for Goldfinger he should be called Oddfinger or Goldjob 😂
Always loved the way Goldfinger called out Bond when he pretended to know nothing about the whole incident at the Miami hotel at the beginng of the film.
Yes! I note it each and every time I watch Goldfinger.
‘Oh! You’re worried about me not giving you a return game.’ 😂
Now hear this Goldfinger!

What about that baby blue, terry towelling romper suit he was sporting at the beginning of the film?
"I never had a hankering to play golf, despite growing up in Scotland just down the road from Bruntsfield Links, which is one of the oldest golf courses in the world. It wasn’t until I was taught enough golf to look as though I could outwit the accomplished golfer Gert Frobe in “Goldfinger” that I got the bug.
I began to take lessons on a course near the Pinewood film studios, and was immediately hooked on the game. Soon it would nearly take over my life.
I began to see golf as a metaphor for living, for in golf you are basically on your own, competing against yourself and always trying to do better. If you cheat, you will be the loser, because you are cheating yourself."
President Donald J. Trump IS James Bond, and Goldfinger is THE DEEP STATE!!! Two golf balls one is a (1) and one is a(7), 17!!! Who was Trump's catty? Still works for him
@@CS-hd9xu The contrary, Trump is the perfect Goldfinger, just watch him!
@@CS-hd9xu Donald Trump constantly cheats at golf, even having himself declared course tournament champion at courses he owns based on scores he supposedly achieved playing at some other course and phoned in to the tournament officials (who are employed by him, and thus in a bad position to call him out on it). He jumps in his golf cart and zips down-course after insisting on going first so that he can move his and others' balls before the other players get down-range. Just a consummate and total man-baby of a cheat and a general bad sport.
@@woodrobin Yeah, you're criticizing Trump in the face of Biden being President. An actual buffoon who can't string together a sentence even if it were preprinted for him on a teleprompter.
Connery had it in his Diamonds are Forever contract that they had to shoot around his golf rounds in Las Vegas, where he alternated play between the Tropicana, LVCC, Dunes and Desert Inn courses.
I do love Sean Connery playing Bond… his ever present wry humour & effortless cool demeanour were perfect for the role.
I do like the simplicity of these times, “I am a villain and I like gold, so I’ll call myself Goldfinger!” Genius 😊
My mind wonders what sort of prostate exam Goldfinger would have preferred. His namesake perchance.
He was named after a real man - Erno Goldfinger, an architect who designed a bunch of brutalist tower blocks in London. I've always assumed Ian Fleming built most of the plot around the name.
paints people gold to kill them, such an efficient antagonist lol
@@AshleyPomeroy Actually, Ian Fleming went to school with Goldfinger.
@@Crumphorn And indeed, he hated Goldfinger's work so much he named the villain after him.
You can’t beat Connery, for he is legendary.
A golf game in an action movie? It’s actually one of the most important scenes in the entire film because it provides context to the action that plays out later. Here we have many converging factors: Bond meets his enemies and becomes intimately familiar with their personalities. Bond - and by extension, the audience - learn firsthand what makes Goldfinger a villain: he’s greedy, loves to win, and will cheat to do so. Without this scene, the spectacular action later loses some of its meaning and becomes background noise. Modern films would do well to slow down to let the audience experience these sorts of moments.
All those are reasons there needs to be a dub of this scene made with Donald Trump's face superimposed as Goldfinger .
RIP Sir Sean. The best Bond bar none. Others have come close but none had the combination of humor and sense of danger to make the character work as well as Connery did.
Potent combination of danger and sexuality. Dark brooding looks with dimples, sensual mouth. Just lethal.
Pierce Brosnan also had the charm, wit, humor, debonair appearance and physicality to be a fantastic Bond that's right up there with Connery's. Very memorable and iconic Bond Brosnan was no question about it.
@@alsimmons4504 I'm a Dalton kind of guy.
@@PR--un4ub Oh ok ok, cool 🙂
Brosnan was practically my intro to the entire Bond franchise and the character himself pretty much.
@@alsimmons4504 Same here. I may have seen other Bonds before _Goldeneye_ , but _Goldeneye_ brought 007 to my attention in a big way...and then I played the video game!
(5:55) Just the little "Gold Finger" jingles throughout this movie made it the perfect bond movie.
It isn't just Sean Connery. Gerd Froebe as Goldfinger is as masterful as it gets.
Karl Gerhart "Gert" Fröbe (Froebe) (25 February 1913 - 5 September 1988), was considered to be one of the most important German character actors of the 20th century, he has also worked in many international productions. The actor achieved fame in the role of the child killer in the crime classic "It Happened in Broad Daylight" of 1958 and as the villain Auric Goldfinger. RIP

It's no coincidence that goldfinger's first name is auric, which literally means "derived from gold". Also, the atomic symbol for gold is Au.

I like how Goldfinger stared at Bond, recognizing his voice. As he knew this was the one who made him lose his card game.
Ah the 60's, definitely a simpler time. When swapping out a man's golf ball without his knowing it sufficed for a suspenseful scene in a spy movie 😉
Sam Snead and Payne Stewart-the Goldfinger costumers nailed it here. Funny scene.
The first and probably most handsome bond to ever come.

I always liked this sequence because it's not rushed and there's no music. Just a slow, deliberate tension build.
EPIC!! One of my favourite scenes, maybe THE favourite scene. The pace and tone is just perfect.

It is incredibly hard to tell all of Gert Fröbe's lines were overdubbed. One of the best dubbing jobs in cinema history.
Now that is something I didn't know, and true, I had no clue it was dubbed it was so seamless
@@ravinraven6913 He actually didn't speak any english.... However the line where he gives the speech to the gangsters about fort knox, and he says "EXCEPT CRIME", was Frobe himself speaking, If you listen carefully you can hear the accent is a tiny bit different.
@@Phoenix258 That is an awesome bit of trivia! Just watched the scene and it checks out. It's a small change-you can hear it in the more rolling r of "crime"-but it's definitely his own voice. Thanks for pointing it out, great stuff!
At least he speaks himself in the german dub. That voice is perfect
David de Keysers dubbing of Marc Ange Draco in "OHMSS" is even better and then you have of Monica "Nikky" van der Syls dubbing of all the female characters over the years(starting with Ursula Andress in "Dr.No")- incredible work! Even so, Daniela Bianchi in "FRWL" and Molly Peters in "TB" were dubbed by Barbara Jefford.
Definitely the best of all the Bond films. It had it all.

@@greatwuta :
Nah, _Goldfinger_ is like the basic template-model for a James Bond film at its best and most complete! _Goldfinger_ is way better than merely "OK." It's the best of the best in the entire film-series to this day.
@D. Robinson :
_Goldeneye_ is Brosnan's first and probably best Bond film. He was a great Bond, but they should have put him in more better Bond films than only _Goldeneye_ .
The time during the arrival of the Bond films that each one was better made and brought a new benchmark to the genre. Case in point, the fabulous John Barry music that so accentuated the moments (Odd Job's entrance!) foreshadowing to us us viewers that bad things were about to happen and he was the one bringing it. Not too many gadgets to rely on yet and screen time allowed them to develop character. The biggest plus of all was the rich Ian Fleming material to cull from. It's not often that "perfection" can be attained but from "Dr. No" to "Thunderball", this franchise was hitting on all cylinders! One more thing, this was my first exposure to a series movie in which the same actor played the same character in a succession of films. The birth of the franchise I guess.
Sean Connery was so wonderful to watch. His posture and movement was perfect!
This is one of my favorite scenes in Goldfinger.

This man WAS Bond! No other actor came even close to the standard he set. RIP Sir Sean Connery.
I love all scenes in this movie. No scene is a bad scene, they're all made to perfection. No wonder Goldfinger is the greatest Bond movie of all. I think Gert Frobe was the best villain of all Bond movies. The technology was at its start, but it was wonderful and understandable. Unlike subsequent movies that relied on the high-tech more than the story, it failed. Each movie should have a great script that really echoes the era with classical backgrounds, with car chase sequences and some high-tech adventure to be complimentary, not entirely the center of the story.
Bond : Oh bad luck you're in the rough ! RIP Mr Connery that was the best golf game i have seen in the cinema !!!
This scene always reminds me of my Uncle. He looked a lot like Goldfinger and frequently played golf at the town country club. Only he was Southern, a good sport and a gentleman (unlike Goldfinger).
My Uncle would have grinned, stepped over and extended his hand to Bond in a warm jovial manner with a “how’re you doing!” and taken him outside for a friendly game of golf.

Nobody does it better .... than Mr Connery. Best Bond ever.
He was best at everything, why limit him to just James Bond? He was even the best Indiana Jones, as Ford was character was Indiana JR.
Sean Connery is Flemings Bond's in cinematic form. This scene perfectly covers several chapters in the book, which describe the golf game in detail, every one of Bonds shots, strokes and plays. Ian Fleming described Bond as a healthy, violent, non-cerebral man in his mid-thirties who was a product of his time (post-war). Fleming said "Exotic things would happen to and around him, but he would be a neutral figure-an anonymous, blunt instrument wielded by a government department.". Fleming agreed with critics who described Bond as an unthinking killer. Fleming also said He's got his vices and very few perceptible virtues except patriotism and courage. The screenwriters for Roger Moore distanced Bond from Fleming's original character with specific attributes and made him a seasoned, suave, playboy who uses gadgets and charm/humour to get him out of trouble, and was not a cold-blooded killer (as Fleming wrote), this was to please audiences in the 70's at the time which it did. Moore saved the franchise, and I don't think he could have done a version of Fleming's Bond well as Connery, but his unique take has been adored by generations of fans like Connery's. Everyone can have their favourite, but both actors should be celebrated as legends, as should Ian Fleming.
When people had long enough attention span to watch a scene like this without getting bored or losing the plot.
Funny Connery story. He was playing in a charity game about 15 years ago and was walking to the bar to get a drink when a drunken group from a table shouted 'Hey Sean, who was the best sex you ever had?' He gave the group a slightly disgusted look and carried on to the bar. A couple of minutes later he walked back past the table, turned to them in passing and quietly said "Ursula Andress, up the arse."
Rest in peace you absolute legend.
I heard this one too, my father told me it years ago, he said he was at the charity game and the story got passed around everyone attending and got a big laugh, so weird to see it still being told after all this time.
The acting is great but its wonderful to have great dialogue.
