Thumbs up to the Goldengirl poster.
Wait, why did they even bother with dubbing people? Was it because they were German and we still had some beef with the Germans because of the Cold War and Berlin Wall?
You mentioned Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins... It's a completely forgotten film and nobody I ever mention it to has ever heard of it. Please do an episode on it... PLEASE! Review its beauty in all of its majestic magical and amazing glory!
This is by far my favorite bond film, great review! Also I hate playing against Oddjob in Goldeneye too, unless of course Big head mode is turned on.
Just wondering, Snob: are you planning on reviewing every single James Bond film ever made? If so, you've got a LONG way to go.
"Wow, some movies are movies, but Goldfinger is a *fuckin'* movie." Instantly one of my favorite Snob lines.
Wait, Sean Connery died on the 31st of October?
DAMN YOU MICHAEL MYERS!!!
James Bond vs. Michael Myers
WHY ISN’T THERE A MOVIE OR COMIC OF BASED ON THIS!?
But what about Ben Tramer!?
Obviously James Bond is just a code name used by secret agent Ben Tramer.
@@johnnyd3158 Epic Rap Battles of History did James Bond versus Austin Powers, that's a *kind* of Michael Meyers!
@@johnnyd3158 if it makes better erb made video James bond vs Austin powers
In memory of two legendary stars who gave us not only two of the most iconic characters in the James Bond franchise, but two of the greatest characters in cinema, let's watch the Cinema Snob riff those performances. RIP Sean Connery and Honor Blackman.
Let’s face it Honor was the epitome of sophisticated hotness
Let’s not forget Shirley Eaton; she was smoking hot
Well, of course Goldfinger lost in the golf game. Good grief, challenging a Scotsman to golf. Might as well challenge a Texan to a BBQ cook-off.
Well, when you put it that way it makes even more sense he lost now LOL
22:12 those aren’t just extras... they’re the actual troops stationed at Ft. Knox. My uncle was one of the soldiers.
I think this movie still contains the plot and characters most people think of when you say "James Bond."
Wilkins: Do you like Wilkins Coffee?
Wonkins: No
Wilkins: Throws Oddjob hat at him
"Things just seem to happen to people that don't drink Wilkins coffee."
Thats my name.
Around a year after Goldfinger premiered in the U.K. an episode of The Avengers, called ‘Too Many Christmas Trees’ was shown. In it Steed receives a Christmas card from Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman’s character on the show) and in a nod to Goldfinger says
“Mrs. Gale! Ah, how nice of her to remember me. What can she be doing in Fort Knox?”
The only thing better than a James Bond movie is Brad Jones making fun of a James Bond movie.
Hmmm... I never realized how similar their names look together.
Rest in peace to Sean Connery
My dad was a dedicated bond fan since the series started in 1962
If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have become a fan either
Crazy how Connery retired from acting 20 years ago
He’s one of the greatest actors who played James Bond and will be missed
Yup, turning down the role of Gandolf to star in league of extraordinary gentleman...well, it would be convincing that the cinema world has changed
Outland is such an underrated sci-fi adventure
Yes!! I had never heard about it, when I watched it online 15 years ago. I really enjoyed it!!
It helped that I had no expectations before watching.
If you love Connery, check it out!!
Cheers from Canada
I wish we got to see Connery himself face off against Hank Scorpio
But not before doing some shopping in the hammock district!
@@DeO316 can you recommend a good store there for buying a hammock?
Maybe Hank Scorpio would have persuaded him to change sides. Maybe in exchange for owning a football team.
Not only the best Bond, but one of the best movies ever.
I firmly believe that James Bond would not be the phenomenon it is today, if it wouldn't have been for Sean Connery's incomparable charisma.
*"Bond, James Bond."*
*YOU know who's voice you read that in.*
Paul Rudds
Zapp Brannigan's
@@DeO316 But Zapp Brannigan will return in "Zapp Brannigan and the velour fog"
Beaker.
I can't wait for the Snob's renditions of "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Die Another Day", "Another Way to Die" and, just because, "No Time to Die".
Let's all agree that odd job is the best character
I laughed so hard at Brad’s version of the theme song!
Gooooooldfingeeeeer
He's an asshoooole
"Goldfinger" is my favourite Sean Connery-era 007 movie.
This review of one of my favorite movies, with one of my favorite actors, made my birthday. RIP Sean Connery, you will be missed.
Welcome to the third and arguably the best James Bond film of the entire franchise! Sean Connery was undeniably the epitome of suave and cool throughout the first 5, Diamonds Are Forever, and Never Say Never Again. Rest In Peace to our first and greatest Bond ever! 😢🌹
My favourite fact about this film is that M is Jonny Lee Miller's granddad.
So that's where he got his Lee from. Bernard Lee
My mind has just exploded. I didn’t know this but there are many other random actor connections in Bond, including:
- Bill Tanner in the Craig era is played by the son of Roy Kinnear (Veruca Salt’s dad)
- “Moneypenny” in the Craig films is the daughter of George Harris (Kingsley Shacklebolt in Harry Potter)
- the guy Bond fights in Osato chemicals in You Only Live Twice is Dwayne Johnson’s grandad
Just watched this film yesterday. With Michigan being locked down again. Not a moment too soon.
I'm also from Michigan, if you can't go to work, just watch more James Bond.
Any use of Looney Tunes is golden.
Alright who’s with me on all the Bond films should be covered over the next two years. Or at least up until License to Kill
I absolutely second this idea.
Yes, I could not have put it better myself; I consider that all James Bond motion pictures that were made until the very end of the 1980s make up their classical era, what with their being produced at the time of the Cold War and everything else.
Your idea is solid, however, I will freely admit I would not be a fan of James Bond without the masterpiece that is GoldenEye... the 1997 Nintendo 64 video game. XD
Excellent cut-off date. Right before the series became self-aware, and when it became torn between embracing the tropes/history and constantly trying to defy them. To nothing but mixed at best results. Casino Royale '06 is the only post-80s film in my viewing rotation. The last Bond film that really had something to say, or that took any chances whatsoever.
@@CSSLZT13 The film is OK. But I'm all for an in-depth review of the game. Far, far better than the movie.
Definitely one of my top 5 favourite Bond movies, and Bond theme tunes. R.i.p Sean Connery.
Equal parts funny and nostalgic with a fitting tribute at the beginning, I love how Brad never lost the Snob persona while talking about this film and having nothing but praise for it. I could honestly talk about how much I loved this episode for hours. This is definitely not just the best Snob episode of 2020, but one of the best in the entire series.
Speaking of badass things and stuff... that Golden girl poster, that.
Co-starring future Bond villain Karl Stromberg.
Surprised that the Snob didn't point out the almost-but-not-quite-edited-out, blink-and-you'll-miss last Korean commando accompanying Goldfinger on board the plane at the end.
Maybe one day the deleted scenes of Bond fighting him might materialise one day. There’s a deleted scene literally used in the title sequence, so there could be a chance it still exists somewhere.
I really hope that Snob reviews The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu!
Me too.
A true movie snob to be able to reference Dr Fu Manchu. Also great early Helen Mirren. How many times has she played Queen Elizabeth?
Thank you for this. Your intro and celebration of his talent is greeted by an approving nod among all of his fans
It was amazing, indeed one of snob’s best moments!
The Perfect Bond Film. I don't care what anyone says. It's the film that solidfied Bond into pop culture. It's my favourite.
Kind of want to rewatch it, but in terms of priority, I feel like I may never get to it with all the other stuff I need to watch or rewatch (Big Hero 6 is in my top 10 atm, though I'm also shifting around what I'm prioritizing sometimes, like 8 Crazy Nights, followed by possibly Casper Meets Wendy, very weird range)
I live in Vallais, Switzerland. Where that whole Swiss car chase scene was filmed. You are so right about it being beautiful. You would be interested to see how little it has changed.I
PM.
Rip to one of the kings of cool you'll never be forgotten either as a Brit spy James Bond or an Egyptian Spanish name Ramírez I hope the martinis are good the beauties are blonde and cigars are the best tasting Cubans in the world where you are
As a young kid I grew watching Pierce Brosnan play James Bond in The 1990s, and in The 2000s. Nonetheless Sean Connery was, and still is The Original James Bond. #RIPSeanConnery My oldest brother played as Odd Job on Goldeneye, thank you very much. Somebody throwing a trashcan at somebody else, is like Random Task from Austin Powers throwing a shoe at people.
"Oh!!! He will just go on twitter and claim that he won anyway.. "
This one got me.. 🤣🤣🤣
He is always the best of us Sean Connery was the first bond and the first 1 with the db5
Ah, yes. The one with Connery in the terry cloth onesie.
Sean Connery one of the all time greats.
Goldfinger is one of perhaps 3 James Bond films I can think of where all the elements so perfectly lined up that lightning was captured in a bottle.
In case you were wondering GoldenEye and Skyfall are the other two in my opinion. Or you could put The Spy Who Loved Me for you Roger Moore fans.
Although I haven't seen maybe a quarter of the Bond movies, Skyfall is my least favorite of all the ones that I saw.
Goldeneye? I’m not going to argue it spawned the best James Bond game ever, but the movie is hardly a classic.
@@neildennis7294 I actually like the cinematography in golden eye. It's an action film that you understand exactly what's going on with a bit of slapstick comedy. It also feels less unrealistic and more camp. That's what a good bond is imo. I don't think it's great...but considering what we got after ...yeah I think it's worth rewatching with fresh eyes
My trinity of Bond perfection is From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
@@ricardocantoral7672 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is one I’m still undecided about if only because I’m not sure how I feel about George Lazenby. Had it been Connery or Roger Moore, then oh yes. The novel on the other hand I would put with Moonraker and Casino Royale as the best Bond novels
Outland is great, go see it;
It's a prime example of that ever underrated genre of guys doing regular blue-collar jobs but in space.
You should do some of the James Bond cash ins like Michael Caine's Harry Palmer trilogy or attempted revival of Bulldog Drumond with Deadlier than the Male and Some Girls Do.
Michael Caine would be great Bond, so I like his Harry Palmer very much. In the first movie, at least. It has Gordon Jackson in it! But I would like his Bond rendition being more in line with Get Carter.
You great disservice to The Ipcress File by saying it's a "cash in". That was a brilliant psychological journey into the cold, unforgiving landscape of the Cold War. Palmer was a major presence but he felt like a tool being manipulated by people who couldn't care less if he died. No Bond movie has done better.
@@jakublulek3261 I am glad Caine never put on the tux because it would have been a step down from Palmer. He is so much cooler as Harry.
@@ricardocantoral7672 I'm sorry. Didn't mean to denegrate that series. I probably shouldve mentioned Matt Helm or the Flynt movies instead.
@@Campbellzilla No problem.
Man, now I want Snob to review Remo Williams
starring Wilford Brimley
Guy Hamilton was supposed to direct the 1978 Superman film but he had to turn down the gig because he was a Tax Exile. He was also offered the chance to direct the 1989 Batman film but he turned in down.
You’ll always be in our hearts Sean.
Goldfinger’s plan in this blew my mind.
_Goldfinger_ was so good that Eon Productions just said "fuck it, we'll remake it" instead of creating new plots for James Bond movies.
Subsequent Bond movies followed the style of Goldfinger but there were exceptions such as On Her Majesty's Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, amd the two Dalton era films.
They lifted elements of Goldfinger, such as the henchman, gadget laden cars, a bombastic title song, gadgets, a 3 Bond girl combo, a pre-title sequence separate from the narrative, but elements of the n story have been swapped out.
View to a Kill is the one that comes closest the copying Goldfinger directly, and quite a few are barely anything like it.
A Class Act opening snob that only you could deliver, so Many Thank You for that! 🙏 😢
Sir Sean will always be an Icon of Icons that was a pillar of our pop culture world. No better way to celebrate his legacy here then with one of his best films every, Sean will Live with us Always!
Love these Bond reviews.
Came for Goldfinger stayed for the JCPenney Days sale

🤣
George Reeves IS Superman; Adam West IS Batman; and Sean Connery IS 007 - James Bond....3 best Bond themes: 3. Goldfinger 2. The Spy Who Loved Me and 1. Live And Let Die
Also found out the Champagne leader of the flight carrying out “Rock-a-bye baby”, played by Aleta Morrison, also passed away earlier this year.
Goldfinger is the template classic Bond film and my personal favourite. Great villain, great henchman, great Bond girls, great song, great score, clever villain’s plan and a cool as hell car. The only things that haven’t held up are the special effects (sped up footage) and Bond’s rather harsh treatment of women.
Goldeneye is my favourite Bond movie. But Connery is definitely the best Bond
You just know Goldfinger had been looking forward to that ‘pressing engagement’ gag for ages. IMO it’s concrete proof he wanted Bond to escape his cell and at least one of the mobsters to back out of the deal. All so he could whip out that zinger.
Interesting bit of trivia, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) was session musician in the mid-60s and played the guitar part on the Goldfinger theme.
That car still looks fucking incredible
Austin Powers made a lot of references to Goldfinger over its three film run. I noticed several, including that scene where Bond sees an assassin reflected in a woman's eye and uses her as a meat shield. And they ripped off Oddjob almost entirely, doing nothing but replacing the hat gag with a shoe gag.
"That REALLY hurt! Who throws a shoe?! Honestly!"
That being said, any chance you might do Austin Powers at some point in the future?
My favorite Bond film too!
Give us more James Bond please!!!!
15:18 Funny how this scene get parodied with even more implausible ways to escape this predicament, and the original they just stop the laser
Was waiting for these to resume. Awesome! 👏
Nice to see Brad explores the special features on his Bond discs.
Don't forget the movie that bombed so hard it ended his career the league of extraordinary gentlemen but all jokes aside rest in peace Sean Connery we will miss you
It didn't kill his career so much as Sean said he was done with movies after that fiasco. Honestly if he can survive "Zardoz", he could survive the LEG.
@@umachan9286 I know that but it doesn't change the fact that the movies poor performance at the box office was just another reason for the actor to contemplate on retirement
He took the role because he kept turning down all these big roles since he didn't understand them, so he assumed he was wrong with LXG. He wasn't, so he gave up. He decided he didn't understand moviegoers anymore.
@@almightycinder that sounds more logical
I love this movie!!
00:05:18 Leiter numbers 5 & 7 in the picture are both David Hedison. He played the role twice. 16 years apart.
"Oh, he'll just go on Twitter and claim he won anyway."
TAKE MY LIKE, YOU BASTARD!
This was my first James Bond movie too, and yes it is the best one
That nut allergy joke is *chef kiss.*
15:55
I didn't know the Neighbors from, 'Married with Children' did commercials!
Radical dude!!
It’s nice to see you continue your series of ”movies so good they're great.”
Of course we had to mention OP Oddjob from Goldeneye 64. And that old TBS promo brings back memories. Watching old sitcoms with mom and dad then some looney tunes
Don't have a poster for Goldfinger no problem, Golden Girl to the rescue.
Great tribute.
This was the first james bond movie I saw all the way through instead of different times during dull Saturdays when I channel surfed for anything, I even went as far as watching Ishtar. Which makes me think why Brad hasn't covered Ishtar since it's its own cinematic infamy and being an 80s flick is a winning cinema snob combo.
RIP CONNERY!
3:06 Sean is So Cool & BadA$$ in that moment that he makes even the words Cool & BadA$$ green with envy over him! 😎
FINALLY! Someone else who made the "Brown finger" connection.
Also, RIP sir Sean Connery
"Unfortunately, Bond doesn't Junior there to suggest jumping out of the plane on a raft..."
Okay, who else at first thought this was some reference to the JAMES BOND, JR. cartoon, and took awhile to realize he was talking about Indiana Jones?
Well, gee, who else do we know is obsessed with gold and cheats at golf?
But seriously, RIP Sean Connery. The man who made Bond a legend.
@Cinema Snob
The flight at the end was from Kentucky to D.C. - there was no island! 🤪
Thanks for bringing up the Mythbusters taking up the gold paint. I was thinking about that.
I love this! Please never stop making these videos!
Goldfinger cheats at golf? He should run for President!
Goldfinger was the first great Bond movie imo
PlutoTV has a 24/7 bond channel legally can watch. Doesn't just show connery era but does from time to time and on their demand has to. All free and legal.
I do love this movie 😁
Love that Agent Kelso cameo.😊
11:01 I'm 54 Nowadays and Got To see The Fiendish Plot Of Fu Manchu In theaters back then times.
so much respect paid to Sean Connery in the first 3 minutes and 10 seconds with just voice over, that when it finally cuts back to Cinema Snob at 3:11, everyone is like "Oh right, bald guy in a chair, I totally forgot what I was watching"
It's funny that one of the best Bond films has the villain's big plot being one that became outdated less than a decade later, when the U.S. completely abandoned having its currency's value tied to its gold supplies!
Your story about growing up watching a recorded tv version reminds me of our versions of Willow and Batman Returns. The channel we recorded them from cut a lot of stuff out at random. So watching my dvds of them FEELS like watching a special edition dvd with all the new (to me) scenes.
An excellent review. Goldfinger is a wonderful Connery film which is right up there with Diamonds Are Forever.
A fellow DAF enthusiast, I see. I honestly thought I was the only one who held it up highly amongst Connery’s best.
@@joshslater2426 Neat.
James Bond and The Cinema Snob will return in Thunderball review plus some Tom Jones music too!
I do hope we continue with reviewing the 007 series
LOVE IT!!
14:03 Its cool that James bond referenced GTA 5 with the ejection seat.
IT'S SO CHOICE! | “George Martin sends his regards.” Awesome!

See that, Brad? You've still got 24 more films to review. Keep 'em coming. I'm not trying to sound pushy, btw.
I still keep calling that guy Random Task
Im probably the odd man out here. You mentioned many great features that Sir Connery graced with his acting. But for me he will always be Marko Ramius. Welcome to Miami nice i actually liked Police Academy 5 alot. It did have that its so bad its great quality to it.
