The one pop culture parodies the most.Goldfinger, directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Sean Connery, is the third film in the James Bond franchise by Eon Productions, released on September 18, 1964. It was the first film in the series to feature a song as Title Theme Tune, by Shirley Bassey, launching a trend for the majority of the following films.James Bond has to investigate around the shady businesses of tycoon Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe), who has an obsession for gold and a network that stretches from Switzerland to the USA. Bond soon uncovers a sinister plot with the US Bullion Depository at Fort Knox as target...Has several famous scenes that have been subjected to countless parodies, including: Goldfinger threatening to cut Bond in half with a laser... slowly — upward, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die", Bond's high-stakes golf game, Oddjob and his deadly razor-sharp hat, and the death of Goldfinger's traitorous employee Jill Masterson, her naked body sprawled across her bed and painted gold.This movie also gave the franchise its first Cool Car. In fact, one of the great virtues of the film is that the gadgets shown, such as the car and the personal tracer, are over 50 years old and they still look both believable and neat (and in the case of the GPS-esque tracer, are modern-day consumer goods).Preceded by From Russia with Love and followed by Thunderball.

Can't Kill You, Still Need You
 Goldfinger / int_1206d299
comment
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Auric Goldfinger is fully intent on killing Bond by cutting him in half with an industrial laser in the iconic "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" scene, but Bond manages to talk him out of it by convincing Goldfinger that Bond remaining alive and seemingly in control of the situation will ensure that MI6 won't interfere with his Evil Plan.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The German-accented Goldfinger locks a group of men in a room and gasses them to death. It also doesn't help that Gert Fröbe had previously been a member of the Nazi Party (albeit he left before the war broke out, and even saved a Jewish family during the war).

Exactly What I Aimed At: Bond does this with Oddjob and his steel-rimmed bowler hat. During his tussle with Oddjob at Fort Knox, Bond seems to miss Oddjob by a mile, where the hat gets lodged in the bars of one of the security cages. Oddjob, of course, thinks this, and goes to retrieve it. While Oddjob is distracted, Bond quickly grabs a live electrical cable earlier severed by the hat and touches it to the bars, electrocuting Oddjob.

Revealing Hug: In The Teaser, James Bond is making out with a belly dancer in his room just as a hidden assassin emerges with a truncheon and sneaks up on him. We, and Bond then see her oddly calm reaction to the assassin's appearance (as well as the reflection of the assassin in her eyes) revealing that they are working together. Fortunately, Bond catches on, and it does not end well for either of them.

Chekhov's Boomerang: Oddjob's hat. He uses it first of all to decapitate the statue after the golf game, then to kill Tilly Masterson in the woods, then it cuts the wire in the Fort Knox vault that will later be used to electrocute him. Finally, Bond hurls it at Oddjob, it gets stuck in the vault bars, and Bond uses the aforementioned wire to electrocute Oddjob when he goes to retrieve it through the metal in the rim of the hat.

Good Guns, Bad Guns
 Goldfinger / int_25afd4a3
comment
Good Guns, Bad Guns: The mooks at Goldfinger's European plant carry weapons of Nazi German origin - mostly Walther P38s, and of course the grandmotherly gate guard who wields an MP-40. In the assault on Fort Knox, they use Kar 98k bolt action rifles and MP-40 sub-machine guns. In contrast, the US Army troops use Thompson SMGs and some M-14 Rifles, and Tilly Masterson uses an AR-7 rifle, the same type of rifle Bond himself used in From Russia with Love, and while her allegiance is ambiguous at first, she is ultimately revealed to be on Bond's side.

Boring, but Practical: Goldfinger's scheme ultimately isn't quite the specacular, over-the-top sensation that most of SPECTRE delves in, but it works well enough; set off a bomb in a national bank reserve, thereby decreasing the total amount of gold in circulation and increasing the value of—and thus the wealth and influence provided by—the gold he already has.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Goldfinger / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The point of Bond's speech to Goldfinger, pointing out how it's physically impossible to remove the gold from Fort Knox in anything less than a week and a half and he's going to have the Army and every police agency in the country on him in two hours. Of course, it's right then Goldfinger reveals he has no plans of removing anything. Even better given how the novel did try to push the idea of stealing the gold, and that in the book, Bond was the only person who thought Goldfinger's plan would fail. Tilly Masterson discovers that her sister, Jill, has been killed by Goldfinger. In a matter of a few weeks, the untrained woman rushes off to Switzerland with a too-short range carbine (instead of a rifle) in hand in an attempt to assassinate Goldfinger. In the course of her attempt at a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, she ends up compromising Bond's position twice and fails to kill Goldfinger. The first attempt can be best summarized as an "Epic Fail". The second sees her tripping an alarm, which results in a lengthy chase that results in Bond getting captured and Tilly getting killed by Oddjob. This is also early enough in the franchise that Bond's One-Man Army tendencies are still held in check; he needs the help of Pussy's team and the cooperation of American authorities to foil Goldfinger's plan, and even then it's a near-run thing.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Goldfinger's entire MO — he pretends to be deaf to use a hearing aid (in fact, a receiver for a radio, allowing him to cheat), smuggles gold by driving cross country in a car made of painted gold, lounges pleasantly knowing the CIA is watching him, creates a detailed decoy plan just to fake everyone out until it's too late, and successfully impersonates an officer to escape once his plan goes south.

Xanatos Speed Chess: Goldfinger actually outplays Bond through most of the film. At least once he does it unknowingly since Bond secretly placed a note with a tracking device on someone Goldfinger killed for other reasons. In fact, Bond only succeeded due to to a Heel–Face Turn by Pussy Galore and he didn't even know she'd turned.

Energy Weapon
 Goldfinger / int_4536fd29
comment
Energy Weapon: The famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) "crotch-laser", which was in-film supposed to be an industrial laser designed to cut gold. It was later used as part of the villain's scheme, however its initial use was far more memorable, hence the name. Interestingly, real lasers of that power level tend to be in the infrared spectrum. The red beam we see might be explained as a secondary guide laser similar to a laser gunsight, not the actual damage-causing bit. In reality industrial lasers of that strength didn't exist at the time the film was made, and the laser effect was animation and a prop man using a blowtorch from under the table.

Adaptation Distillation: The film cuts a long and complex golf game scene into a short bit. More importantly, in the novel, Goldfinger truly does plan to steal all the gold from Fort Knox. The screenwriters have Bond openly talk of how that's physically impossible and then the twist of Goldfinger instead using a bomb to make the gold unusable, which is far more plausible.

Hollywood Density: Bond uses two gold bars to break open the bomb and throws a gold bar at Oddjob. However, he does seem to have some trouble lifting them. You might notice the cube resulted from the crushed Continental lacks wheels, and for something that'd be at least 2 tons (specially for the gold in the trunk), it barely makes a difference for the pick-up truck that receives it.note The film crew actually had to cut the cube in half so the truck could support the weight. Said gold also didn't visibly weigh down the trunk of the Continental before it was crushed. Averted in the main plot - Bond and Goldfinger independently realize that it would take far more time than the Grand Slam team would plausibly have to move ten thousand tons of gold out of the vault and into whatever vehicles they had acquired for the heist. So instead, Goldfinger decided to render the Fort Knox gold valueless to increase the value of the gold he already possesses.

 Goldfinger / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: Over the original book, mostly the tone of racism, homophobia and sexism abounding in it. The novel also has Goldfinger planning to slowly poison the water supply of the troops as if they won't notice and truly remove all the gold in Fort Knox physically. The movie not only solves the poison issue but also the far more ingenious idea of nuking the gold (with a scene of Bond openly relating how stealing it all would be impossible) so Goldfinger's own stocks can rise in profits.

Game of Chicken: Bond's Aston Martin proves effective in scattering the mooks in Goldfinger's factory, but as he's driving down a corridor between two buildings he's confronted by another vehicle driving head on towards him with its headlights on full. Bond fires his built-in machine guns, but the car doesn't swerve and at the last second he's forced to, crashing into a wall. It's then revealed that Bond was firing at his own reflection in a steel mirror, set up to reveal oncoming cars at a junction.

Those Wacky Nazis: While Goldfinger's German accent and reaction to Nazi gold lead many fans to assume Nazi roots, the character is specifically described as a Soviet agent in the book. Ironically, Gert Fröbe was a member of the Nazi party (not for long though), causing the film to be banned in Israel until it was discovered that he used his position to save a family of Jews, very much like a mini-Schindler. The German accent is an illusion. Fröbe didn't speak a word of English and had to be dubbed by English actor Michael Collins. Fröbe was such a good actor that the dub is completely unnoticeable.

Unexplained Accent: Despite being played by the very Germanic Gert Fröbe, when Goldfinger is introduced Felix Leiter says he's "British, but he doesn't sound like it." Of course Frobe was dubbed by another actor but he is still given a German accent. The character wasn't even British in Fleming's novel (he was Latvian) so why this was put into the film is a mystery (no other details about his background are mentioned)

Punny Name: Pussy Galore. In the film this was supposed to be lampshaded, with Bond's response to her telling him her name being "I'm sure you are, but what's your name?" but this was considered likely to annoy the censors. Bond's incredulous "I must be dreaming" is lampshading enough. Honor Blackman for her part gleefully annoyed the censors by using the character's full name at press conferences and the like.

Ejector Seat: Part of Bond's new Aston Martin. He uses it to get rid of one of the mooks after he is captured in the woods outside of Goldfinger's factory. Played rather realistically in the film, as it's fired by compressed air and only ejects the poor sucker 2-3 yards out. A real rocket-powered seat, as in a jet fighter, would have burned Bond to death and reduced the car to a charred wreck.

Adaptational Intelligence: Goldfinger is a smart man in both the novel and the film, but the film version comes off as smarter for a simple reason: in the novel, the plan was to steal the gold, which as the film points out is impossible to do in the window of time that Goldfinger has. Film Goldfinger instead uses the gold's theft as a cover, and in fact wants to render it radioactive and thus useless.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Subverted. While Goldfinger does keep Bond alive, it's because he prefers keeping Bond under his thumb rather than MI-6 just sending another agent in Bond's place and wants to trick the good guys into thinking Bond is doing better than he actually is. In reality, had Bond not turned Pussy in the eleventh hour, Goldfinger almost certainly would have won. Goldfinger was also perfectly willing to just let Bond be cut in half by his laser, and it's only because he realizes he can't afford to risk the chance that Bond's bluff is not a bluff that Bond survives.

Sore Loser: When Bond and his caddy realize that Goldfinger is cheating by having Oddjob drop a new ball from an easy-to-play lie, Bond finds and swipes Goldfinger's Slazenger 1 and deliberately swaps it for a Slazenger 7 in his hand. Under the strict rules that Goldfinger insisted on, Goldfinger loses the last hole and therefore the match for playing the wrong ball. Goldfinger huffs out in anger, but Bond and the caddy can barely contain their glee.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Goldfinger / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: When Goldfinger emerges from the cockpit during the epilogue, a second man is clearly visible behind him, but this individual vanishes during the final fight between Bond and Goldfinger (with no indication of him aiding his boss), only to return as an unconscious or dead body on the floor after Goldfinger exits the plane. Likely the victim of deleted footage, as far as the finished film is completed what happened to this man remains a mystery.

Deconstructed Trope: Tilly Masterson's story completely upends the standard Roaring Rampage of Revenge plot. After she discovers that her sister, Jill, has been killed by Goldfinger, she rushes off to Switzerland with a rifle in hand in an attempt to assassinate Goldfinger. You'd assume that she would prove to be a perfect ally for Bond, but instead, since she's an untrained civilian, her attempts to kill Goldfinger can be best summarized as an Epic Fail. All she accomplishes is nearly accidentally killing Bond, compromising his position twice, and eventually getting herself killed.

Deconstruction: The film does this to the plot of the original book, pointing out that Goldfinger's plan to rob Fort Knox would be impossible. Bond states that it would take a bare minimum of 12 days to move the gold out of Fort Knox and Goldfinger would have only two hours before law enforcement is on top of him, and Goldfinger agrees, revealing that his real plan is to set off a dirty bomb and irradiate the gold, rendering it unusable and increasing the value of his own stocks.

Didn't Think This Through
 Goldfinger / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: Tilly Masterson has learned that Auric Goldfinger has killed her sister Jill and decides she wants some revenge. To do this, she decides to take him out by stalking him in Switzerland, where he has his base of operations, and shooting him with a rifle. Instead of doing a little bit of research, the very least of which being learning how to shoot properly, she rushes off to Switzerland with an AR7 a .22 calibre rifle with pitiful stopping power and range, and is such a horrible shot that she nearly shoots James Bond, who is man standing several hundred feet away and up from her target, causing him to think that she was targeting him instead. She tries to do it again later, when Bond is trying to infiltrate Goldfinger's smuggling facility. In her idiocy, she stops just short of advertising her position on a neon sign and trips an alarm wire, compromising Bond's infiltration attempt and leading them both into a chase that ultimately leads to her death at the hands of Oddjob. Subverted. 007 thinks that Goldfinger hasn't thought his plan through, and points out to him that even if he used his nerve gas on the whole population of Fort Knox, he'd never have enough time to transport the gold from the vaults before military reinforcements came. What he doesn't know is, as Goldfinger explains to him, stealing it isn't part of the plan; his true goal involves detonating a bomb to render the gold in Fort Knox radioactive and unusable, thereby making the value of his personal foreign holdings in gold skyrocket. (In short, Goldfinger's scheme was intended to be an insider trading scam, taken up to eleven.)

The Speechless: Oddjob doesn't speak English so he never talks, the only thing he ever says is "Ah, Ah!" when notifying Goldfinger during their golf game. And the only other sound he makes is him screaming as he's electrocuted while holding trying to grab his metal hat when he tries retrieving it from metal bars that's it's stuck in as Bond electrocutes the metal bars. In the novel, the reason he cannot speak is because he has a cleft palate.

Cure Your Gays: In the book, Pussy is a Lipstick Lesbian until Bond's magic charms make her reconsider. Honor Blackman discussed this aspect in a 2006 AMC television special, Bond Girls Are Forever. She thinks that Pussy only believed she was a lesbian because Goldfinger (in the novel, it was her uncle instead) abused her pretty badly, and Bond's charm got her in touch with her actual heterosexuality. This is not remotely implied in the movie, however. The one time Goldfinger and Pussy interact onscreen, she's relaxing beside him at his Kentucky ranch and they seem to have a comfortable professional relationship. The movie version of Pussy is, based on the on-screen evidence, heterosexual.

Continuity Nod: Bond is told that his "attaché case" has been irreparably damaged by Goldfinger's men, by which he seems a bit affected. It's easy to presume this is referring to the gadget-loaded briefcase he got in From Russia with Love, and he's realizing how screwed he is without it. At one point, Bond refers to Felix Leiter's time in Jamaica, referring to the events of Dr. No. This is actually a necessary callback as not only is Leiter now played by a different actor, but the new actor is also considerably older than Jack Lord, who played the role previously.

Failure Hero: Bond actually fails at everything in this film, and is directly responsible for both Jill and Tilly's deaths. (In fact, if he hadn't ruined Tilly's shot at the factory, Goldfinger would have been killed right there, ending the film an hour early. And he's the one who triggers the alarm when he grabs her gun barrel.) Bond spends the bulk of the third act thinking he's failed and has nothing but desperate Indy Ploys left as chance allows him. He even appears surprised that Pussy changed sides. Even killing Oddjob at the end didn't really make a difference, as the heavily-armed soldiers break in a moment later and disarm the bomb, and would have riddled him with bullets if he had made even the slightest attempt to interfere with them.

Also, the Lincoln Continental put in a car crusher (the crew said everyone on set was silent at seeing such a brand new car getting destroyed, and during a screening of the dailies, the projectionist entered the room angry asking if they really did it), They had indeed did so; it drove up, was picked up, and then the crushing started without a single cut. They did, however, cut the resulting cube down so it could fit into the pickup that takes it away.

The Meddling Kids Are Useless
 Goldfinger / int_a36e433
comment
The Meddling Kids Are Useless / Non-Protagonist Resolver: The role of James Bond in the plot is actually rather limited. He spends most of his time tailing Goldfinger and hanging out in his base as a prisoner, always trying to get intel outside, but failing. Sure, he does manage to kill both Goldfinger and Oddjob, but that doesn't affect the plot very much, and the bulk of the work ends up being done by the US Army and the CIA. They even disarm the nuke for Bond. The only vital thing Bond does manage to do is, ironically enough, screwing Pussy Galore (who then performs a Heel–Face Turn and sabotages Goldfinger's "grand slam").

Money Fetish: "This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've been in love with its colour, its brilliance, its divine heaviness..." Ultimately subverted, however — Goldfinger doesn't fall for Bond's Nazi Gold trap, and while he shows pangs of guilt when the time comes to irradiate Fort Knox, he goes through with it without noticeable hesitation.

Disappointed by the Motive: Beautifully subverted. Bond openly says he's "disappointed in you, Goldfinger", as his apparent plan to rob Fort Knox is logistically impossible. When Goldfinger reveals his true scheme, however, Bond has to apologize and admit "it's an inspired deal."

Weaponized Car: The Aston Martin DB5, which was also Bond's first Weaponized Car. Its arsenal included Machine Guns, tyre-slashers, oil-slicks, a smokescreen, bullet-proof shield and rotating numberplates and an ejector seat triggered by a Big Red Button. And those are only the ones that made it to the screen. Ken Adam also gave it spike droppers, a weapon tray under the driver seat, and a radiotelephone concealed within the driver side door, but these never made it into the movie.

comment
Artistic Licence – Economics: Colonel Smithers explains to M and Bond that Britain (and its allies such as the United States) keep gold reserves to "estimate the true value of the dollar and the pound". The UK abandoned the gold standard for fiat money in the 1930s, although the US didn't fully drop it until the Nixon administration. Goldfinger and Bond repeatedly mention Fort Knox as containing the entire gold reserve of the United States. The country actually keeps several gold reserves, precisely for the purpose of preventing (or at least mitigating) scenarios such as Goldfinger's plan, though Fort Knox is certainly the largest and most high-profile of the bunch. Subverted and defied in the main plot. Bond figures out Goldfinger is lying to his mob backers when he stops to think about his "plan" and realizes that carting all the gold out of Fort Knox is not only difficult, it would also massively devalue the currency against him. Goldfinger than reveals his actual plan: by nuking Fort Knox, it would create artifical scarcity and jack up the value of his personal gold even more. It should be noted that this is a case of Adaptation Distillation: in the original novel, Goldfinger was planning to steal all the gold. The makers of the film changed it as they knew Goldfinger would need more manpower to do so.

Just Between You and Me: Subverted and inverted. Goldfinger brags about his plan to his business partners, knowing that he's going to kill them all anyway and that it won't make the slightest bit of difference if he tells them. What Goldfinger doesn't realize is that Bond is listening in on his little presentation; however, Bond misinterprets Goldfinger's plan and thinks that he intends to steal all of Fort Knox's gold, when in actual fact he intends to make it radioactive. In fairness to Bond, and credit to Goldfinger's intelligence, he is out-and-out lying to his business partners; Bond doesn't realize it until he does some mental arithmetic and realizes that it would be impossible to get away with that much gold.

High-Heel–Face Turn: Pussy Galore, after being seduced by Bond. This is even crucial to the plot, since it got her to replace the nerve gas in her pilots' planes with a harmless placebo.

Color Motif
 Goldfinger / int_b869b5b1
comment
Color Motif: Visually, the film uses many golden motifs, reflecting the novel's treatment of Goldfinger's obsession with the metal. The concept of the recurring gold theme running through the film was a design aspect conceived and executed by Ken Adam and art director Peter Murton. All of Goldfinger's female henchwomen in the film except his private jet's co-pilot (black hair) and stewardess (who is Korean) are red-blonde, or blonde, including Pussy Galore and her Flying Circus crew. Goldfinger has a yellow-painted Rolls-Royce with number plate "AU 1" ("Au" being the chemical symbol for gold), and also sports yellow or golden items or clothing in every film scene, including a golden pistol, when disguised as a colonel. Jill Masterson is famously killed by being painted with gold, which according to Bond causes her to die of "skin suffocation". (An entirely fictional cause of death, but the iconic scene caused much of the public to accept it as a medical fact.) Bond is bound to a cutting bench with a sheet of gold on it (as Goldfinger points out to him) before nearly being lasered. Goldfinger's factory henchmen in the film wear yellow sashes, Pussy Galore twice wears a metallic gold vest, and Pussy's pilots all wear yellow sunburst insignia on their uniforms. Goldfinger's Jetstar hostess, Mei-Lei, wears a golden bodice and gold-accented sarong.

 Goldfinger / int_b9af5ef3
comment
The Film of the Book: The book has a plot to steal the gold from Fort Knox (which the movie Bond points out is impossible) using a nuclear bomb to blow open a door while everyone is suicidally close. The movie changes the scheme into a plan to raid the fort just long enough to place the nuclear bomb in the main vault. Any gold surviving the blast would be radioactive and thus worthless, making the value of Auric Goldfinger's own gold jump at least tenfold.

Subverted. 007 thinks that Goldfinger hasn't thought his plan through, and points out to him that even if he used his nerve gas on the whole population of Fort Knox, he'd never have enough time to transport the gold from the vaults before military reinforcements came. What he doesn't know is, as Goldfinger explains to him, stealing it isn't part of the plan; his true goal involves detonating a bomb to render the gold in Fort Knox radioactive and unusable, thereby making the value of his personal foreign holdings in gold skyrocket. (In short, Goldfinger's scheme was intended to be an insider trading scam, taken up to eleven.)

Fixing the Game: When playing cards at a resort, Goldfinger has an employee on a nearby balcony using binoculars to read his opponent's cards. Later when playing golf with Bond, he has Oddjob help him cheat his way out of a penalty stroke. Both times, James turns the tables (first by seducing the card-reading employee, then by cheating even harder at golf). This goes a long way to help establish Goldfinger's character; he's already extraordinarily wealthy, but is still greedy and petty enough to cheat to win (ultimately rather minor) sums of money in friendly bets.

Lighter and Softer: The film was designed to be lighter and less political than the previous entries.note Though ironically, Goldfinger is much more openly allied with Dirty Communists than the (nominally) apolitical SPECTRE.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge
 Goldfinger / int_ceec4df5
comment
Tilly Masterson discovers that her sister, Jill, has been killed by Goldfinger. In a matter of a few weeks, the untrained woman rushes off to Switzerland with a too-short range carbine (instead of a rifle) in hand in an attempt to assassinate Goldfinger. In the course of her attempt at a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, she ends up compromising Bond's position twice and fails to kill Goldfinger. The first attempt can be best summarized as an "Epic Fail". The second sees her tripping an alarm, which results in a lengthy chase that results in Bond getting captured and Tilly getting killed by Oddjob.

Lead the Target: Part of Oddjob's Improbable Aiming Skills with his lethal hat are because of this trope; he noticeably aims a significant distance in front of his moving target, and hits her cleanly on the neck despite the hat being much more slow moving than a bullet or an arrow.

comment
Artistic Licence – Biology: Jill is asphyxiated by covering her entire body with gold paint. Bond explains that people need at least a small patch of bare skin at the base of the spine for their skin to "breathe." This isn't true. At the time the novel was written, "skin asphyxiation" was taken seriously, at least by the public. The studio had a team of doctors on hand while shooting the death scene, and left actress Shirley Eaton's stomach unpainted to make sure she could breathe. In reality, death could result from heat exhaustion if the paint interfered with perspiration, or exposure to toxins if the paint were unsafe, but it would take a very long time. It's possible, of course, that Goldfinger simply murdered Jill and then covered her body in gold paint as a sort of calling card. Since Bond lived in a society that believed in "skin asphyxiation," perhaps he mistakenly assumed the cause of death.

Watch the Paint Job Bond's Aston Martin DB5 is ruined when Bond runs it into a brick wall. Also, the Lincoln Continental put in a car crusher (the crew said everyone on set was silent at seeing such a brand new car getting destroyed, and during a screening of the dailies, the projectionist entered the room angry asking if they really did it), They had indeed did so; it drove up, was picked up, and then the crushing started without a single cut. They did, however, cut the resulting cube down so it could fit into the pickup that takes it away. The DB5's tire slashers make mincemeat out of the side of Tilly's car.

Resignations Not Accepted: Mister Solo, after having Operation Grand Slam to rob Fort Knox revealed to him, states his intention to leave rather than take part in the plan with the rest of the gangsters. He is allowed to leave, and in fact, Goldfinger makes a point of saying that "We must respect Mr. Solo's decision". He's then driven away by Oddjob, and rather than taken to the airport, is shot with a silenced pistol by him.

Everybody Owns a Ford: Ford provided Tilly's Mustang, Felix Leighter's Thunderbird, and Goldfinger's Lincoln Continental, Ford Ranchero and Country Squire (and the government Continental sedans and convertible). Of note is that it's the first time a Mustang was in a film. The film also offers a bit of unintentional foreshadowing, as Ford would buy Aston Martin in the 1990s.
