"Do you expect me to talk?" "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!" To this day, that is one of the best villain responses ever.

As a German, just a small note. Gert Fröbe was in his time one of the best German actors. He was able to portray both haunting and humorous roles excellently.

"The name's Bond, James Bond" was first uttered by Connery in Dr. No., as the camera pans upward from a casino card table to reveal his face, insouciantly puffing a cigarette.

Odd Job is one of the best henchmen in Bond history. He was played by Toshiyuki Sakata (坂田 敏行, Sakata Toshiyuki, July 1, 1920 - July 29, 1982), better known as Harold Sakata, was an American Olympic weightlifter, professional wrestler, and film actor of Japanese descent. He won a silver medal for the United States at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London in weightlifting.

I waited 25 minutes in anticipation of Cassie & Carly's reaction to Goldfinger's pilot saying her name. It didn't disappoint. 🤣🤣🤣

"NO MR BOND.... I EXPECT YOU TO DIE!" is one of the most memorable villain lines Ever.

Still my favorite Bond film. Sean Connery is the man.

You ladies are on point; Goldfinger is considered the 007 film, where they decisively nailed the tone and aesthetics of 'James Bond' on screen. The two first Connery films were experimenting a bit; this is the one where it pays off.

Fun fact: Sean Connery learned to play golf for this film, and took it up as a hobby as a result. Thanks for the reaction, I feel it's one of the best in the series.

This film is essential in the Bond saga, because it ended up establishing the definitive formula for the rest of the films in the saga.

I actually met Oddjob, or should I say the actor who played him, Harold Sakata, shortly after I moved to Hawaii in 1976. Harry, as we referred to him, was actually a nice & gentle man with an imposing physical presence, who use to work out with us in the weight room at the local YMCA.

This is one of the most iconic Bond theme songs of all time - Shirley Bassey (later Dame Shirley Bassey). I was a kid when I first saw this movie and I knew this was special. Listen to how she holds that last note. I still get chills.

"But _Mission Impossible_ is always Tom Cruise." Excuse me? Peter Graves would disagree!

Goldfinger was actually named after an architect who tore down some Victorian cottages in London to build a modern apartment block, an actually really cool, modern apartment block, but he ticked off Ian Fleming, who lived close by so Fleming, named the villain in his new book after the architect who threatened to sue Fleming, so Fleming threatened to name the villain, something worse, but everybody would know it referred to the architect

Fun fact, Gert Froebe (Goldfinger) did not speak English at the time the movie was made. He got his lines through an earpiece via radio. I think it tells us a lot about his quality as an actor that you don't notice it. Froebe was never that big in the US, but around here he is remembered for his role in 'It happened in broad daylight' (1958) together with an other great German actor Heinz Rühmann. So should you ever want to see a great crime thriller, give that one a try.

fun little fact, ian fleming (the man who wrote the james bond books the films are based on) became close friends with multiple spies to help write the books more accurately. One of them, who is speculated to be one of the inspirations for bond himself, was roald dahl, the author of willy wonka, matilda, and B.F.G.

I love how in Austin Powers the Odd Job stand-in was "Random Task!"

All through my childhood, my mom sang the theme song to this film and the family would DIE laughing. She REALLY got into it with facial expressions and everything. It was hilarious.

Not only a great movie but an absolutely brilliant performance of the Bond theme song by Shirley Bassey...

I've heard it many times before, but Goldfinger is the Gold Standard for all James Bond films :)

For those of you who skipped out of chemistry class, the symbol for gold is "Au." So, in this movie, we get AUric Goldfinger and a bad guy license plate with AU1.

Fun Fact: When Dame Shirley Bassey recorded the theme song, she was singing as the opening credits were running on a screen in front of her, so that she could match the vocals. When she hit her final high note, the titles kept running and she was forced to hold the note until she almost passed out. She has told the story that she only managed to hold the note after removing a restricting bustier she was wearing. Also, Goldfinger was the one that established the James Bond formula. The mini adventure in the pre-credits sequence, the outlandish villain, the gadget laden car, the Bond girl with a double entendre for a name and a henchman with a gimmick.

Oh shoot! Carly with the hat trick puns, and Cassie with that priceless look on her face. "Why does he say it like that? Pooosy" Hahaha

Fun fact, the actors playing Goldfinger and Q also played together in another movie made by Albert Broccoli and written by Ian Fleming: chitty chitty bang bang.

The best of the Connery Bonds and the one that made James Bond a world wide phenomenon. Also, the film that started a number of Bond traditions that will carry on through many of the later films (outlandish villain, gadget laden car, henchman with a gimmick, Bond girl with a double entendre for a name, and a pre-credits mini-adventure)

Before all the digital tech, it was the best they could do with what they had. As kids we were in awe at all the amazing effects, it was magical to us. Thanks guys.

The reason Goldfinger gives the mobsters such an elaborate demonstration of his plan even though he kills them right afterward is that he's so proud of himself for coming up with it and wants to brag. Just watch how he beams with delight at their astonishment towards his brilliance and audacity. Later, Bond says, "I enjoyed your little talk, Goldfinger," and Goldfinger responds with a wry smile, "So did I." Goldfinger also derives great pleasure by revealing his plan to Bond over mint julips, almost giddy as Bond slowly works out his true intention of setting off an atomic bomb in Fort Knox. Even Goldfinger's henchman can be seen in a brief cutaway with a sardonic smile on his face. The fact that Bond forces Pussy to make out with him in the barn is often misinterpreted. His intention here is not to force her into sex, which, in the situation, would gain him nothing. Instead, it's a desperate last ditch attempt to avert the horrific murder of tens of thousands of innocent people within mere hours by appealing to the tenuous humanity of a ruthless criminal.

I just discovered your channel for the first time and I'm smiling from ear-to-ear because I'm a James Bond fan from very early on! My dad used to take my brother and I to see all the openings of the Sean Connery 007 films at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood in the mid 60's. It's so refreshing to see two cute girls reacting to these great classic films! You do a great job and your reactions are priceless !!! Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever are my all-time favorite Bond films. I've just hit the like button and subscribed to your Channel 👍

For what it's worth, Goldfinger has an interesting first name. Aurum is the Latin word for gold and the reason the symbol on the periodic table is Au. In chemistry, the "auric" ion is one of the possible oxidation states. In old usage, a compound of gold would begin with either auric or aurous followed by the name of the ion it was bonded with. These days, they just stick a roman numeral in parenthesis to show the oxidation state. I finally had a use for a bit of chemical trivia I learned back in the 70s because my high school chemistry teacher "preferred the old way".

You are absolutely correct when you say you have to put your head back into the 60's. When this movie came out it was considered cutting edge with the gadgets, the action, the women and the villain. This set the standard for all Bond movies to come. This is most people's favorite Connery Bond movie. Mine is the next one, Thunderball!

Gert Frobe, who played goldfinger, also starred in another very famous film which was also written by Ian Flemming, Bonds creator, and was also made by the bond film production team. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Goldfinger ( Gert Frobe ), also had a minor role in " The longest day ", about D-Day, as the German soldier collecting milk on a horse when the invasion shelling started, but most memorably, as " Baron Bomburst " in the classic " Chitty Chitty Bang Bang " children's film ...

Possibly one of the best Opening Theme songs ever... Rock on Shirley Bassey!!

Bond first says the iconic line " Bond. James Bond " in the first Bond movie " Dr. No ".

Goldfinger is one of the most iconic Bond films and simultaneously a deeply weird movie, from Oddjob and his killer hat, death by gold paint, Bond's "forcible conversion" (in multiple senses) of one Pussy Galore, and Goldfinger's bizarre deplaning... that Shirley Bassey opening, though, and of course the classic "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" will be remembered forever.

Can’t wait for the inevitable victory of The Spy Who Loved Me for Roger Moore’s contribution. Great opening scene, incredible theme song, and hello to a brilliant villain.

Casey calling Odd Job Boo Hoo gave me the best laugh I've had all week. Thank you.

Back in the time these were amazing special effects and plot twists. What you don't realize is that the Bond adventures were spy novels turned into movies. So when you read the book you were anxious to see how they would adapt them into movies. It's too bad you decided to hop around for your next Bond reaction. If you can..... try to take the Sean Connery movies in order. Next would be Thunderball and then after that my favorite _ You Only Live Twice. Most people agree that Sean Connery was their favorite Bond portrayer.

All the actors who played Bond after Connery were playing Bond...Sean Conery WAS James Bond. Fell in love with 007 when I was 12 years old and saw Goldfinger. There was a song that was playing on the radio way back then titled Double-O-Seven by The Detergents which was obviously inspired by Connery's Bond character. Worth a listen...pretty adorable song and available on youtube.

I can’t imagine anyone enjoying Goldfinger more than you two here. You both look like you’re having a blast. Maybe your most fun reaction video yet! ☺

In the early 70s I used to deal with the company that made the industrial laser used in the movie and met a couple of the guys who worked on building it. (it was too dangerous to use the actual beam in filming and it also did not show up on film as the filming lights overpowered it so the beam was added later as a visual effect). BTW Honour Blackman (Pussy Galore) was a senior black belt in Jiu Jitsu. Sean Connery was later awarded an honorary Black Belt in Kyokushinkai full contact karate by Master Mas Oyama who trained him for one of the later Bond movies. Harold Sakata (Oddjob) was an Olympic weightlifter and then a wrestler.

The same villain was also used in Ian Fleming's other 'gadget-car' novel, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ;)

Another fun reaction from the dynamic duo.'From Russia with Love' did top box office in UK and had already established several tropes but this is the one that really broke the franchise in America. The gold-painted girl was gorgeous Shirley Eaton, who contrary to popular rumour suffered no ill effects. She abandoned a successful UK acting career midstream to be a stay-at-home mum. Honor Blackman had an illustrious theatrical career but is fondly remembered by TV audiences for 'The Avengers' with Patrick McNee. Gert Frobe, who played the arch-villain, also had a flair for comedy ('Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines'). Rock on, ladies.

Sean Connery was born in 1930. This movie was made in 1964, meaning he was 34 years old during this movie. I'm 34 years old now and I can't even begin to grasp that we're the same age. He looks so much older and so much more down to earth with his shit together than I do. It's unbelievable....

To answer your question at the end: the older Bond movies were mostly self-aware power-fantasies, so yeah, they were meant to be kinda silly. Bond is just a one-man-army taking down any villain his path, either with violent force, clever trickery, or his razor-sharp wit. He's the epitome of every woman wants him and every man wants to be him, he's the ideal male power-fantasy. So yeah, it DOES get cartoony at times. The gadgets, the cars, the stunts, the villains... but it all feeds into that over-the-top ego-stroking that the audience want. The sad part is, with the Daniel Craig movies, they abandoned all of that in favour of making the series into just another generic action series without any of the unique self-aware absurdity that made the earlier films so good. Say what you will about Roger Moore's movies in the 70s, yeah they were a bit silly but nobody can say they weren't FUN as HELL while doing it.

I don’t usually watch these “reaction” videos but it was fun watching these two’s reaction. I’m glad “Goldfinger” can still entertain people.

In a world where there had never before been a spy like James Bond, everything in this movie was ultra ULTRA cool and serious. Of course the quips line “Shocking” or “I must be dreaming” are meant to be funny. But the rest was all dead serious.

I think Sean Connery (Bond) and Gert Froebe (Goldfinger) were in one other movie together: The Longest Day (1962). Connery played an Irishman making the landings for the Allies and Froebe played a German sergeant bringing coffee to his men on the beach every morning. From bit parts in the first movie to the main hero and villain in two years.

It's SO important to remember, these movies were PURE FUN for audiences of the early 60s with what they had at the time in television and movies to watch. Each bond movie as they were released came with an ever-larger budget, so the gadgets and the sets got bigger. My all-time favorite: Casino Royale (2006) Daniel Craig's first. Never mind being a Bond movie, it is a stand-alone GREAT movie--and great cast and plot, action, villains, dialogue, script, stunts, exotic locales, romance, banter between the characters and Daniel Craig NAILS IT as the true 'licensed spy killer for the good guys' you'll ever see. One of my all-time top 5 favorite movies. It has everything. Many believe the ones with the best plot/story line is: On Her Majesty's Secret Service. (George Lazenby's only one, and he does a great job after Connery left, but then came back for a couple more.) Most of the 30-40 years old today mostly know the Pierce Brosnan one's as the one's they grew up with and all believe GoldenEye is the best of his four. Anyone who was a teen in the 80's (50+ today) mostly know the (campier, but fun) Roger Moore Bond movies (he had the most - at 7 ). In between you have the Timothy Dalton (he did two of them) and those were considered a more 'edgy' hard-nosed, killer version of Bond. Most are campy.. but that's just how they were -- it was good guy who could do no wrong and capable of everything sort of fun. That's why he's a loveable character. The saying goes: Every man wants to BE him, Every woman wants to be WITH him. Suspended belief (as with most movies) and just pure fun.. and for many audiences today, nostalgic, taking you back to all the various decades in which they were made.

The girl that was covered in gold was Shirley Eaton and it was gold makeup not paint.

The set design of Fort Knox was so convincing that some people were shocked that the filmmakers “were allowed access” to a too secret location!

I love Cassie the quoting "Positively shocking!" line. You know she's big into it with that line.

The golf club where Odd Job knocks the head off the statue is my old golf club. It’s called Stoke Park Club. It was also featured in the movies ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ and ‘Layer Cake’ as well as another Bond film, ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’.

I’ve always thought the moment where he says “she’s covered in paint…gold paint” is so underrated. It’s totally overdramatic and yet Sean Connery’s delivery is still effectively chilling.

The thing with Oddjob's hat is that the rim is actually a chakram: a heavy iron ring used as a throwing weapon. You ladies would know it better as one of the weapons Xena carried and used. When it hit Tilly, the impact broke her neck.

GOLDENEYE is a fantastic Bond film too. One of my favorites.

The most fun Bond film of all. (And I was born on Fort Knox!) Fun fact: at 33:04 Felix and friend are driving around Fort Knox, supposedly, tracking Oddjob, and indeed there are a few second unit background plates shot around the little towns of Muldraugh and Radcliff, but interspersed with shots that were obviously left over from whatever they shot in Miami. "INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT" indeed! I think I even see a palm tree here and there. Yeah, no palm trees in north central Kentucky. Also, 34:58 "Mint Julep"? Made with Kentucky bourbon with sugar and a spring of mint. All the Kentucky Derby visitors drink our entire supply every May. Because no self respecting Kentuckian would sully bourbon with sugar and mint, unless maybe tourists are watching us. Classic regional drink that we're known for but never drink ourselves.

The way Bond reacts to seeing Goldfinger on the plane is one of my favorite Bond moments. "Are you having lunch at the Whitehouse too?" Without batting an eye.

Fun fact: the guy playing Oddjob actually burned his hand pretty badly during the 'electrocution' scene, but kept shooting the scene anyway until it was done. Tough cookie. Not sure what happened, but I presume it was something with the pyrotechnics that made the sparks, maybe?

They had to approach such things VERY obliquely in those days, but when Pussy says she's "immune" to his charms, what she's saying is that she's a lesbian. That's further exemplified by her "girls" who work for her, and her plans to go "live on an island" (where she can indulge her predilection without inhibition). It's a subtle thing -- so subtle that I think a lot of people miss it.

More respect please for the masterpiece genius music intros. One guy did it and he was so trusted and talented that he got it done just in the nick of time in 3 days. Shirley Bassey is the singer here. Her life is a movie in itself. She still sings and is gorgeous.

When Harold Sakata did his final Oddjob scene he burned his hand pretty bad. Upon asked why he didn't let go he replied "You didn't yell "Cut!".

Classic, but It's Definitely a film of it's time, as long as you take that into account, still a classic, Cassie and Carly were clearly Shaken, not stirred 😂 ❤️

Great classic Bond movie! On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a underrated film 🎞

Goldfinger is the best James Bond movie. Great cars, a moving tight plot and great characters. My personal favorite.

I like old films in general and the bond franchise is "in my bag" for sure.

Listening to Cassie and Carley speculate during the opening credits what or who Goldfinger might be; I realized that my generation learned an important lesson growing up watching "Gilligan's Island." Pay attention to the lyrics in opening theme song. Never know what you might learn from them. Same applies to the theme from the original "Spiderman" animated series.

Ian Fleming loved wordplay w/ his characters' names. The symbol for gold is "Au"....hence "Auric Goldfinger".

"You Only Live Twice" is probably, overall, the best of the Connery films. They hit their stride with that one.

These films are somethin else, growing up in the 80’s I saw these films on vhs w/ my mom, and immediately fell in love w/ them. That archetype of the smooth/smug hero who is a straight up cad, but trustworthy and heroic. Don’t get me wrong, not all are as the Gold (taha) standard as this but they’re enjoyable. Also, favorite react moment “why does he keep saying her name like that?” Lmao ahh ❤

The car that was crushed did indeed still have the body of Solo in it. Remember, Goldfinger did say Solo had a “pressing engagement.” lol. My favorite Bond film. The two leads/adversaries played off each other very well.

One of the most iconic of the Bond films in my opinion, the introduction of the Aston Martin DB5 and and incredible opening theme by Shirley Bassey. This film indeed was a notable success. Also it's proven that "Skin Suffocation" is not a real cause of death.

I really hope that the patreons will vote for "the spy who loved me" and "for your eyes only" for the Roger Moore's era ;) Since for your eyes only is kind of a sequel to "on her majesty's secret service"

My grandfather seen this in the movies when guys he worked with and people in the neighbors were saying it was really really good. It was a major hit world wide and put bond on the spotlight world wide

Each Bond film has a theme song sung by the very best singers of its generation (and the songs give clues about the film). "From Russia Sith Love" was sung by Matt Monro. "Goldfinger" is sung by Dame Shirley Bassey. It is considered the definitive Bond theme song. The next Bond film, "Thunderball", is sung by Sir Tom Jones. Other Bond theme songs are sung by Carly Simon, Paul McCartney, Sheena Easton, etc. Shirley Bassey returns twice more to sing "Diamonds Are Forever" and "Moonraker".

For all of the car people out there. The Mustang in the movie was a pre-production model supplied by Ford to go with the launch of the Mustang.

Great reaction ladies as usual. My favorite Bond movies are: Goldfinger; You Only Live Twice; and Thunderball, and probably in that order. In any case, Sean Connery will always be the best Bond. Thanks and keep up the great channel.

i went to catholic school in 64. i saw this movie at a drive thru.i was enchanted with that woman's name. i decided to say it on the playground. the nun's did not appreciate it.

It's SO awesome to witness "young person" reactions to these classics! And yes...the action scenes were meant to be serious, entertaining and fun at the same time. Thank you for taking time to time-travel the 60s...it was an amazing era.

OMG I’m so glad you’re watching this movie. I borrowed all the Bond movies back on VHS in the mid-90s and saw them for the first time. He’s an iconic male hero. I even got all the Ian Flemming books. This one is my favorite.

Your sister undersold the "Hatrick" joke, but as a fellow Canadian and dad joke connoisseur, I loved it XD

Fun fact the actress who played P Galore in this movie, played the Goddess Hera in 1963's Jason and the Argonauts.

Fun fact: Dr. Ling (leader of the Chinese troops) was played by Burt Kwouk, who played the comedic role of Kato in the "Pink Panther" sequel "A Shot in the Dark" (which were released the same year as Goldfinger).

Love this show with you two.Goldfinger, it's all about the car ... and the golf game.

The whole bit about Goldfinger being sucked out of the plane's window is covered is more detail in the original Ian Fleming novel. He alleges it is possible given the pressures involved at that altitude. Also, there's more about Oddjob and his deadly hat.

12:56: The actor Connery is talking to was also in another great film of that year - *A Hard Day’s Night* with *The Beatles* 🎸 You should definitely watch that too!

I remember seeing this in the theater at a kids' birthday party. It was a lot to take in. It's still one of my favorite Bonds, though. Great reaction, PIB!

One of my favorite Bond movies. Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤️

They've studied the skin suffocation thing. It would actually take quite a while. You get wildly varying blood pressure and other problems. They clearly didn't kill anyone in the study, but doctors always had to halt the tests because of troubling and dangerous medical readings. When they do skin painting for performance art, they have to leave a good sized patch of skin unpainted and limit the time painted.

Great reaction again. Keeping things in perspective, as you are. In small town America during the time of this release. Many homes did not have color TV yet. Only three television stations were on air, and they went off-air at midnight and did not come back on until 7 AM. No malls and all stores closed on Sunday. No music players in cars, only AM radio. If you wanted music, you would play it on a record player. If you wanted to see this movie after it left theaters, it was a slim chance. This movie was a huge hit with the kids like myself. It spawned so many toys geared toward kids. Like the car and a spy briefcase. It gave us a chance to escape reality for just awhile. Not much to do in small town America back then. How I miss those days, LOL.

Jill the golden girl was played by Shirley Eaton who is very well known here in the uk for doing comedy movies such some of the early carry on films and what a carve up.

Hi Cassie and Carly, Great reactions, you two! The character Odd Job was hugely popular and made some Vicks cough syrup commercials. Very clever too. They're on RU-vid.

I absolutely loved the Lebowski intro!

While the movie is fairly close to the novel, there are a few differences such as Tilly is not killed outside the factory early on. The novel also explains why Ms. Galore is immune to James’ advances

Goldfinger was when the Bond movies started to hit their stride and was the birth of the "Bond formula" which the Bond films had ever since. Such a classic film. Also Gert Frobe who played Goldfinger would later play Baron Bomburst in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Great reaction ladies. This was definitely the Bond movie that really cemented the formula and many of the mainstay tropes were born here. While not intended to be obviously silly, most of the Bond movies (up until Daniel Craig takes on the role) were set in a heightened, somewhat fantastical world. The villains are definitely a mixture of cartoonishly evil and a little bit scary as well. Some of the stunts are unintentionally funny by today's standards, but some were meant to be a little funny. This was a way to make what could be rather grim and dark, more palatable to a general audience. Ironically the next one you are going to watch, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" with George Lazenby, is a bit of a departure and is more serious. This experiment in tone is quickly abandoned in subsequent films due to the film not doing as well as expected. Audiences reacted negatively to the film but it was never really clear if it was the change in tone or refusal to accept Sean Connery's replacement, but both were blamed and quickly reversed for "Diamonds Are Forever". Sadly Connery was only coaxed back for that film and then the producers had to recast the role again with Roger Moore.

My grandparents love watching Goldfinger (1964)! By the way, this was the last James Bond film to be on widescreen (1.66:1).

29:55 such an underrated line by Goldfinger

A couple things to know about the old Bond movies. Bond is indestructible. Bond is irresistible. They are movies of a different era. Goldfinger is one of THE classic Bond movies. Pussy Galore is one of THE "Bond Girls" (played by the legendary Honor Blackman). The title track by Dame Shirley Bassey is legendary. Sit back, don't think to much about the plots (they are all ridiculous 😂) and enjoy the fantastic locations (when films weren't shot on green screens), fun stories and ofc Bond, James Bond 😁
