*GOLDFINGER* has some interesting names and underwater action. 

It was implied that Pussy Galore gave them all the information when she called the Feds after Bond "appealed to her maternal instincts."

Ack! You stepped on one of the best Bond villain lines: "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!"

One of my favorite little easter eggs is when the bomb is deactivated, the counter reads "007."

Fun fact: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was also written by Ian Fleming. The female lead in it was named Truly Scrumptious.

Fun fact: In the novel, Pussy didn't say "My name is Pussy Galore". She said "I'm Pussy Galore" and Bond replied "Sure you are, but what's your name?"

“If he has a weakness it’s puszy” you’re more right than you know 😂

"No, Mister Bond. I expect you to DIE." Greatest line in the entire history of James Bond, all 27 films, and it's not here. 😞

"I didn't know a gun could teach Judo." 🤣🤣🤣 Now, that's the REAL gold around here! 😂😂😂

When Ashleigh says " Who Throws A Hat?! " she reminds me of THAT famous line from Austin Powers! :)

My uncle was in this movie! He was stationed at Fort Knox when they were filming, and he was one of the soldiers who fell down.

Jen Murray also had a "James Bond sex count" for every movie, so that's something you have in common. :)

The greatness of this film, is that it set the standard for all of the ones to follow. It fleshes out the Bond character, and makes it the model for each of them, who come afer Connery. Even the villain, Goldfinger, and his assistant, Odd Job, provide a template for those to come. "Goldfinger", is THE quintessential 007 film! These are the things that make it a great movie!

Fun fact about Mr. Solo, the gangster who was crushed. In the book Goldfinger (published in 1959), his full name was Napoleon Solo. The person who created the TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" liked the name so much he asked Ian Fleming if he could use that name for the star of the series he was producing & Fleming graciously agreed.

The DB5 in this film is iconic. At the time, Aston Martin was facing bankruptcy, this film basically saved the company

Real fight aren't like movie fights. They are chaotic and usually quick to end. It is good that sometimes James gets roughed up.

Your ability to predict the jokes in this movie is top tier 😂

"I wanna keep a James Bond sex count this time" Um, you're gonna need a bigger notebook then :D

"Why is his name Oddjob?" Because he performs random tasks

"One jiggle too hard, that's gonna set the whole thing off" is definitely a line that belongs in James Bond.

The Aston Martin DB5 is a classic. When it returns for Skyfall, it is an epic memberberry

There was a popular myth that the actress covered in gold paint died because her skin couldn't breath. She debunked it personally many times over the years, being in the odd position of repeatedly having to insist to the public that she was, in fact, not dead.

Ashleigh, the guy at the start of the movies is Bond. The camera's view is from the barrel of a gun (hence the rifling).

The woman massaging Bond that gets slapped on the butt was Magaret Nolan, my sister lives above me with Maggie`s son, she was also the gold women during the credits at the start, RIP Maggie who died a week after Connery died xx

Even though the first two films were popular, this was the one that made Bond a cultural phenomenon. This movie setup many of the "Bondisms" that followed in other films: lots of gadgets, the tricked out car, over the top villains and henchmen, suggestive names of the female characters, ect.

27:33 "I think y'all are taking, a roll in the the hay, a little to serious." I'm having, "Young Frankenstein", flashbacks.

The actor who plays Felix is always changing, so I think it's fun to try and spot him in each movie.

"I never thought of dynamite as a verb." Ashleigh, you can verb anything you want if you language hard enough.

Ashleigh: you expect 5 star? me: no Mrs. burton, I expect you to be entertained.

Metallurgy is the branch of science and technology concerned with the properties of metals and their production and purification. Hence, Goldfinger operates "metallurgical" facilities.

This movie has a special place in my heart. Twenty years after this movie, my family got stationed at Fort Knox (I'm an Army Brat; I graduated from Fort Knox High School.) The house I lived in during the mid-1980s appears in this movie several times (On the maps, on the aerial shots, and even the model has my house on it!) I could see the Gold Vault out my bedroom window. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

The things that Q is supplying Bond with just keep getting better as the franchise continues. For your reference, Q is short for quartermaster corps. Where the military gets its equipment. Of course Bond is getting all the experimental and really cool stuff. They always tell him to return it in working order, but he rarely does. Remember when these films were made, and how futuristic all the gadgets were back then.

Q is by far my favorite Bond character. Desmond Llewellyn portrayed him PERFECTLY with his constant annoyance at Bond. I don't know if you'll watch all the Bond movies or not, but all I'll say is that one of the reasons Licence to Kill is one of my favorite Bond films is in large part because of Q.

'Handicap' is a golf term, it refers to your overall skill in the game. It basically refers to points you are spotting your opponent

“who throws a hat!?” Cue Austin powers

This is the movie where Bond becomes Bond as we know him. It just ramps up from here. Bond, I think, invented the one-liner quip as we know it. Fantastic film.

About the fight scene... Goldfinger came out in 1965. At that time most fight scenes involved just throwing punches and some Jujitsu throws and holds (it was very mundane). In 1966 Bruce Lee came over from Hong Kong and starred in a TV show called the Green Hornet. He played the side kick Kato. Bruce was an expert in martial arts and when the director told him to make up a fight scene Bruce started throwing all these kicks and punches and yelling. It was like nothing they had ever seen before. It basically changed how Hollywood choreographed fight scenes.

A manservant is different from butler. As P.G. Wodehouse wrote about Jeeves: "Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman’s gentleman, not a butler, but if the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them.”

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond~ I expect you to DIE..." Also, like Sherlock said, there's ALWAYS a switch 😅

One of the other influences of Austin Powers was the movies with James Coburn, "Our Man Flint," and then, "In Like Flint," which was mentioned as Austin Powers' "favorite movie," from, "The Spy Who Shagged Me."

Using her head as a shield was the ultimate.

Starting with Goldfinger: The gadgets keep getting cooler. The villains keep getting bigger. The evil plots keep getting grander. The names keep getting crazier. The puns keep getting groanier. Everything keeps getting....more. Some are great some are duds. Enjoy!!

A butler is the Major Domo; the boss of the staff an entire household whereas if you only have one servant he is your valet or simply, as Goldfinger says, manservant.

I had a '77 Buick that had the oil-slick and smoke features. It wasn't intentional, just had bad gaskets.

6:18 Shirley Eaton is the only one survivor of all the Goldfinger's Cast

_Goldfinger_ is definitely when the franchise begins picking up some pacing. And Shirley Bassey's theme is iconic and so iconic she was brought back TWICE again, the only one to do three themes.

Pussy Galore was in the opening credits in a large font. You missed it. 4:01 Harold Sakata who played Odd Job, won a silver medal for the United States at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London in weightlifting.

Hey Ashleigh, I really have so much fun on your channel. Yours is the only one I'll even watch reactions to movies I haven't seen. Thanks for always being such a delight to hang out with for a while.😄

For those who weren't around when this movie first came out it's hard to explain what a sensation it was.

My mom used to combine Ms. Galore's first name and the second word in the film title and walk around the house singing it to the theme song. And that's one to grow on.

It was mentioned that Pussy switched the gas on the planes after Bond had turned her around to the side of the good guys. She not only switched the gas but also delivered a message to Bond's allies to inform them what was going down so the CIA and the military could set a trap for Goldfinger to walk into. The first three films laid the foundation for the Bond formula. The next one is where it all starts to come together. I know nobody has mentioned it but as your goal is to get to the Austin Powers movies, might I suggest that at some time you also take in the original The Italian Job from 1969. When you get to the third Austin Powers movie you will understand why I suggested it for your watch list. Still a way to go yet. Nice to see you gradually warming to the James Bond franchise.

Odd Job sort of began a James Bond tradition of a super tough bad guy bond has to fight near the end of each movie.

One thing I love about movies from this time period is all the elaborate sets, huge models, sliding floors, hidden rooms behind huge sliding walls. It's so much fun.

She's getting all the jokes before they're made. She's on the Bond wavelength.

Be advised, GOLDFINGER is essential viewing for understanding the Austin Powers GOLDMEMBER spoof. But the main James Bond film you need to see to fully appreciate the Austin Powers movies is YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Don't stop watchng the Bond films until you seen that one, even if you have to skip a few to get there.

When Ashleigh mentioned "James only has one weakness", she had no idea. LOL!

The actor that played Oddjob was actually seriously burned during the electrocution scene. That scream of pain was very real.

Pussy Galore is one of the greatest movie character's name. RIP Honor Blackman.

Some underwater action? Wait until you get to Thunderball.

I was named after Sean Connery. My dad liked James Bond, and my mother liked Sean Connery

I was expecting a much bigger reaction to Ms. Galore’s introduction but still happy to see you had so much fun saying her name the rest of the film! If you think Odd Job was an imposing figure just wait until you see Jaws, played by the late Richard Kiel (an absolute gigantic but very nice man) when Roger Moore is 007 in The Spy Who Loved Me.

Desmond Llewellyn portrayed "Q" through all of the Bonds until "The World is Not Enough", with Pierce Brosnan.

Goldfinger is one of my favorite Bond movies. Gerd Fröbe is a wonderful villain. He was one of the great German actors.

The Aston Martin DB5 from this film absolutely set the standard for all future Bondmobiles.

Talked right over the classic line "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."

I think you're being perfectly fair. These movies came out in the 1960s and 70s, before the big explosion of real modern action movies where directors and studios really figured out how to shoot that kind of stuff well. I love these videos, thank you!

"Positively shocking." One of the best Bond one-liners ever dare I say?

Goldfinger is when all the outrages names and spy gadgets became the James Bond essential ingredient for the movie

I feel like you also need "You Only Live Twice" to get more jokes in Austin Powers.

Perhaps the most incredible feat ever depicted in a Bond movie was James not only being able to cure Pussy Galore of her lesbianism but at the same time have her fall so completely in love with his manliness that she betrays Goldfinger and rats out his plans to the feds. I saw this movie with my friend Russ back when it was released in 1964. We had to hop the fence in his backyard and trespass though his backyard neighbor's yard to cut the walk to the theatre down to a mile or so. Neither set of parents would drive us to the theatre, as the word was out that the movie was indecent and not suitable for 13-yr. old boys, even with its PG rating. We, of course, loved it, and decided we wanted to be like Bond, or at least be as handsome, debonair, and masterful as Sean Connery. It was a memorable evening. Walking home in the dark on the shoulder of a two-lane blacktop road, some guy in a Corvette zoomed by us doing about 80 mph and grazed Russ's hip with his passenger side-view mirror. We both shrugged off his near brush with death with casual aplomb, quickly deciding it was how James Bond would have handled it.

Ahh... Goldfinger. A good check to see if someone saw this movie is go get into a room and go "Gooooold-FINger!" and wait for someone to go 'dahnaaaah-nah'

This is my favorite's Bond movie. It is the movie that every other Bond film learned from. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Briefcase damaged while examined = it exploded when they tried to open it. 😂

The actress who played Pussy Galore, Honor Blackman, became famous on a British TV show that was also shown here in the US: “The Avengers”. Her successor on that show, Diana Rigg, shows up in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” and her costar, Patrick Macnee, appears in “A View to a Kill.” 13:28 Given that you didn’t seem to notice the character’s name in the opening credits, this line hit particularly hard.

The James Bond franchise is totally winking at the audience the whole time with the crazy gadgets, one-liners, and over-the-top villains. The campiness is really part of the charm of the story. It really isn't until the Daniel Craig run when the movies start to lean into a more realistic portrayal. You kinda know what you're getting when you watch a Bond movie. And you're right--the Austin Powers movies really take all the tropes and joke potential and ramp it up to 11. You'll have a GREAT time with those.

This was the 7th Bond novel (1959). Although it was only the 3rd film and the first of four Bond films by director Guy Hamilton, It became the phenomenon within the phenomenon. Good story, theme song, dialogue, villains, girls, action, sexiness, etc. 007 was a much bigger number than before. This was when it truly became a franchise. Blockbuster-wise, theaters stayed open 24 hrs just to keep the crowds pleased. Product-wise; clothes, cars, cologne or anything that was connected to Bond was being sold like crazy. 6 million copies of the novel series sold thanks to the film's success. For the establishment of the Bond character on screen, it set the bar even higher.

His name is Oddjob because he does random tasks around the house. ;P

Girl, I love your humor, but you stepped on Bond:Do you expect me to talk? Goldfinger:NOOO Mr. Bond. I expect you to DIE!

Dame Shirley Bassey was the singer for the title theme. Lord, how she got a set of pipes on her-- they use her for a lot of Bond movies.

This literally has the classic opening song. And goddamn Shirley Bassey can sing!!

Goldfinger is the first Bond film I saw at the cinema when it was released. Still my favourite.

The idea for Bond's gadgets started with the revolving number plates. Then someone joked "what else? Why not machine guns?" And the team decided, "why not?".

They don't really get over the top until Roger Moore. "Moonraker" is peak camp.

I don't blame you for only giving them 3 stars. They really are an acquired taste lol. I think people just view them with a lot of nostalgia.

This movie has the greatest Bond villain line of the whole franchise: "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die."

"I am going to start a Bond's sex count.' Honey, you will need a bigger notebook...

Lois Maxwell, Miss Moneypenny played in 14 Bond Movies . One of the longest runs in the series .

Re. Geneva & pretty sights. You have to remember that the James Bond movie franchise doubles as a travel agency to glamorous or exotic tourist destinations, at a time when only the well-to-do could afford air travel and vacations abroad. 60a audiences lived vicariously through Bond. For most, it was the first time they saw these locations on film.

"You expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" It's probably the best lines from a movie villain.

16:36 The Auric Enterprises complex is actually Pinewood Studios, they just shot the chase outside of the sound stages.

Now this one is really iconic

I like that the bomb timer stopped at “007”

This is arguably the best Bond movie ever made.

The scene with the Lazer was an actual Blow Torch burning from under the table. Several times Sean nearly lost his manhood 😂

"...gone to the bottom of the ocean!" -- "Hmmm... we haven't gone that far!" Goldfinger was shot approx. 3 years after the descent of Walsh & Piccard into the Mariana trench at Challenger Deep.

17:44 That's Honour Blackman. She was the second assistant to John Steed on the awesome 60's British spy tv show The Avenger. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel is the most famous assistant but Honour Blackman was the first big one. Highly recommend the show, especially the 3 Diana Rigg seasons.

I saw this at the drive in with my parents, the opening song is beyond iconic.

Car-crushing: very similar sequence occurs in 'Superman 3' oddly enough. Some of the same guys worked on both films.

You did notice that when Bond stopped the atomic device, the timer said 007.

"Did it kill her?" After the girl was struck by the hat that we saw take the head off of a statue minutes before. LOL

I couldn't have known it for many years, but after seeing an old movie, I realized it had to have been one of the main sources from which Austin Powers was inspired. It's a film call "Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs" There were several "Dr. Goldfoot" feature films and a TV series in the 1960s starring Vincent Price(the Narrator of the Michael Jackson song "Thriller").
