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!
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.
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
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?”
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
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.
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! 😢🌹
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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
@@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
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
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.
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?
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"
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.
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.
"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?
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
I really hope that The Cinema Snob covers "The Fiendish Plot Of Dr. Fu Manchu". I watched that movie a lot back in the day when I was a kid. The opening scene cracks me up every time.

You've still got 24 more films to review. Keep 'em coming. I'm not trying to sound pushy, btw.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m sad it took his death for this to happen, but I’m glad the Snob went back to doing the Bond Films again. Keep going until at least Diamonds Are Forever
Amazing! First off, I'm not surprised that I too, Love Goldfinger the most, (Not that it's a rare opinion :) 2nd. It's amazing how good Brad is, that I'm paying so much attention to him, (and a movie I've seen 50 times.) that it took me over 7 minutes, to realise that the poster was for 'Goldengirl' and not a Bond film. LoL For newer Fans, Goldengirl is one of Brad's favorites, that he reviewed a way's back. It's a fun film and a great review! Cheers from Canada.
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.
