Goldfinger/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* From the pre-title sequence, Bond emerges from the water in a diving suit (with a duck on the top), takes the suit off -- and reveals a perfect tux underneath.

* Q: "I never joke about my work, 007."

* Goldfinger (the person, not the movie) was awesome for the simple reason that he was smarter than most Bond villains. To wit:

'''Goldfinger:''' ''(laughing)'' No, Mister Bond, I expect you to die! }}

** And then Goldfinger [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|stays there to watch Bond die]]. No assuming it will go as planned and that the hero is dead for good old Auric. He's going to be sure he's dead.

*** Bond only survives by bluffing Goldfinger about "Operation Grand Slam".

** "Who said anything about removing it?" Followed by a very subtle [[Oh Crap]] moment from Sean Connery.

* In one part Bond escapes by tricking the lone guard, but is recaptured later. Next scene shows Bond sitting on his bed in the cell. The camera pans to show the same guard now armed and sitting in a chair a few feet away, and then the camera pans some more to show another six or so guards in the cell with him. Bond survives because of his intelligence, not the villain's stupidity for once.

* Oddjob's "pressing engagement".

* Bond using his wits to defeat Oddjob, rather than brute force.
