Line 7:
** Goldfinger himself is a good example. He's easily the most famous [[Big Bad]] from the film series, even over [[Arch Enemy|Blofeld]].
* [[Fridge Logic]]: So why did Oddjob crush the Lincoln Continental? The gangster was already dead. He could have just drove it back.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: While ''[[Dr. No (Film)|Dr. No]]'' and ''[[From Russia With Love (Film)|From Russia Withwith Love]]'' are still well thought of it was ''Goldfinger'' that was the first Bond to be a huge hit at the box office, establish most of the tropes common to the series and show how flat out awesome Bond could be.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [[Take That|"That's as bad as listening to]] [[The Beatles (Musicband)|The Beatles]] [[Take That|without earmuffs."]] Guess [[Paul McCartney|who]] recorded the theme to ''[[Live and Let Die (Filmfilm)|Live and Let Die]]''?
** And guess who would later [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NUpOovSItA do a spoken word cover] of "In My Life"?
** In all fairness however, this line may have been a take that aimed not at the Beatles themselves, but rather the hordes of screaming fangirls at their concerts and shows. Seeing as this film was released in 1964, Beatlemania was in full effect...
** Also, [[Ringo Starr]] married a Bond girl (Barbara Bach from ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me (Film)|The Spy Who Loved Me]]'').
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The crotch laser scene along with the line "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!"
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: Many people start the Bond series with this one. Or think this is the best, among ''22''.
