Trivia and QuotesQuotes Auric Goldfinger: Man has climbed Mount Everest, gone to the bottom of the ocean. He`s fired rockets at the Moon, split the atom, achieved miracles in every field of human endeavor... except crime! Pussy Galore: My name is Pussy Galore.
James Bond: I must be dreaming. James Bond: Manners, Oddjob. I thought you always took your hat off to a lady.
James Bond: [to Pussy] You know, he kills little girls like you.
Pussy Galore: Little boys, too.Trivia The Auric Goldfinger villain character is parodied as "Goldmember" in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Ironically, when Ernö Goldfinger sought legal advice in regard to Ian Fleming using his surname in the "Goldfinger" novel, Fleming allegedly considered re-naming the character "Goldprick".
First opening credits sequence to show the actor playing James Bond. This is by utilizing footage from the first two James Bond films Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963). This technique would be repeated in On Her Majesty`s Secret Service (1969). The first time an image of the actor playing James Bond would be part of the actual title sequence itself (i.e. not by way of footage edited into it) would not occur until The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). The original choice for the spy car of the film was not the Aston Martin DB5 but an E-Type Jaguar, which cost half as much. The E-Type Jaguar was a car model actually driven by production designer Ken Adam. Jaguar declined and the producers went to Aston Martin`s David Brown. He supplied them two production prototypes of the newly released Aston Martin DB5. One was used for straight driving and the other was for adding various gadgets and features by Ken Adam. The Ford Motor Company happily supplied a Lincoln Continental for the car compactor scene in exchange for featuring their new model Ford Mustang in the Swiss mountain driving sequence. During the crushing of the Lincoln, the crew remained totally silent, in awe of what they were doing. Aston Martin were initially reluctant to part with two of their cars for the production. The producers had to pay for the Aston Martin, but after the success of the film, both at the box office and for the company, they never had to spend money on a car again. | ||
