	Oddjob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oddjob, so named by Goldfinger, is Korean-born, and, much like in the film, he is extremely strong, proven in one sequence where he breaks the railing of a staircase with his hand and the mantle of a fireplace with his foot.
		Oddjob is a henchman to the villain Auric Goldfinger in the James Bond film and novel, Goldfinger.
		(This fate is transferred to Auric Goldfinger in the film version.)

	Bondian.com - Books - Adrian Turner on Goldfinger: Bloomsbury Movie Guide No. 2
		An A-Z encyclopedic reference, similar in style to Stephen Jay Rubin’s The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia, but with an emphasis on any and all things related to the film Goldfinger.
		Highlights include interviews with director Guy Hamilton and Oscar-winning soundman Norman Wanstall, reprints of film reviews, a lengthy entry that traces the development of the screenplay, and an interesting entry on Morland cigarettes and the shop on Grosvenor Street from which Fleming used to buy them.

	GoldenEye (video game)
		GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooter for the Nintendo 64, based on the James Bond film GoldenEye.
		This will be the first game where you will not take on the role of James Bond, but rather an aspiring 00 Agent recruited by Auric Goldfinger, the villian in the movie Goldfinger.
		GoldenEye, the movie, will actually have nothing to do with the game nor does Rogue Agent have anything to do with the GoldenEye, the game.

	03/31/01: The Bond films...
		Connery didn't get a chance to be the James Bond that we know until "Goldfinger", when he and the director decided to stop being so damn serious.
		He was also in the only blaxploitation James Bond film: "Live and Let Die".
		And that was expanded upon and refined in Connery's next Bond outings, "Thunderball", "You Only Live Twice", and "Diamonds Are Forever", which I enjoy more than the first three (okay, I usually enjoy "Goldfinger" more than "Diamonds").

	JB03: Goldfinger
		The last three tracks on the CD ("Dawn Raid on Fort Knox," "The Arrival of the Bomb and Countdown," and "The Death of Goldfinger/End Titles") make for a back-to-back exercise in building suspense, culminating in a most satisfying listening experience and representing the epitome of what film music ought to be.
		On the whole, the main title motif is used more extensively than in Barry's previous score, and given the Goldfinger theme's distinctive, energetic flavor, it is entirely appropriate in the context of the film.
		Somewhat sadly, it marked the end of restraint in regard to humor, for subsequent entries began to rely more and more heavily on the outlandish, all too often going for the cheap thrill or the slapstick rather than the subtle and the tongue-in-cheek, which is where the Bond films truly shine.

	Review: Goldfinger
		In the midst of Bond's "golden era" of the '60s, it's hard to single out one film as the best, but history has shown Goldfinger to be among the series' most enduring entries.
		Goldfinger is studded with moments that have since become deeply embedded in the Bond mythos.
		There are several memorable fight sequences (including a climactic struggle between 007 and Goldfinger's nasty henchman, Oddjob) and a lengthy car chase that has Bond's Aston Martin trailing smoke screens and oil slicks, firing built-in guns, and ejecting the passenger seat.

	ASCAP Presents...The ASCAP EAR, Vol. 2
		In 1996, he moved to Los Angeles to study orchestration and film scoring at UCLA, and in 1999 was selected to be a part of Society of Composers and Lyricist's Mentoring Program, as well as the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop.

		Their decade of hard work paid off in 1999 with a gold record for their infectious single "Kiss Me." The band also appeared on a "Quiet On The Set" showcase in L.A in 1998.

	The Fabulous Shirley Bassey
		Shirley's first big international hit was 1964's "Goldfinger", from the James Bond film of the same name.
		In 1996, Shirley made her much-awaited feature film debut in Chris Rea's "La Passione".
		Her first single was "Burn My Candle", but her first real hit was "Banana Boat Song".

	Goldfinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goldfinger was the first James Bond film to be shown on U.S. television, which occurred on September 17, 1972 on ABC.
		Goldfinger and his army believing the soldiers are dead, blow the main gate and use the laser to break into the vault where he handcuffs Bond to the bomb.
		Bond later learns that Goldfinger's intention is not to steal the gold, a completely unfeasible goal, but to devalue it by detonating an atomic bomb within the depository and contaminating the United States's gold reserve thus making all that gold unusable, thereby increasing the value of his own gold.

	Goldfinger (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goldfinger is a 1990s ska-punk band, formed in 1993 and named after the James Bond film.
		Their full length debut, Goldfinger, was released in 1996 and was a hit on college radio.
		Goldfinger's song "I want" from their album Disconnection Notice is featured in Burnout Revenge on the Playstation 2, Xbox, and XBox 360

	An appreciation of Goldfinger-page 1
		Also, Fleming s book had Goldfinger seriously plotting to steal all the gold in Fort Knox, which, as Bond himself points out in one scene of the film, is utterly impractical.
		Goldfinger s idea (in the book) of taking her to America to serve as a secretary-after she was ready to try to kill him-is ludicrous.
		Goldfinger was playing around the clock at another theater around the corner, but the idea of allowing nine-year old boys to see a naked woman painted gold was too much for Mom and my aunt, so my cousin and I were escorted to the double feature instead.

	GOLDFINGER
		Goldfinger doesn't take to kindly to being screwed with and warns Bond that he's not afraid of him by killing the girl, painting her whole body with toxic gold paint.
		Auric Goldfinger could have all the money in the world, but if you had to choose between him and Bond, the answer is clear.
		GOLDFINGER may not have the coolest gadgets, but it is one of the more sexy and intelligent scripts I've come across in this series.

	Amazon.co.uk: Goldfinger: DVD
		However, after the part where Bond is nearly lasered by Goldfinger, the film goes from 9 out of 10 to around 5-6, mainly due to the long boring scenes with Bond and Pussy Galore.
		Goldfinger's two climaxes, inside Fort Knox and aboard a private plane, have to be seen to be believed.
		The first half of Goldfinger is excellent, with some very memorable moments, such as the car chase with the first modified Aston Martin Bond received.

	Auric Goldfinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Auric Goldfinger is a fictional character in the James Bond film and novel Goldfinger.

	James Bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bond's women, particularly in the films, often have double entendre names, leading to coy jokes, for example, "Pussy Galore" in Goldfinger (a name invented by Fleming), "Plenty O'Toole" in Diamonds Are Forever, and "Xenia Onatopp" (a villainess sexually excited by strangling men with her thighs) in GoldenEye.
		Bond in the films is a graduate with a degree in Oriental languages from Cambridge University, as stated in You Only Live Twice—contradicting the novels, and Tomorrow Never Dies, wherein he cannot use a Chinese computer keyboard.
		The second anthology, Octopussy and The Living Daylights (in many editions titled only Octopussy), originally only contained two short stories, "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights"; a third story, "The Property of a Lady" was added in the 1967 paperback edition, and a fourth, "007 in New York", was added in 2002.

	007Forever.com
		GoldenEye cannot hold a candle to Goldfinger or The Spy Who Loved Me. Nor is the film as good as You Only Live Twice, Octopussy or The Living Daylights.
		GoldenEye certainly has all the trappings of the classic Bond films; beautiful women, exotic locations, and an evil villain with a dastardly plot.
		GoldenEye got the job done in 1995 but appears lackluster at the millennium; its appeal has been overshadowed by the newer films' brilliance.

	Goldfinger
		Goldfinger is a great Bond film not only because of its terrific performances and neat plot, but also because of its exciting action scenes and individual scenes that stand out.
		Goldfinger's presentation of his plan to attack Fort Knox is played out with darkening lights, a huge screen with photos taken from the air, a pool table which flips around to turn into a control console and finally the floor opening up to reveal a scale model of Fort Knox.
		Goldfinger's henchman is Oddjob (Harold Sakata), who is mute (though he can grunt orders) and has a deadly bowler hat that can be thrown like a Frisbee and cut objects in half.

	DVD Review - Goldfinger
		Finally, Goldfinger is involving hard-edged criminals and his own army to put Operation Grand Slam into practice, and it is up to Bond to rid the world of this madman and stop the crime of the century.
		Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) is a millionaire and gold magnate who has caught the secret service’s attention.
		But even apart from the car, "Goldfinger" is a treasure of ideas and creates some great scenarios where 007 has to use his wits and his muscles to get his way out of it.

	Trivia for Goldfinger (1964)
		Goldfinger was intended to be lighter in tone and less political than the first two Bond films.
		The Mustang was introduced in April of 1964 and Goldfinger was released in December.
		After the film was released, rumors circulated that Shirley Eaton had actually died on set, owing to the misconception that the gold paint caused asphyxiation.

		Erno Goldfinger was one of the 20th century's prime advocates of London tower blocks.
		The story of the Erno Goldfinger's vehement reaction when the author Ian Fleming appropriated his name - and aspects of his character - with deliberate savagery for the villain and title of the James Bond novel was disclosed at the Guardian Hay festival.

	Bright Lights Film Journal 007 and Leni Riefenstahl
		In Robert Brownjohn’s design, scenes from the film are projected onto the gold-painted body of a woman as a direct tie into the title, the theme song sung by Shirley Bassey, and villain Goldfinger’s (Gert Fröbe) plans to control the world’s gold supply.
		The film’s notion of Sir James Bond’s Edwardian superiority, the transformation of contemporary Bond into multiple copies, and the ultimate destruction of the villain as well as the hero(es) is the clear rejection of modernity for an openly mythic and transcendent solution to a technocratic world.
		It is little wonder that Olympia, often called the greatest sport film ever made, would provide the pattern for the image of the female body in a film series that has attempted to celebrate the physical cult of the space age and beyond.

	Goldfinger
		This fact alone helps make “Goldfinger” the best Bond film of all.
		Auric Goldfinger is the all-time best Bond villain, and one of the best villains in movie history.
		Besides helping Goldfinger cheat Bond in a round of golf, Oddjob’s other duties include smothering naked women in gold paint (for a bronze tan most would die for), and administering death via a blow from a lethal tophat.

	Goldfinger
		I'm giving GOLDFINGER 5 stars not because it's a great film, but because it's perhaps the best of several with Connery as Bond, and the one that could well immortalize Sean to human history in that role.
		Bond foils an attempt by Auric Goldfinger to destroy the value of the bullion held in Fort Knox.
		The only downside is that "Goldfinger" is where the 007 franchise starts veering from elements of realism into a live-action adult cartoon.

		Goldfinger 's two climaxes, inside Fort Knox and aboard a private plane, have to be seen to be believed.
		Goldfinger is the best of the James Bond series, while "Thunderball" wins the Silver Medal and "You Only Live Twice" wins the Bronze.
		The theme song, sung by Shirley Bassey, and the film's background music, are great and worthy of any music collection.
