Attempted methods of killing Bond:

  • During the attack on Fort Knox, Bond is left hand-cuffed to the atomic device.
How he is dispatched:
  • Goldfinger hijacks the plane taking Bond to meet the U.S. president. When he threatens to shoot Bond, he is overpowered but manages to fire a shot, blowing out a window of the plane. In the rapid decompression, Bond grabs a hand-hold, but Goldfinger is sucked out of the plane to his death.

    007: Playing his golden harp.

  • Bond attempts to defuse the bomb. With just a few ticks left, an expert comes in and turns off the bomb.
Henchman:
Defining dialogue:

  • Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!


  • "This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've admired it's color, it's brilliance, it's divine heaviness. I welcome any enterprise that will increase my stock... which is considerable!"

  • "Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond. It may be your last."
  • "You will be there to see it for yourself. A little too close for comfort, I'm afraid."

  • "Many people have tried to involve themselves in my affairs. Unsuccessfully."

  • "Please excuse me, Mr. Bond, but I must arrange to have my gold separated from the late Mr. Solo."
  • Bond, after witnessing Oddjob decapitate a nearby statue: "Remarkable. But what does the club secretary have to say?"
Goldfinger: "Oh, nothing, Mr. Bond. I own the club"
