James Bond - Goldfinger
- Year: 1964
- Song: Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey)
- Running Time: 4:50
James' first appearance in this film is with a duck on his head, though it's alright he's using it as camouflage. This James Bond can probably be credited with the first appearance of the inept guard: James fires a grappling hook over a wall, a guard notices this, sees the rope and just looks puzzled, before James jumps on him and immediately knocks him unconscious!
Sneaking into a bunch of silos in a factory of some sort, he runs directly to one of them, and flips a secret switch a concealed door swings open, inside he runs. There is an office of some sort, which also houses high explosesives it would seem. James lays some of his own explosives over these barrels and sets a timer. He runs out.
A classic moment comes next, he removes his dry-suit, and underneath is a white tux, calmy, ever so cooly, he walks into a bar situated beside the silos. Checking his watch, and lighting a cigarette, the bombs go off, he has no reaction while the rest of the bar go crazy running outside, shouting. Another man sits at the bar, he also doesn't react to the explosion. The man warns him of returning to his hotel, and to be on a plane leaving for Miami in an hour.
James walks in on the belly-dancing girl in the bath, she is his 'unfinished business'!
Another classic moment follows, the girl is working for the bad guys, and as they kiss, a thug walks up behind James, he sees him coming in the reflection of her eyes! Swinging her around, she gets hit on the back of the head by the thug. After disposing of the thug (by eloctrocution) and saying a one-liner ("shocking"), he walks out.
Note: James still wears a hat in the opening gun barrel scene.
Classic Quote
Girl: "Why do you always wear that thing?" (reffering to his gun)
James: "I have a slight inferiority complex."
