Goldfinger (1964) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when filming Goldfinger (1964) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- Bond and Leiter are watching Goldfinger playing cards in the beginning. In the close-up Bond picks up a towel but when we see Bond and Leiter again in a long shot, the towel is gone.
- When Bond steps out onto the sun deck behind Jill Masterson, he reaches down and turns off the transmitter that is in front of Jill. But when she turns around and says "Who are you?" Bond is only just walking out onto the deck.
- Bond and Jill Masterson are found in bed at the hotel. As the camera moves up the length of the bed, the girls legs are in full view, however as the camera cuts back from the ringing telephone, the girl's legs are now under the bed clothes.
- When Bond discovers the dead gold-covered Jill Masterson, she can't seem to decide what to do with her right foot. The right foot alternates between the same position and one where the foot is lying flat on top of the bed and pointed to the right.
- Bond is at dinner with M and Colonel Smithers and they start discussing the brandy. The decanter is passed to Bond who smells it. The next shot is of M, who is sitting across from Bond. However, the decanter is still in front of M on the table! The next shot shows Bond still sniffing the decanter he holds in his hand.
- At the country club, Goldfinger wants to show Bond who's really in charge, so he tells Oddjob to throw his hat at a statue. Oddjob does that and the head of the statue comes off but the hat continues it's flight. But in the next scene you see the statue's head and the hat side by side on the ground.
- When Bond is chasing Tilly Masterson in his Aston Martin and starts using his gadgets, a dark sleeve can be seen opening the arm rest where the console is hidden. However, Bond is wearing a light-brown suit.
- After Bond blows Tilly's tires out, she gets out and looks at them. She gets very mad over her tires but she apparently doesn't care about the perfectly visible gash down the side of the car!
- "Auric Enterprises" can be seen written on the side of the jet, close to the cockpit, when it's on the ground. Yet in the previous scenes where it is airborne there are no letters on the side of the plane at all.
- Oddjob takes Mr. Solo to the "airport" in a Lincoln. He then kills Mr. Solo and leaves the Lincoln at a junk yard and a crane picks it up to put it in a car crusher. When the crane lifts the car you can see that the car has no engine but it had to have had it before.
- Note the position of the shadow cast by Oddjob's car upon pulling into the junk yard after killing Mr. Solo. The shadow is directly beneath the car, suggesting mid-day. The next shot, with Oddjob leaving the car, from further back now shows the shadow to be casting well to the left of the car, suggesting late afternoon! Could this be the amount of time it took the mechanics to remove the engine as pointed out in the fault above?
- When Oddjob drives away with the crushed Lincoln and we see the CIA agents pass him, you can see that his car has whitewall tires. However, when he drives up to Goldfinger's ranch, the car has blackwall tires.
- When Bond and Goldfinger are on the porch, drinking Mint Julep you can see a small angle of ashadow on the top of the pillars. A few moments later, as a wide shot appears again, the shadow has changed drastically and too quickly suggesting that this was filmed a lot later in the day.
- When Bond is ducking from Oddjob's lethal hat in Fort Knox you can see the hat landing somewhere on the bars that cover the gold bullion. Later on, when Bond frees himself from the handcuffs, the hat is in the corner of the walkway.
