Mistakes

When Bond first sees golden Jill on the bed she is lying diagonally across the bed with her right foot on the bed and pointed like a ballerina on points. As Bond approaches the bed her right foot is pointing towards the camera. The last shot of Jill's legs show both her feet hanging over the end of the bed meaning that she has changed position and is now lying straight along the bed. See more...

Trivia

The character 'Pussy Galore' was named after Ian Fleming's pet octopus; a pet octopus also appears in 'Octopussy'. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Mr. Solo leaves for the airport, the bars of gold are loaded, unpackaged, and in the trunk of the car. Assuming he was flying commercially, was he going to check the bars of gold as luggage? [Before Solo leaves, Goldfinger says something like "My jet will take you back," meaning that he is not flying commercially.]
Entry The man ejected from the car by Bond has a parachute on his back. [At first, it looks like a parachute, but if you go a few seconds further into the scene, it looks more like a car seat for the stunt man or dummy become separated from it.]
Entry When Goldfinger flips the pool table over to show the model of Fort Knox, Bond watches through a vent in the floor and sticks his head up in one of the model buildings and looks out. What? I thought there was a pool table on the other side of the model. It's impossible to think that the pool table on the other side vanished off of the face of the earth right after Goldfinger turned it over. [Actually, the pool table turns over into the control panel for the model and the lights. A gangster says, "Hey, what's with that trick pool table", before the lights dim and the Fort Knox model even appears. The floor then slides (with some surprised gangsters on it) and the Fort Knox model rises from the opening. You can see Bond is standing on the hydralic mechanism that lifts the model into place.]
Entry When Bond is making Goldfinger lose money at the card game, how does he know how much to tell him to lose? The game might have been for only $100 and $15k would have been absurdly high, or it might have been for $100,000 and $15k would have been absurdly low. And why would Jill say, "I'm beginning to like you, Mr. Bond" with the mike still on and Goldfinger able to hear this, revealing her disloyalty? [Mr. Simmons, Goldfinger's competitor, says a line something like "When you're ten thousand dollars in the hole, you're ready for anything." Bond must have overheard it.]
Entry The Connery Bond needs help to defuse a nuke, the Moore Bond can defuse one on his own, And the Brosnan Bond can't defuse one at all. [These are different bombs of different designs at different times, so Bond may well have varying degrees of skill at defusing them. Although you would have thought if they're going to teach Bond one type, they'd teach him more as and when the technology advances].
