Entry Once when I watched this on TV the laser room scene was different. 1)Bond pulls out a mirror and reflects the beam to cut the straps holding him to the table. 2)Bond runs off to get away but gets shot by a tranquiliser gun. Has anybody else seen this version? [I have found no information about the existence of such a version and I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist. But your description does sound an awful lot like an episode of The Simpsons called 'You Only Move Twice' (S08E02). In that episode Homer gets a new boss, Hank Scorpio, who happens to be a super villain. In one scene Scorpio has capture an agent called Bont and is about to kill him with a laser like in Goldfinger. Bont escapes by using a coin to deflect the laser and cut the straps holding him. Bont isn't stopped by a tranquilizer gun though, but by Homer tackling him.]
Entry Why did Pussy Galore join the good side? Was she a American undercover agent? [If I understand correctly Bond and Ms. Galore had a romantic encounter and during that Bond explained the full intent of Goldfinger (killing all the innocent people at Ft. Knox)to her. Apparently willing to go along with the theft of the gold at Ft. Knox, Ms. Galore was unwilling to go along with mass murder.]
Entry Q demonstrated the switches for the left and right front-wing machine guns - why is the "right" control on the left and vise versa? [They're not. Q was just indicating to Bond that these were the wing machine guns, he wasn't stating which was which.]
