Suggested correction: The Rolls wouldn't be 100% gold; much of the bodywork could be, but there would be steel areas to maintain the integrity of the vehicle for driving, and the boot lid where he attaches the device could be made of steel. I suspect a car made entirely from gold, which is a soft metal, would be undriveable as it would likely not stand up to the rigours of road travelling.

Also, gold has a density nearly three times more than steel, so a gold car wouldn't be able to move or be transported by air.

Continuity mistake: When Pussy Galore's Flying Circus lands at Blue Grass Field, the blonde girl we see getting out of the first Piper is not among the group of pilots who report to Pussy in the next shot.

Question: Why did Goldfinger go through the hassle of telling the other gangsters his plan, only to kill them right after?

Answer: Goldfinger wants to keep the charade going up until the end so the others suspect nothing unusual. It is also a means of exposition to explain the plot to the audience.

Answer: I believe that Goldfinger is a showman / show off and wanted to boast for the pure hell of it. Also I think that he had to string them along so they wouldn't suspect he was about to do what he ultimately did to them.

Alan Keddie

Answer: Like all Bond villains, he wants someone to appreciate his genius, even if he plans to kill that person immediately after. How many times have villains told Bond their plans, then stuck him in a deathtrap that he manages to escape? These guys got the same treatment except for that part at the end.
