Goldfinger

Revealing mistake: After Bond and Felix first meet, the background behind Goldfinger is a blatant rear projection. Notice how the couple behind him is completely frozen, as if someone forgot to start the projection running. (00:10:00)

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: When Felix points at Goldfinger's card-game partner, watch the two extras on the right. They stand perfectly still for several seconds before suddenly starting to walk—waiting for the crew's cue. (00:10:04)

Factual error: A crushed Lincoln would be too heavy for a Ford Falcon Ranchero to haul. (01:22:05)

Questions

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.
