* Just the fact that Goldfinger's plan is both audacious and yet simple: set off a dirty bomb in Fort Knox, render the main gold supply of the United States radioactive and thus unusable for almost sixty years, which means Goldfinger's personal gold supply skyrockets in value. Basically, it's an insider trading scam taken to the tenth power with the Chinese aiding as the economic chaos resulting from this plays into their best interests. Rather than be disdainful as with other villains, Bond has to give Goldfinger props for this, sounding honestly impressed by his daring.
-->'''Bond''': My apologies, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal.

* Bond using his wits to defeat Oddjob, rather than brute force.
** [[TheDragon Oddjob]] himself is completely awesome. And Bond hardly uses his wits until that final, desperate improvisation. What really makes it so awesome is that Connery's Bond is clearly scared shitless by Oddjob's apparent invulnerability, every blow proceeding through fists to wooden clubs to ''freakin' bars of solid gold'' doing nothing. It's rare to see Bond scared, and almost always awesome when he is. Plus, a villain who can be that scary without even saying a word is quite awesome.
*** Also a real one for Harold Sakata, who was badly burned by the pyrotechnics but still held on until he heard the director yell "Cut!" to end the take.

* Bond gives Goldfinger a quick rundown of the logistical problems of removing the gold, ending with an amusing prediction that when reinforcements show up within a couple of hours, they'll make Goldfinger put everything back. Goldfinger's response: "[[WhamLine Whoever mentioned anything about]] ''[[WhamLine removing]]'' [[WhamLine it?]]" Followed by a very subtle OhCrap moment from Sean Connery as a hoary movie cliche is neatly avoided as Bond figures out the actual, genuinely brilliant plan, which Goldfinger confirms. He then implicitly threatens to nuke a even more significant American asset (Cape Kennedy, The White House, etc.) should the authorities try to locate his atomic device before it reaches Fort Knox.

No meta moment, see this query.

* A meta one for how the novel and its villain were named. Fleming had a long-standing grudge against architect Erno Goldfinger, who had demolished some old Victorian houses in the '30s to build a proto-brutalist mansion for himself. Fleming had remembered this in the '50s when he created Auric Goldfinger. The real-life Goldfinger was incensed and threatened to sue Fleming for libel, to which [[DeadpanSnarker Fleming]] replied [[RefugeInAudacity "I'll change the name to Goldprick".]] The notoriously testy Goldfinger backed down, and the rest is history.
** The response is even more HilariousInHindsight since 2002, when the Bond-mocking comedy ''Film/AustinPowersInGoldmember'' hit theaters.

* The golf match between Bond and Goldfinger is probably the best example of Fleming's beloved "Bond plays a supposedly friendly game with the villain" after [[Literature/CAsinoRoyale baccarat with Le Chiffre]] and [[Literature/{{Moonraker}} bridge with Hugo Drax]]. Tense and thrilling even for non-golfers, and Bond and Hawker's cooperation to bring down the dirty cheat Goldfinger is heartwarming.
