This was the third Film/JamesBond film and is one of the most famous of the series. Part of what made it so good is that it is a shining example of a PragmaticAdaptation that changed the title villain's rather ridiculous plot to literally rob Fort Knox in IanFleming's original novel into a plan that feels honestly and believably ingenious (not to mention changing the book's rather blatant [[ValuesDissonance racism and sexism]]).
Has several famous Bond-movie scenes, including Goldfinger threatening to cut Bond in half with a laser, Bond's high-stakes golf game and the death of Goldfinger's [[HeelFaceTurn traitorous employee]] Jill Masterson, who for helping Bond ends up with her neck broken, her naked body sprawled across her bed and [[BodyPaint painted gold]].
This movie also gave the franchise its first CoolCar. In fact, one of the great virtues of the film is that the gadgets shown, such as the car and the personal tracer, are ''40+ years old'' and they still look both believable and neat (and in the case of the GPS-esque tracer, are modern-day consumer goods).
Not to be confused with the ska band of the same name.
----
!!Do you expect me to talk?
* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: When Bond figures out Goldfinger's diabolical plan.
* AffablyEvil: Goldfinger.
--> '''Goldfinger:''' Is that julep tart enough for you, Mr. Bond?
* AmazonBrigade: Pussy Galore's Flying Circus.
* AntagonistTitle
* BadassInANiceSuit: ''Oddjob''.
* BattleButler: Oddjob
* TheBigBoard: The Fort Knox model Goldfinger shows off to the mobsters.
* BigRedButton: The famous button under the stick shift in James Bond's car that activates the ejector seat.
* BizarreAndImprobableGolfGame: "If that's his ball I'm Arnold Palmer."
* BlingBlingBang: Goldfinger's gold plated revolver, which he uses at Fort Knox and later in his own airplane.
* BoardToDeath: Goldfinger and the mobsters who supplied his equipment needs.
* BodyPaint: Jill Masterson
* BondOneLiner: "Shocking"; "As you said, he had a pressing engagement."; "Where is Goldfinger?" "Playing his golden harp"; "Where's your butler friend [Oddjob]?" "He blew a fuse."
* BondVillainStupidity: More or less averted. While Goldfinger does keep Bond alive, it's because he prefers keeping Bond under his thumb rather than MI-6 just sending another agent in Bond's place and wants to trick the good guys into thinking Bond is doing better than he actually is (in reality, had Bond not turned Pussy in the eleventh hour, Goldfinger almost certainly would have won). Goldfinger is also incredibly GenreSavvy for a Bond villain, opting not to underestimate Bond's craftiness.
* BulletproofVest: An Q-Branch agent gives one a test of fire.
* CeilingCling: Bond, to make a guard think he's escaped and ambush him.
* ContinuousDecompression: After the window of Goldfinger's jet is shattered by a bullet.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Inversion when the laser beam moves toward Bond instead of the other way around.
* CoolCar: Bond's Aston Martin [=DB5=], with all of its cool gadgets.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Goldfinger.
* CureYourGays: In the book (and possibly the movie as well, it's never touched upon), Pussy is a LipstickLesbian until Bond's magic penis makes her reconsider.
** Honor Blackman discussed this aspect in a 2006 AMC television special, "Bond Girls Are Forever". She thinks that Pussy only believed she was a lesbian because Goldfinger abused her pretty badly, and Bond's charm got her in touch with her actual heterosexuality.
* CutTheJuice: The frequently-parodied scene where Bond is about to deal with his WireDilemma, whereupon a disposal technician steps over, calmly reaches under a panel on the bomb, and ''switches it off''.
* DeadlyGas: The Delta 9 nerve gas used to kill the gangsters and intended to kill the Fort Knox guards.
* DeadManSwitch: Bond tells Goldfinger that his death will cause another agent (008) to replace him.
* DeathBySex: Jill Masterson, murdered by Oddjob on Goldfinger's orders after having sex with Bond. In the book, [[spoiler: her sister Tilly]] dies because she had [[spoiler: become sexually obsessed with Pussy Galore]].
* DirtyCommunists: In the novel, Goldfinger is revealed to be working for SMERSH (a Soviet counterintelligence organization).
** In the movie, Goldfinger obtains his dirty-bomb material from RedChina, which views his scheme as an opportunity to create "economic chaos in the West".
* DisneyVillainDeath: Kisch, thrown over a railing to his death by Oddjob.
** [[spoiler: Goldfinger himself]] gets sucked out of a plane before "[[BondOneLiner playing his golden harp.]]"
* DistressedDude: The scene where Bond is strapped down to a table with a laser beam slowly approaching his groin.
* DoubleEntendre: [[IncrediblyLamePun "Shocking, positively shocking."]]
** Also, [[PunnyName Pussy Galore.]]
* TheDragon: Oddjob
* DressingAsTheEnemy: After the army arrives, Goldfinger dresses himself as a U.S. soldier to escape.
* DropDeadGorgeous: Jill Masterson lying dead on the bed, painted gold. This is perhaps one of the franchise's most famous images.
* EjectorSeat
* ElectrifiedBathtub: Which even burned the actor, see below.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: After a car drives over a cliff, it explodes in midair.
** At the end, a plane immediately explodes upon contact with the ocean.
* EvilGenius: Mr. Ling, the Chinese nuclear expert.
* FakeoutEscape: Bond tricks the guard into thinking he's escaped, [[CeilingCling clings onto the ceiling]], and then drops down behind him once the guard opens the door.
* FiveBadBand
** TheBigBad: Goldfinger, natch.
** TheDragon & TheBrute: Oddjob
** TheEvilGenius: Mr. Ling
** TheDarkChick: Pussy Galore
** MookLieutenant: Mr. Kisch
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Oddjob's statue-breaking and later [[NeckSnap neck breaking]].
* FrickinLaserBeams: Torture device and door opener in one.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The producers considered renaming Pussy "Kitty Galore", but decided the name wasn't much harmful. And then they took the censor out for dinner... ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldfinger_(film)#Cast no, really]])
** It's rumored that Bond's response to her introduction was going to be "I know, but what's your name?"
* GoKartingWithBowser: Bond plays a round of golf with Goldfinger (who naturally, cheats). Bond doesn't exactly play fair, either.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny
* GroinAttack: Just barely averted. How do you get Bond to stop cracking wise? Slowly inch a laser closer and closer to his manly parts.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: both played straight and subverted.
* HeelFaceTurn: Pussy Galore
** Don't forget Jill Masterson early on.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Bond's fellow 00 agent 008.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Pussy Galore, after being [[strike: raped]] seduced by Bond.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Oddjob is electrocuted while holding his steel-bladed hat.
* HollywoodDensity: Bond uses two gold bars to break open the bomb and throws a gold bar at Oddjob.
** Bond does seem to have some trouble lifting them.
** And the scene in which Bond explains why stealing the gold would be impractical (following which Goldfinger explains his ''real'' plan) is probably the most famous aversion in cinema.
*** And also a nod to the book's plot, where it was really Goldfinger's plan. [[AdaptationDistillation The screenwriters consciously changed it.]]
** You might notice the cube resulted from the crushed Continental lacks wheels, and for something that'd be at least 2 tons (specially for the gold in the trunk), it barely makes a difference for the pick-up truck that receives it.[[hottip:*:The film crew actually had to cut the cube in half so the truck could support the weight.]]
* ImplacableMan: Oddjob takes a thrown gold bar in the chest without flinching. In fact, the only time he appears to be even mildly uneasy in the film is when Bond attempts to use his own killer hat against him.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Oddjob's razor-rimmed hat.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Oddjob and his razor-rimmed hat.
* IncrediblyLongNote: He loves '''GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLD!!!'''
* InstantSedation: Kisch uses a tranquilizer dart gun on a helpless Bond.
* IntimidationDemonstration: Oddjob demonstrates his ability with his killer bowler hat early in the film, {{Foreshadowing}} the fight with Bond at the end.
* ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt: Bond and his ForcefulKiss of Pussy Galore is a mild example.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: {{Subverted}} and {{inverted}} -- Goldfinger brags about his plan to his business partners, knowing that he's going to [[spoiler:kill them all]] anyway and that it won't make the slightest bit of difference if he tells them. What Goldfinger doesn't realise is that Bond is listening in on his little presentation; however, Bond misinterprets Goldfinger's plan and thinks that [[spoiler:he intends to steal all of Fort Knox's gold, when in actual fact he intends to make it radioactive]].
* KickTheDog: In the novel, Goldfinger gives his cat to Oddjob for dinner after it 'accidentally' foils his plot to spy on Bond.
* LargeHam: Gert Frobe set the standard for cartoonish supervillainy.
* LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: Bond is able to fool then KO a guard.
* LoopingLines: All of Goldfinger's lines are dubbed, as Gert Frobe spoke very poor English. It's really an amazing job, and you'd never know just watching the film.
* MagicCountdown: The nuclear TimeBomb in Fort Knox.
* MayDecemberRomance: Averted. Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore) is the oldest Bond girl.
* MeaningfulName: Goldfinger's first name, Auric, is the Latin word for "gold".
* MoneyFetish: "This is ''gold'', Mr. Bond. all my life I've been in love with its colour, its brilliance, its divine heaviness..."
* MookLieutenant: Kisch. He isn't exactly TheDragon, but he's close.
* MurphysBullet: When Tilly tries to kill Goldfinger.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: Bond talking to Q about his car's ejector seat.
* TheNapoleon: In Fleming's novel, Goldfinger is both this and an EvilRedhead.
* TheNastyParty: Goldfinger explaining his scheme to the gangsters and then killing them.
* NaziGold: Bond uses it as bait during the golf game.
* NeckSnap: How Oddjob kills Tilly Masterson.
* NeverMessWithGranny: The old lady working as a guard decides to get an MP 40 to shoot the Aston Martin (AlfredHitchcock told Guy Hamilton it was his favorite scene).
* NiceHat: Nice ''Killer'' Hat. Just mind any wiring about.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Pussy Galore tells Bond he's Goldfinger's guest. Later, Goldfinger serves Bond a mint julep, explains his plan and has Pussy give him a tour. Trope namer, [[JustForPun more or less]].
* OhCrap: "Who said anything about ''removing'' it, Mr. Bond?" Also counts as a WhamLine.
* OilSlick: One fo the gadgets in Bond's car.
* OneSceneWonder: Jill Masterson has 5 minutes of screentime, but due to an iconic death, is one of the most well-remembered elements of the series.
** The old lady who pulls out and MP 40 and shoots at Bond's Aston Martin when he escapes from Goldfinger's henchmen.
* OperationBlank: "Operation Grand Slam" is the name of Goldfinger's EvilPlan for Fort Knox, in both novel and film.
* PinballProtagonist: Aside from [[RapeIsLove "convincing"]] Pussy to switch the gas canisters (and killing Oddjob), Bond actually has very little impact on the plot.
* PoolScene: Where Bond caught Goldfinger cheating at cards.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Over the original book.
* ProductPlacement: By Aston Martin and Ford (who provided Tilly's Mustang and the Lincoln Continental which gets crushed). Averted when Guy Hamilton thought using the scene Bond's in the bathroom (and uses all he can to hide the "magic eyes") to showcase Gilette products was silly.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: Bond, while fighting Oddjob in the Fort Knox vault.
* PunnyName: Pussy Galore. In the film this was supposed to be lampshaded, with Bond's response to her telling him her name being "I'm sure you are, but what's your name?" but this was considered likely to annoy the censors. Bond's incredulous "I must be dreaming" is lampshading enough.
** There's also Goldfinger's first name; Auric.
* RapeAsBackstory: In the novel, Pussy Galore hints that's why she's not into men.
* RapeAsComedy: Bond's martial arts sparring and wrestling with Pussy Galore before forcing himself upon her. It's thankfully subverted since she returns his kiss while they're still fully clothed, but it's still uncomfortable to watch.
* RapeIsLove: Bond and Jill Masterton, in the original book. In the film, Bond forcibly kisses her, and she becomes immediately willing.
* ReflectiveEyes: Bond dodges an attack when he sees his attacker reflected in a woman's eyes.
* SameLanguageDub: Gert Frobe did not speak English, so he spoke phonetically and was dubbed over.
* SacrificialLamb: Jill Masterson [[spoiler: and her sister Tilly]].
* SceneryPorn: The drive through France and Switzerland. The book includes large sections describing the scenery.
* ScienceMarchesOn: Jill's death by "skin suffocation" was based on an erroneous [[http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/goldfinger.asp belief of the time]]. Basically, she wouldn't have suffocated as long as she could still breathe from her mouth or nose, as obvious as that sounds. ''MythBusters'' also got in on the debunking.
** And even ''MythBusters'' got it wrong the first time, affirming the myth. Only after doctors contacted them did they do it again and get it right.
* SexFaceTurn: Pussy Galore, with JamesBond. In the book, Pussy was only faking at being a lesbian due to a history of sexual assault and a belief that there were no good men left in the world.
* SlipperySkid: Caused by the CoolCar's oil slick device.
* TheSpeechless: Oddjob.
* SpikedWheels: ''Originally'' used on the Aston Martin.
* SpyTuxReveal: The TropeCodifier.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Bond during the laser interrogation scene.
* SuddenlySexuality: Pussy Galore goes straight for Bond.
* TakeThat: Bond finds time to slam TheBeatles.
-->'''James Bond''': My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!
** Nine years later, Paul [=McCartney=] did the theme for ''{{Live and Let Die}}''
* TapOnTheHead
* TechMarchesOn: Averted so far considering how the gadgets in this film have aged surprisingly well and still look believable and practical. For instance, the personal tracer looks about the right size that such a device might look right if made today and its hiding place in the heel of Bond's shoe still looks neat.

* ThrownFromTheZeppelin: Goldfinger's crushing response to a gangster's refusal to join him.
* TimeBomb: The nuclear bomb in Fort Knox.
* TrackingDevice
* TranquillizerDart: While Bond is helplessly strapped to a table, Kisch renders him unconscious with a tranquilizer dart pistol.
* TreasureRoom: The Fort Knox room full of gold bars.
* TropeCodifier: Pick a TuxedoAndMartini SpyFiction cliche -- chances are good that it was popularized by this movie.
** This movie, more than ''FromRussiaWithLove'' and certainly more than ''DrNo'', defined the aspects of a Bond movie especially with promoting Q and his arsenal of gadgets.
* {{Tuckerization}}: IanFleming named Goldfinger after his neighbour.
* TuxedoAndMartini: The TropeCodifier.
* UnflinchingWalk: Bond's reaction to the explosion at the start of the movie.
* TheVillainSucksSong: ShirleyBassey would like to remind you that Goldfinger does, in fact, love gold. A lot.
* TheVoiceless: Oddjob.
* WackyWaysideTribe: Bond's infiltration and blowing up of a stash of "heroin-flavored bananas" at the start of the movie.
* WatchThePaintJob: Bond's Aston Martin [=DB5=] is ruined when Bond runs it into a brick wall.
** Also, the Lincoln Continental put in a car crusher (the crew said everyone on set [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone was silent at seeing such a brand new car getting destroyed]], and during a screening of the dailies, the projectionist entered the room angry asking if they really did it).
* WeHaveWaysOfMakingYouTalk: Subverted. Goldfinger doesn't expect Bond to talk. He expects him to ''die''.
* WeaponizedCar: The Aston Martin [=DB5=], which was also Bond's first WeaponizedCar. Its arsenal included [[MoreDakka Machine Guns]], tyre-slashers, oil-slicks, a smokescreen, bullet-proof shield and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rotating license plates]].
** What about the ejector seat?
* WireDilemma: Subverted while Bond is trying to deactivate the nuclear bomb.
* WouldHitAGirl: Or in the case of opening teaser, allow a girl to be hit by '''someone else'''. Even though Bond has no qualms about hurting women himself.

->'''Goldfinger''': [[MemeticMutation No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!]]
This was the third Film/JamesBond film and is one of the most famous of the series. Part of what made it so good is that it is a shining example of a PragmaticAdaptation that changed the title villain's rather ridiculous plot to literally rob Fort Knox in IanFleming's original novel into a plan that feels honestly and believably ingenious (not to mention changing the book's rather blatant [[ValuesDissonance racism and sexism]]).
Has several famous Bond-movie scenes, including Goldfinger threatening to cut Bond in half with a laser, Bond's high-stakes golf game and the death of Goldfinger's [[HeelFaceTurn traitorous employee]] Jill Masterson, who for helping Bond ends up with her neck broken, her naked body sprawled across her bed and [[BodyPaint painted gold]].
This movie also gave the franchise its first CoolCar. In fact, one of the great virtues of the film is that the gadgets shown, such as the car and the personal tracer, are ''40+ years old'' and they still look both believable and neat (and in the case of the GPS-esque tracer, are modern-day consumer goods).
Not to be confused with the ska band of the same name.
----
!!Do you expect me to talk?
* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: When Bond figures out Goldfinger's diabolical plan.
* AffablyEvil: Goldfinger.
--> '''Goldfinger:''' Is that julep tart enough for you, Mr. Bond?
* AmazonBrigade: Pussy Galore's Flying Circus.
* AntagonistTitle
* BadassInANiceSuit: ''Oddjob''.
* BattleButler: Oddjob
* TheBigBoard: The Fort Knox model Goldfinger shows off to the mobsters.
* BigRedButton: The famous button under the stick shift in James Bond's car that activates the ejector seat.
* BizarreAndImprobableGolfGame: "If that's his ball I'm Arnold Palmer."
* BlingBlingBang: Goldfinger's gold plated revolver, which he uses at Fort Knox and later in his own airplane.
* BoardToDeath: Goldfinger and the mobsters who supplied his equipment needs.
* BodyPaint: Jill Masterson
* BondOneLiner: "Shocking"; "As you said, he had a pressing engagement."; "Where is Goldfinger?" "Playing his golden harp"; "Where's your butler friend [Oddjob]?" "He blew a fuse."
* BondVillainStupidity: More or less averted. While Goldfinger does keep Bond alive, it's because he prefers keeping Bond under his thumb rather than MI-6 just sending another agent in Bond's place and wants to trick the good guys into thinking Bond is doing better than he actually is (in reality, had Bond not turned Pussy in the eleventh hour, Goldfinger almost certainly would have won). Goldfinger is also incredibly GenreSavvy for a Bond villain, opting not to underestimate Bond's craftiness.
* BulletproofVest: An Q-Branch agent gives one a test of fire.
* CeilingCling: Bond, to make a guard think he's escaped and ambush him.
* ContinuousDecompression: After the window of Goldfinger's jet is shattered by a bullet.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Inversion when the laser beam moves toward Bond instead of the other way around.
* CoolCar: Bond's Aston Martin [=DB5=], with all of its cool gadgets.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Goldfinger.
* CureYourGays: In the book (and possibly the movie as well, it's never touched upon), Pussy is a LipstickLesbian until Bond's magic penis makes her reconsider.
** Honor Blackman discussed this aspect in a 2006 AMC television special, "Bond Girls Are Forever". She thinks that Pussy only believed she was a lesbian because Goldfinger abused her pretty badly, and Bond's charm got her in touch with her actual heterosexuality.
* CutTheJuice: The frequently-parodied scene where Bond is about to deal with his WireDilemma, whereupon a disposal technician steps over, calmly reaches under a panel on the bomb, and ''switches it off''.
* DeadlyGas: The Delta 9 nerve gas used to kill the gangsters and intended to kill the Fort Knox guards.
* DeadManSwitch: Bond tells Goldfinger that his death will cause another agent (008) to replace him.
* DeathBySex: Jill Masterson, murdered by Oddjob on Goldfinger's orders after having sex with Bond. In the book, [[spoiler: her sister Tilly]] dies because she had [[spoiler: become sexually obsessed with Pussy Galore]].
* DirtyCommunists: In the novel, Goldfinger is revealed to be working for SMERSH (a Soviet counterintelligence organization).
** In the movie, Goldfinger obtains his dirty-bomb material from RedChina, which views his scheme as an opportunity to create "economic chaos in the West".
* DisneyVillainDeath: Kisch, thrown over a railing to his death by Oddjob.
** [[spoiler: Goldfinger himself]] gets sucked out of a plane before "[[BondOneLiner playing his golden harp.]]"
* DistressedDude: The scene where Bond is strapped down to a table with a laser beam slowly approaching his groin.
* DoubleEntendre: [[IncrediblyLamePun "Shocking, positively shocking."]]
** Also, [[PunnyName Pussy Galore.]]
* TheDragon: Oddjob
* DressingAsTheEnemy: After the army arrives, Goldfinger dresses himself as a U.S. soldier to escape.
* DropDeadGorgeous: Jill Masterson lying dead on the bed, painted gold. This is perhaps one of the franchise's most famous images.
* EjectorSeat
* ElectrifiedBathtub: Which even burned the actor, see below.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: After a car drives over a cliff, it explodes in midair.
** At the end, a plane immediately explodes upon contact with the ocean.
* EvilGenius: Mr. Ling, the Chinese nuclear expert.
* FakeoutEscape: Bond tricks the guard into thinking he's escaped, [[CeilingCling clings onto the ceiling]], and then drops down behind him once the guard opens the door.
* FiveBadBand
** TheBigBad: Goldfinger, natch.
** TheDragon & TheBrute: Oddjob
** TheEvilGenius: Mr. Ling
** TheDarkChick: Pussy Galore
** MookLieutenant: Mr. Kisch
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Oddjob's statue-breaking and later [[NeckSnap neck breaking]].
* FrickinLaserBeams: Torture device and door opener in one.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The producers considered renaming Pussy "Kitty Galore", but decided the name wasn't much harmful. And then they took the censor out for dinner... ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldfinger_(film)#Cast no, really]])
** It's rumored that Bond's response to her introduction was going to be "I know, but what's your name?"
* GoKartingWithBowser: Bond plays a round of golf with Goldfinger (who naturally, cheats). Bond doesn't exactly play fair, either.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny
* GroinAttack: Just barely averted. How do you get Bond to stop cracking wise? Slowly inch a laser closer and closer to his manly parts.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: both played straight and subverted.
* HeelFaceTurn: Pussy Galore
** Don't forget Jill Masterson early on.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Bond's fellow 00 agent 008.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Pussy Galore, after being [[strike: raped]] seduced by Bond.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Oddjob is electrocuted while holding his steel-bladed hat.
* HollywoodDensity: Bond uses two gold bars to break open the bomb and throws a gold bar at Oddjob.
** Bond does seem to have some trouble lifting them.
** And the scene in which Bond explains why stealing the gold would be impractical (following which Goldfinger explains his ''real'' plan) is probably the most famous aversion in cinema.
*** And also a nod to the book's plot, where it was really Goldfinger's plan. [[AdaptationDistillation The screenwriters consciously changed it.]]
** You might notice the cube resulted from the crushed Continental lacks wheels, and for something that'd be at least 2 tons (specially for the gold in the trunk), it barely makes a difference for the pick-up truck that receives it.[[hottip:*:The film crew actually had to cut the cube in half so the truck could support the weight.]]
* ImplacableMan: Oddjob takes a thrown gold bar in the chest without flinching. In fact, the only time he appears to be even mildly uneasy in the film is when Bond attempts to use his own killer hat against him.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Oddjob's razor-rimmed hat.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Oddjob and his razor-rimmed hat.
* IncrediblyLongNote: He loves '''GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLD!!!'''
* InstantSedation: Kisch uses a tranquilizer dart gun on a helpless Bond.
* IntimidationDemonstration: Oddjob demonstrates his ability with his killer bowler hat early in the film, {{Foreshadowing}} the fight with Bond at the end.
* ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt: Bond and his ForcefulKiss of Pussy Galore is a mild example.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: {{Subverted}} and {{inverted}} -- Goldfinger brags about his plan to his business partners, knowing that he's going to [[spoiler:kill them all]] anyway and that it won't make the slightest bit of difference if he tells them. What Goldfinger doesn't realise is that Bond is listening in on his little presentation; however, Bond misinterprets Goldfinger's plan and thinks that [[spoiler:he intends to steal all of Fort Knox's gold, when in actual fact he intends to make it radioactive]].
* KickTheDog: In the novel, Goldfinger gives his cat to Oddjob for dinner after it 'accidentally' foils his plot to spy on Bond.
* LargeHam: Gert Frobe set the standard for cartoonish supervillainy.
* LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: Bond is able to fool then KO a guard.
* LoopingLines: All of Goldfinger's lines are dubbed, as Gert Frobe spoke very poor English. It's really an amazing job, and you'd never know just watching the film.
* MagicCountdown: The nuclear TimeBomb in Fort Knox.
* MayDecemberRomance: Averted. Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore) is the oldest Bond girl.
* MeaningfulName: Goldfinger's first name, Auric, is the Latin word for "gold".
* MoneyFetish: "This is ''gold'', Mr. Bond. all my life I've been in love with its colour, its brilliance, its divine heaviness..."
* MookLieutenant: Kisch. He isn't exactly TheDragon, but he's close.
* MurphysBullet: When Tilly tries to kill Goldfinger.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: Bond talking to Q about his car's ejector seat.
* TheNapoleon: In Fleming's novel, Goldfinger is both this and an EvilRedhead.
* TheNastyParty: Goldfinger explaining his scheme to the gangsters and then killing them.
* NaziGold: Bond uses it as bait during the golf game.
* NeckSnap: How Oddjob kills Tilly Masterson.
* NeverMessWithGranny: The old lady working as a guard decides to get an MP 40 to shoot the Aston Martin (AlfredHitchcock told Guy Hamilton it was his favorite scene).
* NiceHat: Nice ''Killer'' Hat. Just mind any wiring about.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Pussy Galore tells Bond he's Goldfinger's guest. Later, Goldfinger serves Bond a mint julep, explains his plan and has Pussy give him a tour. Trope namer, [[JustForPun more or less]].
* OhCrap: "Who said anything about ''removing'' it, Mr. Bond?" Also counts as a WhamLine.
* OilSlick: One fo the gadgets in Bond's car.
* OneSceneWonder: Jill Masterson has 5 minutes of screentime, but due to an iconic death, is one of the most well-remembered elements of the series.
** The old lady who pulls out and MP 40 and shoots at Bond's Aston Martin when he escapes from Goldfinger's henchmen.
* OperationBlank: "Operation Grand Slam" is the name of Goldfinger's EvilPlan for Fort Knox, in both novel and film.
* PinballProtagonist: Aside from [[RapeIsLove "convincing"]] Pussy to switch the gas canisters (and killing Oddjob), Bond actually has very little impact on the plot.
* PoolScene: Where Bond caught Goldfinger cheating at cards.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Over the original book.
* ProductPlacement: By Aston Martin and Ford (who provided Tilly's Mustang and the Lincoln Continental which gets crushed). Averted when Guy Hamilton thought using the scene Bond's in the bathroom (and uses all he can to hide the "magic eyes") to showcase Gilette products was silly.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: Bond, while fighting Oddjob in the Fort Knox vault.
* PunnyName: Pussy Galore. In the film this was supposed to be lampshaded, with Bond's response to her telling him her name being "I'm sure you are, but what's your name?" but this was considered likely to annoy the censors. Bond's incredulous "I must be dreaming" is lampshading enough.
** There's also Goldfinger's first name; Auric.
* RapeAsBackstory: In the novel, Pussy Galore hints that's why she's not into men.
* RapeAsComedy: Bond's martial arts sparring and wrestling with Pussy Galore before forcing himself upon her. It's thankfully subverted since she returns his kiss while they're still fully clothed, but it's still uncomfortable to watch.
* RapeIsLove: Bond and Jill Masterton, in the original book. In the film, Bond forcibly kisses her, and she becomes immediately willing.
* ReflectiveEyes: Bond dodges an attack when he sees his attacker reflected in a woman's eyes.
* SameLanguageDub: Gert Frobe did not speak English, so he spoke phonetically and was dubbed over.
* SacrificialLamb: Jill Masterson [[spoiler: and her sister Tilly]].
* SceneryPorn: The drive through France and Switzerland. The book includes large sections describing the scenery.
* ScienceMarchesOn: Jill's death by "skin suffocation" was based on an erroneous [[http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/goldfinger.asp belief of the time]]. Basically, she wouldn't have suffocated as long as she could still breathe from her mouth or nose, as obvious as that sounds. ''MythBusters'' also got in on the debunking.
** And even ''MythBusters'' got it wrong the first time, affirming the myth. Only after doctors contacted them did they do it again and get it right.
* SexFaceTurn: Pussy Galore, with JamesBond. In the book, Pussy was only faking at being a lesbian due to a history of sexual assault and a belief that there were no good men left in the world.
* SlipperySkid: Caused by the CoolCar's oil slick device.
* TheSpeechless: Oddjob.
* SpikedWheels: ''Originally'' used on the Aston Martin.
* SpyTuxReveal: The TropeCodifier.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Bond during the laser interrogation scene.
* SuddenlySexuality: Pussy Galore goes straight for Bond.
* TakeThat: Bond finds time to slam TheBeatles.
-->'''James Bond''': My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!
** Nine years later, Paul [=McCartney=] did the theme for ''{{Live and Let Die}}''
* TapOnTheHead
* TechMarchesOn: Averted so far considering how the gadgets in this film have aged surprisingly well and still look believable and practical. For instance, the personal tracer looks about the right size that such a device might look right if made today and its hiding place in the heel of Bond's shoe still looks neat.
* ThoseWackyNazis
* ThrownFromTheZeppelin: Goldfinger's crushing response to a gangster's refusal to join him.
* TimeBomb: The nuclear bomb in Fort Knox.
* TrackingDevice
* TranquillizerDart: While Bond is helplessly strapped to a table, Kisch renders him unconscious with a tranquilizer dart pistol.
* TreasureRoom: The Fort Knox room full of gold bars.
* TropeCodifier: Pick a TuxedoAndMartini SpyFiction cliche -- chances are good that it was popularized by this movie.
** This movie, more than ''FromRussiaWithLove'' and certainly more than ''DrNo'', defined the aspects of a Bond movie especially with promoting Q and his arsenal of gadgets.
* {{Tuckerization}}: IanFleming named Goldfinger after his neighbour.
* TuxedoAndMartini: The TropeCodifier.
* UnflinchingWalk: Bond's reaction to the explosion at the start of the movie.
* TheVillainSucksSong: ShirleyBassey would like to remind you that Goldfinger does, in fact, love gold. A lot.
* TheVoiceless: Oddjob.
* WackyWaysideTribe: Bond's infiltration and blowing up of a stash of "heroin-flavored bananas" at the start of the movie.
* WatchThePaintJob: Bond's Aston Martin [=DB5=] is ruined when Bond runs it into a brick wall.
** Also, the Lincoln Continental put in a car crusher (the crew said everyone on set [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone was silent at seeing such a brand new car getting destroyed]], and during a screening of the dailies, the projectionist entered the room angry asking if they really did it).
* WeHaveWaysOfMakingYouTalk: Subverted. Goldfinger doesn't expect Bond to talk. He expects him to ''die''.
* WeaponizedCar: The Aston Martin [=DB5=], which was also Bond's first WeaponizedCar. Its arsenal included [[MoreDakka Machine Guns]], tyre-slashers, oil-slicks, a smokescreen, bullet-proof shield and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rotating license plates]].
** What about the ejector seat?
* WireDilemma: Subverted while Bond is trying to deactivate the nuclear bomb.
