GOLDFINGER: Smuggling is an art, Mr. Ling. And art requires…In this case, the bodywork of my Rolls Royce is 18-carat gold. We dismantle it here. Reduce the gold in this special furnace to ingots, which in turn will be released on the board and weigh approximately two tons. I make six trips a year to Europe in the Rolls Royce, Mr. Ling.

Goldfinger has an ingenious method of gold smuggling: he has a car made of gold that he melts down once it crosses international borders. On the other hand, it's probably bad for gas mileage.

GOLDFINGER: You are looking at an industrial laser, which emits an extraordinary light, not to be found in nature. It can project a spot on the moon. Or at closer range, cut through solid metal. I will show you.

If you ever need to put a dot on the moon, Goldfinger is your guy. Even the coolest technology can have some useless applications, like this app that makes your smartphone look like an electric shaver.
