Goldfinger Violence Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Goldfinger.

Quote #1

BOND: She died of skin suffocation. It's been known to happen to cabaret dancers. It's all right as long as you leave a small bare patch at the base of the spine to allow the skin to breathe.

This is a ridiculous—and impossible—way to die, but Bond films have never been about realism, not even in their violence. The violence sensational, and the shot of dead Jill Masterson creepily combines sex and violence into one tawdry image.

Quote #2

TILLY: I want him dead! He killed my sister!

Tilly sets off for revenge against Goldfinger after Jill dies. Do you think she plans to paint him gold, too? He's already bronze from all that self-tanner.

Quote #3

BOND: Do you expect me to talk?

GOLDFINGER: No, Mr. Bond! I expect you to die!

This is one of the classic lines from Goldfinger, and it perfectly sets the stage for the iconic and suspenseful torture scene. The threat of violence against Bond is just as exciting as the action scenes in which Bond is doling out the punishment.
