Goldfinger Violence Quotes

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

Quote #4

BOND: If you fire at this close range, the bullet will pass through me and the fuselage, like a blowtorch through butter. The cabin will depressurize and we'll both be sucked into outer space together.

Bond says this to Pussy, but perhaps Goldfinger should have listened to the lecture. Here, Bond foreshadows the absurdly comical—but pretty frightening if you're in Goldfinger's golden shoes—way that Goldfinger will die at the end of the movie.

Quote #5

BOND: You'll kill 60,000 people uselessly.

GOLDFINGER: Ha! American motorists kill that many every two years.

Goldfinger looks pretty callous making a joke about the deaths of American soldiers—and he is—but Bond also makes jokes about individuals' deaths, joking about the villain at the beginning, Oddjob, and Goldfinger himself, just to name a few. So maybe he's in no place to judge Mr. 'Finger for his tasteless humor?
