GOLDFINGER (DVD Review) - 23/7/06

Notoriously spoofed as "Goldmember" in the Austin Powers Universe the Bond train continued to push barriers with it's third film in the series with Goldfinger. Shirley Bassey's memorable rendition of the theme song really makes it stand out and the villain's henchman (this time Oddjob) adds another facet to the Bond elements. We get Q introducing the Aston Martin converted to deadly use with it's array of weapons and a bevy of girls in particular a certain gold-all-over beauty. Again picture and sound degradation is completely wiped away with the revamp of Sound & Image once again on this Ultimate Edition Set.
