I hear that the Golf Ball was real.


I understand that the actor Harold Sakata who played Oddjob was a retired Sumo Wrestler and those guys are very strong men.

In the scene that Bond taunts him over the thwarted cheating at the golf game and tosses him the golf ball Oddjob crushes it like a peanut shell.

I hear they didn't use a fake ball. Harold crushed a real one to prove his strength.

Not a chance.

notice how there is a rare human moment for bond here after the girl gets killed by oddjob, bond just walks up to her body and sits there and don't care about the men coming up surrounding him, also notice goldfinger has a golden gun, so i guess there's been two golden guns in the bond franchise, i love the completely out of place country music at one moment, another unexpected moment is the granny with the machine gun, i'm surprised no one mentions that. galore has the biggest boobies of all the bond girls i think, man is she tough, then goldfinger tells her to turn on the charm for bond and she's like a different woman, what a great bond girl, i've always had a weakness for her, to me this movie hits off when she enters. "he's quite mad you know". i think i read the golf scene in this between bond and goldfinger is where connery picked up his interest for the game of golf.
