Unleashing the Invention Power: Astonishing Aston Martin D85 in Motion

Sequel: in the Goldfinger's script, the car was armed only with a smoke screen, but every crew member began suggesting the other inventive gadgets to install in it, including bullet shield. Director Hamilton conceived the revolving license plate because he had been getting many parking tickets, while his stepson suggested the ejector seat. A gadget near the lights that would drop sharp nails was replaced with an oil dispenser because the producers thought the original could be easily copied by viewers.

Goldfinger's $3 million budget was recouped in just two weeks, and it broke box office records around the world. The film closed its original box office run with $23 million in the United States and $46 million worldwide.

Goldfinger was temporarily banned because of Gert Fröbe's (German actor as Goldfinger) connections with the Nazi Party. The ban, however, was lifted after several months when a Jewish family publicly thanked Fröbe for protecting them from persecution during World War II.
