I was watching Goldfinger on Blu Ray last night and happened to notice just before Mr Solo meets his demise, as the car turns the corner (around the 117:15 mark); there is a blink and you’ll miss it skip in the picture.
I noticed something similar when watching the Dr No Blu Ray, when Bond is visiting Strangways house after the murder.
What’s the reason for this? Damage on the original film negative; or is it that HD picks up these imperfections due to the clarity?
Welcome to the forums, @jl151080!
As for your question, I suspect this could perhaps really be due to the HD formation - but that in turn would have been likely caused by either damage to the master source or a tiny fault while the reading was done.
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE’s last few frames have featured a slight break for as long as I can remember; I suppose that was due to a failure in the copy process.

A rumor for now.
Apparently, this guy is right more often than not. James Bond information 2:17-4:04. I have yet to upgrade to a 4K Blu-ray player yet. No matter how many times home media is upgraded (I’m pretty sure it will always have some sort of presence), James Bond will always be upgraded for me. I look forward to Austin Powers getting re-released, hopefully the sequels will come with it.
It is very telling that there has not been a complete Bond 4K set yet, only Craig‘s era.

(Not sure if it will work for non-UK buyers)
Yes, very disappointing 
Maybe not for women who are into Sean Connery?
It is the most egregious of the six covers.
The other five seem to have some relation to a specific scene in their film. This one says: “Sean Connery relaxing between shots.”
Saw that Amazon.com has shipped the 4K box and if everything goes well I will receive it next monday!! Can’t wait!
I just went to pick up the box at a pick-up point.
Always so handy, you make an appointment with DHL for between one and five in the afternoon, you come home at a quarter to one, they have already been by at a quarter to twelve and there is a note in the mailbox: “We missed you!” Yeah, right! 
Watched Goldfinger this late afternoon, looked good, but if I’m honest I didn’t see realy huge difference with the blu rays. I got the feeling that the sound had improved.
By the way if you look at the picture at Amazon.co.uk than it looks like you get also the blu rays, that’s not the case with my American boxset, I got only the 4K’s.
Good to know. With what they’re charging for it, it absolutely should come with both 4K and Blu-ray, just like pretty much every standard 4K release for any other movie does.
On the other hand, I don’t need blu rays if I buy 4K’s, like I also didn’t ask for dvd’s when I bought blu rays in the past, you never gonna watch them because well… you have the 4K’s, oh and the well known extra’s are also on the 4K discs.
Question for those knowledgeable: can a 4K version of a film made in the 1960s make that much of a difference, or does it edge toward changing/altering the original imagery/mise en scene?
I don’t know anything about it either, but I can only tell you what I experience. The 4K’s of movies like Spartacus and Lawrence of Arabia are the best versions I ever saw.
But the blu rays of the Bondmovies were ofcourse already 4K prints and looked absolutely great!
I haven’t seen a lot of older films in the 4K format, but I will say that watching both of the Ghotbusters films on the format was almost like watching the films again for the first time, which is saying something considering the number of times I’ve watched those two films over the years.
