How can you help but notice that, in the countdown to Operation Rock-a-bye-baby, every one of Pussy Galore’s flying circus has another plane visible out the cockpit window on her starboard side? Only two of them - the two following the leader on the port side - would have that.

Something for a lazy Saturday afternoon:
Maybe no one will notice, because she’s only an extra and you never see her face - despite the fact that she’s standing behind Lazenby in the OHMSS gambling scene - except for this one little moment, and that’s parts of only the lower half. On all other occasions, you only see her yellow dress.
It is the 1967 Miss Guyana, Shakira Baksh, here’s a BTS picture of that scene in which her face is visible:
And this on’s even signed by her, but with the name she adopted when she got married in 1973, Shakira Caine:
Shakira Caine? Yes indeed, Michael Caine’s wife was an extra in OHMSS.
Just when you thought you know everything about this movie…

Fantastic find!
Maybe no one will notice that Oddjob was able to paint Jill gold all over without leaving a drop of paint anywhere else in the room. That’s one meticulous manservant. (Oh, and that he killed Jill but left Bond alive. You know, someone who could trace the murder back to Goldfinger. Meticulous but dim, I suppose.)

He only had enough paint for one murder?
Or:
You should see the blankets on which he painted her and which he removed because Goldfinger wanted every drop to be put back into his vault.
Or:
Oddjob had enough paint for two but splashed too much on the blanket because he wanted to keep that for his retirement fund.
Or:
Goldfinger told him to do something creative with her - and had to learn the hard way that Oddjob was a closet painter.

I feel a thread coming on…
Name the hobbies of all the henchmen!
If they had not been henchmen what kind of villain would they have been?

Picture Oddjob trying to explain at length to nameless goons about putting covers over the furniture before you begin painting.
On not killing Bond “Mr. Goldfinger insisted! I know, I know, it doesn’t make any sense to me either but you know what he gets like”

I wish he’d come and paint mine. 
Reminds me of Bond’s perfect clown make-up in Octopussy. It would make for a fun deleted scene of Bond muttering to himself about the nuclear bomb about to go off, while doing the finishing touches to that tear down the cheek.

Maybe no one will notice:
That not only is John Terry the most forgettable Felix in the series, but also the most ineffectual.
After giving Bond the all-clear to penetrate Whittaker’s compound he…what? Goes to bed? It might have been useful for Bond to know that Pushkin and his Spetsnaz team were making like the cavalry and bringing up the rear. Unless, of course, Felix didn’t notice a man as large as Pushkin, in a light blue suit , tiptoeing through the tulips with a group of armed commandos?
Better left forgotten.

He was tending the moustache. That thing looked like a full time job.
He took advice from FRWL Connery Bond who said it “should be routine from here on in.”
Haha, there are a few moments like that. Eg. the marines at the end of Goldeneye, just lying hidden in the grass, while Bond nearly died trying to save the world.

Bond was only saving London, in Cuba - not their international incident unless/until activated by Wade.
