As much as I love, the movie itself, how about the entire premise of the ending of Goldfinger? They don't mention that a nuclear weapon wouldn't just irradiate all that gold, it'd vaporize it. Also, the fallout from a ground burst would kill millions and would almost certainly collapse the global economy and defeat the entire idea of Goldfinger's gold being worth more than it already was before.
Have you ever been to that part of the world before? That's not as far off as you'd think.

It's a dirty bomb. Not meant to vaporise, just irradiate. There would be a relatively small explosion followed by a huge radioactive cloud.
Also, when the Global economy collapses just about the only thing that DOES go up in value is gold.
'I apologize, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal!'
lol:lol
In Goldfinger Auric offers the hoods one million in gold now, or ten million later.
Ummm, if he irradiates Fort Knox's gold and ruins it for the next 58 years, doesn't gold 's value go up regardless of whether or not you are in on Goldfinger's plan?
Of course, walking out on the plan results in death and NO gold......

And to be completely fair agreeing with the plan and staying results in death and no gold as well. :lol
Speaking of which, why did he go to the trouble of such an elaborate demonstration when he already had them all in the room and could have just gassed them???
Well, how else is James going to find out what the heck operation grand slam is?
The script dictates it! :thumbsup
and was it even a demonstration? There's no indication the co-conspirators even knew he was killed, never mind how.
There was no need to put real gold in the car just to have to smelt it out later, there was no need to crush the car if they were taking it back to the ranch...
...and I guess they have a palamino standing by at the junk yard for whenever Odd Job might be coming by with a car/dead body combo?

Is that from the BluRay? Damn, that looks artificial and cartoony - was the original movie like that?

You might be right-- I never really noticed Connery's toupee clearly before
I always cringe in IJ Last Crusade when Indy pretends to be Scottish to get into the Nazi castle. I think it's horribly stupid, not something the character Indy would have actually done, and there were a million other ways to enter than the front door.
Yes, the original film was like that. The reason it looks artificial is because of how harshly Connery is lit compared to his background.
As for the toupee you notice it more because:
A - You've only ever seen it in SD before
B - It's a still frame
I'm watching Superman and trying to figure out when Superman jumps out the window as Clark Kent to meet Lex his regular clothes simply fade into his super clothes.
Who thought that was a good idea?

Much the same thought about Daredevil, when at the beginning he is doing his jumpy, slider routine, he jumps off the side of a building, falls some 20 stories face first, before landing on a window cleaners platform! He might be the man with no fear, but is he also the man who doesn't know that a fall like that would kill him!
I just re-watched Star Trek Nemesis this weekend. I remembered not liking it when it came out, but hoped it would have improved with age (it didn't). Aside from a ton of minor and major quibbles I have with the entire movie, the true "what were they thinking moment" comes during the film's climax. Picard impales Shinzon with a piece of the scenery then, instead of using his sharp mind, vast tactical experience, and intensive military training to determine how he's going to abort the sequence that's about to destroy the Enterprise he stands immobilized and stares at Shinzon. Really? In seven years of the show and countless movies he's never been proven to be so easily incapacitated...
Or in PJ's King Kong the T-Rex fight... UGH!
First, the T-Rex completely ignores the much larger meal he's just caught to go after a scrap. Then he doesn't give up on the scrap and go back to his big meal when challenged. THEN THEY FIGHT WHILE SWINGING THROUGH ****ING VINES.
After that scene I was done. Apparently human is a delicacy worth dying for...
