Facts and Bloopers:
When Bond glances in his car mirror, he notes the initials "T.M." on Tilley's riflecase. However, the initials are not reversed as they would be if he were viewing them in a mirror.
During the Ft. Knox assault, Goldfinger's henchman Kisch is disguised as a U.S. Army Officer. Yet, the stripes on his uniform are from the Air Force.
Bond's introductionto Pussy Galore in Goldfinger went something like this: Pussy: "I'm Pussy Galore." Bond: "I know, but what's your name?" The sequence was amended to Bond's responding "I must be dreaming!" It had been difficult enough to gain approval for use of Galore's first name.
