The commentary track on Criterion's 1991 laserdisc for Goldfinger so angered producer Albert Broccoli that he had it recalled from sale and reissued, without the offending track. The same went for the commentaries on Dr. No and From Russia With Love that were released both a few months before Goldfinger.

• Editor Peter Hunt makes mention near the end what Sean Connery can walk into "virtually any room" and do to "anybody". Guess. Just guess.

• This commentary also features a lesbian slur.

• The 007 Dossier first liberated these tracks from out-of-print obscurity back in 2011.

• The HMSS Weblog goes into great detail and context, though it spoils some of the best bits in all three tracks, like the word that is broadly considered a slur director Guy Hamilton used to describe Pussy Galore.
