    More something I've never seen before rather than never noticed(!) but here's a BBC spy drama from 1966- it opens with a very familiar shot of a hotel on Miami beach as you'll see:



    Except it's not actually the shot from Goldfinger! It's a completely different take, for one thing look out for the white car driving in the car park in front of the hotel.

    Fascinating! Wow they are different. In the black and white version a busy street with traffic and cars. In GF not a single car on the road. Yet they both swoop by the hotel and both end with a male jumping into the pool.

    Either the Black and White version is an homage and they filmed the exact same sequence or they somehow used an alternate take from the GF film? I wonder which it is.

    I'd say it's an alternate take, sometimes shots from movies would end up as stock footage for other productions. The shot of the exploding helicopter from FRWL made it into two different Dr Who stories in the 60s and 70s.
