Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine / Dr. Goldfoot & the Girl Bombs

In "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" (1965), Dr. Goldfoot (Vincent Price) has invented an army of bikini-clad female robots, and programmed them to seek out rich men, and seduce them into signing over their all of their money. Todd Armstrong (Dwayne Hickman) is the wealthy target of fem-bot Diane (Susan Hart). Planning to foil Dr. Goldfoot's evil plan is secret agent Craig Gamble (Frankie Avalon). The movie is a cross between "Goldfinger" and "Beach Blanket Bingo." The beach movie actors and actresses making cameos in this movie include Annette Funicello, Aron Kincaid, Deborah Walley, and Harvey Lembeck (a/k/a Eric Von Zipper). This fast-paced film is a lot of fun, and Vincent Price looks like he's having a blast spoofing his horror movie persona, especially in the torture chamber scene where he spoofs his character in "The Pit and the Pendulum." The beautiful women wearing gold bikinis make for great eye candy! The movie was directed by Norman Taurog, who directed the movies "The Stooge" (with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis), "Visit To A Small Planet" (with Jerry Lewis), and "Blue Hawaii" (with Elvis Presley). I give "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" five stars.Vincent Price reprised his role in "Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs" (1966). Because the first Dr. Goldfoot film was such a big hit in Italy, this sequel was filmed in Italy. Dr. Goldfoot plans to take over the world by making his fem-bots bombs, designed to blow up high-ranking generals of NATO countries, by kissing them. What a way to go! Planning to foil Dr. Goldfoot's evil plan is disgraced secret agent Bill Dexter (Fabian). Providing comic relief are two Italian comedic movie stars, Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia. To me, they were about as funny as a heat rash. The movie was directed by Mario Bava, who is best known for directing horror movies, such as "Black Sabbath," "Blood and Black Lace," and "Planet of the Vampires." Mario is clearly out of his element, directing this spy spoof. Because of Vincent Price, and the beautiful, bikini-clad women, I give "Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs" three stars. In addition, there are no theatrical trailers or bonus features of any kind. Eight stars, divided by two movies, gives this double feature a total of four stars.

This is a good combo to get. I found "Bikini Machine" to be the better of the two In my opinion it has a better plot and writing. It has the very beautiful dark haired Susan Hart who gives an excellent performance; I think she's the star of the movie as much as Vincent Price. The rating for the double DVD is predominantly for it. The 2nd movie "Girl Bombs" had a good idea plot wise, but I think it was too disorganised. It has another lovely woman actress (her name escapes me but she's Italian) who does a great job; given the lines that she has. The inclusion of an Italian comedy duo kind mucks things up/contributes to the "lost the plot" feel. Having said that, if you wanted to see both movies and you don't want to buy them as separate DVD's; this double movie DVD is very good value for money. The DVD quality was good, but it's just the movies in real time; there are no Scene Selections or extra features. Even if you only wanted "Bikini Machine", you could still get this.

Vincent Price stars in this campy funny science fiction movie. Just love the character he portrays as a Mad scientist who creates his girl bikini robots. His plan is to rob all the riches from the wealthy with his bikini robots. Then two bumbling heroes try to stop goldfoot.The Second movie he comes back with his robots but as girl bombs. He gets involved with the Chinese government to use exploding female robots to disrupt a scheduled NATO war-game by blowing up the various generals involved in the exercise. Goldfoot attempting to start World War 3 between Russia and the United States by dropping a nuclear bomb on Moscow. But then there is a girl chasing agent that plans to stop himLove this movie and that fact that it is two movies, I have been looking for this two movies and found it in one dvd. Or course what can I say I love Vincent Price. :-)

Both of these films were quickly written and produced. They are not meant to be serious and are supposed to be comic. Of course there are good bad movies and there are bad bad movies. This is the latter. Some of the girls look good, but everything else is low quality. Two agents who are supposed to be comedy relief are too ridiculous to be liked. I was impressed with Laura Antonelli as Rosanna. I consider both of these films as a waste of time and money.

These two movies are the apex of American International's gloriously idiotic series of widescreen, technicolor teen comedies of the Sixties that began with the Beach Party movies earlier in the decade. Maybe not the apex of quality, but certainly an apex of throwaway idiocy! These are lots of fun.I'm very happy to see that MGM saw fit to throw this double bill away on a TGG bargain bin release instead of going the much, MUCH more expensive Made-to-Order "Archives" route that is currently the only way to see many of their newly released reissues of cult classic films. I suspect that this double bill had been prepared for MGM's Midnight Movies Double Feature series, but was shelved when MGM fell apart a couple of years ago.Two gloriously colorful and idiotic Vincent Price COMEDIES for under ten bucks?

Ok I brought these mainly because I like spoofs and had never heard of these movies before. To say these were bad is an understatement. WOW what was Vincent Price thinking being in these flicks. Campy, bad acting, horrible story line. Incredibly bad in all aspects.

all ok thanks.

These movies are ok for the time they where made. I watched these movies when I was young and now that I own them its great to watch them again. these movies are from the sixties I believe.

love Vincent Price
