... View MoreVincent Price must have signed for two pictures otherwise I can hardly believe there was a demand for a sequel to Dr. Goldfoot In The Bikini Machine. This film was done in Italy and I can hardly believe that Vincent Price and Fabian the only two Americans in the cast weren't slightly embarrassed. I'm sure Fabian longed for the day when he was in films with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart.When last seen Dr. Goldfoot was driving off a cliff on to a beach on the Pacific coast. But somehow he survived the crash and he's now in business with whom we called the Red Chinese back in the day. He's developed a new line of beautiful female robots. These are plastic and in close embrace will explode and self destruct taking whomever they were embracing. Guess what one contacts with in order to trigger them?In any event secret agent Fabian is seeking Price and he's got a real live Laura Antonelli seeking Price as well. Add to that Italian comedians Franco Fanelli and Cicco Ingrassia as a pair of bumbling agents. They've got to stop Dr. Goldfoot from setting the USSR and the US from annihilating each other with a war Goldfoot has plans to start.As for Vincent Price I will say that this gives him an opportunity to play once again Dr. Goldfoot as a Snidely Whiplash type villain. He looks like he's having a great old time. Unfortunately he's in a film that's more stupid than funny.
... View MoreIn his second and mercifully last outing, mad scientist Vincent Price (as Dr. Goldfoot) uses his gold bikini-clad robots to seduce NATO generals into compromising positions. The diabolical Mr. Price has a dual role as one of the generals. The opening recap serves to replace "forces of good" Frankie Avalon and Dwayne Hickman with SIC agent Fabian (as Bill Dexter). Of course, the fate of the entire free world hangs in the balance. Assisting Fabian are bumbling doormen Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia. When military men get aroused by the beautiful robots, they explode. Yes, the well-proportioned beauties are da bomb; unfortunately, so is the movie. This would have been both funnier and sexier had it been filmed in the nude.** Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs (7/29/66) Mario Bava ~ Vincent Price, Fabian, Franco Franchi, Ciccio Ingrassia
... View MoreI'd heard this thing (movie is too generous a term) was watchable for the presence of Vincent Price. Sadly, it's not. The entire thing is so farcical and slapstick that even the most juvenile of viewers would find it distasteful.Perhaps in the 60's when the farce was made, it would've been enjoyable -- had there been cameos by various American actors -- but there's not a single funny line or instance in its entire running time. Not one! Avoid this one like the plague. Given so many good films from the 60's in such as a state of disrepair or anonymity, it's amazing that this utter drek was dragged out to be shown on an HD satellite channel.
... View MoreMASTER PLAN: blow up key U.S. generals with booby-trapped girl robots. The diabolical Dr. Goldfoot is back, in this sequel to "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine"(65). No lie! How they talked Vincent Price into this, I'm not sure, though he was already hamming it up in the previous movie. Here he's joined by a couple of comics who were Italy's answer to Abbott & Costello. Teen heartthrob Fabian replaces teen heartthrob Frankie Avalon as an agent of S.I.C., oh, yes! Rather than simple theft, which he indulged in previously, here Goldfoot teams with the Chinese for probable world domination (those dastardly Chinese - see also "Battle Beneath the Earth" which came out around the same time). Goldfoot explains all this by speaking directly to the audience, breaking that 4th wall. He still uses a machine which manufactures female robots, all dressed in golden bathing suits and boots, which he sends to kiss various generals; an intense enough smooch sets off an explosion. The only general left standing is Goldfoot's double. All this is kind of incidental; the main plot has the two main leads/buffoons improbably/accidentally join up with S.I.C. as agents.Goldfoot, of course, is a broad parody of the outrageous villains from the James Bond films. He has a swimming pool of killer fish, probably something like piranha, so, every now and then, a skeleton turns up, freshly cleaned. This also copies "Our Man Flint" a bit, with the latest IBM computer (Rita) sabotaged by Goldfoot when it selects the best agents for the job. The two comedians are not very subtle, with over-the-top mugging, and a lot of the action is sped up (undercranked) to give it that slapstick silent comedy feeling. Otherwise, much of the humor falls flat, though it does pick up near the end. I've written that the previous Goldfoot movie was the most ridiculous parody of the Bond craze, but this Italian take on the whole thing takes it to yet another level. The final half-hour gives a new meaning to the term 'absurdity,' involving a balloon trip by the heroes which touches off of heaven at one point and then chases down a supersonic jet plane! Laura Antonelli figures prominently in these last few scenes; she became a somewhat famous sex symbol in Italian sex farces in the seventies. My DVD version was in Italian, with optional English subtitles. Heroes:3 Villain:4 Femme Fatales:5 Henchmen:2 Fights:2 Stunts/Chases:3 Gadgets:3 Auto:2 Locations:3 Pace:3 overall:3
