Editorial Reviews

DR GOLDFOOT AND THE BIKINI MACHINE was AIP's attempt to carry on the famous "Beach Party" series in a new direction. Sadly, the films were not as successful and were canned.\nIn this rather obvious dig at "Goldfinger", DR GOLDFOOT AND THE BIKINI MACHINE tells the story of the sneaky Dr Goldfoot (Vincent Price in a sly comedic performance), a mad scientist who creates sexy girl robots to seduce and marry rich men before robbing them blind and taking off with all their fortune!\nHowever, when it comes to the young Secret Service agent Craig Gamble (Frankie Avalon), Dr Goldfoot has met his match!\nWhen the beautiful robot Diane (the striking Susan Hart) seduces a young billionaire (Dwayne Hickman), he enlists the help of Craig to help uncover what he is sure is a dreadful plan to rob him of his money.\nClever comedy that dissolves into the predictable with a formulaic slapstick car chase finale and features some macabre cameos from Annette Funicello and Harvey Lembeck as well as BEACH BLANKET BINGO co-star, the late Deborah Walley.\nThe Supremes sing the catchy title song.\nThe DVD includes the trailer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look out Mike Myers...Dr. Goldfoot might get you January 14, 2004

By Deborah MacGillivray HALL OF FAMEVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

The successful spoofs Mike Meyers has been doing, most recently "Goldmember" owes it's mad capped nonsense to those who have boldly gone before him...namely Vincent Prince! In his run of movies for AIP and Roger Corman, he also did a couple of gems - the other "Comedy of Terrors" *****, and they make a great popcorn double-feature for a Saturday Night. Both movies showcase the rarely seen fun-side of the very talented Vincent Price.

In Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine - total mindless fun - Dr. Goldfoot (Price - a sly, wicked performance having a hoot of a time) has made a machine to manufacture a bikini clad army of robots who are programmed to seek out wealthy men, marry them and charm them into signing over their assets, before bumping them off. With passing pokes at Princes own AIP films and the Bond films, it is good giggles. Not as sharp as "Comedy of Terrors", it's still great for Prince Fans, people who enjoyed Myers spy spoofs, or those looking for a time-capsule blast from the past, this is an enjoyable diversion!

With Frankie Avalon, Craig Steven, Dwayne Hickman, Deborah Wally turning in good support performances, the Supremes giving a catching theme song, and claymation credits it's perfect popcorn fun. Give a skip on the sequel - Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs - not as stylishly done.

4.0 out of 5 stars cute comedy-spoof! September 27, 2002

By Byron Kolln HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

DR GOLDFOOT AND THE BIKINI MACHINE was AIP's attempt to carry on the famous "Beach Party" series in a new direction. Sadly, the films were not as successful and were canned.

In this rather obvious dig at "Goldfinger", DR GOLDFOOT AND THE BIKINI MACHINE tells the story of the sneaky Dr Goldfoot (Vincent Price in a sly comedic performance), a mad scientist who creates sexy girl robots to seduce and marry rich men before robbing them blind and taking off with all their fortune!

However, when it comes to the young Secret Service agent Craig Gamble (Frankie Avalon), Dr Goldfoot has met his match!

When the beautiful robot Diane (the striking Susan Hart) seduces a young billionaire (Dwayne Hickman), he enlists the help of Craig to help uncover what he is sure is a dreadful plan to rob him of his money.

Clever comedy that dissolves into the predictable with a formulaic slapstick car chase finale and features some macabre cameos from Annette Funicello and Harvey Lembeck as well as BEACH BLANKET BINGO co-star, the late Deborah Walley.

The Supremes sing the catchy title song.

The DVD includes the trailer. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch Out Dr. Goldfoot And His Bikini Machines Is On DVD August 8, 2005

By Chris

Format:DVD

Vincent Price, dumped his usual horror roles with American International to star in this 60's Teen Comedy, that also spawned a sequel Dr. Goldfoot And His Girl Bombs which has sadly never seen a release on commercial home video.

Beware - this band of bikini-clad cuties is licensed to kill... with comedy! Featuring Vincent Price and Frankie Avalon, with cameo apperances by Annette Funicello as a decapitated young lady, and Harvey Lembeck chained to his motorcycle. This sex-ational spy spoff is full of thrill-packed fun and gags. Deraged Dr. Goldfoot (Price) has a dream of taking over the universe! So the mad scientest invents a machine that builds sultry, bikni-clad, sexy chicks. Whom he programs to seduce the world's wealthiest men into signing over their fortunes, than permanently scratching them. But when Secret Agent (Avalon) learns of GOldfoot's evil plot, he knows he must destory these gorgeous gold diggers before losing his heart and possible his own live, to the hottest assassins ever built in the history of the 60's Beach Flicks. This is a great classic beach movie that also stars Dwayne Hickman, Susan Hart, Jack Mullaney, and Fred Clark. So if you want to relive the 60's Teen Flicks, watch Dr. Goldfoot And The Bikini Machine tonight, for a bundle of fun, laughs, and bikini-clad girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAN-F*******-Tastic November 7, 2006

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is dynamite. Prices performance is hilarious. The mix of zany yet well done stupidity + classic cheesiness is divine. I wish I had 12 of these. The disc will soon die from laser wear (I know I know not real but still) from the number of times it goes in the player. Sadly many will never know the joys of this movie...

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable December 4, 2002

By Mark McKinney

Format:DVD

I recently purchased this film on dvd because my old copy that was taped off AMC finally gave out. This is a spoof on the spy craze of the time and it serves that purpose. Whenever I see this film, I think of another film that starred Vincent Price and Susan Hart and that is War gods of the deep. Both of these films were made around the same time, but Price and Hart both seemed tired in that film. Everyone in this film really seems like they had fun doing this picture. Vincent Price is really sharp delivering dialogue that would fall flat coming from someone else's mouth. The print is sharp and colorful and the original trailer is included.

3.0 out of 5 stars A silly, but fun, spy spoof September 4, 2001

By "mrtingler"

Format:DVD

Vincent Price is my favorite actor, and he is what makes this silly AIP "teen" movie worth watching. It is the story of Dr. Goldfoot (Price) and his diabolical plan to take over the world by having all of the wealthy men on the planet marry his robot bombshells. He will have the robot "bikini women" sign over all of the wealth to him, and voila...the world!

There are some great moments featuring the beach blanket stars of the day, including Frankie Avalon, and good ol Annette makes a cameo appearance. The chase scene at the end of the film is a classic!

The DVD transfer is great, and the film quality makes this nice to watch. Includes the Midnite Movies standard bonus of the theatrical trailer.

To sum it up, this is a silly, silly movie. Don't expect anything profound and I think you'll be surprised at what fun it is to watch.
