Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Art Vandelay 1. Unforgettably hummable title song. 2. Clever clay-mation opening credits. 3. Babes in gold bikinis shaking their money-makers. 4. Susan Hart's over-bite. 5. Susan Hart's legs. 6. Price chewing the scenery. Dwayne Hickman equally up to the task. 7. ''They won't even let you carry a gun until you get a digit instead of a fraction.'' I mean, c'mon, that's comedy gold right there. 8. Frankie Avalon doing some decent physical comedy instead of just standing there grinning at Annette for the entire movie. That's worth 8 right there. This movie is a blast.

Wuchak ...is better than either of the two "Dr. Goldfoot" movies."Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" (1965) and "Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs" (1966) are spoofs of the early James Bond flicks and, to a lesser degree, the early 60's beach movies with Avalon & Funicello (mainly because Frankie stars in the first one and it shares the harmless, fun-spirited flare of the beach flicks). They're innocuous mid-60's slapstick comedies in the style of "I Dream of Jeanie", but extended to a full movie. Their main attraction can be found in their titles -- the 60's bikini-clad babes and Vincent price in the title role. Since I love both (and "I Dream of Jeanie") I figured I'd like these movies way more than I did, but I found them pretty forgettable, not to mention lame. Yes, I know, they're supposed to be lame, but there's good lame and bad lame and the two Dr. Goldfoot movies are mediocre lame, verging on bad.The first movie takes place in San Francisco and the second one in Rome. These locations are highlights in addition to those already mentioned. These movies are also enjoyable as period-pieces as it's interesting to see the mid-60's styles, etc.As far as the women go, I was a little disappointed with the first one in this respect; the second one is much better, not to mention it was directed by Mario Bava (which many insist is his worst film, lol).At the end of the day, the Dr. Goldfoot movies are throwaway flicks, but they're worth catching for the highlights noted above, if you're in the right frame of mind.The first movie runs 88 minutes and the second one 82 minutes.GRADE: C-

LeonLouisRicci The French removed the middle of the bathing suit sometime in the late Forties and called it a Bikini. Believe it or not this was Scandalous and the thing was banned for years in America. But there was no holding a good thing back and so Hollywood was there to document its arrival in many a Beach Movies.The same Studio that gave us these Movies full of eye candy and little else decided to broaden the landscape and leave the sand and surf behind. After all, these "Films" were money makers and were extremely popular Drive-In fillers so why stop the sexploitation.Here we have a Spoof of the James Bond Movies and a formula from the Beach Pageants, mixed liberally with the Keystone Cops, The Three Stooges, Jerry Lewis and the Kitchen Sink. It almost works with the very least of expectations and looks colorful and what passed for safe kinkiness at the time. But mostly it is embarrassing.The Sixties revolution hadn't quite begun and liberation was a few years away so this 1965 offering was an emerging anachronism. The kind of stuff that made the Women's Lib movement livid, and the Cultural Styling was rapidly becoming very Square. It really was just a few years too late and it suffers for it because of its Blockheaded outdated Conservative template.Mostly unfunny, cringe-worthy, and immediately outdated, this was a sign of the End Times for this sort of stiff slapstick using a once risqué format called Burlesque that was nothing more than an excuse to ogle shapely scantily clad Females.

TheLittleSongbird I am a great fan of Vincent Price, so I thought I would enjoy Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine. I did reasonably, but disappointingly it is a long way from a good movie. The score is great, as are the songs, the opening song is a classic. The locations are also lovely as are the girls/ladies, while Fred Clark does have an amusing running gag and Vincent Price and Frankie Avalon while very hammy seem to be having a ball here. However, I do agree that the mix of locations and projections in the big chase sequences are distracting and jarring. The story is awfully silly with no real surprises and one too many scenes where it becomes very leaden, while the dialogue is so cheesy it makes you roll your eyes and the gags, with a few exceptions, come very fatigued. In conclusion, not terrible but not particularly good either. 5/10 Bethany Cox
