Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine Audience Reviews

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
rbrooksie12 This movie has only a few positive things about it. It is fun, very original, and The Supremes sing the title song. That is about it.Vincent Price plays Dr. Goldfoot, a mad scientist who creates robots to go seduce rich guys and get their money. Frankie Avalon plays Craig Gamble, and Dwayne Hickman plays Todd Armstrong, a victim of one of Dr. Goldfoot's robots, and together they go and investigate Dr. Goldfoot's plant.The movie is fun and original but by no means is it good. When the viewer is done watching the movie, he/she has nothing to wonder, or nothing to ask him/herself. It would appear by watching this that the directors/producers did not aim to make this movie good or memorable, but they aimed to make this 88 minutes of fun. When you ask somebody to name some good films from the 1960s, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine does not come anywhere close to making that list. It might serve as nostalgia to some, but to younger people, I would encourage you to stay away from this one unless you are a fan of silly 1960s screwball comedies.
Witchfinder General 666 It is beyond doubt that Nroman Taurog's "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" of 1965 is about as dumb as it gets, but funny dumb that is. The great Vincent Price stars as the eponymous villain in this absurd comedy brought to screen by American International Pictures, a film promising nothing more or less than 88 minutes of wonderfully stupid fun. And it is, of course, none other than Vincent Price, as far as I am considered one of the greatest actors of all-time, who gives this film its cult-status.The mad Dr. Goldfoot (Price) plans to obtain the world's riches with the help of an army of babes in golden bikinis. These sexy women in bikinis, who are actually robots brought to life by Goldfoot and his moronic assistant Igor, are programmed to seduce rich men and hand their stocks over to their master. After they have both fallen for sexy fem-bot Diane (Susan Hart), millionaire Todd Armstrong (Dwayne Hickman) and secret agent Craig Gamble (Frankie Avalon) decide to put a stop to Goldfoot's game...Vincent Price is, as always, great in his role, and basically the only good reason to watch this film. Sexy Susan Hart fits well in her role of the seductive robot-girl Diane, and so do the other robot-girls provide more eye-candy. Dwayne Hickman and Frankie Avalon deliver plain dreadful performances, even for a super-silly comedy like this. Then again, they were certainly instructed to act exaggeratedly stupid. The funky theme-song by The Supremes gives the film some more cult-value. The film itself will never make the viewers laugh themselves to death, but it is able to constantly put a smirk on one's face. The producers obviously thought it would be a good idea to spoof brilliant AIP-produced Vincent Price classics, such as "House Of Usher" (1960) and "The Pit And The Pendulum" (1961). For the pendulum sequence towards the end, they actually shamelessly used several sequences from "Pit And The Pendulum". The film keeps getting dumber and dumber, but it always stays fun. Only the overlong chase in the end (about 10 minutes) is almost inendurable. As mentioned above, this is about as dumb as it gets, but it is nevertheless (or should I say therefore) great fun to watch. Vincent Price fans shouldn't miss it.
peterk-18 Maybe the title is a bit off putting. You probably shouldn't tell your parents or girlfriend that your watching this film unless they're already familiar with the film. The movie isn't necessarily great, but its funnier than that Flint guy (If you aren't familiar with 1967's Our Man Flint then consider yourself lucky). Not quite as good as Casino Royale(the old one not the 2006 film) but its fairly close.The Pit and the Pendulum scene was hilarious. As usual the Doctor in the Vincent Price movie dies, but this time Price is the doctor. I recommend this movie if you enjoy slap-stick, Vincent Price making an idiot out of himself, or fans of the sixties bikini comedies.
moonspinner55 Taking advantage of the current craze over mad scientists, wacky world-domination schemes and kittenish bad girls, A.I.P. studios (rather smoothly) segues from the "Beach Party" flicks to this Bondian slapstick outing (with several "Beach" players in roles and cameos). Frankie Avalon mugs like a rubber-man playing ordinary Joe in San Francisco who stumbles upon intriguing scheme hatched by Vincent Price's Dr. Goldfoot: rob the world's wealthiest men by seducing them (and their checkbooks) with comely female robots. Price, in gold satin elf slippers, is relaxed and fun, and their are cute bits from Deborah Walley, Harvey Lembeck and a wordless Annette Funicello, but Avalon--attempting a bumbling, klutzy persona--single-handedly turns the proceedings into dim-witted camp. Dwayne Hickman isn't much better, and has to contend with some really sketchy writing (even after getting evidence that his wife is robot, he still wants to woo her in bed!). The movie isn't badly made, it has a cute theme song (with vocals by the Supremes!) and some minor-league laughs, but "Austin Powers" aficionados won't be thrilled with the girls (none with the exception of star Susan Hart are particularly gorgeous) nor the gold bikinis, which look shapeless by today's standards. ** from ****
