 Beach Hybrid - With Vincent Price & Susan Hart. October 9, 2009
STP Wave (California)
A sinister mad scientist, Dr. Goldfoot (Vincent Price), along with his incompetent assistant Igor, is looking to conquer the world by amassing the wealth of all the world's richest men, & how does he intend to do this? By deploying an army of beautiful female robots (that he created) into seducing them, then disposing of them once their programmed objective is obtained. His most perfect creation, #11: Diane - Susan Hart) is sent out to beautiful downtown San Francisco to attract the attention of Todd Armstrong, one SF's most wealthiest single gentlemen, in order to marry him for all he is worth to Dr. Goldfoot. Somehow number eleven suffers mechanical malfunctions when she encounters a series of unfortunate events which cause her to derail into the arms of Secret Intelligent Commmand agent Craig Gamble (Frankie Avalon), a humble, but penniless SIC officer. This does not please Dr. Goldfoot & he has Diane reprogrammed & resent to her original suitor. Meanwhile Craig Gamble has discovered Dr. Goldfoot's diabolical plot & seeks to undermine his intent by exposing his plans to Todd Armstrong. Madcap slapstick comedy ensues & Dr. Goldfoot's goal for world domination is ultimately thwarted. Was this the end to Dr. Goldfoot & his bikini machine? Apparently so, because the sequel (even with famed horror master, Mario Bava directing) was so bad, future installments were halted.
To see a classically trained actor like the late Vincent Price ham it up for this role is worth the cost of the DVD alone & of course there's the beautiful Susan Hart (#11).
I have been searching for this movie in the widescreen DVD format & apparently it is out of print, but as luck would have it, Amazon.com has come through again for me.
Thanks Amazon!
Amazon Rules!
Mindless Fun!! July 9, 2009
William G. Ratcliffe (Lawrenceville, New Jersey United States)
As a youngester, and with an older sister who was at home alot taking care of her children, I would sometimes stay with her to help out. During these times on Saturday afternoons we would have the time to check out what tv had to offer.
Remembering how sinister Vincent Price was with what films I have seen him in already at that point, my sister made sure that this film was different. She used to go to the movies alot growing up, so i assumed she had seen this before. Think I was right.
From the start, I heard the Supremes sing the title song. WHAT A TREAT! I love the Supremes!
Then the film progresses. I saw Annette Funicello! I love her too!
Susan Hart is gorgeous. Frankie Avalon. Well, saw him too. Just wasn't prepared to see him do slapstick and straight-forward comedy with clothes on as was used to seeing him in bathing trunks.
Vincent Price on the other hand was cool to see. His performance was off the cuff, natural, and down-right perfect.
To those who disliked this film: you have high expectations!
This film was created to cash-in on the James Bond craze, and American International seemed to sometimes like to make a buck by doing films like these.
I was entertained. I expected nothing more. Even though I grew up to experience film on a higher level, does not discount the fact that I still can get a laugh out of this film. It is great nastalgia, and still entertains on many levels.
Enjoy!
 Spy-themed Beach Party follow-on doesn't measure up July 4, 2009
hyperbolium (Earth, USA)
American International Picture's spy-themed 1965 follow-on to their successful Beach Party series does not measure up to its teen-fun predecessors nor its spy-film lampooning peers. Frankie Avalon and Dwayne Hickman each made better teen films, and though co-star Vincent price is a hoot and Susan Hart is hot, the screenplay is a dud. Worse yet, the script's original musical bent was trimmed down to only the terrific Guy Hemric/Jerry Styner-penned theme song. The film's low production values are mediated by great location footage of San Francisco and a terrific claymation title sequence by Gumby's creator, Art Clokey. Like any number of 1960s spy films - dramas and comedies - there's a lot of opportunity to pick out things Mike Myers poached for his Austin Powers series, not least of which are the gold bikini clad fembots. Lots of slapstick from the entire cast (which includes character actor Jack Mullaney), and some entertainingly bad green screen work in which Avalon and Hickman ride a motorbike amongst what seem to be gigantic trucks and cars. Keep your eye peeled for cameos from several AIP Beach Party stars. The original Beach Party films are better entertainment (particularly for their musical content) and better mid-60s spy spoofs can be found, but if you've exhausted both genres, see this one for completeness. Nice crisp print, but the original trailer is the only extra. [©2009 hyperbolium dot com]

This is a cute comedy. It always makes me laugh. I would always watch it on tv when ever it came on. I was very pleased when I was able to buy it.

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...
