Trivia

A number of the cast were stars from American-International's "Beach Party" series films. This one was the studio's attempt to take those films into a new area. See more »

Goofs

During the chase scene, Dr. Goldfoot and Igor on the motorcycle are less than a block behind Craig and Todd in a red convertible. One reverse shot at the top of the hill shows the motorcycle and sidecar from behind, with no other cars on the street all the way to the bottom of the hill, several blocks away. See more »

Quotes

Dr. Goldfoot: [as he and Igor lead Craig and Todd to the dungeon] The rooms I'm about to show you are the most interesting in my workshop. Oh, incidentally, these are some of my ancestors.
Dr. Goldfoot: [Indicates various portrait paintings on the wall] This was my great-grandfather - the most bloodthirsty pirate who was ever hung, drawn and quartered. And this one brought the terrors of the Inquisition to the peaceful villages of Carpathia - I like him! And this is Sandor the Slob. He was a Slav. He taught Attila the Hun ...

Wonderfully stupid fun
11 January 2006 | by estabansmytheSee all my reviews

Dr. Goldfoot has:

1. Vincent Price having a field day hamming it up like John Barrymore on scotch and speed!

2. Harvey Lembeck as Erich Von Zipper in a hilarious 10-second cameo!

3. The titanic teaming of Dobie Gillis and Frankie Avalon!

4. One of the finest "second bananas," the late Jack Mullaney as Price's Mad Scientist henchman, Igor!

5. Tons of young American International babes!

6. The Supremes singing the title song!

7. It's directed by Elvis' #1 Man, Norman Taurog!

8. It's written by the Three Stooges #1 Man, Ellwood Ullman!

WOW!

What have you got: Only the greatest film since "Gone With The Wind," "Citizen Kane" and "The Bicycle Thief"! Okay, perhaps not - but it is a ton of zany low budget screwball fun,'60s American International-style.

I really liked it.
