No sooner had I given a praise to the sweet natured farce, "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine", along came this, the first of many unnecessary sequels that lead to fiasco's in the future like "Exorcist II: The heretic", "Grease II" and "Airplane II". I am aware that the first film left the door open for a follow up, but it's too bad that they basically just watched Saturday morning cartoons for inspiration rather than come up with anything clever.
Back and as bad as ever, buffoonish evil scientist Vincent Price wants to take over the world, and he's about as likely to as Snidely Whiplash or Boris Badinov. Rather than fighting Frankie Avalon, he's after Fabian this time, hiding out in Europe and ten times as Looney as before. It's obvious from the start that this is going to be a fiasco, for even as silly as the first one was, it had charm and cleverness in its idiocy. This just screams juvenile and amateur with stupid Italian sidekicks for Fabian talking in sped up voices at times and acting like they are escapees from the Scooby Doo franchise. This one really bites the bomb.
Plot summary
Dr. Goldfoot once again plots to take over the world by using female robots designed to blow up high-ranking generals of NATO countries, starting a war between Russia and America. It's up to disgraced SIC agent Bill Dexter to stop Goldfoot.

Bomb is right....
An Italian Slapstick Comedy Lacking any Humor
Although his car plunges over a cliff at the end of the previous movie, "Dr. Goldfoot" (Vincent Price) does not die. Instead he reappears in this sequel and begins using female robots with bombs attached to them to blow up NATO generals all over the world. His goal is to start a war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact so that he and his Chinese partners can take over the world. Fortunately, a disgraced agent for S.I.C. (Security Intelligence Command) by the name of "Bill Dexter" (Fabian) recognizes something sinister is afoot and with the help of a young woman named "Rosanna" (Laura Antonelli) sets out to investigate the matter. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I didn't particularly care for this movie for a number of reasons. First of all, for a comedy it just wasn't that funny with the two bumbling Italian agents "Franco" (Franco Franchi) and "Ciccio" (Ciccio Ingrassia) being especially annoying. Likewise, the script was equally horrid as well. To make matters even worse, although this movie proudly boasted of having a number of sexy, young ladies in skimpy bikinis, only Moa Tahi (as "Hardjob") and the aforementioned Laura Antonelli were even remotely attractive. In short, this movie turned out to be a very poor sequel and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
Dr. Goldfoot strikes again
Vincent Price must have signed for two pictures otherwise I can hardly believe there was a demand for a sequel to Dr. Goldfoot In The Bikini Machine. This film was done in Italy and I can hardly believe that Vincent Price and Fabian the only two Americans in the cast weren't slightly embarrassed. I'm sure Fabian longed for the day when he was in films with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart.
When last seen Dr. Goldfoot was driving off a cliff on to a beach on the Pacific coast. But somehow he survived the crash and he's now in business with whom we called the Red Chinese back in the day. He's developed a new line of beautiful female robots. These are plastic and in close embrace will explode and self destruct taking whomever they were embracing. Guess what one contacts with in order to trigger them?
In any event secret agent Fabian is seeking Price and he's got a real live Laura Antonelli seeking Price as well. Add to that Italian comedians Franco Fanelli and Cicco Ingrassia as a pair of bumbling agents. They've got to stop Dr. Goldfoot from setting the USSR and the US from annihilating each other with a war Goldfoot has plans to start.
As for Vincent Price I will say that this gives him an opportunity to play once again Dr. Goldfoot as a Snidely Whiplash type villain. He looks like he's having a great old time. Unfortunately he's in a film that's more stupid than funny.
