* DisneyVillainDeath: Goldfoot and Igor seem to suffer this and more, going over a sea-cliff in their motorcycle and then getting hit by a missile [[StockFootage from a warship]]. (Due to said cliff being on a military testing range.) But they somehow survive and reappear unscathed at the very end of the film.

** Avalon's ''Beach Party'' franchise co-stars Creator/AnnetteFunicello and Harvey Lembeck [[TheCameo turn up]] as prisoners in Goldfoot's dungeon. (American International produced said franchise along with ''Bikini Machine''.)

* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: The robot gals in ''Bikini Machine'' usually wear these over their [[{{Fanservice}} gold bikinis]] when out and about in public, paired with [[NiceHat pretty snazzy fedoras]].

* HarmlessFreezing: Rosanna in ''Girl Bombs'' get subjected to this after being kidnapped by Goldfoot.

And the man assigned, very much against his will, to direct all this? Creator/MarioBava. Yes, ''[[Film/BlackSunday that]]'' Mario Bava. The end result was edited into two different films, the English-language ''Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs'' (which focuses more on Price and Fabian) and the Italian-language ''Le Spie Vengono Dal Semifreddo''[[note]]The Spies Who Came in from the Semi-Cold[[/note]] (which features more of the Italian duo). Whichever version you're talking about, it's unsurprisingly a strong contender for the dubious honor of being Bava's worst movie, with Price and Fabian both firmly on record as to how awful it was.

''Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine'' is a 1965 spy spoof directed by [[Film/{{Skippy}} Norman Taurog]], in which the eponymous gold-slippered villain (Creator/VincentPrice), with the questionable assistance of his resurrected flunky Igor (Jack Mullaney), constructs a gang of programmable female [[SexBot sexbots]], who are then assigned to seduce and rob various wealthy men. Sort of opposing Goldfoot are the (very) low-level government agent Craig Gamble ([[Film/BeachBlanketBingo Frankie Avalon]]) and one of Goldfoot's targets, Todd Armstrong ([[Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis Dwayne Hickman]]). After various comedic shenanigans involving the robot Number 11 AKA Diane (Susan Hart) being romantically sicced on our two heroes, the film culminates in an extended slapstick ChaseScene through the streets of UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco.

Oh, and there was also "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8dp7Ps6tX8 The Wild Weird World of Dr. Goldfoot]]", a 1965 musical TV remake/sequel/promo.. thing.. again starring Price and Hart, with Tommy Kirk and Aron Kincaid taking their turn as the protagonists, and Harvey Lembeck playing Goldfoot's cheerfully sycophantic assistant Hugo.
