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.
