How to Stuff a Wild Bikini Reviews

Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello are back at it again under the direction of William Asher in this silly addition to their beach movie series. This time Frankie, who has been shipped off to Tahiti with the naval reserve, frets over whether Dee Dee (Funicello) is being faithful. Desperate, he seeks out a local witch doctor (silent great Buster Keaton, in a sad and embarrassing cameo) who creates a flying bikini into which lovely redhead Cassandra (Beverly Adams) is "stuffed." She then seduces Ricky (Dwayne Hickman) away from Dee Dee, with whom he'd been flirting. Harvey Lembeck returns as motorcycle gang leader Eric Von Zipper, along with the usual gang of Playmates, singers, and comedians. The most famous Beach Boy of them all, Brian Wilson, makes an appearance as a (lower case) beach boy, and among the young women are no less than four Playboy Playmates, who reveal much more skin than onetime Mouseketeer Funicello, who was pregnant at the time. A sequel, GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI, followed the next year.
