I finally saw Ghost In The Invisible Bikini (didn't know that it existed) & felt that it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. Granted, Annette, Frankie, & Bonehead were absent, among others, but there was still Harvey, Aaron, Tommy, Susan Hart, Bobbi, Deborah, along with Nancy, Piccola, The Bobby Fuller Four, Karloff, Rathbone, Jesse, & Patsy Kelly, etc. Buster Keaton had cancer, so he obviously could not perform. This was the most expensive & last beach party movie AIP ever produced.
I think this movie was OK as beach films go. It was FAR better than Ski Party, or even the first beach film. It has two classic horror stars in it too [Karloff and Rathbone]. It also has two great musical acts.
this music sound track has NOTHING in common with BF4 playing, like on their \FAB live El Paso 1963 LP on N... records. On that LP they prove they could outplay the British Invasion bands, incl. the Fab Four ( Beetels)I m a BF fan vintage 1966 style.
This movie was so bad....BF4 saw the movie late March 66' at a drive-in theater in Grand Rapids,Mich. we got in just as they were closing, The guy in the box office said "we're closed!" and told him I had BF4 right here in the truck and he said "Of, the IFTL guys, prove it....Bobby stuck his head out the door and sang part of "IFTL" and the ticket guy said "Ya'll can go on in, , it's on the house!"
@bffour Rick, is it true that the BFF's music wasn't even used in the movie, that they lip synced someone else's music? It's pretty obvious that they aren't even playing the instruments (bet the studio didn't even let them keep 'em). Looks like a really sucky rip off of a '60's beach party movie - still I'd like to get a copy just to have some video footage of Bobby and the group...
What a great add for Vox. The guitar, organ Amp & bass. Bobby wouyld have never used 'em live. Fender Strat all the Way! Give the brit gear back to Boris & Basil.....
Thanks Puppy J..Nothing beats being there.;) I Just wish Bobby could have had a chance to put out a few more years of Music. California was so corrupt back in 66'....The cops hid all the details of his death and called it a suicide...what an insult!!
It's from the movie "Ghost in the Invisible Bikini" Bobby Fuller was duped into appearing in this movie thinking he would perform his own songs. Instead he was handed Vox equipment(he was a Fender man) and made to mime fuzz surf instrumentals and hawk Wham-O toys!
I guess it has something to do with being born and raised in Hollywood, Ca and hanging out as well as working in record shops all my life. Also worked on a show with Don Weiss, the director, back in the 80's and picked his brain about the movie or what he remembered of it.

What a fabulous bunch of young "sex hussy women" and young stud men, all shaking a THING. The start of a sex revolution for sure!
Love the fuzz guitar and driving beat. Pretty cool images of young California Beach and Sun culture from the early 1960's. This is just TOO COOL!!
