Le spie vengono dal semifreddo—Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs
Although the AIP retains the scene introducing Dr. Goldfoot’s pool of piranha, the two subsequent “pay- off” scenes of Franco and Ciccio’s in- teraction with the carnivorous fish are both cut from that version.

Fong wades into the pool without incident. Franco and Ciccio sneak away to ex- plore the interior of the villa. While snooping around the bathroom for clues, they are attacked by yet another
