Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold, sometimes listed as Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfolds, is a 1995 comedy science fiction film that spoofs Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, with a notable amount of nudity. Fred Olen Ray directed it. The cast includes J.J. North, Ted Monte, Tammy Parks, Raelyn Saalman, Nikki Fritz, John LaZar, Tim Abell, and Jay Richardson. Russ Tamblyn and Michelle Bauer appear in cameos, and science fiction writer Brad Linaweaver receives a "running man" credit. Tommy Kirk also has a small role.
The plot follows three finalists for Plaything Magazine's "Centerfold of the Year"—Inga, Betty, and Angel Grace—during a photoshoot. After Betty insults her, Angel visits Dr. Lindstrom's clinic to resume taking experimental beauty drugs. Lindstrom warns that extra doses could kill her but gives her a case of vials, instructing her to take only one daily. Later, at the Plaything Mansion, Angel oversleeps and, noticing wrinkles from a missed dose, takes several vials at once. She passes out and wakes up a couple of feet taller, though she doesn't realize it. At the photoshoot, everyone notices her growth. She faints, and by the time the others return with founder Bob Gordon, she has become a giantess.
A circus tent is set up for Angel, who is distressed. Mark and Gordon plot to make her the centerfold, exploit her size, and then hand her over to the government. Wilson, Mark's assistant, overhears and confronts Mark, but is dismissed. Mark lies to Angel, claiming a specialist is coming. Wilson sneaks into her tent, confesses his love, and reveals the deception, but she doesn't believe him. He then contacts Dr. Lindstrom, who agrees to visit. Meanwhile, Betty finds a rough copy of the magazine promising "Plaything's 'Biggest Centerfold Yet'" and, furious, steals and takes several vials of the drugs.
Mark convinces Angel to do the photoshoot. Gordon and Wilson arrive, and Angel confronts Gordon about lying. Betty, now also giant, attacks Angel. Their fight moves to downtown Los Angeles. Lindstrom, Mark, and Wilson follow. Wilson uses an antidote Lindstrom created, shrinking both women back to normal. Wilson and Angel embrace. Mark tries to kiss Betty, but she explodes from an instability in the antidote, killing them both. The film was loosely remade in 2012 as Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader.
