Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

ComedyCrime

Directed by Jay Roach

As a swinging fashion photographer by day and a groovy British superagent by night, Austin Powers is the '60s' most shagadelic spy. But can he stop megalomaniac Dr. Evil after the bald villain freezes himself and unthaws in the '90s? With the help of sexy sidekick Vanessa Kensington, he just might. From TMDB

    Just marathoned the Austin Powers movies back-to-back while doing some cleaning tonight. Quick thoughts: -1 is all over the place, but is surprisingly still mostly funny, though it hasn't aged well in some spots -2 is a drag, I don't care for it -Beyoncé and Michael Caine are fun enough in 3

    It’s tempting to assume that Austin Powers would explore Polyamory in a new movie if he was alive today, but I think that undersells how ruthlessly Dr. Evil and Frau Farbissina could run a Polycule.

    A South African Nazi bent on destruction of American democracy with access to the US Treasury multi-trillion dollar payment system, what could possibly go wrong. The concept of this being allowed is so ludicrous it would have been rejected as an Austin Powers film plot.

  • the Howling North @[email protected]Lemmy · Aug 30, 2026

    Would 'Project Vulcan' from Austin Powers actually have done anything?. In the first Austin Powers movie, Dr. Evil steals a 50 kiloton nuclear weapon, straps it to a drill and is going to fire it into the mantle to trigger volcanic eruptions world wide. My instinct is that, compared to a lot of nuclear weapons in the megaton range, 50 kilotons is not really a lot, and using it to try to move rock (even molten rock) is not going to accomplish his goal. Would it even cause a measurable change…

    There really is no better/convincing movie flashback than the graduation scene in Austin Powers in Goldmember. To find one actor to play a passable young cast member is a feat, let alone Austin, Dr Evil, Number 2, and Basil. The film deserves more credit for that.
