"my father would womanize, he would drink. he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. my childhood was typical. summers in rangoon, luge lessons. in the spring we'd make meat helmets. when i was insolent i was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. pretty standard, really."

Really holds up. The only strike it has against it is that there wasn’t a lot to discover this time around because none of the jokes went over my head when I was nine. I was smart as hell and really great at understanding irony at nine, which robbed me of my chance to rewatch this at 31 and be like “wow this movie works on a whole level I missed out on!” That’s just my cross to bear. Probably not yours though, you idiot. You absolute drooling rube.

I can sufficiently say that..... I find this movie infinitely more entertaining than any Bond film and also (hot take) : I think that the “Austin Powers” franchise actually has better “Bond girls” than any Bond film. 

“Shall we shag now, or shag later ?” 
“Groovy, Baby” 
“Oh Behave !” 
“Smashing, Baby” 

“The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.”

Watched this at a sleepover and it was like the stupid nine year old boy version of when the Beatles heard Elvis on the radio for the first time.

Much like Enema of the State this is either good or bad, but I'll never know which because I was the exact right age and temperament for it so I'm trapped inside of loving it for the rest of my stupid life.

The end of that sleepover story is that my friend's little sister found out we watched this and told us we were going to hell.

So dumb and so silly but just the best. So many gags and so many quotable lines. Do I feel old that this movie is turning 23? Yeah baby!

would’ve loved to have seen the long pee scene in theaters. everyone going, “hahahahaha” together.

Peter Deming, David Lynch’s go to cinematographer, shot this.

“Vanessa, don’t have a thrombo!”

Every time I revisit Austin Powers, I love it more. It wasn't until this viewing, however, that I noticed how technically great it was. The whites and grays of Dr. Evil's lair perfectly juxtapose the extravagant colors of Austin Powers. There are so many borrowed techniques and homages to other films from the 60's and 70's that Roach and Myers bring to the table, in addition to the great Bond references. In fact, the more Bond films I watch (I've only seen a handful), the more I want to go back to Powers and notice things.

This is one of the greatest parodies ever and, if you didn't love it the first time around, I urge you to watch it again. The music, the jokes, and the overall style of the film make for a really enjoyable experience. Jay Roach says it best on the commentary track: "Style can be funny".

the fembots are empowered and nuanced

First rewatch in a decade proved that this was, in fact, still my bag baby.

i actually didn’t seen this when i was kid

This film could have had one of the only believable "it's not what it looks like" plots but even this film was too good for it.

Definitely a put on in the background movie

There’s a very good cat in this.

the name’s Fagina. Alotta Fagina.

“Allow myself to introduce... myself.”

Most accurate depiction of the British on film

Everybody watch WandaVision

that’s my bag baby

Hands down my favorite movie to watch on acid.

Agora sim a verdadeira maratona do agente secreto britânico começa !!!

Uma sátira engraçada, com apelo sexual e politicamente incorreta, estas paródias reinavam no fim dos anos 90 e começo dos anos 2000, zuando os filmes e os gêneros cinematográficos. Já que 007 de James Bond já era mais do que sucesso, tinha que aparecer uma comédia escrachada para ele. E Mike Myers foi o mestre em dá vida à Austin Powers, o agente britânico hipper dos anos 60. Tem boas cenas e tiradas que dá para ter risadas, e um roteiro sobre décadas e gerações, pois os atos dele não cabiam mais na década que ele acordou mais tarde, os anos 90.

Name: Austin Danger Paulin

Also as I’ve never seem austin powers before, i really wish people would stop referring to me as austin powers, thanks
