Austin Powers: How to be an International Man of Mystery

Product Information

Vocal Dissonance: At one point during the "Just The Two Of Us" musical number, the 2'8" Mini-Me sings a line in a very low baritone voice. Preemptive "Shut Up": Every time Scott points out the flaws in Dr. Evil's plans, Dr. Evil will throw a "Shh!" at him. Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Though Convection, Schmonvection is played straight, this trope is surprisingly averted. Objects (and people) which fall into the lava do not sink to the bottom, and at no point does the lava "flow". Batman Can Breathe in Space: Mini-Me is ejected out into space unprotected, and survives completely unharmed though Dr. Evil thinks this warrants a flu shot).

Straight Gay: The Beefeater remains still when Felicity kisses him on one of his cheeks. When Austin does the same to the other cheek, the guard turns toward Austin and cheekily smiles.

Clerk: One book: Swedish-made Penis Enlarger Pumps and Me: ( This Sort of Thing Is My Bag, Baby), by... Austin Powers. Knighting: Austin gets knighted after catching Dr. Evil. Goes from being a cool moment to a sad one when his father doesn't show up. GPS Evidence: The heroes are able to find the location of Dr. Evil's volcano lair by analyzing Fat Bastard's stool sample, discovering traces of a rare vegetable that only grows on one island in the entire world.

Retrieved November 27, 2019. Creepy Hairless Animal: Dr. Evil has a Right-Hand Cat named Mr. Bigglesworth, who loses all of his hair during a cryogenics accident. Before the accident he's played by a white Persian cat, after it he's played by a Sphinx. Twisted Echo Cut: A similar gag as done in the second movie. This time with the satellite that looks like a pair of big— Bazookas? And so on. It's entirely likely that, given he was taken down in Austin & Vanessa's hotel room, Random Task was simply sent to prison.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Scott asks this almost verbatim: "why don't you just kill him?", in a scene parodying this kind of thing. (Dr.Evil instead lowers Austin and Vanessa into a pool of mutated sea bass.) Joke Exhaustion: Whenever Austin offs a mook, he'll rattle off a list of incredibly lame Bond one liners about the nature of said mook's death. He generally has to be stopped by someone else before he'll move on. There is also a bunch of sexual euphemisms at the end. Show Within a Show: Austinpussy, originally the intended title of this installment (a parody of Octopussy), which they couldn't get past the censors. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred Tom Cruise as Austin, Gwyneth Paltrow as the Bond Girl, Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil, Danny DeVito as Mini-Me, and John Travolta as Goldmember.

Retrieved 2010-12-04.In May 2007, in an interview with IGN, "So no more Austin Powers?" was asked, and Myers replied, "No, no, there is a fully conceived idea for a fourth and I can just say that it's from Dr. Evil's point of view. So if you balanced how much of it was Austin with Dr. Evil, it's more about Dr. Evil than Austin". [26] Also, in the audio commentary from the DVD release of Austin Powers in Goldmember, Myers revealed that in the fourth film, Fat Bastard would return and regain the weight that he lost in Goldmember. [27] A-Team Firing: Zigzagged. Austin himself is rather guilty of it, firing in completely random directions and somehow managing to hit almost nothing. Other times, Austin's so accurate that it's a wonder anyone ever gets near him. Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "DO! YOU! WORK! FOR! NUMBER! TWO!??" (original release version. The current releases use the clip of Austin shouting "Who... does... Number Two... work for?!") Mini-Me: The character Mini-Me introduced in the second film is the Trope Namer, as he's a clone of Dr. Evil in "every way" except 1/8th his size. Like the operatives of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., Dr. Evil has a ring with insignia. The Bond baddies have an octopus. Dr. Evil has a fancy “E.”
