Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorge Harrison was a big fan of the Austin Powers franchise. The very last letter he wrote was to Mike Myers, praising him for his work. The letter was never mailed but coincidentally ended up in Myers' hands the day the former Beatle died eight months before the release of Goldmember. It was on that day during the scene for the Hollywood movie version ("starring" Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito, and "directed" by Steven Spielberg) of Austin Powers' "biopic" was shot. Prior to that moment, Myers had never met Harrison and "cried like a baby" when he received the letter, which is now in a frame in his home.
- GoofsGoldmember curses in German, rather than Netherlands Dutch.
- Quotes
Nigel Powers: There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
- Crazy creditsThe credit for the company that created the animatronic sharks reads: "Sharks with frickin laser beams"
- Alternate versionsIn Roboto's office, the subtitles read "Please eat some shit" when blocked by a white tea kettle on his desk. Apon moving it, the full subtitle reads "Please eat some shitake mushrooms." In the TV version, it's changed to "Please eat some dung" and when fully uncovered reads "Please eat some Dungeness crab."

Featured review
The weakest of the series, but Myers still has his mojo
After thoroughly enjoying the first two Austin Powers movies, they were daft but enormous fun, I watched this third instalment. I was disappointed admittedly, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The plot takes the whole meaning of daftness to a whole level, so some of it verges on ridiculous, and while Mike Myers is brilliant as Austin and Dr Evil, he overdoes it as the Dutch villain Goldmember and the cameos are very hit and miss. That said, the sets and costumes are still wonderful, the soundtrack is groovy and the script is comedy gold with the cool catchphrases, bad-taste buffoonery and surreal slapstick. In terms of supporting performances Beyonce Knowles is a knockout as sexy and sassy Foxxy Cleopatra and Michael Caine is a dentally-challenged delight as Austin's dad. Seth Green is also fun as Scott Evil. Overall, an inferior sequel, but it was still a lot of fun, with Myers still having his mojo. 7/10 Bethany Cox
