"There are two things in the world I can't stand: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch." – Nigel Powers

Why watch this? Powers' third and final outing puts forth a hilarious, well-oiled comedy.

Plot Summary: Groovy spy Austin Powers learns that his famous spy father, Nigel Powers, has been kidnapped by a Dutch villain named Goldmember, who has an obsession with gold. Austin travels back in time to the year 1975 to stop Goldmember and rescue his father, where he encounters FBI Agent, Foxxy Cleopatra, who joins him on his mission. Together, they must foil Goldmember and Dr. Evil's plot, which involves a tractor beam designed to pull a molten meteor of gold to Earth, threatening global devastation

Dad's Preview: In this outing, Myers takes on four roles: Powers, Dr. Evil, Goldmember, and, back again, the blubber-filled Scottish mass known as Fat Bastard. It's a fitting end to the film series with lots of laughs. The scene on the submarine where Powers and Mini-Me are forced to take a Navy physical is one of the funniest comedy bits I can remember.
