"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.
