Have a great New Year everyone!
Have you seen the James Bond movies, then? Cause I think you'd enjoy Austin Powers a lot more, if you had. And also...Bond is awesome, please react to them. Thx
Young Frankenstein is on Prime Video, not sure if you have that but thought I'd pass that on.
"Austin Powers is an Entity and Ultron. Plus he could destroy Thanos with a look."
I'm definitely not gonna debate this theory, cause it does seem legitimate 😂😂😂
If you got a po box ill send you my Young Frankenstein. Its another one from my top 10 list and i have more then one copy.
Happy New Year!
Dude! That wasn’t a blade runner reference, that was 100% Demolition Man! You gotta watch demo man if you haven’t seen it yet, even if it’s only for the seashells.
Demolition Man would be a fun reaction to see.
He finally matched his meat..
Everyone needed the three seashells last year when TP was in short supply.
I gotta cosign this comment. 100%.
Demolition Man was faaar ahead of its time, in that its sadly not funny anymore - never thought we would get to THAT place!
Seth Green actually said that he played Scott so straight because everything else around him was so over the top, so his realistic reactions just made it even funnier
He seems to have a habit of that. When auditioning for Chris Griffin in Family Guy, most actors were voicing him as a "surfer dude", whilst Seth went against the norm to be the character it is today.
I never really thought about it that way, but totally agree with his approach
He's good at playing the straight man character. It was the same way with his role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
@@SnowyWolborg Idle Hands. He was that side character that is always trying to talk sense to the main character. Like DUDE, what are you doing? DUDE, did you forget that YOU killed ME?
@@stuartspencer2161 This makes more sense. Chris isn't cool, he isn't going to adopt some street personality far from his parents. He's a loser in Rhode Island so he's going to sound like his dad.
It isn't that Scott is hungry to shoot someone, as much as him pointing out the absurdity of elaborate death traps that heroes escape in movies and TV shows.
@@neilsun2521 That was a frequent occurrence in the '60s silly Batman TV series, also, but the James Bond comparison is more apt.
@@neilsun2521 And how they explain every detail of their plan. haha
A "Pun" on the Roger Moore bond movies!
It wasn’t until I saw more James Bond movies that I realized how good the satire of Austin Powers was. Really funny stuff.
Just like the movie Blazing Saddles, Austin Powers basically killed the genre it was parodying, an example is the modern Bond Films compared to the rest
It's a very good take on James Bond flicks!
Have you seen the "Our Man Flint" Series? Trailer-ruclips.net/video/lQwJQkEh2QY/видео.html
The series has always reminded me of the In Like Flint series of movies starring James Coburn
they should actually put up a large disclaimer at the start of these type of parody movies warning people "you will miss half of the movie unless you've seen X, Y, Z"
This movie has a lot of great little moments like Dr Evil sliding off his chair, Frau saving Scott, Austin refusing drunk Vanessa’s advances, etc. I’m always interested to know what makes big impacts on someone watching. Those small moments give the movie its character and make it so lovable.
How Austin fires a gun, ha ha, always gets me.
The "shhhh" scene between Dr Evil and Scott
big scenes and set pioeces are a given in movies its the little things that often make you fall in love with characters. especially if they dont get alot of screen time, its something marvel usually does quite well.
@@dillonoickle5841 T2, during the cyberdyne building attack, when John breaks the glass holding the arm and the microchip from the first Terminator, also just after when Miles asks the Terminator how set off the explosives and the Terminator replies "Remote control" and clicks his tongue while demonstrating with his hand.
"What would you people say if you found out the FBI or CIA operated like this?" I was a US Marine. Can say, with confidence, that this would absolutely happen. This is government work at its finest. It would not surprise me in the slightest if I found out the Alphabet agencies were like this. I remember five or so years ago, there was a special DEA detail along with Air Force doing counternarcotic operations in Colombia that got busted for having cocaine parties complete with hookers. That's why titles like "military grade" or "government approved" do not impress me
jarheadjew06: Needless to say, the descent of the alphabet agencies pretty much look like our local, State, and National government agencies. The buffoonery you mentioned was the beginning of the end...or so I've been told and observing. The old guard retired and the childish idjits took over. We're in for a bumpy millennium... according to sources. haha
I saw this in the theater when it came out and I laughed so hard I literally was falling out of my seat. So was everyone else. The meme world today owes Austin Powers a debt of gratitude. 🤣
The chemistry between Mike and Seth is so damn good. Just gets more weird and layered in the sequels.
Comedy sequels are usually hot garbage but not with Austin Powers.
I still think Goldmember has some of the best enduring jokes.
I think that's the really amazing thing about the Austin Powers franchise. It was consistently good throughout all three movies.
@@MoxieMcMurder can’t disagree, and yet I think I might love Spy Who Shagged Me more than 1 and 3.
Probably the greatest comedy sequel ever.
I don't care what anyone says, the Austin Powers films are legendary. Mike Myers is a master of physical comedy. Every character is iconic. They're a perfect marriage of British and American comedy, yet it never panders to either audience.
Austin Powers is a (kinda) British institution that played a major role in the development of my taste in comedy (although I was deffo too young to be watching them) and it's not even about the sexual aspect of the comedy for me, it's the character work, referential, spoof and physical comedy, and for all of that, Mike Myers is a (kind of) national treasure.
Anyway, I hope you do the other 2 soon!
What says you were too young? Is see this a lot but if no harm was done and it helped inspire you, were you really too young?
@@JanG859 maybe
This movie is still funny as hell, and both sequels easily have some very worthwhile comedy as well.
(At the absolute very least, you must encounter the character that is Mini-Me. And don't you dare miss out on Fat Bastard while we're on the subject.)
I ate a baby!
It’s a really love it or hate it movie, I loved it but I remember some friends just staring at the screen saying it’s stupid. But that’s the point it’s stupid for stupids sake 😁
@@themadsamplist -"Dr .Evil. You get your mojo, you get your money And I'll get your baby." *Chomp* *Chomp* *Haha*
@@GreatestCornholio you should’ve told ur friends it’s as if leslie nielsen took on a james bond role in the future.
Body positivity bastard today
this is such a perfect comedy. sure it's goofy and ridiculous, but Myers' performance is incredible. he's all in and it carries the movie
OK, so Austin Powers does spoof the Sean Connery Bond movies. But the character is directly based on Derek Flint from _Our Man Flint,_ a spy-comedy film, and Harry Palmer from a more seriously toned 1960s spy film series staring Michael Caine. Also, the opening credits are based on the Beatles' film _A Hard Days' Night._
Derek Flint.
Dave Wolf: Among other things. You forgot the Pink Panther movies, Mel Brooks' Get Smart tv show, and others that lend history to this kind of spoof. Not just the Bond films, though it's likely the main one. haha
Austin has very, very little in common with Flint other than the “judo chop”. Flint himself is already a parody so doing a parody of him makes little sense.
Don't forget the Matt Helm Movies.
One of Mike Myers' earliest films was "Wayne's World", and it was really hilarious. He was at the top of his game in the 1990s.
Classic trilogy. Mike Myers' 1993 film _So I Married An Axe Murderer_ is worth adding to the list. One of the funniest comedies of the '90s & possibly Myers' best.
"actually I don't answer to a commissioner"
It sucks it flipped because it really is a solid funny film 😭
@@AddSerious "It's a quorum so to speak." 😆😂🤣
I crave it fortnightly.
@@andrewcharles459 "oooo your gunna buy my chicken"
"My cycloptic colleague!" Has been one of my fav lines in any comedy movie. The way he delivers it and that amazing face expression, just gives it this almost improv feel to it. I cry with laughter every time I see the scene.
I think his backstory in therapy was all improv, but they made it legit for the third movie.
These movies are the kings of beating every single joke to death and I love it. 🤣
Dr. Evils' monologue during group therapy was straight up the funniest and creepiest thing I'd ever seen at that point in my cinema experience. It's pretty commonplace now but back then it was brilliant .
It was a parody of Flemming's original Dr.No monologue, if I remember right.
What’s ridiculous is that Elizabeth Hurley almost still looks the exact same. All 3 movies were fantastic but number 2 is by far my favourite. Fun movies to watch.
Hurley is so gorgeous here.
all 3 are great but 1 and 3 are better imo
There's a lot of references to earlier films in AP. The bullet firing bras for example come from the cult Italian film The 10th Victim.
The main theme for Austin Powers is actually called “Soul Bossa Nova” by Quincy Jones. It’s been around since the early 60’s and is kind of perfect for this movie.
But Canadians (at least old ones like me) know it as the theme for the TV game show "Definition". It's one of those little Canadianisms Meyers puts into all his movies.
@@andrewcharles459 Wait. I don't understand what you mean. Someone wrote that the theme song has been around since the early 60s. How is it a "Canadianism"? Is it particular to Canada? I'm not being sarcastic. I honestly want to understand
@@LA_HA Because everybody of a certain age in Canada recognizes this song not as a Quincy Jones composition (which it is) but as the theme song to a popular game show. Be honest now. You never heard it on the radio. ruclips.net/video/-kKr9E2N854/видео.html
@@andrewcharles459 Thank you for the response and link. I'll ask older family members if they recall it. Should be fun for them. Ha
Just got into your stuff recently and don’t comment often BUT I must say you have a really great calm voice. Like I can legit hear you reading on one of those meditation reads, calming reads or even a sleeping reads. This ends my TED Talk.
There are more than a few references to the weird world of Russ Meyer, notably the actor Charles Napier and the line ‘This Is My Happening And It Freaks Me Out!’ coming from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, which is a weird, weird movie...
if dr evil held the world ransom for 100 billion dollars today, Elon Musk could pay the ransom and still have like 2/3 of his wealth left over.
So many good quotes from the series.
These movies are so good. The sequels are a little formulaic and self-aware, but if you enjoyed this then you’ll only find the next 2 more ridiculous.
I was actually cast as the henchman who gets his head bit off by the shark. Had a costume fitting, signed the paperwork and was informed that it'll shoot in the next 4-7 days. After a week I hadn't heard. Turns out they wanted to extend the fight a bit and shot it with a stuntman instead. They never told me, but I still got paid.
That really sucks, but it's cool you still got paid!
"He's dead? Decapitated by an ill-tempered mutated sea bass?" - "To Smithy!"
Out of curiosity, would you be willing to share what something like that payed?
@hind leg video, thats no way to get aHead in life
@@SPAMDAGGER22 This was a long time ago... I'd guess a coupla hundred bucks, as it was a featured (though non-speaking) role.
YES, so glad to see you react to the classics, I remember watching this on vhs 📼😂
Ooh I hope you see em all
Edit I've seen all 3 more than 23 times and even this cut I didn't stop laughing once start to finish, happy new year, glad you felt the humor here
Thanks for all the postings this week, James... I hope you have an awesome year ahead!
This is my favorite one. It has more heart than the others imo.
Definitely gotta do the whole trilogy, they're just great fun man
Goofy flick. But absolutely hilarious. It's easy to be dismissive of comedy, but it's probably the hardest form of acting to do well.
Exactly, it’s honestly such a good time!
Mike Myers is a comedic genius. He's also a really great writer too.
James, you mentioned that the reanimation process was like "Blade Runner". I would suggest it was a take on "Demolition Man" made a couple of years before this movie but then again, you may have not seen that movie. If you haven't, you ought to...without giving too much away, Sylvester Stallone vs. Wesley Snipes so Rambo vs. Blade...how couldn't it be awesome!?!...😀😃😄😁
It's fascinating to me (39 years old, raised in N Ireland with Bond films on repeat constantly) to see younger folks react to these films without seeing that most everything is a parody of Bond clichés. Like when he says "I love serious spy films, but I miss the ones that show the 'fun' side", I was expecting him to mention Roger Moore Bond films, and he went to Spy Kids as a reference. 😀
omg I think I used to know that word for word as a kid 12:55 😭😭 the fact that my parents let me watch these movies at like the age of 5... wow
My man I’m so happy you’re starting these I really hope you watch the rest of them
3:49 Danny the Street. DC comics. Actually got featured in Doom Patrol TV Series. An entity that appears as a literal street that manipulates the reality inside of it and locally around. It talks via billboards and signs. Very abstract "character".
If you want a lead character whose force of will can warp reality, look no further than Franka Potente in "Run Lola Run!"
Yes! James would love that film.
The second and third ones are just as hilarious. It adds some more Mike Myers characters.
Yeah.. definitely do the other two movies as well.
This really was a "JOY TO WATCH". Loved your commentary and insight into sheer teenage comedy.
I think because I'm a nineties kid, I forget some people know Mike Myers from Cat in the Hat and Shrek hahaha. To me, he's Wayne from Wayne's World and Austin Powers.
So happy you uploaded this now, James. I'm staying in alone this New Year's Eve and love that I now have content to occupy me! Happy New Year!
Wheres the next one 😭 all three films are hilarious
omg dude I love your Fruits Basket hoodie!! Would love you to watch that anime on here as well so we can all cry together 😭
Yo, Happy New Year. Great flick to cap off 2021. Immensely quotable top notch spy send-up.
All 3 if these movies are great man
Gotta check them!
Thank you so much for a great year man. Discovered you, Brandon likes movies and MelVerse all this year. Love yall, I need that vagabond discussion sir but like always, stay safe and so much love man. Thank you
I'm smashed . Happy new year yearrrr when it comes! It's 20:50pm here in England need sleepppp
Mike Myers was huge for a while there. One forgotten gem of his is So I Married An Axe Murderer. He has a very memorable character he plays in that movie, a Scottish father...which feels like a precursor to his Fat Bastard character.
"Heed! Pants! Naow!"
@@toddtangen6750 "He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight on his huge pilla"
"Show the picture of Charlie, when he shit his pants at Niagara Falls!"
I didn't have a lot of VHS movies as a kid but for some reason we had Austin Powers, Happy Gilmore, and The Wedding Singer. All classics
The guy killed by the roller gets me everytime lll
One of greatest parody type movies ever!
ur reactions are one of the few i really look forward to and makes my mood a llil better so keep it up!!
Youre gonna love the next one
To enjoy the AP franchise to the fullest, I recommend Our Man Flint, In Like Flint, the Roger Moore Bond films (especially Moonraker) and Casino Royale (1967).
I would say these are more relevant to Sean Connery's Bond, than Moore's, especially with the parodies of Dr. No, Goldfinger, etc.... and the judo chop. A movie with a good parody at the ridiculousness of the Moonraker idea is Machete Kills.
Fun facts: Dr. Evil was originally going to be played by Jim Carrey. And Random Task is in prison in real life. He actually killed someone after this movie was filmed.
It's my fav joke of the show that because of inflation he thinks a million is a lot. I love the idea of someone holding a ransom for a small amount and them just being like "oh right yeah sure"
I don't know how many of the OG Bond movies you have seen but id recommend checking some out. Makes this movie even funnier.
Ah, back when Mike Myers was telling the jokes instead of being the punchline of jokes about his (lack of) career 🤣
EDIT: I forgot the dude from Buffy (or Mass Effect if you're a gamer) was in this 😁
RIP Betty White. Happy to watch someone having fun while the New Year approaches. So many underappreciated movies from this era are now cult classics.
Well now that you say it, the lens of "a cosmic being who can just warp reality around every step he takes" also 100% works for The Cat in the Hat...
LMFAO. Correct!
@@JamesVSCinema I was surprised that you didn't say anything when he was doing the Seuss-like rhyming during the hot tub scene. Ha.
Btw, since you enjoyed this, you might enjoy Get Smart, a spy spoof tv show created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Don Adams brilliantly plays Maxwell Smart, a bumbling spy for CONTROL with Barbara Feldon as his backup, Agent 99, fighting against enemy spies at KAOS. It's great
I love all Austin Powers movies!
Written and directed by Mike Myers as Austin Powers. International Man of Mystery from the 60's era and gets stuck forward in time to the modern time where he meets Elizabeth Hurley as they team up against the Dr. Evil, also played by Mike Myers
Please watch all 3 movies! If you enjoyed this one, you'll love the other two! They're dumb fun and it's just amazing!
Great reaction man
can we just agree to forget cat in the hat lmao
This is one of those series where the sequel is actually better than the original. Be sure to see the second one.
Nope
@@Mr1888bhoy mini me alone mad it great
it's funny to see which pats of the ling you find strange, which you understand. Meyers worked in UK TV and picked up a lot of Britishisms, which he uses liberally in this film. The word shag was unknown in the pre-Austin Powers US.
I wonder if that does have a name, I see those gags in a lot of absurdist humor or sketch comedy, like the Monty Python stuff, where just a random real moment is used as a subversion of expectations. People slip off chairs, people awkwardly laugh, but you don't expect to see that in a structured film and it throws you for a loop, and it doesn't necessarily need to be slapstick or humors in of itself (but it's a plus)
I feel like Mike Meyers is underrated. The guy is brilliant IMO! So versatile. You should watch Wayne's World 1&2 there both HYSTERICAL! Happy New Year!
Can't wait for you to watch the rest of them. This one sets the tone, but SPY and GOLDMEMBER just take the spot light. Love your reactions Breh.
I kept hearing shrek and the cat in the hat lmao
I hope you enjoy the movies enough to watch all 3
If the FBI or CIA had operations like this? I would wonder why Powers wasn't working for the UK's MI5, MI6 or SIS....Still love ya bro! Happy New Year from Scotland!
One of those few movie series where the sequels are on par and sometimes exceed the original.
Yes Deadpool did reference the steam roller scene, only with him it was a zamboni lol
Great reaction bro! Here are some good suggestions for this new year: Groundhog Day (1993), Grumpy Old Men (1993), Munich (2005), Grumpy Old Men 2 (1995), and The Good Son (1993).
Everybody laughs at the over the top sex jokes in this movie but can we take a second to remember Pussy Galore? She was quite the cunning linguist😉...
I like Plenty O'Toole myself. Even she can't believe that's her name. Her face when she has to say it is my favorite.
man, i use to have massive crush on Elizabeth Hurley (stop 11,00)........and still is appearently....... :D just absolutly gorgeous
Little scared this year's about to end! I was happy to support you the whole way through.
My man! Thank you and let’s keep rocking into the new one together. We got this
can t wait for the others 2 man
Austin would seduce Thanos and we know it. These movies are my childhood; in retrospect, I proooobably shouldn’t have watched this at such an early age. But I love them all the same 😅
If you liked Leslie Nielsen in Airplane and The Naked Gun he also did a spy movie spoof. It’s called Spy Hard if you want to give it a watch. 👍🏻
Wait till you see Mike Myers’ performance in Inglorious Basterds…
If you can figure out which character he plays. Kinda hard to do honestly.
happy new year broski
one of the few movie series that get better as they go 2 and 3 are even better! and that bladerunner scene is almost a shot for shot copy of demolition man with wesley snipes and sly stalone you would like alot as well!
Look up the Asian dude who played Random Task, he had a DARK history before this movie.
James bro, it's all about his mojo. 😂
You ned to watch the Flint movies with James Coburn; the 70's version (a little more serious) of this series.
Dude love your reactions wether serious or fun movie. Want a movie that covers both? Demolition Man is beyond excellent on every level from humor to social commentary.
as with other youtubers, you don't catch half the satire without having seen the James Bond franchise
This movie is so funny and self aware. So good 😂
Drinking game - drink every time he says “cosmic” being / entity
Yes yes yes yes!
15:50 - Poor Smitty. He had a baby on the way
11:45 "if there was one other cat" he just admitted hes a cat
Austin Powers is a force user and he refers to his midichlorians as his mojo.
New viewer to the channel, hope to see reactions to the next two movies eventually.
