I like the out take where the cameraman is complaining about the cameras being too low, and all he can see are butts, Verne chimes in “Now you know how I feel…”
I directed funerals in LA for ten years; one was for a Hollywood stuntman (forgot his name) and Vern Troyer showed up. He left early, drove off in his SUV. Clearly customized to accommodate. Nice guy, rough ending.
30:48 - The best part of this joke is that they just spent 50 seconds explaining why they couldn't license Godzilla, and then they have a clear image of what is unequivocally a Pokémon character.
That "English English" scene was real Cockney rhyming slang, there are people here who do talk like that, i love seeing foreigners looking confused trying to figure out if they're actually saying something for real
haha Im beginning to think she needs glasses lol, I cant wait to see her watch CARY Grant in some 50's HItchcock AND SAY HE looks so handsome "where did i see him before? lol
I believe they mention in the commentary track that they made an initial list of which actors they wanted the most for the intro, and ALL of them said yes.
Mike Myers was at his absolute peak at this point. It was astonish how quickly his stardom left him him after his his next two live action starring roles, Cat in the Hat and one of the most racially offensive and unfunny films of the 21st century, The Love Guru. Afterward, his ony major starring role was Shrek.
@@vapoet yeah i think his ego kind of did him in after all the success plus after this movie is when the internet really started to change humor and references and the older comedy did not work as well.
The “I thought I smelled Cabbage” was a callback to a joke from the first movie. Austin said only two things scare him, Nuclear War and “Carnies” “Circus folk, they smell like Cabbage, small hands”.
@@CrownlessKing88 i literally love this joke so much purely because i thought it was just supposed to be a joke that meant nothing, like he could have said anything but decided just to say cabbage of all things. i still think that makes it funnier, but its cool to see it did mean something.
I thought it was a reference to an unfortunate side effect of purported cloning, that clones smell like cabbage. Remember Hillary R C's guards and inner circle saying she stank like cabbage? At the same time when those weird "malfunctions" were happening.
Quincy Jones is a legendary record producer, songwriter, arranger and composer, writing numerous film scores. He has won 28 Grammys among 80 nominations and his career has spanned over 70 years in the business. He's worked with many greats in the business from Lionel Hampton to Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson.
Please do this movie! 🙏 It's one of my favorite 'background' movies because it's always fun, the music is great & I know it so well I don't have to pay attention. I've even watched it with the director's commentary. ❤
My brother and I DIED laughing in the theater! We still do the Fat Bastard quote, "May-be." The prison rap scene was exactly like how rap music videos were at that time - I never thought about how this generation wouldn't instantly recognize it but that make sense! #3 is by far my favorite but, without the first one and all the callbacks, Goldmember wouldn't have been as funny. "Sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads."
Yes, that is a young Michael Caine, he's been in movies for decades! We need to get you to watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, it's him and Steve Martin as con artists, you'll love it.
Quincy Jones is a music producer and composer. The Austin Powers opening credit theme song is actually a song of his called "Soul Bossa Nova" which has actualy been around long before Austin Powers (since 1962), he also produced the albums Thriller and Bad from Michael Jackson, and I don't think I need to tell you how big of a deal those albums were! Also the guy from The Birdcage and the voice of Timon is Nathan Lane
Regarding Nathan Lane (who portrayed "Foxxy's Distraction") - he even appeared as the Waponi Advance Man Baw in Joe vs. The Volcano / Ernie Smuntz in Mouse Hunt / voiced Preed in Titan AE / Max Bialystock in The Producers (the original stage play and the 2005 Universal film) / Nathan Levy the Driven in Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!
28 Grammy Awards. 40 major motion picture scores. Quincy Jones's 1962 tune "Soul Bossa Nova", which originated on the Big Band Bossa Nova album, was used as the theme for the 1997 spy comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Also, Jones produced the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Quincy Jones produced the Michael Jackson album, Thriller, which sold 65 million copies and became the highest-selling album of all time. An amazing person, he survived two brain surgeries which saved his life in the 1970s and he's still kicking at 91. Probably the most accomplished musical creator of the second half of the 20th century.
The fact the you and other generations after you don't know the man that produced legends like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, Dianna Ross, etc. is a shame. It shows that some of y'all parents ain't raised y'all right.
Apart from Soul Bossa Nova, also composed to the sound track to Michael Cain's movie The Italian Job with its wonderful lead track "On Days Like These"
@@terrellkirkman2078I totally agree with you, that's just really fucked up!!!!!! I was born in 72 & it seems like I have an absolute treasure trove of knowledge of history & the entertainment world compared to say people that were born just 10 years after me & God forbid even later than that, it's like they know absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!! It's like they weren't even born on the same planet!!! Like with some of these reactors they'll watch a great film & know absolutely nothing about any of the references in it or any of the actors!!! I watched one do True Romance & Gary Oldman called Christian Slater Charles Bronson & the reactor had no idea who that was & the woman was 40 years old!!! I watched another one where they mentioned Lee Marvin who was another WWII hero like Bronson & they didn't know who he was, I mean that's just a fucking crime!!!!!!! Yeah to not know who Quincy Jones is is pretty fucked up, & Ashleigh even worked at a radio station!!!!
During the scene with mini me and the shadow gag during the physical, my dad laughed so hard he started furiously coughing and made me turn it off. This is the only time I've ever see that happen 😂
What's funny is I just got done watching your Spy Who Shagged Me reaction about ten minutes ago, thinking "she's really gonna have fun with Goldmember". And here we are.
You probably didn't recognise him because he's grown up, but the 'Mole' agent was Fred Savage (Kevin) from the coming-of-age sitcom "The Wonder Years" and the kid throughout "The Princess Bride"
As soon as someone tries out the first flick you just KNOW we have to stick around for the expected glee and enthusiasm that comes from seeing someone watch the first few minutes of the third outing 😂😂😂
That was actress Jeannette Charles, who had made a career of portraying Queen Elizabeth II for decades. She played the Queen in National Lampoon's European Vacation and The Naked Gun, and she had even appeared as the Queen once on SNL in 1977 when Eric Idle hosted. She retired in 2014 and sadly passed away only just last month at the age of 96.
"Thought I smelled cabbage" is one of the greatest callback jokes ever. In the first movie Austin said he doesn't like carnies, carnival folk because they have small hands and smell like cabbage. To have his dad say it 2 movies later was just a great payoff.
@@tadcooper9733no.. BUT it's fun to watch the story framing device that is in honor of "The Princess Bride".. but they water down the violence.. It's more just a fun curiosity and more "family friendly" (it's cut to a pg-13).
My personal favorite cameo in all 3 Austin Powers movies is the one of Burt Bacharach. This man was such a blessing for Music and wrote so many timeless classics. It's such an amazing Tribute to him that he was in all 3 movies. :)
Your reaction alone to the opening "film" was already had me laughing with you 😂😂😂 Did you notice that in the hotel mini fridge when Austin and Mini Me fight they had Pepsi Twist? Which is a callback to when Austin Powers and Britney Spears did a commercial for Pepsi Twist to promote the film and drink.
"Run like it is Godzilla" "Though it isn't..." I think my favourite part in this movie is the dig at Toho and their reputation for being extremely litigious about the Godzilla copyright. Especially as they ramp up taking the p*ss by showing Charmander & Pikachu. They also have a zillion famous brand names in the background - motorola, ducati, united airlines, T-mobile, heineken, casio, radisson hotels, fujicolor film, bacardi, pepsi, mini cooper cars, MTV, starbucks - it looks like an employee in a starbucks apron drops two coffees behind them, etc...
Ashleigh, you're WONDERFUL! I was with you watching the whole trio of these films, and I have never been in better company, nor more attractive company either. You're a joy to the planet, sweetie, and I love you to tiny pieces! I wish you rainbows.
Fun personal fact, this movie was released in theatres the actual day I was born so the fact this review released the midnight after my birthday (Australian timezone) makes the timing even more special so thanks for the late birthday present Ashleigh!😄
I saw this movie in theater with my best friend when we were 13 and there were multiple times where I was so close to peeing myself from laughing so hard. From beginning to end the entire theater was howling with laughter. It's such a fond memory of mine. It's by far my favorite movie in the trilogy. The jokes and cameos are just top notch.
4:42 Oh Sweetie..Quincy Jones...Legendary Record Producer for many classics such as Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad for Michael Jackson and MANY more people !!!
So many references to blaxpoltation cinema. Austin dress much like the main character in "Willie Dynamite" which and Foxy Cleopatra is named from the movies "Foxy Brown" and "Cleopatra Jones".
One of my coworkers said that Beyonce was a terrible actress because she was so ridiculous in this movie, I tried to explain that she was SUPPOSED to be over the top, but since she'd never heard of the Blacksploitation genre it went over her head. If you REALLY want to see Beyonce seriously act, watch Obsessed
24:57 - "I love the cameos in this movie, thus far." - That bald military guy, right before you said that, who the general called "Johnson", is Clint Howard, brother of actor and director Ron Howard. As I recall, he made an appearance in all three films.
They didn't get Queen Elizabeth to actually play the queen, which I guess is fair enough. But they did get Jeanette Charles, who also played Queen Elizabeth in The Naked Gun and National Lampoons European Vacation. In fact, 34 out of her 41 roles listed on IMDB are Queen Elizabeth. She passed away on June 2nd this year, aged 96.
Britney was my favorite appearance. Dont care what anyone says, she’s still a treasure. And she should have done more movies. Even if just as an extra. Thoughts with her. And Ashley… glad you’re enjoying the third movie. The jokes are the same or similar. But always delivered as if new. And still hold a chuckle in my heart hehe
11:23 Young Austin Powers was played by Aaron Himelstein: the same guy that played the SHIELD agent in Winter Soldier who bravely refused Rumlow's order to launch the helicarriers.
Quincy Jones is a legend, one of the most famous record producers....like Michael Jackson's albums (Thriller, Bad, Off the Wall), co-wrote "We Are the World" with him & produced it. Started out as a composer writing the scores for "Cactus Flower" "In Cold Blood" "In the Heat of the Night" to name a few as well as writing tv themes (Ironside, Sanford & Son, Banecek, etc). Arranged for Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald among others. Won 28 Grammy Awards as well as the Grammy Legend Award. I left out a ton of stuff. That's who Quincy is.
This movie has sooooo many quoteable lines that have lived with me throughout my childhood. My friends and i will do the shmoke and a pancake scene at least once a year just randomly without prompting
Gold member is the BEST of all three and my family’s favorite. We quoted this film my whole life. A testament to the fact that you can show kids a saucy comedy and they have no freaking clue what’s actually happening 😂
Being a Prop Master/Set Decorator, I always find myself looking at the background sets to see what Easter Eggs have been put in, I usually have to watch a movie at least three times, One for the plot, one for the props and one for the set decorations. Love the background signage in the Sick Bay like the sign that says Hang In There with a picture of someone hanging by his wrists! Or the one that says Lift with your knees not your back with a picture of two guys carrying the body of a third one.
I absolutely LOVE all 3 of these movies. I saw them all in the theater, and I re-watch them regularly. However, watching Ashleigh react to this one was almost more funny than the movie itself 😂😂😂
Myers wanted Goldmember to come from a country that you never thought an evil mastermind would be from. He originally wanted to have Goldmember be Canadian but then the South Park movie came out with Canada fighting the US so he changed Goldmember to be Dutch
Thanks, Ashleigh! 🪙 Yes, that was really a young Michael Caine. That clip isn't from it, but he looked like that when he was in HURRY SUNDOWN (1967), in which my mother had a cameo... in the courtroom scene.
Ah, ok. I knew it was before she became super-famous herself. Mike Meyers has said that she was great to work with. He said that she asked him who he was listening to, and he told her "Led Zeppelin", and the next week she had her music player loaded with some Led Zeppelin and was checking it out.
My favorite thing about that opening bit is the most-obscure thing about it. George Clinton perfectly aped the style of John Barry's scores for the Connery Bond films everywhere else in this trilogy, _except_ in the opening bit with Tom Cruise here. There, he switched to a pitch-perfect imitation of David Arnold's scores for the Pierce Brosnan Bond films (IE, the “current” Bond films when “Goldmember” came out). It's subtle-as-hell, and absolutely perfect, and I adore it.
When I saw that you were getting to Goldmember, I knew your reaction to the opening cameos would be legendary, and it was. Such a great reaction. Thank you!
Great to see this so soon. But I hope that Ashleigh has not given up on the James Bond movies. There is a rumor that she has...but that would be terrible because the next one she would watch is The Spy Who Loved Me...which is considered by many people to be the best of all the Bond movies...but is absolutely the best one that Roger Moore starred in. 👍
37:07 +++ .... Me, laughing to tears and not able to breath. Meanwhile, Ashleigh is just blank faced. Guess we have different taste in humor. That was gut busting gold! lol
Fook Yu is played by Carrie Ann Inaba. She has been one of the judges on "Dancing With the Stars" for many years. She has had a long and colorful career; I love her.
No, look at what happened with Bill & Ted 3 and Dumb & Dumber 2. I'm already dreading Beetlejuice 2, I say leave Austin Powers as is, each film was better than the last and it went out on a massive high. Also the Pentaverati got panned by critics so Mike has likely lost his touch/mojo.
"He's got the Midas Touch♪ But he touched it to much!♪ He's Goldmember!" By far my favorite of the trilogy...it's just non stop joke after joke, it just doesn't let off even for a minute
22:58 I was the only one who laughed so loud in the theater at that thud... I think I was the only one who heard it. After I got my laughing under control; I heard someone say "why was that so funny"?
Caine was actually the second inspiration behind Connery for Austin Powers with his character Harry Palmer in the film The Ipcress File and it's four sequels which is why he was brought on to portray Nigel. Connery was offered the role as well but declined and Honor Blackman who played Pussy Galore was offered to play Austin’s mother Mrs. Powers. The flashback scene with the young Caine was from the movie Hurry Sundown which is not a Harry Palmer film but still cool as a meta flashback.
Here are the films featuring Harry Palmer: The Ipcress File (1965) - Palmer investigates the disappearances of several British scientists, dealing with brainwashing and complex conspiracies. Funeral in Berlin (1966) - Palmer is sent to Berlin to arrange the defection of a Soviet officer. Billion Dollar Brain (1967) - Palmer tackles a plot involving a renegade intelligence agent and a computer that is controlling an anti-Communist uprising. Bullet to Beijing (1995) - After the Cold War, Palmer is reactivated for a mission involving stolen bio-chemical weapons. Midnight in Saint Petersburg (1996) - Palmer, now a private investigator, tries to stop a nuclear device from being smuggled into the wrong hands. I've seen all of them. Bullet to Beijing is probably my fav.
It is a rare day that a third movie in a series blows the first two together out of the water completely but this one does it! And you keep hoping for the third nipple, I hope you finally caught on about the third testicle of Dr Evil. 👍🏻
Seing your reactions to all the cameos in the beginning was so fun. Your enthusiasm actually made me teary-eyed. I dont know why. But it was so fun to see.
It's hard to believe this movie is 22 years old. I saw it in theaters with my best friend and my mom. My favourite of the trilogy. Hoping one day Mike makes one more.
Beyoncé was in the Steve Martin version of The Pink Panther. And speaking of Steve Martin movies, I highly recommend Bowfinger, probably one of the most underrated comedies of all time. It co-stars Eddie Murphy and Heather Graham.
I was on a plane flying to Australia when this came out and was showing in flight. I was at the scene where FB was taking a d@mp and I was laughing out loud, though trying to hold it in and when he looked into the bowl and said "I didn't have any corn." Literally within a matter of seconds, the stewardess served me my meal and there was a corn in it. I LOST IT! I was laughing so loud everyone turned to look. I was in tears and had to jump out of my seat and run to the bathroom and laugh so loud I could not control myself. God this movie is funny.🤣🤣🤣
I've watched the opening scene of your reaction about 5 times now, and it is THE BEST opening film reaction i've seen from you, or maybe anyone at the surprise cameos. You were so happy and excited not knowing who the full cast was. Saw all three of these in the theater.
Love it, Love it Love it. So glad we have the whole trilogy now. Also great to hear this trilogy is bringing in new viewers (except the Dutch of course.) If you are new to Ashleigh's channel take at look at the playlists and check out some other reactions. I discovered her channel last year and she has become one of my favourite reactors!
RIP to Verne Troyer. The Mini-Me fight scenes are so hilarious! Him running around in the bag had me cackling. "Eeeeeeeee!!!"
Loved the guy he had so much fun with what little time he had and made all our lives just a little better.
I like the out take where the cameraman is complaining about the cameras being too low, and all he can see are butts, Verne chimes in “Now you know how I feel…”
When he hits the pole when he flyys out the shoute 😂
I forgot he took the forever nap

41:23 was good timing, too.
That "English English" scene was real Cockney rhyming slang, there are people here who do talk like that, i love seeing foreigners looking confused trying to figure out if they're actually saying something for real

I love that this movie could pull almost any name they wanted. This was a 2002 titan for name dropping.
Seriously, the intro for this movie is one of the greatest all-time. They absolutely sent it and it worked 100000000%!
She should react to the Epic Rap Battle of History between Austin Powers and James Bond.
The intro to Goldmember is straight out of Mission Impossible 2.
I did NOT see your comment before starting mine with "Seriously..." LOL 😂
I believe they mention in the commentary track that they made an initial list of which actors they wanted the most for the intro, and ALL of them said yes.
Quincy Jones is a famous re order producer he produced the likes of Sinatra and produced this little LP called Thriller. By guess who?
You don’t recognize “the Mole??” That’s the grandson from the Princess Bride, girl! Fred Savage! 😂❤
Moreso from a legendary tv series The wonder years !
The ridiculous amounts of cameos in this movie shows how huge Austin Powers was by this point.

But not as big as mini me...thank you very much!
It's the only thing that left a sour taste in my mouth. I don't mind celebrity cameos but this was like he was trying to set a record or something.

Foxxy ducking and letting Mini-Me hit the wall instead of catching him cracks me up.
I am still waiting for them to finally continue the series with Seth Green as the villain. I need it.
He's already said he won't do it because Verne Troyer's no longer with us.
I think you would love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine and Steve Martin. It is one of my favorite comedies of all time.

YESSS This has been a great stroll down memory lane. The guy with the mole is the little kid from The Princess Bride!
People who are intolerance of other people's cultures.... and the Dutch 😂
🤯 Holy crap! I DID NOT know that! 😱 Good catch, and thanks!!!
And from the Deadpool 2 "family-friendly" remake.
@@scotthewitt258 Never watched the family friendly version. Is it different enough to warrant a watch?
@@tadcooper9733no.. BUT it's fun to watch the story framing device that is in honor of "The Princess Bride".. but they water down the violence.. It's more just a fun curiosity and more "family friendly" (it's cut to a pg-13).
My personal favorite cameo in all 3 Austin Powers movies is the one of Burt Bacharach. This man was such a blessing for Music and wrote so many timeless classics. It's such an amazing Tribute to him that he was in all 3 movies. :)
Your reaction alone to the opening "film" was already had me laughing with you 😂😂😂
Did you notice that in the hotel mini fridge when Austin and Mini Me fight they had Pepsi Twist? Which is a callback to when Austin Powers and Britney Spears did a commercial for Pepsi Twist to promote the film and drink.
I've been looking forward to her reaction to the intro ever since she watched the first movie.😂
Austin and Nigel's pronunciation of "I thank you!" is a direct impersonation of the late British comedian Arthur Askey's catchphrase - "Ay thang yow!"
David Tennant 's 10th Doctor does it too!
"Run like it is Godzilla" "Though it isn't..."
I think my favourite part in this movie is the dig at Toho and their reputation for being extremely litigious about the Godzilla copyright. Especially as they ramp up taking the p*ss by showing Charmander & Pikachu. They also have a zillion famous brand names in the background - motorola, ducati, united airlines, T-mobile, heineken, casio, radisson hotels, fujicolor film, bacardi, pepsi, mini cooper cars, MTV, starbucks - it looks like an employee in a starbucks apron drops two coffees behind them, etc...
“Though it isn’t” is said by Hiro from Heroes.
Ashleigh, you're WONDERFUL!
I was with you watching the whole trio of these films, and I have never been in better company, nor more attractive company either.
You're a joy to the planet, sweetie, and I love you to tiny pieces!
I wish you rainbows.
Fun personal fact, this movie was released in theatres the actual day I was born so the fact this review released the midnight after my birthday (Australian timezone) makes the timing even more special so thanks for the late birthday present Ashleigh!😄
I saw this movie in theater with my best friend when we were 13 and there were multiple times where I was so close to peeing myself from laughing so hard. From beginning to end the entire theater was howling with laughter. It's such a fond memory of mine. It's by far my favorite movie in the trilogy. The jokes and cameos are just top notch.
Ashley's hair looking EXTRA fire today! 🔥
4:42 Oh Sweetie..Quincy Jones...Legendary Record Producer for many classics such as Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad for Michael Jackson and MANY more people !!!
So many references to blaxpoltation cinema. Austin dress much like the main character in "Willie Dynamite" which and Foxy Cleopatra is named from the movies "Foxy Brown" and "Cleopatra Jones".
One of my coworkers said that Beyonce was a terrible actress because she was so ridiculous in this movie, I tried to explain that she was SUPPOSED to be over the top, but since she'd never heard of the Blacksploitation genre it went over her head.
If you REALLY want to see Beyonce seriously act, watch Obsessed
24:57 - "I love the cameos in this movie, thus far." - That bald military guy, right before you said that, who the general called "Johnson", is Clint Howard, brother of actor and director Ron Howard. As I recall, he made an appearance in all three films.
A Kevin Spacey cameo and a Jared from Subway reference in the same movie with a character named Mini Me. I have no punchline for that.
And the e Diddy tattoo
They didn't get Queen Elizabeth to actually play the queen, which I guess is fair enough. But they did get Jeanette Charles, who also played Queen Elizabeth in The Naked Gun and National Lampoons European Vacation. In fact, 34 out of her 41 roles listed on IMDB are Queen Elizabeth. She passed away on June 2nd this year, aged 96.
The resemblance was uncanny.
Britney was my favorite appearance. Dont care what anyone says, she’s still a treasure. And she should have done more movies. Even if just as an extra. Thoughts with her. And Ashley… glad you’re enjoying the third movie. The jokes are the same or similar. But always delivered as if new. And still hold a chuckle in my heart hehe
You spotted and recognized Charmander, you are just a delight, good reaction!
11:23 Young Austin Powers was played by Aaron Himelstein: the same guy that played the SHIELD agent in Winter Soldier who bravely refused Rumlow's order to launch the helicarriers.
He stars in a House MD episode too, he's fantastic
Didn't know this. Thanx!
Quincy Jones is a legend, one of the most famous record producers....like Michael Jackson's albums (Thriller, Bad, Off the Wall), co-wrote "We Are the World" with him & produced it. Started out as a composer writing the scores for "Cactus Flower" "In Cold Blood" "In the Heat of the Night" to name a few as well as writing tv themes (Ironside, Sanford & Son, Banecek, etc). Arranged for Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald among others. Won 28 Grammy Awards as well as the Grammy Legend Award. I left out a ton of stuff. That's who Quincy is.
“Yeah baby!” Another hilarious video from Ashleigh! 😊
Shagadelic!
This movie has sooooo many quoteable lines that have lived with me throughout my childhood. My friends and i will do the shmoke and a pancake scene at least once a year just randomly without prompting
Smoke and a pancake is a fav quote of mine, that I will just interject at the oddest moments😅🤣 in day to day interactions
The intro to the 3rd movie is one of the best things ever. Danny DeVito playing minnime is so freaking funny.
" AND THE DUTCH! " :)
Love Michael Caines delivery. Makes it epic
As a Dutch person, I agree with his sentiment completely.
@@dv7533 Alles wordt getolereerd en genegeerd...
I say this WAY too often 😂
@@dv7533as a fellow Dutch person I second this. 😂
Gold member is the BEST of all three and my family’s favorite. We quoted this film my whole life. A testament to the fact that you can show kids a saucy comedy and they have no freaking clue what’s actually happening 😂
@13:35 Ashleigh’s so excited and she just can’t hide it. 😁
Ashleigh's head explosion 🤯 for the opening credits had me rollong !
Definitely needed the laughs this morning, thank you Ashleigh!
Being a Prop Master/Set Decorator, I always find myself looking at the background sets to see what Easter Eggs have been put in, I usually have to watch a movie at least three times, One for the plot, one for the props and one for the set decorations. Love the background signage in the Sick Bay like the sign that says Hang In There with a picture of someone hanging by his wrists! Or the one that says Lift with your knees not your back with a picture of two guys carrying the body of a third one.
The Dr. Evil submarine is a reference to The Penguin’s submarine in the 1966 Batman movie.
Seriously...some of the best commentary in the game! Don't be afraid to react on the devil's cabbage! I'm watching on the devil's cabbage! 😂
Nathan Lane is who you're thinking of, Ashleigh. And he was wonderful in this movie. :)
I absolutely LOVE all 3 of these movies. I saw them all in the theater, and I re-watch them regularly. However, watching Ashleigh react to this one was almost more funny than the movie itself 😂😂😂
Myers wanted Goldmember to come from a country that you never thought an evil mastermind would be from. He originally wanted to have Goldmember be Canadian but then the South Park movie came out with Canada fighting the US so he changed Goldmember to be Dutch
Thanks. I was 'confused' about why Mr. Caine kept 'picking' on the Dutch. Now, I know. Thanks, again!
Damnit... blame Canada!!! x3
Ashleigh you sooooooo need to watch “The Burbs”. It’s from the late 80’s and riiiiiight up your alley😂. Funny shiiiit
Thanks, Ashleigh! 🪙 Yes, that was really a young Michael Caine. That clip isn't from it, but he looked like that when he was in HURRY SUNDOWN (1967), in which my mother had a cameo... in the courtroom scene.
Actually, that _was_ from Hurry Sundown... at least, that's where they lifted the clip of Michael Caine. They might have transposed the background?
@@SilentSooYun Interesting, I didn't remember that. I suppose I only ever saw the whole movie once or twice. I usually just watch my mother's scene! 😆
Loved the ever mountain joy and glee that the cameos brought! I had forgotten how many were in it too!
Thing to know is that Beyonce went solo in 2003 from Destiny's Child. This movie was 2002 so she was mostly known as a member of DC.
Ah, ok. I knew it was before she became super-famous herself.
Mike Meyers has said that she was great to work with. He said that she asked him who he was listening to, and he told her "Led Zeppelin", and the next week she had her music player loaded with some Led Zeppelin and was checking it out.
Ashley, please keep singing in these reactions. BEAUTIFUL voice!!! ❤
My favorite thing about that opening bit is the most-obscure thing about it. George Clinton perfectly aped the style of John Barry's scores for the Connery Bond films everywhere else in this trilogy, _except_ in the opening bit with Tom Cruise here. There, he switched to a pitch-perfect imitation of David Arnold's scores for the Pierce Brosnan Bond films (IE, the “current” Bond films when “Goldmember” came out). It's subtle-as-hell, and absolutely perfect, and I adore it.
When I saw that you were getting to Goldmember, I knew your reaction to the opening cameos would be legendary, and it was. Such a great reaction. Thank you!
Great to see this so soon. But I hope that Ashleigh has not given up on the James Bond movies. There is a rumor that she has...but that would be terrible because the next one she would watch is The Spy Who Loved Me...which is considered by many people to be the best of all the Bond movies...but is absolutely the best one that Roger Moore starred in. 👍
37:07 +++ .... Me, laughing to tears and not able to breath. Meanwhile, Ashleigh is just blank faced. Guess we have different taste in humor. That was gut busting gold! lol
Magic, wasn't expecting this out so fast after TSWSM.
Wow! That didn’t take long. Way to go girl. I’ve been waiting for this after the first two. You will not be disappointed
My favorite one but many people hate on this one its unfair also PLEASE WATCH MORE JAMES BOND! ❤❤
i like all th austin powers movies 2 is my least favoritfe this 1 and 3 arew better i don't know why the 3rd one gets much hate either
@@jamesbond99 yeh, 2 was my least fav too
Agreed
Fook Yu is played by Carrie Ann Inaba. She has been one of the judges on "Dancing With the Stars" for many years. She has had a long and colorful career; I love her.
Goldmember is ICONIC. I’d love for Mike to give us one more Austin Powers installment!
If you look at recent hotos, you'd know that can't be done. He's's a gray haired old man these days.
@@vapoet Wigs are a thing!
I’m afraid it would be too much like The Love Guru.
No, look at what happened with Bill & Ted 3 and Dumb & Dumber 2. I'm already dreading Beetlejuice 2, I say leave Austin Powers as is, each film was better than the last and it went out on a massive high.
Also the Pentaverati got panned by critics so Mike has likely lost his touch/mojo.
Isn't Austin Powers 4 already confirmed?
"He's got the Midas Touch♪ But he touched it to much!♪ He's Goldmember!"
By far my favorite of the trilogy...it's just non stop joke after joke, it just doesn't let off even for a minute
22:58 I was the only one who laughed so loud in the theater at that thud... I think I was the only one who heard it. After I got my laughing under control; I heard someone say "why was that so funny"?
Caine was actually the second inspiration behind Connery for Austin Powers with his character Harry Palmer in the film The Ipcress File and it's four sequels which is why he was brought on to portray Nigel. Connery was offered the role as well but declined and Honor Blackman who played Pussy Galore was offered to play Austin’s mother Mrs. Powers. The flashback scene with the young Caine was from the movie Hurry Sundown which is not a Harry Palmer film but still cool as a meta flashback.
Here are the films featuring Harry Palmer:
The Ipcress File (1965) - Palmer investigates the disappearances of several British scientists, dealing with brainwashing and complex conspiracies.
Funeral in Berlin (1966) - Palmer is sent to Berlin to arrange the defection of a Soviet officer.
Billion Dollar Brain (1967) - Palmer tackles a plot involving a renegade intelligence agent and a computer that is controlling an anti-Communist uprising.
Bullet to Beijing (1995) - After the Cold War, Palmer is reactivated for a mission involving stolen bio-chemical weapons.
Midnight in Saint Petersburg (1996) - Palmer, now a private investigator, tries to stop a nuclear device from being smuggled into the wrong hands.
I've seen all of them. Bullet to Beijing is probably my fav.
It is a rare day that a third movie in a series blows the first two together out of the water completely but this one does it!
And you keep hoping for the third nipple, I hope you finally caught on about the third testicle of Dr Evil. 👍🏻
Seing your reactions to all the cameos in the beginning was so fun. Your enthusiasm actually made me teary-eyed. I dont know why. But it was so fun to see.
It's hard to believe this movie is 22 years old. I saw it in theaters with my best friend and my mom. My favourite of the trilogy. Hoping one day Mike makes one more.
I remember sitting in the theater with my best friend, too. The whole audience burst into applause with the Tom Cruise reveal, it was awesome!
Beyoncé was in the Steve Martin version of The Pink Panther.
And speaking of Steve Martin movies, I highly recommend Bowfinger, probably one of the most underrated comedies of all time. It co-stars Eddie Murphy and Heather Graham.
I was on a plane flying to Australia when this came out and was showing in flight. I was at the scene where FB was taking a d@mp and I was laughing out loud, though trying to hold it in and when he looked into the bowl and said "I didn't have any corn." Literally within a matter of seconds, the stewardess served me my meal and there was a corn in it. I LOST IT! I was laughing so loud everyone turned to look. I was in tears and had to jump out of my seat and run to the bathroom and laugh so loud I could not control myself. God this movie is funny.🤣🤣🤣
I've watched the opening scene of your reaction about 5 times now, and it is THE BEST opening film reaction i've seen from you, or maybe anyone at the surprise cameos. You were so happy and excited not knowing who the full cast was. Saw all three of these in the theater.
The mole is Ben Savage of Wonder Years, Princess Bride,Little Monsters fame
Love it, Love it Love it. So glad we have the whole trilogy now. Also great to hear this trilogy is bringing in new viewers (except the Dutch of course.) If you are new to Ashleigh's channel take at look at the playlists and check out some other reactions. I discovered her channel last year and she has become one of my favourite reactors!
The prison outfits were a nod to "Laverne & Shirley", which was also referenced in "Wayne's World".
Told you it'd be amazing elevated. This really is like a greatest hits compilation of jokes from the first two. Was great fun watching you react!
