"So I Married an Axe Murderer" is still an overlooked underrated, hilarious and fun comedy movie with Mike Myers that is just funny & charming as Austin Powers & Wayne's World
It's a pity that "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Love Guru" wrecked most of his career. He brought a sense of zany charm and humour to most of his roles.
I watched Austin Powers so much as a child, and I enjoyed it every time without even knowing it was a spoof of James Bond movies (which I didn't see any of until during college). I actually have a hard time watching James Bond movies, because Austin Powers seems so much better to me. I love it even more now that I know it was a tribute to his dad.
I know!! I watched it so much as a kid too!! Plus my daddy could say yeah baby just like Austin Powers!! Omg I loved it!! But sadly he’s not here anymore so I can’t get him to go yeah baby!! anymore.
@@zaicol850 I'm not 100% on the details, but I think there was some conflict between Jack Black and one of his bandmates, who was in favour of Donald Trump. I only hope it doesn't result in the world hating Jack Black since he's a great actor, and it would be unfair to go from loving to hating him in such a short space of time.
@@deadeyedmillennialmedia I'm not denying that, he was huge. But when you treat everyone around like they're less, and put yourself on a pedestal, people won't care how good your comedy is...
2:32 Funny you mention Jim Carrey, because originallly, Mike Myers actually wanted him to play Dr. Evil; however, Carrey was unable to because he was recording _Liar Liar_ at the time.
I remember like it was yesterday when the first Austin Powers released I was in high school and everyone in my school was quoting it, it became an everyday quotable movie in which we could use in and out of school to the point the teachers and parents got sick of it, it still very quotable and I think it's one of the funniest franchises ever with great nods to the older Bond films.
I have to admit, after rewatching Austin Powers a few weeks back most of Austin's joke didn't land for me as they did 20 years ago. But Dr.Evil is just "chef's kiss". As perfect and genius as the day he was written.
If Austin Powers was made today, he would have been frozen in 1993. We're almost as far away from the time of the release of the movie as the character is from his time.
This is similar to GTA Vice City, a video game which took place in 1986 but was released in 2002, a 16 year time gap. Whereas 2002 to 2023 is a 21 year time gap. Also reminds me of Garfield Gets a Life, released in 1991 which showed Jon doing disco moves but everyone gets mad at him, and he complains how within just 14 years disco was phased out but now we're decades past that.
Mike Myers creates his own characters from within. That's why. Can you imagine another Wayne Cambell? No, because there isn't one. It isn't James Bond.
Me and my father love the Austin Powers movies, I never knew they were a tribute to Eric Myers, but it makes sense looking back at them because they were the movies that it felt like we were more together watching them then other movies.
Couldn't have been DVDs. VHS was still big in '97 and '98. DVDs only came out in the US in 97. DVD sales didn't overtake VHS until 2001. That's the overall market, I couldn't find data specifically for Austin Powers' home video sales.
The Austin Powers movies are easily my favorite comedy movies ever. I remember when the bluray copies I ordered got delivered they had an odd perfume smell on them that made me think that's what Austin would smell like LOL. My guess it was really just from the delivery driver...
I think so... How do you watch the movies and not realize they're the same person? They do nothing to hide it besides the actor wearing a skull cap as Dr. Evil.
Freaks me out that there's been nearly the same amount of time since the first Austin Powers movie to now as there had been from 1967 until it came out.
Hard to convey how popular Austin Powers was in my age group at the time. My entire school quoted lines.. to the point we still say some of it without even knowing where it came from...
My took my mom to go see this in theaters. They walked out. He later bought a copy of the VHS that i still have, and watched so much it's completely worn out.
* sigh * Pa-lease. He is Eddy Murphey after Eddie was not making many great films anymore, and, skipping over some others, you have Peter Sellers before that. There will be another, none of them are replaceable, but also, they are, as they have been and likely will be.
While I absolutely love Austin Powers... all 3... and I mean LOVE these movies... his best movie will always be So I Married An Axe Murderer... it's the funniest, zaniest, and wackiest, while also being heartfelt and beautifully acted by the amazingly talented cast...💙
Small correction: Robin William was already a pretty big star before Mrs doubtfire. Huge standup draw, also a hit tv series. And both a critical movie hit (garp) and huge commercial hit in movies (good morning vietnam) before doubtfire.
It makes me sad because he is one of my all time favorite actors and I wish he got better roles more often. Then again maybe he turns them down and we just don’t know about it.
I love these movies, but the entrance in the 3rd movie including Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacy, Danny Devito and others was simply amazing.
If anything is a testament to the austin power series is that all of their films are far more timeless and rewatchable than a majority of the 007 films they were parodying
I was 8 when goldmember was released, that movie made me laugh so much as a kid and even more as an adult now that I understand more of the dirty humor 😂
He was the best in those roles in that moment in time. But time goes on. Peter Sellers was like Myers, but it didn't stop Myers from creating. Hard to believe that Sellers wasn't mentioned in this, with his parodies and playing multiple characters.
Really wearing your Millennial name tag by saying Robin Williams was launched by Mrs. Doubtfire. The 15 years of his career prior to Mrs Doubtfire would beg to differ 😂😂😂
Austin Powers is based on 1960's nostalgia like how Back to the Future and Grease are based on 1950's nostalgia, Stranger Things on 1980's nostalgia, Etc.
I love all your videos man! I would love to hear What you think about sons of anarchy.. I feel like there’s so much about that show that went over my head lol
The did an Austin Powers parody inside Austin Powers where Tom Cruise played Austin Powers. Because of that any remake staring another actor is gonna feel like a parody of a parody.

Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis
I thoroughly enjoyed that one~
It’s such a charming movie and it has wall-to-wall cameos from amazing comedic talent; everyone from Phil Hartman, to Charles Grodin, to Alan Arkin.
100% agree really good movie
HEAD! MOOVE
We need more Austin Powers. I can only imagine the "perfect" ways it would portray modern spy films.!
With how society is these days they wouldn't get away with films like Austin powers these days.
@@Steve30x Yep. The humor would be lost on certain humorless people and they just get offended.
I think The Pentaverate proved that Mike really hasn't got it anymore. Which is a damn shame, but lets just leave this un-rebooted.
Long overdue for a fourth lol
@@ryanh3635 that was an absolute trash fire of a show.
It's a pity that "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Love Guru" wrecked most of his career. He brought a sense of zany charm and humour to most of his roles.
Maybe it’s because I grew up on that movie, but I thought he made “The Cat in the Hat” amazing.
Cat in the hat is a masterpiece
Yeah cat in the hat is unreal
Fun fact: The main character in The Love Guru was originally planned to appear in the second Austin Powers film, but was ultimately scrapped.
Thanks for reminding me of the existence of The Love Guru. SMH.
I grew up with these movies. I was 2 when the first one came out! It’s still one of my favorite movie series to this day.
I watched Austin Powers so much as a child, and I enjoyed it every time without even knowing it was a spoof of James Bond movies (which I didn't see any of until during college). I actually have a hard time watching James Bond movies, because Austin Powers seems so much better to me. I love it even more now that I know it was a tribute to his dad.

Mike and Jack Black are my favorite actors for that exact reason. They are 100% themselves and no one can replace them.
That aged well 😂
Jack Blacks been getting paid to push far left propaganda for the Biden administration since covid...
@@TzhzAre there some news about Jack or Mike?
@@zaicol850 I'm not 100% on the details, but I think there was some conflict between Jack Black and one of his bandmates, who was in favour of Donald Trump.

Austin Powers is on my list of perfect movies. Learning all this just makes my appreciation so much deeper, thank you for another excellent video!
Am I the only one who really enjoyed "So I Married an Axe Murder"? Thought that was charming and funny.
Can't believe more people didnt see it.
Having never seen Waynes World or Powers, Axe Murderer is how I know Mike Meyers in live action
Woman, WO(Woah)-MAN
It's an amazing movie, quote it all the time.
"HEAD! MOOOOVE!"
That was probably his best
I was just thinking about how amazing Mike Myers is and how little recognition he gets.
Its probably because how big of a narcissist the guy is
I mean, lately, sure, but he used to be the most recognized and respected man in comedy outside of Jim Carrey.
@@deadeyedmillennialmedia I'm not denying that, he was huge. But when you treat everyone around like they're less, and put yourself on a pedestal, people won't care how good your comedy is...
@@deadeyedmillennialmedia nvm u ain't talking to me lol
@@mattgowrie8580 what did he do that shows he's a narc?
2:32 Funny you mention Jim Carrey, because originallly, Mike Myers actually wanted him to play Dr. Evil; however, Carrey was unable to because he was recording _Liar Liar_ at the time.
To this day I still use the term "Austin Powered" anytime anything is stuck in a 90 degree angle lmfao

But Dr.Evil is just "chef's kiss". As perfect and genius as the day he was written.
Yeah, idk, I always thought Dr. Evil was the more hilarious character and revisiting it a few years back, I still feel that way.
Wasn't expecting to cry. Great video.
If Austin Powers was made today, he would have been frozen in 1993.
We're almost as far away from the time of the release of the movie as the character is from his time.
Oh thank God. Sometimes life moves so slowly I think we're still in the 2000s. It's reassuring to be reminded that we are in fact moving forward.

@@BAIGAMINGI thought I was the only one who thought this way. I have talked about the vice city gap multiple times
@HOTD108_ why rush to the end? The same destination awaits whether the train moves fast or slow.
Mike Myers creates his own characters from within. That's why. Can you imagine another Wayne Cambell? No, because there isn't one. It isn't James Bond.
Shagadelic video guys, thank you for making it!
There's a handful of times I remember laughing so hard it physically hurt. Watching these movies was one of them.
Me and my father love the Austin Powers movies, I never knew they were a tribute to Eric Myers, but it makes sense looking back at them because they were the movies that it felt like we were more together watching them then other movies.
Let us all remember when Robin Williams was launched into stardom... Mrs. Doubtfire
😂😂😂
Yeah definitely wasn't his hit sitcom or multiple Oscar nominations
I loved this video to my favorite comedy trilogy. Thank you for choosing to upload it
Jim Carey, rob Williams, mike and Adam Sandler can’t be replaced
Don't forget Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, other slapstick artists like them The Waynes
I just watched the series with some friends recently, can say they're still amazing and will be timeless to me
Couldn't have been DVDs. VHS was still big in '97 and '98. DVDs only came out in the US in 97. DVD sales didn't overtake VHS until 2001. That's the overall market, I couldn't find data specifically for Austin Powers' home video sales.
Myers: "What if I just do a carbon copy of Blofield with the ONLY difference being he talks exactly like Lorne?"
Dr Evil was born.
3 weeks to write Austin Powers is crazy. That is unteachable talent.
My dad and I watched The Spy Who Shagged Me in theaters. I was just over 9 and it was our favorite movie. He died 2 years later.
I grew up watching Goldmember it’s the best!! I didn’t know it was a spoof until I was MUCH older 😂😂
Great, now I want to rewatch the movies once more, again.
The Austin Powers movies are easily my favorite comedy movies ever. I remember when the bluray copies I ordered got delivered they had an odd perfume smell on them that made me think that's what Austin would smell like LOL. My guess it was really just from the delivery driver...
That’s such a cute detail, I love when things like that become part of the memories!
I love all 3 Austin Powers movies. I wish we got more.
That is the least offensive “like subscribe, ring bell” animation I’ve ever seen! No obnoxious mouse click! a very happy new subscriber here
How am I only just finding out Mike Myers also played Dr Evil?
I think so... How do you watch the movies and not realize they're the same person? They do nothing to hide it besides the actor wearing a skull cap as Dr. Evil.
Love this channel and love this series, great video
I grew up on these movies!! So funny and rewatchable 😄
Same I was probably top young when I first watched them, but oh well lol
I still can’t say one million dollars without saying it like dr evil and putting my pinky up to my chin. 😂
Freaks me out that there's been nearly the same amount of time since the first Austin Powers movie to now as there had been from 1967 until it came out.
He looked gorgeous as Steve Rubell in the studio 54 flick. Whatever he appeared in, his smile n giggle, never failed me ha ha!
Hard to convey how popular Austin Powers was in my age group at the time. My entire school quoted lines.. to the point we still say some of it without even knowing where it came from...
Austin powers is one of those movies when you can watch over and over
I was today years old when i found out Dr. Evil is portrayed by Mike Myers
I gotta go hug my dad now
I can't believe you said that Mrs. Doubtfire is what made Robin Williams famous...how dare you
You need to go back about 15 years before Mrs. Doubtfire to find Robin Williams' breakout character, Mork from Ork.
My took my mom to go see this in theaters. They walked out. He later bought a copy of the VHS that i still have, and watched so much it's completely worn out.
* sigh * Pa-lease. He is Eddy Murphey after Eddie was not making many great films anymore, and, skipping over some others, you have Peter Sellers before that.
There will be another, none of them are replaceable, but also, they are, as they have been and likely will be.
My Mum and I still quote Austin Powers to this day 😅 particularly lines from the first one
I loved "So I Married an Axe Murderer."
"He's got a giant heeeeeeeed."
Peter sellers was a huge influence it’s undeniably
You can never replace Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, Daniel Day Lewis, Christian Bale & Mike Myers.
Part 4 should be about Scott, pretending to be multiple people while Dr. evil, and Austin Powers point out how Ludacris it is
While I absolutely love Austin Powers... all 3... and I mean LOVE these movies... his best movie will always be So I Married An Axe Murderer... it's the funniest, zaniest, and wackiest, while also being heartfelt and beautifully acted by the amazingly talented cast...💙
I think he took or "borrowed" Eddy Murphy's shtick and cranked it to 11😂
I love everything Mike Myers does
Ed no clue Austin Powers was so closely tied to Mike Myers father. I feel like i can appreciate these movies even more now.
My dad who grew up in the 60s loved the movies and showed me all the Austin powers films. I just rewatched em as an adult and I got a lot out of it
Small correction: Robin William was already a pretty big star before Mrs doubtfire. Huge standup draw, also a hit tv series. And both a critical movie hit (garp) and huge commercial hit in movies (good morning vietnam) before doubtfire.
I didnt realize goldmember was the most overlooked out of the three, I always saw it as my favorite!
It makes me sad because he is one of my all time favorite actors and I wish he got better roles more often. Then again maybe he turns them down and we just don’t know about it.
He's a massive dick on set and so no-one books him any more
He was phenomenal in his recent works as the mask(s) in *”Baby Driver!”*
I don't know why the third film was looked at negatively, it's my favourite one. Absolutely hilarious.
I loved this movie when I was a teen.
I just want to say one thing... sharks with friggin lasers on their head
So I married an axe murderer is one of my favorite comedies ever
I love these movies, but the entrance in the 3rd movie including Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacy, Danny Devito and others was simply amazing.
Every time I hear Mike Myers, I think, "The guy who writes those CompTIA books?"
A Wayne’s World for a 2020s audience?
I think yes.
Mike Myers is a living legend!
We’re not worthy!
Damn it! Now I have to rewatch them all
I love that trilogy, I watch it at least once a year
Love this can't replace series.
Proud fellow Torontonian here. I saw MM in APIMoM in the theatre.
He was also Fat Bastard? Damn, man has range.
We’re all our fathers, bad, god, and silly. Though different from them and individual, there’s always a bit of them that lives within us.
My sixth grade teacher is named Austin after Austin powers
The Austin Powers trilogy is awesome. I have the trilogy on blu ray.
If anything is a testament to the austin power series is that all of their films are far more timeless and rewatchable than a majority of the 007 films they were parodying
007 movies tend to be super boring outside a couple crazy scenes each.
Great video, great series! It's a shame we'll never see a 4th Austin Powers film, guess the Superbowl commercials will have to do.
My favorite movies and my inspiration.
My aunt and cousins made me love these movies. Yeah baby😊
I saw Mike Myers and couldn't bring myself to say hello. Best I could do was nod at him.
I was 8 when goldmember was released, that movie made me laugh so much as a kid and even more as an adult now that I understand more of the dirty humor 😂
He was the best in those roles in that moment in time. But time goes on. Peter Sellers was like Myers, but it didn't stop Myers from creating. Hard to believe that Sellers wasn't mentioned in this, with his parodies and playing multiple characters.
"Oh, BEE-HAVE!"
Austin Powers is still hillarious af to this day...

Including a hit sitcom and 2 Oscar nominations
Shout out to Mike Check, the podcast that analyses every Mike Meyers movie to see if they’re still shagadelic
That sounds like the shortest podcast ever.

title: "Why Mike Myers Is One Of The Only Actors You Can't Replace"
me thinking of Jim Carrey
Ah, so that's the origin of all those memes!
Why is the woman's face on the poster in the SCHWING scene blurred? LMAO 🤣
There's a few ppl that can only do what they do. Mike Jim Carrey and Robin Williams
Aaaand today i found out mike myers played fatman, austin powers and, dr. Evil. I always wondered who the Dr. Evil actor was
Austin Powers is based on 1960's nostalgia like how Back to the Future and Grease are based on 1950's nostalgia, Stranger Things on 1980's nostalgia, Etc.
Dr.Evil is incredibly funny, and feels like a completely different person to Austin Powers.
Great video
Whatever you do, dont make eye contact with him.
I love all your videos man! I would love to hear What you think about sons of anarchy.. I feel like there’s so much about that show that went over my head lol
If the world wide web wasn't as big as it is, I still wouldn't know that he played all those other characters besides Austin Powers.
Hold my beer said AI 😂

The weakest point of Goldmember was Foxy Cleopatra.
