Seriously, it is always a breathe of fresh air when you do movies. Even if I've seen them many times, you always make it a fresh watchalong! I know you have a lot on your plate, but I still hope you get back to doing more flicks. So, thank you for this one.
Mike Myers was very famous before this film was made. He was on SNL for several years and had starred in multiple films, including Wayne's World and its sequel and my personal favorite, So I Married and Axe Murderer.
@tubekulose Yes, sir. Well, it used to be a comedy. It's become rather sad of late. Mike Myers was on in the early 90s when it was at it's best. Dana Carvey was also on at the same time. Ypu may remember him from Wayne's World. That movie was a spinoff from an SNL sketch.
@@DrCookie6996p The famous Belgian detective from Agatha Christie novels, like _Murder on the Orient Express_ and _Death on the Nile,_ each were made into movies in the last few years, starring Kenneth Branagh. They also have a TV show called _Poirot._
Since you're not familiar with the actor (Mike Myers), you might not also notice that he played Dr. Evil too. This becomes more important as the movies go on, because he plays more and more main characters throughout, and it makes you appreciate when they interact onscreen.
Mike Meyers, who played both Austin and Dr.Evil, Wayne on Wayne's World, and Shrek, was on SNL for years, and the Dr.Evil character is partially an impression of his old SNL boss, Lorne Michaels. He grew up in Canada, but his parents were British. The hairy chest was because of Sean Connery in the James Bond Movies, where one of the villain's henchman was an Asian man who would throw his hat at people.
omg, Carrie Fisher was more than Princess Leia in the star wars movies. She was brilliant a script doctor for so many movies. meaning Carrie would be given a script and added more jokes and more agency to the women involved in the movie. Carrie Fisher knew what she was doing and did it well. we need more like Her. ❤🥰
The other 2 movies are worth watching. Mike Meyers was quite well known before this. He was in SNL for some years and made at least two well received movies "Wayne's World" and "Wayne's World 2". The first one of those is also worth watching. Don't remember the second one too well.
Solid trilogy here; worth watching it all. They aren't gonna blow you away in follow up films but rather they lean into what made this one so great and stay true to the tone set in this first Austin Powers movie.
Elizabeth Hurley's face is literally perfect according to the Golden Ratio. I saw a really cool program years ago about people's faces and how our brain recognizes them. It was hosted by John Cleese of Monty Python and Liz Hurley was his assistant / model.
FYI Bob's Big Boy is a chain of restaurants in the US and they all had that statue outside. Most of them have closed but they were very popular in the 80s and 90s.
Mary, it’s so nice to see you watching a movie again. Watch the two sequels. For really funny, check out Raising Arizona, directed by the Cohen brothers.
If you are familiar with the tv show “Seinfeld”, the Las Vegas card dealer also plays the Soup Nazi. “NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!”. Also, the psychologist leading the group therapy session is played by Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame.
@@kenttaylor9238 Also, the tour guide @16:59 is the wig-master in _Seinfeld_ and he was Steve the gay choreographer working with Larry David on _Curb Your Enthusiasm._
A great reaction, Mary, I really enjoyed it. Yes, please do react to the next two in the series, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Austin Powers: Goldmember".
The Asian henchman, Random Task is a parody of the Asian henchman Oddjob in the James Bond movie Goldfinger. In that movie, he wears a razor-brimmed hat, which he throws like a Frisbie. The actor who played Random Task in this movie is currently serving life in prison for some very bad things that he did.
I'd forgotten that the soup Nazi from Seinfeld was the blackjack dealer. If you start a comedy series Seinfeld is a good one. Maybe the best other than The Office
Well also, the UN director @9:55 is Babu Bhatt from _Seinfeld._ And the tour guide @16:59 is the wig-master in _Seinfeld_ and he was Steve the gay choreographer working with Larry David on _Curb Your Enthusiasm._
I'll comment later, but PLEASE. Do ALL 3 of them. Ok, the Austin Powers Trilogy is awesome. It gets be4tter and better as you keep watching these movies. Great Post of the first step of 3 to AWESOMENESS.
A few notes: You really should see some of the James Bond Movies before the other two. Half of the jokes are based on the Bond movies. Start with Goldfinger, Thunderball, You only Live Twice, and Moonraker for sure. The intermission breaks are done in the style of an American variety show called Laugh In that aired around 1970. They'd do the exact thing between jokes. The assassin at the end who threw the shoe turned out to be a real-life monster. Like Dateline special level monster.
This movie and its sequels are an homage and a parody of the 1960s "Spy Craze" but especially James Bond and the British spy show "The Avengers". Thrown in to the mix is the psychedelic GoGo culture as exemplified by American comedy show "Laugh-In".
I honestly didn’t think you’d like this but it makes me so happy to see you enjoying it. That was awesome that you quoted Mrs. Kinsington before she did. I love all 3 but the sequel is truly the best of them all.
The quick and psychedelic bridges between scenes were an homage to a TV show from the late 1960s, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. Dan Rowan and Dick Martin hosted a comedy variety show which used exactly those types of bridges between skits. The humor was very topical and political, so it didn't age well and the show never did well in syndication, so it was pretty quickly forgotten by the majority of the public.
Not sure if anyone mentioned that Mike Myers also played Dr Evil - not sure if that was obvious. Anyway, he’s doing an impression of Lorne Michaels who created Saturday Night Live and has run the show except for a few years. In the sequels Mike Myers adds more characters that he also plays. In addition to being takeoffs of James Bond movies they also draw a lot from the Flint movies - Our Man Flint, In Like Flint - that starred James Coburn.
I'm sure by now you already know that he made it big with Wayne's World. I recommend seeing "So I Married an Axe Murderer" before you watch any more of the Austin Powers movies. Not for story or continuity... but it'll give you some more context for Mike's humor and how he does some of his characters.
Dr. Evil is a satire on probably the greatest James Bond villain, Ernst Stavros Blofeld. Blofeld is the head of SPECTRE, a terrorist agency, and in the James Bond films he is Polish, not Belgian. He is referred to as the organization's number one. Number two, Emilio Largo, also wears an eyepatch.
The character Austin Powers actually pre-dated the movies. He was created for the faux 60s band Ming Tea (formed by Myers with Susanna Hoffs as Gillian Shagwell and Matthew Sweet as Sid Belvedere) which you can see in the musical interludes between scenes in the movie.
Mary, While Austin Powers spoofs several famous '60's spy series (James Bond, Derek Flint, Matt Helm, and John Steed), the FemBots actually spoof a couple of Vincent Price films: "Dr. Goldfoot, And His Bikini Machine", and "Dr. Goldfoot, And The Girl Bombs". 🙂
Definitely finish this series. I saw all of them in the theater. When I worked at CHUCK E CHEESE, one of the show videos had Chuck E and a bunch of kids recreating the opening dance scene from this movie.
Mary, ok so Mike Myers - absolutely legendary. Well known for Wayne's World, a cable tv series then turned into a film, and a sequel, and also responsible for putting Bohemian Rhapsody back at number 1 in the charts decades after it's original release. Other films of note, other than the 2 sequels to Austin Powers, 'So I Married An Axe Murderer' which is hilarious and one of my favourites; Shrek. He also wrote the Austin Powers films, Wayne's World, and So I Married An Axe Murderer and others. His parents were from Liverpool, before they emigrated to Canada, and there is Scottish Ancestry. His Dad was a massive James Bond fan, particularly of Sean Connery, and this is the motivation for Austin Powers. There is a funny speech by Mike Myers, honouring Sean Connery - ruclips.net/video/KQYp8xJ4kpo/видео.htmlsi=S7j4xNj5mgaXrX-h
The sequels are definitely worth a watch. It's also worth it to have a glancing familiarity with the Bond franchise, so you understand all the references.
Definitely should do the next two. I thought the third was the best. Lots more Belgium and Denmark jokes in later films. Oh…and the cameos…so many cameos. Maybe brush up on early Bond films first. Lots of missed references from Dr Evil and the cat looking like Blofeld and his cat, to Allotta Fagina = Pussy Galore from Goldfinger or Octopussy from…Octopussy; Frau Farbissina = Rosa Klebb from “From Russia with Love.” Random Task a near exact ripoff of Odd Job from Goldfinger. Mike Meyers was a well known comedian from his years on Saturday Night Live and a movie based on one of the recurring sketches he did on that show (Wayne’s World) and he is the voice of Shrek… but Austin Powers definitely is what made him a big star globally.
5:55 I think Mary just out-Austin Powers-ed Austin Powers. Great job! :D Also, the version I know best is the (or a?) TV version which has reactions to the deaths of the two henchmen, the flattened one and the decapitated one.
Mike Myers was rly famous before he went just the actor. He was the main actor he was the main villain (I hope you saw that he was also dr. Evil) he did also write the movie so it's his script AND he was also the producer of the movie as well xD
Yes, you absolutely need to watch the other two movies!!!!!
And the new one coming soon.
@chuckh4077 well, we don't know if it should be watched, yet. Often, sequels made 20+ years later are awful. Like Super Troopers 2.
Just brace yourself, the potty humor gets a bit nutty.
Mary has to watch the sequels if only for all the Belgium jokes. 😂
YEA BABY
Yes please for all of the trilogy. :)
Especially 3. 😅 she will love that one.

Yes! Watch all three. Each is special in their own way. Funny and entertaining. Give it a go!

The therapist was played by Carrie Fisher.
3:15 _Big Boy_ is a chain of diner-style restaurants in the US. Although, there aren't that many locations anymore.
In a way, Big Boy never left.

The rug glued to Mike Myers' bare chest is a callback to the Sean Connery look in the James Bond movies.
These movies are basically giant spoofs of the 007 movies, along with some other spy stuff from that era. Pretty hilarious!
You won't get most of the jokes unless you've seen the Sean Connery James Bond movies.
A lot of jokes were also from the Our Man Flint movies.
Finally, you're getting into the series with the move famous Belgian supervillain ever. You'll love all three!
A few notes:
