Austin
Powers in Goldmember (2002)
- this was the third chapter of the spy-comedy film
series franchise that was a mild spoof of many James Bond films;
actor Mike Myers portrayed four roles - the title character Austin
Powers, super-villain Dr. Evil, a repulsive gold-obsessed Dutchman
known as Goldmember, and obese and vulgar Fat Bastard
- the film opened with a prologue (and ended with a
bookending epilogue) - a self-parody of its own film series called Austinpussy -
Austin Powers was featured in a bio-pic parody of Octopussy (1983) (directed
by Steven Spielberg, and with Tom Cruise as Austin Powers)

- after the prologue, Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) was in his
lair behind the Hollywood Sign in the year 2002; with the goal of
world domination, Dr. Evil's plan was to travel back in time to 1975
and partner with the Dutch, gold-obsessed Johann van der Smut ((inspired
by the villain Auric Goldfinger in Goldfinger (1964)); the
plan was to use Goldmember's top-secret, cold fusion power unit to
cause a powerful 'Preparation-H' tractor beam to pull a solid gold
meteor known as Midas 22 into a collision course with Earth; the
meteor was designed to melt the polar ice caps and cause massive
flooding
- to prevent Dr. Evil's plan, commandos from the British
Ministry of Defence (and British secret service agent Austin Powers)
abducted Dr. Evil from his lair, imprisoned him in a Maximum Security
Facility in Geneva, Switzerland, and sentenced the guilty Dr. Evil
to 400 years
- at the same time, Austin Powers' famous spy father
Nigel Powers (Michael Caine) was abducted (by yacht crew members
with gold-painted genitalia); to apprehend the culprit, Austin received
information from Dr. Evil about how Goldmember was behind the kidnapping,
in exchange for being given a prison transfer
- Austin traveled back to 1975 and infiltrated Goldmember's
roller "Studio 69" Disco (spoofing Studio 54) in NYC but
Goldmember escaped by using Dr. Evil's time travel machine to take
Nigel back to the year 2002
- while there, Austin reunited with his former lover,
undercover FBI agent Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles) (a spoof of
blaxploitation female characters, such as Foxy Brown and Cleopatra
Jones); Goldmember was pursued immediately through the time-travel
portal by Austin and Foxxy in his pink and purple "pimpmobile" time-travel
device back to 2002
- Dr. Evil was now incarcerated in a Georgia State
Prison, where he and his min-cloned self Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) instigated
a riot in their prison and escaped to a new lair in Tokyo; a British
Intelligence mole known as Number Three/The Mole (Fred Savage) (with
an actual large, protruding hairy mole on his upper lip) informed
Austin of Dr. Evil's new whereabouts - a submarine shaped as himself
cruising in Tokyo Bay
- Dr. Evil's son Scott (Seth Green) finally presented
his father with a present - two sharks in a shark tank with laser
beams affixed to their heads: ("frickin' sharks with frickin'
laser beams attached to their frickin' heads"); overly emotional
and impressed by his son ("You're the best evil son an evil
Dad could ever ask for"), Dr. Evil displaced Mini-Me from his
right-hand position ("Move down the bench")
- Austin with Foxxy traveled to Tokyo in his psychedelic-painted
jumbo jet and met with Sumo wrestler Fat Bastard, one of Dr. Evil's
henchmen; Fat Bastard informed them that Japanese businessman Mr.
Roboto (of Roboto Industries) was designing "some contraption" (the
tractor beam) for Dr. Evil; in the factory, Foxxy and Austin discovered
that Goldmember was holding Nigel hostage
- their evil plan of world domination was confirmed
when Mr. Roboto gave Goldmember a phallic-shaped golden key needed
for activation and control
- when confronted by Foxxy and Austin who rescued Nigel,
Goldmember escaped with the tractor beam power unit and fled to Dr.
Evil's submarine
- Dr. Evil demonstrated how he wasn't bluffing by inserting
the golden activation key into the cold fusion port and activating
the tractor beam to cause a two-breasted shaped satellite to fall
out of orbit; 'phallic' wordplay commenced about the tit-shaped satellite
with various breast synonyms:
- Radar Operator Johnson: Sir, Dr. Evil's not bluffing. One of our
satellites is falling out of orbit.
- General Clark: Which one?
- Radar Operator Johnson: It's the one that looks like a pair of...
- Busty Female Vendor: Melons! Big juicy melons!
- Male Shopper: Are they nice and firm?
- Busty Female Vendor: Well, what do you think?
- Male Shopper: (pointing) Look at that. It looks like a set of giant...
- Four Shirtless Fans With Painted Chests Reading T-I-T-S: Hey, A and
N you're late. How're we doin? We're back. (cheering) Go Titans! Check
it out. Those remind me of...
- Ozzy Osbourne: (watching the game on TV and pausing the screen) Boobs!
- Sharon Osbourne: Boobs, Ozzy?
- Ozzy Osbourne: These filmmakers are just f--king boobs.
- Kelly Osbourne: What do you mean, Dad?
- Ozzy Osbourne: Well, they're using the same f--king jokes as they
did in the last Austin Powers movie.
- Sharon Osbourne: What f--king joke?
- Jack Osbourne: You know, the f--king joke about the long smooth rocket
that looks like some guy's...
- General Clark: Johnson!
- Radar Operator Johnson: Yes, sir.
- General Clark: Any sign of that satellite?
- Radar Operator Johnson: No, sir. It's gone.
- the trio of Foxxy, Austin, and Mini-Me (who had defected
and switched sides to join them) stealthily entered the submarine;
Austin and Mini-Me went off together to search
- in the sick bay of Dr. Evil's submarine lair, they
were disguise in one uniform as a single person (with swinging agent
Austin Powers unsteadily perched on Mini-Me's shoulders); a medical
officer demanded that they take a physical - requiring a urine sample;
they cleverly improvised to provide a urine sample for the doctor
(Mini-Me spit out Apple juice through the uniform)

- during a hilarious, vulgar shadow-play or puppetry
scene, Austin was instructed to go behind a screen and remove his
clothes; they were silhouetted behind the curtain while casting very
funny shadows ("Mini-Me. Our shadows!"); an astonished
and incredulous sailor watched their silhouettes (imagining that
he saw Austin playing with himself, and then having a stand-up birth
of Mini-Me!)
- in a major plot twist, Nigel revealed that Austin
and Dr. Evil were brothers! as a result of this revelation, Austin
lowered his gun and affirmed: "He ain't heavy. He's my brother,
baby, yeah." Although there was an emotional reconciliation
and a threesome hug (with Mini-Me joining), Evil's son Scott was
incensed that his father had turned good, and threatened to retaliate
- Goldmember appeared and was still resolute to destroy
the world; Foxxy threw the golden activation key into the shark tank,
although Goldmember reached for a spare from his pants -- "My
winkie was a key" he exclaimed; Foxxy misdirected his gunfire,
as Dr. Evil attempted to reverse the polarity in the cold fusion
control box; as the beam was projected, it reversed itself and lethally
electrocuted Goldmember and exploded the meteor
- the film concluded with an epilogue - Austin and Dr.
Evil and other cast members were watching the premiere of Austinpussy in
a Hollywood theatre, while back in Dr. Evil's Hollywood lair, a black-garbed
and bald Scott danced around and vengefully vowed: "I'm gonna
get you, Austin Powers."
