Mike Myers' phenomenally successful spy spoof gains a few more characters, a slew of celebrity cameos, and even more free-associative laughs in this third installment of the popular franchise.
Austin Powers in Goldmember continues the exploits of the swinging-'60s leftover, who, as the film opens, is busy critiquing a big-budget Hollywood production of his life story, replete with a 20-million-dollar star in the lead role and a slew of
John Woo-style
action scenes. But not far from the soundstage lurks arch nemesis
Dr. Evil (
Myers), who has opened up a talent agency representing some of the industry's biggest stars -- all the while channeling their profits into a diabolical world-destruction plan with the unfortunate code name Preparation H.
Dr. Evil presents a distraction to
Austin by kidnapping his similarly swingin' father,
Nigel Powers, and transporting him back in time to 1975. Travelling there to save his father -- and in turn win back his dad's sometimes-errant affection --
Austin comes across the alluring superspy
Foxxy Cleopatra (
Beyonce Knowles). The three of them travel back to the present day, where they join forces to battle
Dr. Evil and his posse of nefarious evil-doers, including the trusty clone
Mini-Me (
Verne Troyer); his snotty son,
Scott (
Seth Green); the inimitable
Fat Bastard (
Myers); and the eponymous new addition to the fold: the epidermis-obsessed, precious-metal-fortified Dutchman called
Goldmember (
Myers).
