Shagadelic, Baby! How Deep Does the Austin Powers Filmography Go?
Ever find yourself with a hankering for international espionage, 60s fashion that's frankly outrageous, and enough sexual innuendo to make your momma blush? Then you, my friend, are in the mood for an Austin Powers marathon! But before you dig out your crushed velvet leisure suit (and maybe a spare monocle, just in case), you might be wondering: just how many groovy adventures did this swinging spy have?
Fear not, for I, your narrator with impeccable comedic timing (and a questionable grasp of reality), am here to shed light on this cinematic mystery!
There are, wait for it... three, yes, THREE Austin Powers movies! Here's a quick rundown to get your mojo working:
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): Our intrepid hero, Austin Powers, is cryogenically frozen at the height of his swinging 60s spy career. Flash forward to the groovy (but frankly confusing) 90s, and Austin is thawed out to take down his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. Expect sharks with laser beams attached to their heads, elaborate disguises involving unfortunate bodily hair removal, and enough quotable lines to keep you saying "Groovy, baby!" for weeks.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999): Dr. Evil is back, baby! And this time, he's stolen Austin's mojo (his mojo!). A hilarious time-travel adventure ensues, with Austin venturing back to the swinging 60s to retrieve his mojo and, of course, woo the ever-fabulous fem fatale, Felicity Shagwell. Prepare for even more outrageous gags, a Mini-Me you won't soon forget, and a dance floor showdown that'll make you want to bust a rug.
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002): Get ready for a Dutch oven of delight (look it up, but maybe not at work)! Austin must face not one, but two Dr. Evils (both played by the brilliant Mike Myers, by the way). This movie throws everything but the kitchen sink at you: a sassy new villain named Goldmember, a trip to outer space that's more disco than daring, and a heartwarming-ish resolution that proves even the most frozen-in-time spy can learn to love.
Now, that's the skinny on the Austin Powers trilogy! But wait, there's more!
