Details: Product Description Austin Powers in Goldmember (DVD) (WS) Amazon.ca It's all there: the polished credits, the extravagant car, the style, the success with women... It's not James Bond, but Austin Powers, the most psychedelic British spy in the universe. . This third adventure written and interpreted by the very funny Mike Myers, in which Austin faces Goldmember, however, is not the best part of the series. Escaped from prison, Dr Evil joins forces with the terrible Goldmember (The Man with the Golden Member) to, once again, destroy the Earth. When they kidnap Nigel Powers (Michael Caine), a high-class spy and father of Austin, the latter decides to get rid of the criminals. He will go back in time and find, in 1975, a partner of choice: the feline Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyoncé Knowles). Although he has become a real star, filled with love and money, Austin Powers still seeks to instill his father's pride, like Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade. In order to impress his father, he will try to forge an alliance with a criminal to flush out another, as Agent Starling did in The Silence of the Lambs. And the list goes on. References to cinema, music and advertising, as well as star appearances (Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Steven Spielberg, etc.) abound. Even if very good moments emerge (like the credits rolled out like a musical) and the whole thing is quite easy to watch, we look in vain for Goldmember's own substance. Because by dint of winks and pastiches, it is Austin Powers himself who ends up lacking body. --Helen Faradji Special Features Not surprisingly, deleted scenes and outtakes are the hands-down highlights of Goldmember's abundant Infinifilm features. Mike Myers's throwaway gags are funnier than Pauly Shore's entire career, revealing how a relaxed set encourages a flood of inspired improvisation. The Infinifilm feature is a handy, alternative method of seeing (and hearing) all of the bonus materials in logical sequence, mostly comprising behind-the-scenes featurettes devoted to costumes, special effects, all-star cameos, make-up, and various "social and historical" aspects of the Austin Powers franchise. The Myers/Jay Roach commentary track is worth a listening for Myers's casual jocularity (and his decent willingness to give credit to others), but their Hollywood compliments, while obviously sincere, eventually growing tiresome. More enjoyable are the pop-up subtitles in the DVD's "Fact Track" feature, adding lighthearted factoids to enhance an already very funny movie. Taken together, these features emphasize the productive camaraderie of the Austin Powers team and the devoted seriousness that the filmmakers bring to their pursuit of the next big laugh. --Jeff Shannon
