Details: Product description 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, is however not the best part of the series. Escaped from prison, Dr Evil joins forces with the terrible Goldmember 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, showered 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 one 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 in the manner of 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 Amazon.ca It's all there: the polished credits, the extravagant car, the style, the success with women...
