This movie is a not so oldie but goodie. It's just a movie that is plainly meant to be goofy and fun. Our first introduction of the title character involves and choreographed impromptu dance in the streets of London in the sixties. His nemesis Dr. Evil evades him again, and Evil becomes chryogenically frozen for 30 years. Austin must then do the same as he is the only one who can stop Evil. Austin is the extreme seventies swinger, so it's pretty funny when he re-emerges in the 90's.
Dr. Evil tries his best to be an evil genius but is just a bit behind the times and doesn't really know what evil is. He also has a artificially created son named Scott. Austin has a tough time adjusting to the modern day as well, especially with his super awful disgusting gross teeth, which his partner Vanessa can't help but point out all the time. After lots and lots of shenanigans, the final duel between these two occur when Evil plans on drilling through the earth's core and put a nuclear bomb down the tunnel. Austin and Vanessa stop him even through the face of ill tempered sea bass and fem-bots. Alas Evil escapes again.
This picture is from an alternate ending!
This movie has a few great cameos: Will Ferrell, Clint Howard, and Carrie Fischer.
This is also a movie that is mainly made up of tons of different comedy skits, which everyone remembers and quotes all the time!! My brother would do a Dr. Evil impression foooreeeevveer, so when I watched this it kept reminding me of my brother.
Sorry this post is so short. We've all seen Austin Powers, and I just started a new job and am pretty sleepy today! :)
We don't currently own Austin powers #2, but will buy it before we continue on this journey since we also have #3.
