I mean, Mike Myers is also an SNL alumn and has been even before Austin Powers, so he IS rather well-connected.

I still remember the ads, "if you only see 1 film this year see Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, BUT if you see 2 films, see Austin Powers in Goldmember. " It was almost as significant as Star Wars coming back

back when there still were big comedies that people would go to the cinema to see. now comedy films dont get the box office to even be shown in cinemas.

And none of the cameos were spoiled when I went to see it either, so it was awesome

I love goooooooold.

and using only two fingers...

You mean Foxy Cleopatra?

Boy was Jay-Z surprised to find that out.

Little known fact: mini me

Even still to this day!

I still use this lol

As a Dutchman I was very disappointed that that scene didn't make it into the KZfaq cut.

@@YouHaventSeenMeRight Sadly, while you are right I cannot trust you. Because you're Dutch. Sorry

(imitating goldmember) Take the fazha away

"Smoke and a pancake?"

.... And they were so much more realistic Spy Films!

And they are all worth watching as a trilogy.

This 👍🏻

Yes...to this comment, and the question at 24:04 (although I'm pretty sure that was a clip from "Hurry Sundown", which was not a secret agent movie).

The MOLE guy is played by Fred Savage, known as a child actor for the Wonder Years show.

All the Bond women silly names , really hit high with GoldFinger , P Galore , But Honey Rider (Dr No) , Chew Mee (Man with Goldengun) Kissy Suzuki (you only live twice) Sean Connery had the most sillies female counterpart names . They should watch 1971 Get Carter (X rated later only R rated) , as Michael Caine him self said , what his life could have been , because he did have criminal relatives , and then compare it to Stallone remake from 2000 , with his friend Michael Caine in a side role .

At the time I was a little disappointed they didn't cast Peter Wyngard as Austin's Dad, since Jason King appeared to be the overwhelming influence on APs look - but the Harry Palmer glasses are more than enough of an influence to justify Caine (quite apart from the whole sixtiesness of his early career).

Harry Palmer was the inspiration for Austin's glasses.

@@476429 I've a feeling his performance as 'Alfie' influences some of Austin's loucher qualities, too...

Yep plus Austin's glasses are a direct nod to Caine.

I knew the Susanna Hoffs part but none of the rest

Jay Roach, the envy of 80s men everywhere.

Love Matthew Sweet

Knowing the many other huge film roles he's turned down, that doesn't surprise me. Just like the others, he probably didn't "get it" when he was handed the script.

on that note, The Ipcress File is a great spy movie. I don't know about the sequel, Funeral in Berlin, though

I remember everyone cracking up when Ozzy showed up.

I saw it in theatres as well. Audience was cracking up the whole time. It was great.

Still holds up to this day, as does the Just the Two of Us number in the first movie.

@@noneya3635 I played the hell outta that soundtrack

I remember my mom and I doubled over sobbing when Austin kicked Mini Me into the fridge.

Austin-from-10-minutes-from-now?

And good riddance. She is just sooo awful in that movie. Drags the whole thing down. The 1st and 3rd installments are classics on the other hand.

@@chriscurran981 Nah, 1 and 2 are the best.

The first one was the only tolerable one… this one and the 2nd one were abominations

I get your arguments. Maybe I should warm up a bit more to the third one. It has definitely the most variety and good writing. But my favorite has always been the second movie. Because basically Heather Graham. 😅 But also some of the jokes and Austin had the best fitting German voice actor in the second movie imo. As did Doctor Evil and all the other characters. I think they changed some of the VAs between movies....

Same was true decades before for the Batman tv show.

Satire of Goldfinger.

17:09 why the sumo remove underwear in front of foxxy ?

YESSSSS

Whose Aurora??

@@2droidz12 I think she was Sleeping Beauty

I just rewatched those. Showed them a friend who had never seen them. And early Tia Carrere! 😅😍🥰 She was so lovely. Still is. And she always returns her shopping cart. 😊 You should actually look that up. Cart Narcs are SO funny!

Its a cobra, which is noticeably smaller than the more well known apache.

@@Deukish I'm not an expert by any means, but if memory serves - Cobras are used by the USMC. Are they smaller than Apaches to make them easier to transport on ships or because they are more used for close in support of troops as opposed to say - laying waste to an entire tank column? Not saying they can't be used to destroy tanks....just talking about the jobs that are their primary function.

@@fenix6297 The Cobra is old. Like, it used the same engine, rotor and transmission as the Iriquois, a utility helicopter which came into service with the US military in about 1960. It;s not so much that it's small, it's that the Apache is the bigger, better helicopter built for a similar role as the Cobra.

@@fenix6297 The original Cobra was developed from the Huey for the US Army in Vietnam, but the USMC quickly developed it into the beefier SeaCobra and later the SuperCobra.

@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t Interesting. I didn't realize it was that old as I remember them being used when I was stationed at Pendleton. Wait...never mind. Right after I typed that, it occured to me "that's was over 20 years ago, dumbazz" So yeah....I now understand how it can be old. 😁 Thank you for the information.

I think you mean future Austin since he's Austin from ten minuets from now.

@@drafezard7315 I’m pretty sure Future-Austin says, “Past-Austin???” when he sees he’s the one sleeping with Felicity.

@@Jaden_The_Celestial Oh never mind, I just checked and you're right.

Dynamite! I do feel a lot of the exploitation references would be missed, but both are hilarious.

​@@LordVolkovthey really should watch some blaxploitation movies before seeing Black Dynamite but it would pay off so much. Michael Jai White is fantastic and the movie is rather excellent in weaving in references and comedy together.

"What did you say? You said melts in your mouth..." It's worth it for that scene alone.

Blow Up is a good film, they should react to that.

Love them all, but I agree.

Me too! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yeah I've heard singers can be actors but actors rarely turn singers.

Mos Def is pretty solid actor

Jared Leto 👍

Mr. Bowie actually played a hitman in "Into The Night", alongside Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer.

"The Man Who Fell to Earth" is a cool film starring Bowie.

I hadn't seen this movie in many, many years so I had forgotten about a few of the gags. I was laughing so hard at the silhouette birth scene that my wife stepped out of the shower to ask if I was dying.

Also The golden years?

lol george does all their thumbnails. its pretty great.

Yes! I was just starting to read "if you want more Mike Myers" and already that axe murderer movie popped into my head. 😅 I, too watched it after it got recommended to me in a comment section. And to me, it is FAR from being as funny as something like Austin Powers or Wayne's World. But certainly better than shit like The Love Guru. 😅🙈 It's also kind of a different genre, like more of a romantic comedy. But a romantic comedy that strangely stuck with me. Maybe because the lead actress is SOOOOO lovely. 😍😍🥰 And they definitely have chemistry there. Oh and btw, I smelled the ending twist from like a mile away. There were only small doubts. And of course, Mike Myers has a different voice actor. He ALWAYS has.

Mike Myers Did the Wayne's World Movie, which I thought was hilarious (I was in High School at the time, so we all loved it, and SNL was big). Then after a few other things, a post SNL Myers did "So I married an Axe Murderer....which I thought was awful, and lead me to believe he was going to be like other SNL stars who would flop in films and fade away...... Then he did Austin Powers, and the rest is history.....eventually.

@@kwydjebo Come on, it wasn't awful. It was just different. And if you were in high school at that time, I can completely understand. I was, too. But when I first watched that Axe murderer movie, that must have been like last year or so. When I was 36. 😅 Have you given it another try recently? Granted, it has some cringe moments (and the German dub is just awful, especially when Mike Myers sings) but beyond that It's pretty lovely. And I can't quite say, why it stuck with me...

I could actually totally copy paste a perfect comment I made a year ago on their first Austin Powers reaction and I think I will, because it includes two other movie recommendations that I love MUCH more than "So, I Married An Axe Murderer"...:

All right. I watched it now. And I gotta say. It´s pretty dang good. A romantic comedy with a lot of heart and great direction. But I guess the original comment was pretty nostalgia driven, because imo it´s PRETTY predictable. However, I would recommend it, it´s definitely worth watching. But not necessarily worth reacting to. Idk, it´s pretty generic overall. There are better more modern romantic comedies with a similar blueprint like My Best Friend´s Wedding (which I rated a perfect 10/10 btw) or Just Married with Ashton Kutcher and R.I.P. Brittany Murphy. I hold that movie to a very high regard. But nonetheless, So I Married An Axe Murderer is DEFINITELY worth your time. I was NEVER bored, not for a single second and I´m having a hard time thinking of any negatives or things worth criticizing about it. It has a ton of charm and for a 1993 movie GREAT directing! It kind of reminded me of Clue in some parts. Again: DEFINITELY worth watching!

Fook Yu .....

Matthew Sweet is also in the band.

"He's got the Midas touch, but he touched it too much, he's Goldmember" LOL!

Look at 17:09 are you not noticed something ?

Same, this is the only Austin Powers movie I REALLY like :D
