Hey everyone, I know Austin Powers isn't "forgotten" in the literal sense... I meant it's been out of the public eye for so long that we need to say hello again. Lots of comments about that 😆 It's not meant to insult those who have been quoting and rewatching the movies ever since their release. It's for those who weren't aware of its glory days where people wouldn't stop quoting these movies. Hope that helps clarify the title of the video. Some are having fun with it, others are losing their mojo.

What's scary is if Austin Powers came out today, a spy travelling from 30 years ago to now would come from 1994, 3 years before the first movie came out.

There was a point in my life where I watched all 3 movies so much I could quote the whole movie off of memory

I remember when I saw Seth Green speak on a panel at New York Comic Con 2009, someone asked him “Why hasn’t there been a new Austin Powers movie?”. Seth Green responded “Did any of you see The Love Guru?” When very few people raised their hands, Seth said “That’s why!” That was 15 years ago, and there still hasn’t been an Austin Powers 4.

It hasnt been forgotten about. Not every "francise" need to be run into the ground.

It’s crazy we’re almost as far away from Austin Powers 1 as it was from the 60’s

RIP Mini Me

Austin Powers is far from forgotten. 😂

Maybe forgotten to you, i think about scenes and lines almost daily. "Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day, Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day" "i don't remember your name but your.. fez is familiar" and that yea baby from Tom Cruise always cracks me

I think people have a somewhat skewed idea of what's "forgotten" or "underrated", as these words are constantly being thrown around on youtube about films and other media, which in fact are not underrated or forgotten. I really don't know what those words mean anymore, together with "cult classic", which often refers to films and shows that were big mainstream hits, but now are just a bit older, and didn't leave a huuuuuge cultural impact.

The real injustice wasn't that they didn't make another sequel but that they didn't make a prequel. Goldmember has by far the most perfectly cast flashback scene in the history of cinema. Those guys should have got their own movie. Also Derrick Flint from the Flint movies also a big inspiration for the character of Austin Powers. He's even watching In like Flint in the sequel and says that's his favorite movie.

Me and my friends literally make Austin Powers references every day

It's not forgotten. Makes me wonder what age you are my generation remembers this very well

I've never seen a packed theater laugh harder than the Jerry springer scene in the spy who shagged me.

The first movie came and went, but the second one was like an event! I just remember, around the time the 1st one came out, every time I turned on MTV, it was Austin Powers dancing. It got annoying fast, so I didn't go see the movie. But, in the summer of '99 when I was about 14, I dated a girl who was obsessed with Austin Powers (mostly Seth Green lol), so we went and saw it in the theaters.... then about 10 more times lol. We would get dropped off there almost every day. That was a GREAT summer to practically live at the movie theater; South Park, Phantom Menace, Big Daddy, The Haunting. Anyway, after falling in love with the 2nd movie, I needed to see the 1st. I couldn't find a copy of it for months. None of the 3 video stores across two towns had it. So, I eventually was able to order a copy through my friends at good old VideoPlus. It was worth the wait, and I actually still have it. Sorry for the nostalgic rant. Haven't thought about that in a long time.

I love the Austin Powers movies. I saw them in reverse order, with Goldmember being first as a friend of mine, who almost became my girlfriend, and I went to see it in theatres after we'd tried to see Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones, but couldn't get together until after Attack of the Clones had left theatres. So we saw Goldmember instead. I loved it, and then, six months later, The Spy Who Shagged Me aired on TV on New Year's Eve 2002, and I taped it and watched it on New Year's Day. Then International Man of Mystery aired on TV the next year, and I taped THAT as well. Eventually I got all three movies on DVD and I watch them every so often. Great video Scotty!

Mike Myers took the Lorne Michaels impression from Dana Carvey. Dana has talked about it in interviews and said he didn't speak to Myers for years

Growing up watching goldmember so much i memorized the whole script No idea how but i still quote it the most to this day

The all Austin power film are free on KZfaq for now

It’s not forgotten, Hollywood remakes this movie and Dewey Cox every year. They just call them something else lol

I got to meet Verne at the Beverly center in 2015 or so. He was so pleasant. RIP.

Mike Myers being a behind the scenes jerk and the franchise wearing itself out is why we havent seen anymore past the third movie. I remember at one point they were planning on a Austin Powers prequel that took its lead from the flashback sequences in Goldmember. Thank goodness that never happened.

I thought the third one was rather weak. They had a bunch of guest stars in it and it just fell flat. The problem is it's also a parody that damaged the old Bond films. Now we have James Blonde doing a new style that's too much like the Jason Bourne movies.

My mother, baby sister and I traveled to Hollywood in the summer of 1999, and I vividly remember seeing a giant poster of Austin Powers on the side of a skyscraper. My mom bought me a Dr. Evil t-shirt while we were there. At some point that same summer (likely after we came back home) she also bought me an Austin Powers magnetic dartboard. Like other people mentioned, the Spy Who Shagged Me sequel was a huge event. It was everywhere.

Honestly in my opinion goldmember is the funniest in the series but the spy who shagged me is the best in the series

I didn't know that about Jim Carrey being too busy with Liar Liar! I'm glad both movies still exist with their excellent castings!

7:08 Oh I definitely miss him. I believe his real name is Pat LaFontaine. I recall that not long after he died film studios hired somebody to basically impersonate him in trailers. But from what I do recall that didn't actually last too long. Speaking of epic voices, the guy who does honest trailers on KZfaq, his real name is Jon Bailey by the way, Now he doesn't just do parody trailers but I've actually heard his real voice be used in actual trailers for movies now on occasion.

I love Austin Powers! I always laugh when he punches "women" that turned out to be men. 🤛 "That ain't no woman! That's a man, baby!'

I admit that there was a time where I wasn't thinking about the Austin Powers films as much but actually interestingly enough my wife got me back into watching them again. I didn't see the first one in theaters In fact the first one I saw was despite who shack me I saw that in theaters then I saw international Man of mystery at home sometime after. I saw Gold member in theaters. And I know for sure that all three of the films I watched multiple times on DVD back in the day. Then I just stopped watching them. However like myself, my own wife actually does have some nostalgic memories of this film franchise and I don't remember it was last year or the year before but we watched all three films binge the law on Netflix. We don't have Netflix anymore because they keep bringing up the price and we're trying out other streaming sites, but we watched it again when it showed up on Hulu all three movies. I think that was earlier this year. So to us it's still pretty relevant just because we actually still watch them from time to time, not to mention we like to quote the film every now and then as well

Dr Evil: Scotty don't! Scotty: No, no, it's "Scotty Dunn". Dr Evil: SCOTTY DON'T!

1999 was, I think, the best year of the 90s. Several pop-culturally groundbreaking movies came out, such as Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (even if you didn't wind up liking the movie, the hype, marketing and media presence for it was through the roof). Very few movies make that same impact anymore, where you hear every other person quoting them, or you see every other thing on TV making fun of them. The Mummy didn't make quite the same cultural impact as the aforementioned, but it was successful at the box office and remains a cult classic, and it was my favorite movie from that year when I was a kid. Not to mention, the economy was great in 1999, and we were all looking forward to a brand new millennium.

What about that Super Bowl commercial from 2022, Baby Me

Feels so weird seeing all the hype around Austin Powers growing up. I remember plenty of parodies on various kids shows I watched. Also pretty funny looking back 😆

It's crazy to know that the cancellation of Wayne's World being one of my favorite movies of all time led to Austin Powers, also being one of my weird guilty pleasure. Wayne and Austin were the first two Funko pops I got when I was in middle school.

so crazy u mentioned the movie voice guy because I was dead just thinking about him 3 days ago. he made everything seem epic. I was hoping Hollywood would hire the honest trailers guy!!

These movies have been a yearly tradition for me for about 15 years. I'm also part of a twitch community that loves these movies. We use Minime as an emoji for mods in discord. And we use a Dr. Evil emote as well.

Gives a whole new meaning to “Gone in 60 Seconds.”

"The Love Guru" bombed so hard that it ruined his Solo career...

Dr Evil making quotations with his hands: "FORGOTTEN"

Good video my dude 👍 Gave me a lot of ideas for how to frame videos and stuff. Loved Austin powers as a teen it was at the right time for sure.

My name is Austin and I think I speak for all of us when I say that is the typical acknowledgement you receive when meeting people at times lol. Also my dude Northernlion references Austin powers quotes atleast once or twice a week lol

Just discovered your channel through this video. Great video, man! Keep up the good work! I would love to see more videos about "forgotten" comedy movies or franchises from the late 90s and early 00s that were a big deal when they were released but are barely talked about now.. Zoolander is another I can think about, Old School from 2003, which was like the breakthrough of Will Ferrell as a lead in big studio movies. Gonna check your other videos now 😊

There would be so much material for an Austin Powers 4 right now.

I was 9 when these movies started coming out, I definitely havent forgot it. All the movies are on KZfaq for free right now

Movies that I still quote: Talladega Nights, Superbad, Step Brothers, Pineapple Express, etc.. there’s a lot more. Those are just the ones that come to mind that have came out since Austin Powers

"why does no one talks about Austin Powers Anymore?" I do, that's why I don't get much time to talk when in a group with my friends. They KNOW I will mention Austin Powers, no matter the situation.

R.I.P. Don LaFontaine, your legendary voice will never be forgotten.

It’s my new Fourth of July movie marathon tradition

My dad asked me why I was laughing so hard in my room, well Austin power has comedy of urgent need.

I remember watching these a lot as a kid. Probably on TV in early 2000s. I never saw them in the cinema myself as I was too young but I did watch them a lot whenever they were on. I probably had the VHS/DVD near the middle of the decade but haven't seen them since then, and yeah, even as a kid I would quote the movie randomly although lines that others didn't like "What does it all mean, Basil" over the others. I actually have a pretty vague memory of my two brothers going to watch Goldmember in the cinema (I was too young at the time) and the coming back around 30 minutes later with around 30-40 packs of Pokémon cards. It turned out that something at the cinema went wrong and they couldn't show the movie which meant that everyone got a refund AND they gave away promotional Pokemon booster packs that they had for the 2nd or 3rd movie left over so we spent the rest of the afternoon opening up those packs that all had the same cards in it. Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Lugia and Ho-oh. A shame I didn't keep a few, they'd probably be worth hundreds now.

My daughter's mom tried to show them to her and she thought they were disgusting. Personally, I think they're just products of their time. I don't hate the movies, I definitely talk to my friends about standout scenes. I just haven't had the inclination to re-watch them in the last 20 years. Your video though, Scotty, was well done. I really enjoyed it.

Great video bro - lots of cool things I didn't know here

I was in 11th grade when Austin Powers first came out. I saw it in theaters and was hooked. I recently re-watched the first one and thought, "Wow! What a time capsule of 90's pop culture." Still charming and hilarious.

It's not a forgotten franchise, it's a classic movie trilogy that doesn't need anymore films Just because Hollywood isn't digging up its corpse and milking it dry doesn't make it "forgotten"

It doesn't feel forgotten, just in its place in the world because not everything needs 10 sequels

Super underrated channel, keep going thanks.

"Dixie Normous"?! Is that EVEN a REAL NAME?!😂

I still make Austin Power references and quote him weekly, he’s my British Duke Nukem

Austin Powers have forgotten franchise 😂😂😂 memes are still used gifts are still used people still use phrases from Austin Powers 🙄

i recently rewatched all 3 movies and i got 2 take aways 1. people were way too hard on goldmember at the time it released, sure it is probably the weakest but it's still FANTASTIC. and 2. they hold up amazingly well

that teaser trailer is brilliant lol.

De-thaw means to freeze. Once upon a time, Mr. Myers had a fourth film in the works, but then he made that awful Guru movie and that sort of killed any momentum he had and any pull he used to have in Hollywood. He then chose, I'm going to assume because he has enough money; to concentrate on his family and working on small projects like cameo appearances in films like Inglorious Basterds and Bohemian Rhapsody. I have a great idea for a fourth film, but - sadly - Mr. Myers is not returning my phone calls.

Another great retrospective!

Amazing! Thank you! 🙏

Not forgotten at all. I still find this franchise referenced fairly frequently and should be honored for stopping when it did so it wouldn't be ran into the ground like so many franchises today.

i’ll always love austin powers probably the first raunchy comedy i saw as a kid

KZfaq Recommended I used to always watch Goldmember with Pop Pop. We eventually watched the first two in 2009 after I rented them on Netflix.

Forgotten? Wtf are you even talking about? They aired a new SNL episode 2 months ago that featured Mike Myer as Austin Powers

I will always remember and love all three Austin Powers movies. That's mainly due to the fact that I was born in 1987. Couldn't escape it during the 90s and I'm okay with that.

also there is a last year super Bowl ad with Dr. Evil and Scott Evil with his son to try a new car of the ad; I like how natural it feel like a natural continuation of the movie

My dad took me too see the second and third Austin power’s movies. We were those two guys who’d go every weekend! Great memories!

I'm more impressed that you did I pilot co-starring with Jacob Wysocki than with Verne Troyer.

When I was really sick with Covid and felt like I was almost dying, all I wanted to watch was Austin Powers

I'll be honest I grew up watching these movies (unsupervised tv access was great) and James Bond but just now understood the joke behind the title Gold Member. Biggest "whoosh" moment.

My family quote these movies constantly lol

Sam I first saw that trailer for Austin 2! Didn't even know a sequel was coming!

Fun fact: Susannah Hoffs from the Bangles is married to Jay Roach and was also in Ming Tea.

It's not forgotten though it won't be remembered fondly for 3 main reasons (imo): 1) When cable was watched by the majority of people, reruns had the opportunity to cement themselves as classics. For example, Home Alone, Friends, The Office, 007 complete collection during Christmas season. Now, media consumption is different - people watch something then onto the next. 2) Most (comedic) references were made when the movie was release - technology, politics, and behaviour. Its hard for modern audiences to understand the jokes. 3) Speaking of Modern Audiences, most humour then would seem extremely insensitive, racist, misogynistic, etc; you know the whole PC thing. Audiences today get offended at (pretty) much everything. Therefore, it's hard to "pass on" this movie onto future generations.

Austin Powers was the first movie I ever purchased, it was a gift for my mother and she loved it. VHS tape.

Glad this popped up in my feed, still think and quote this movie to this day. A sequel could never be competently made due to current cultural situation.

I can remember when a Coworker (Yes, I'm old) came to me and told me about that very funny new Movie called Austin Powers on Video. I had never heard of that before, I didn't even knew it was in Cinemas.

I'm so curious about Plum Island. I can't find info on it anywhere. Was that Kaitlin Olson in the clip?

Hold on, wacking the subscribe button

Same with Rob Schneider and Deuce Bigelow like these movies were my life lol

I heard rumors years ago about a forth AP movie where Dana Carvey was supposed to be the new villain 😂 Would be Great!

Oh no. Austin Powers is a cult favorite. He's one of my favorite characters of all time

The Last Time We Saw Austin Powers Was In Space Jam A New Legacy with Elmer Fudd replacing Mini Me played by the late Verne Troyer and Sylvester as the Shaved Cat I miss this franchise at least Friday got a crappy Adult Cartoon on MTV2 and Rush Hour got a CBS TV Show that was really really awful It had Jin Kazama from Tekken playing Jackie Chan's Character Lee

Also, that pilot you were in looked really interesting!!! I would have liked to see that!

As a huge fan of the series, I feel like not only did we get burned out by the third movie, but the movie kind of sold out. The first was an original movie with passion, and the 2nd retained that but with a budget. But I feel like the 3rd movie felt like a product. Putting celebrities in and often just for the hell of it. It also repeats too much from the 2nd movie.

I wouldn’t say it’s forgotten. I’d say it’s a well remembered era of films that ran their course. As in, they did what they intended to do and there’s no reason for them to continue.

1:22 i can name about a million…Borat, Superbad, Anchorman, Step brothers, etc.

If Austin powers were done now and had the same time difference, it would start around when the original movie aired and then he’d be frozen and wake up now. The first movie was truly great and classic, the others were worse and worse.

Forgotten??? It's beloved

No mention of the Derek Flint movies as inspiration for Austin Powers? Austin Powers literally took the ring tone for the president's phone from those movies.

I'll never forget the Austin Powers movies. I still quote the movies regularly

I still remember this series

Austin Powers will forever be the greatest spy of all time

Forgotten? People still say "one million dollars!" with a pinky to the corner of the mouth and anyone short is subject to Mini Me jokes. 3 films in a trilogy and done does not constitute "forgotten". We may think it is today since every damn franchise now has to have endless sequels, series and spin offs.

Napoleon Dynamite came out in 2004, it's turning 20 this year

Forgotten? Really?
