Upon learning that his father has been kidnapped, Austin Powers must travel to 1975 and defeat the aptly named villain Goldmember, who is working with Dr. Evil.
Dr. Evil is back and has invented a new time machine that allows him to go back to the 1960s and steal Austin Powers' mojo, inadvertently leaving him "shagless".
Popular Broadway actor Gary Johnston is recruited by the elite counter-terrorism organization Team America: World Police. As the world begins to crumble around him, he must battle with terrorists, celebrities and falling in love.
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, returns from a spiritual quest to investigate the disappearance of a rare white bat, the sacred animal of a tribe in Africa.
He's found his mojo, baby, and now Austin Powers is back again in this shagadelic comedy-adventure! The "sshhh!" hits the fan when Dr. Evil and Mini-Me escape from prison. Joining forces with the superfreaky Goldmember, they kidnap Austin's father, master spy Nigel Powers, in a dastardly time-travel scheme to take over the world. Before you can say "Shake Your Booty," Austin cruises to 1975 and teams up with sexy Foxxy Cleopatra to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember from their mischievous mayhem.Written by

The actor portraying the doctor giving physical exams on the submarine is the same that played the guard giving Austin his belongings and his penis enlarger pump in the first movie. See more »

I enjoyed the first two Austin Powers movies for what they were. Well made, unpretentious romps.
So, tonight I watched Goldmember on Stars cable channel. When it was over, the screen said, "Coming up next: Halloween, The Curse Of Michael Meyers."
-And it suddenly dawned on me: I had just SEEN the Curse of Michael Myers. Arrggghhh.
Beonce Knowles is worth a look, though. She's hot, adorable, and can even act, at least within the confines of her limited dialog in this movie.
Actually, the best part of this movie is the very last song under the credits, with Susannah Hoffs singing "What's it all about, Austin" -A somewhat veiled pun, as "What's it all about, Alfie" was the theme song from one of the earliest movies starring Michael Cain, who of course plays Austin's father in this flick.
-and that's the best part.
Really.
Stay tuned for "Austin Powers 4, the revenge of the script writers."
