Austin Powers International Man of Mystery (1997)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/scope 95m
Director: Jay Roach
Cast: Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, Mimi Rogers

Synopsis:

Secret agent Austin Powers and arch enemy Dr Evil, both cryogenically frozen in 1967, are thawed out to do battle again thirty years later.

Review:

The plot, such as there is, is merely a handle on which to hang various scatological and sexist jokes based around the idea that the hero is now an anachronism, or through which to parody the 007 format (Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, etc are quoted). It barely raises a smile, often being more reminiscent of an episode of Thunderbirds crossed with a Carry On.
