GROOOOVY BABY, YEAH! This movie was so much fun! Not the deepest or most emotional movie of all time but it doesn't have to be! Mike Myers is amazing as both Austin Powers and Dr. Evil and some of the lines in this thing must be iconic.
Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)
Psst. Don't tell anyone I mentioned it but there is a word (accrue) that does mean what you were saying. :)
@RolyPolyOllie Reactions -- The character "Austin Powers" was inspired by a real life Hollywood socialite of the 1960s, Austin Pendleton, and who portrayed the very type-cast role of "Mr. Larabee" in that best-of-genre flick "What's Up Doc?", starring Ryan O'Neil of "Love Story" and "Paper Moon" fame, a hard to find you-don't-need-to-be-a-fan-to-like-it performance by Barbra Streisand, and a totally over-the-top chews-up-the-scenery performance by Madeline Kahn whom you remember from "Mrs. White" in "Clue".
In fact, I'm really hoping to seduce you into the masterpiece Ryan O'Neil trifecta of "Love Story", "What's Up Doc?" and "Paper Moon". None are "clickbait" titles, but your viewers who DO watch will not regret them in the least. Nor will you. I'm certain.
Following on from your Bond marathon is the perfect time to watch this! And I love that you picked up on how clever it is. Mike Myers wrote it as a love letter to the movies he grew up watching with his Dad - classic Bond but also more serious spy movies like The Ipcress File and more spoofy ones like Our Man Flint or the 1967 Casino Royale. All those references are a great genius bonus if you know them, but if you don't it still works perfectly. We can enjoy it on a clever and dumb level at the same time.
The composer Burt Bacharach whom Austin introduces at one point in the movie also composed the songs in the first James Bond parody, the 1967 Casino Royale.
This movie also reminds me alot of the 60's TV series Get Smart. Max was the goofy one and 99, the girl agent, was the smart organized one.
The guy that gets rolled over by the tractor 🚜 was "stuart" from SNL and is one of my fav comedic persons. He isn't very famous but he never fails to make me laugh
“I love the guy on the left”
the bald guy “on the left” at space control is in real life the younger brother of
actor/director Ron Howard
this scene was an homage to a similar scene he played in the movie Apollo 13, directed by his brother Ron
Ron’s little brother pops up in tiny roles like this throughout his life, mostly in his big brother Ron’s gigs throughout Ron’s career, as a childstar actor in the classic 60s show “Andy griffith show”, as a teenstar actor in the 70s smash tvseries “happy days”, and then as a big shot director now for decades
And playing Balok, the alien from one of the very first Star Trek episodes when he was about 6 years old!
And his character in Happy Days was called Richie Cunningham as well lol
This was such a great time at the movie theater. Mike Myers will always be a comedic genius for these movies. Plus Wayne's World. Plus, So I Married An Ax Murderer. All worth a viewing.
Great trilogy! Good choice! 😄👍
Knowing all the Bond films makes an already hilarious spy comedy flick even funnier!
I hope you do Wayne's World 2 at some point among the Austin Powers trilogy? :D
Oh and you MUST check out 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' Myers plays the lead and his Scottish Father. The title kinda sums it up, very underated and extremely funny!
Thanks, Ollie! ☮ This is really cute and, as you noticed, very brilliant in its way... as are the remainder of the series. I'm particularly fond of AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER (2002). I'm glad you'll be reacting to all of 'em.
Bond is only part of the spoof in Austin Powers. They also parody the Flint movies (Our Man Flint & In Like Flint). They are very campy and worth checking out.
I was going to say the same thing. As a young Brit I saw both Flint films on TV and instantly loved them (also a big Bond fan). Loved them so much that I imported the US Twilight Time blu-rays. Has anyone seen the Matt Helm films? are they a Bond style spoof?
This came out when I was in high school. Heard Austin Powers quotes non stop in the hallways haha.
Elizabeth Hurley sat in the back of my police cruiser once and we spent time chatting. She was very nice.
I remember back in the day when my friends brought me to watch this and I didn't expect much from it. But boy! It took me off guard unknowingly how hilarious it was. Everyone in the audience went crazy wild. The second one was ok. But the last one with Beyonce was cheesy goodness. It cracked me up so much that I almost spit out to the guy in front of me. And not to spoil it but the cameos were out totally unexpected.
I'm telling ya, man...your James Bond experience isn't over until you've watched the 1967 Casino Royale starring David Niven and Peter Sellers.
There are so many other movie and pop culture references in this movie other than just the Bond references, which you probably wouldn't have picked up on.
The musical ringtone for example is actually the exact ringtone for the presidential phone in the popular, (probably one of THE most popular James Bond spoofs) Our Man Flint from 1966. And the Mrs Kensington character, Austin's partner at the beginning of the film is a nod to the Emma Peel character from the long running British spy series from the 1960's The Avengers which had a male and female spy dynamic duo. You've seen the 1966 Batman. Think that but with secret agents. Emma Peel was played by Diana Rigg who went on to portray Tracy Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
There are other things like the Femme-bots, which turned up in another spy spoof from the 60's, Some Girls Do and even The Bionic Woman TV show in the 1970's. The whole look and style of the film, particularly the fashions is also very reflective of the James Bond spoof Casino Royale from 1967. Burt Bacharach who has a cameo in Austin powers was responsible for the music score in Casino Royale 1967.
The opening credits scene is a parody of the opening credits of the Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night, a fantastic film you should check out!
I love love loved this movie when it came out when I was in high school,and yes the impressions were rampant 🤣
The intro song is still catchy as hell,and as my mom put it,if you dance in the street,no one can touch you 🤣 🤣🤣
The Asian guy who throws shoes is actually in jail for murder. It's a case of art mirroring life.
Just started and the flower on the cover is of course because of the 60’s flower child movement. I Love yellow hippy daisies. I was born a decade too late.
I saw a really good show about people's faces and how your brain recognizes them. It was hosted by John Cleese and Liz Hurley was his assistant. Her face is literally perfect based on the Golden Ratio.
The theme Secret Agent Man was composed for the spy series Danger Man and Johnny Rivers made it very popular.
The Airforce controller (guy on the left) was Clint Howard, brother of renowned actor/director Ron Howard.
And the U.N. Rep that Dr. Evil corrected on his title was also in Star Trek DS9-as Dr. Bashir's father, Richard Bashir in "Dr. Bashir I Presume?"
Yes. And he was a bad man. A very, very bad man. Jerry!!
It's not just James Bond but some other old spy movies too. Plus Demolition Man.
The Myers movies also referenced James Coburn’s Flynt movies as well as the Avengers. There were a spawn of spy stuff
I couldn't wait for you to get to these! These films are Mike Myers best!
This also takes stuff from a Mel Brooks TV show called "Get Smart".
They’re always after me Lucky Charms. I love this film. The Austin Powers trilogy are comedy classics. Even better after seeing In Like Flint and 007 films.
The How did I get in this nutshell? moment seems really improvised and really funny.
That General also played a General in the Star Trek DS9 episode "Little Green Men". He also played a Space Hippie in the Classic Star Trek episode "The Way to Eden"
The other guy the General was talking to was also on Classic Star Trek (as a child-sized alien in the episode "The Corbomite Maneuver") and in the second part of the Star Trek DS9 2-part episode "Past Tense" as a 'Dim'
He is Clint Howard, younger brother of Ron Howard
The general was alsro murdoch in rambo 2
Let's not forget his role as Tucker McElroy from the epic "The Blue Brothers"
Carrot Top movie was called "Chairman of the Board". Think it was about surfing.
"Is the "Board" spelled b-o-r-e-d?" - Norm MacDonald
Yes. Norm on Conan with Courtney Thorne Smith was hilarious.
Those transitions are homages to LAUGH-IN, very big in the late 60s.
you really need to see the original Casino Royal and the original TV version of James Bond, the TV pilot Casino Royal. Made in the 50's. Also all the original pink panther films
Love these ones, they've always been a favourite since I was younger. I believe this was actually Will Ferrell's first movie role, he'd just been on SNL a couple of years at that point. Can't wait to see you watch the other two!
Oh man, this movie was a wild fire when it first came out. Everyone was saying "Yeah Baby, Yeah". All the office parties had an Austin Powers costume show up. There will be a lot of Bond influences in the next couple movies as well that I know you will enjoy. But at the beginning of the next one, you will see them give a shout out to one of the Major influences, the Flint movies.
We need more Austin Powers costumes at parties nowadays
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions hey can you please wear gloves and watch austin powers international man of mystery
The Carrot Top movie came out the following year. "Chairman of the Board" It was hilarious. It also has one or two Bond references in it.
"Scott, I want you to meet Daddy's nemesis, Austin Powers."
"What, are you feeding him? Why don't you just kill him?"
"No, Scott. I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death."
"Why don't you just shoot him now? I mean, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot him together. It'll be fun. Bang! Dead. Done."
Fun Fact: Mike Myers originally wanted Jim Carrey to play Dr. Evil, but Carrey eventually passed due to scheduling conflicts with Liar Liar (1997). Myers then took the iconic role himself.
Happenstance, Coincidence, Enemy Action Fact: Dr. Evil's appearance (bald head, gray suit, scar over his eye, cat on his lap) is based on James Bond's archnemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld portrayed by Donald Pleasence in You Only Live Twice (1967). Ironically, Pleasance was the star of the Halloween franchise where his archnemesis was named Michael Myers.
Real Life Supervillian Fact: Joe Son, the actor who played Random Task, is serving a lifetime prison sentence for the torture of a 19-year-old woman in 1990. He went uncaptured until 2008 when a DNA match linked him to the crime. According to the victim, she unknowingly had a copy of this movie in her home until her attacker's identity was revealed. In 2017, he was sentenced to an additional 27 years for murdering his cellmate.
I'm so glad Myers took the role for himself Dr. Evil is literally perfect
Saw this film and the second movie in theaters as a kid. They definitely shaped my sense of humor! Everyone was quoting Austin Powers!
It's a really enjoyable movie, although it's actually more of a parody of a parody. That's because it has more in common with the original Casino Royale film from the 1960's which took the mickey out of the James Bond genre. Fun reaction as well.
This was one of my favorites growing up even though I'd never seen a Bond movie. I was a big fan of Mike Myers through Wayne's world so anything he did was gold to me back then. My dad even bought me a book of all the slang used in the movie which was a big hit in the schoolyard, reading words like "mudflaps". Thanks for the memories!
Into song is SOUL BOSSA NOVA by the great QUINCY JONES.
Part of Mike Myers's reasoning for choosing this song was an homage to a popular Canadian game show he'd watch during his childhood called Definition (hosted by Jim Perry, had a nice 15-year run from 1974-1989). Soul Bossa Nova was the theme song for the game show Definition.
There's a blonde chick in one of the musical transitions i had such a crush on....for 20 years
couldn't find the actress name. anytime i rewatched it i'd remember her and go google it for an hour.
Alicia Silverstone?
@@marcballard9428 i believe she was a fembot, not a transition hippie
Liz Hurley was so great in this.
Another movie with Elizabeth Hurley in it that's pretty funny is called 'Bedazzled' from the year 2000 you should check out.
The main thing I remember most from this film is that it taught Americans that shag = sex, before this film the average Yank would have assumed that shag simply mean shagpile carpet.
The best part of the Judo chop joke is Judo doesn't have chops.
"Who does Number Two work for..?"
7:12 the transitions are an ode to the laugh In
Daniel Craig is the absolute most badass Bond EVER.
Had a Austin Powers-marathon awhile ago, and I can tell you that this first and the second film are equally funny, the third one has a fantastic intro, but that's about it, too bad.
I think the movies get better as they go. So, I rank them in reverse order with the 3rd being best and liking the 1st the least.
Right after you look up the Carrot Top movie (and its Rotten Tomatoes score) you should watch "Norm Macdonald & Courtney Thorne-Smith | Late Night with Conan O’Brien". You won't be sorry.
Still blows my mind... ive seen the trilogy multiple times and Carrie Fisher is in the first movie.... NEVER NOTICED !!! Lmao. I saw your empire strikes back poster and reminded me yet again lol can't wait for you to see the other 2
─ Hey! There you are!
─ Hi! Do I know you?
─ No, but that's where you are, you are there!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
A shame Meyers recent Netflix series didn't do well. I like his humor/improv and playing 5 characters. For more serious 60s spy films, check out Michael Caine's Harry Palmer films IPCRESS FILES, FUNERAL IN BERLIN, BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN. Caine even appears as Austin's dad in the 3rd Powers movie.
If you would like another set of Spy comedy movies, there is the Johnny English movies starring Rowan Atkinson
The Carrot Top movie was Chairman of the Board. It was . . . not well-received, to put it nicely.
Love Norm Macdonald on Conan teasing Courtney Thorne-Smith about that movie.
A lot of nods to James Bond - the body hair is one to Sean Connery when he was Bond. Dr. Evil's plastic suit is a nod to Dr. No.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the best one. The third movie is a big letdown. This was a fun start, though.
The only thing that would have made this better was if Oliver had also watched a couple Matt Helm or Flint movies, and maybe a few episodes of Get Smart.
So good you watched all the Bond films. You're set.
Sheer good fun, don't try to analyze or overthink this. GROOOOVY BABY, YEAH!
It's true. The movie is very funny even if you have never watched a Bond movie. But, if you do know Bond movies, it makes the Austin Powers movies more enjoyable and much more hilarious.
groovy
Great you finally saw this movie. Next see Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. CUZ they speak about the same thing. You all know what i mean. ahem. my favorite line? "That's not a woman baby, it's a man! yeah!"
Austin is such a goof and the bad guys are so much funnier and interesting than he is.makes these movies so awesome.
Great reaction. Yeah baby yeah!!!
This is a spoof of all 60s spy movies
Our Man Flint 67 Casino Royale and the Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin
Ok... just found ya but gotta see your James Bond reactions before you seen this now lol. Austin Powers is sooooo clever and wouldn't surprise me if some of it was improv. No idea if you've watched Wayne's world but if you haven't you gotta dude
Thanks for checking the video out and yeah I have reacted to Wayne's World! :)
How is this guy so cute???
Burt Bacharach died February 8th 2023.
Im glad you watched this after your JB session, it's gotta ge done
When are you reacting to Wayne's world 2?
This one is pretty good, as are all 3 of them, but it does not have mini me in it, the other 2 movies did. And my favorite is the spy who shagged me. My least favorite is Goldmember.
Yes,that is Will Ferrell 🤣🤣
To anyone thinking of having kids. And as a little joke put Danger as a middle name said kids
Do not do it. Terrible idea. That’s actually what they become
A freaking danger yo
Please watch So i Married an Axe Murderer with Mike Myers
These are great movies..I think you'll find "Goldmember" is the best but all worth watching for sure..
1 and 3 are my favorite over number 2 but there all great
Also waitging for Casino Royal 1967 and Get Smart
Fun triology for sure! But Watch another comedy from the 90s - a fish called wanda!
You’re going to enjoy the last 2 movies from Austin powers.
24:09 *SECRET AGENT MAN* by Johnny Rivers, excellent song! czcams.com/video/6iaR3WO71j4/video.html
Hi have you watched" the thing" from John Carpenter?
I have! :) such an insane movie
15:07 » I trained so hard at that shit when a kid, my friends laughed so much at this stupid stuff 😆😆
You gotta react to ( IF LOOKS COULD KILL ) 1991🔥 it is a James Bond type of film for highschoolers…
Maybe you should try Michael Caine as Harry Palmer. The anti Bond
1 and 3 edge out 2 but there all great
This movie almost destroyed the James Bond franchise.
great movie for what it is. best one of the franchise. sadly the US version had a funny scene cut out. the henchman who was killed with the steamroller had a family who was shown getting a call informing them of his death. his drinking buddies then got a call of his death too. i'm sure it's on youtube if you ever want to see it
That scene was actually in the international release? It’s a deleted scene that came with the DVD, but I had no idea it was ever actually released in the movie somewhere.
@@trekkiejunk the more you know. here in Australia and probably the UK, that scene is in the actual movie. idk if you've seen the first Ace Ventura film but there's a scene where Jim Carry pretends to be a German dolphin trainer which is in the dvd release of the film but not the blu-ray version.
*Please react to the sequel*
🤣
I can't tell if your laugh is fake or not lmao
nice u can see there was so much thought into these gimmicks. these rnt dumb movies lol
The years before the 80’s were very hairy. Lol
Please watch “Selena “ 1997
The whole movie is scripted. Perhaps it’s because I come from a background in comedy, but I’m always fascinated by people that wonder if a lot of the comedy in comedy films was improvised. Almost never is that the case. In fact, when they do improvise, it’s almost always discussed with the director on set, and then added, often with multiple takes. Truly improvised lines that make it to a final cut is exceedingly rare.
It’s interesting also when people watch the Marx Brothers films and think that Groucho ad-libbed all his lines when he very, very rarely did that.
Never quite liked Mike Myers ( not surprised nobody watched his Netflix show ) .
This first Austin Powers was good though ,
You should look up the word "script".
