It's The 20th Anniversary of Austin Powers

Saw all of these multiple times as a kid, can't remember anything about them

Been meaning to rewatch to see if they hold up

Austin Powers 4 when?

>>82361013
Austin Powers had so many things that were virtually real life memes before memes were a thing.

I couldn't even count the amount of catch phrases people kept repeating from it when Spy who Shagged me came out.

The 1st one is better but I remember the sequel having a much more significant cultural impact and I'm positive it made more money.

If the Austin Powers series had been released in the last 5 years what /tv/ memes would we have got from it?

Holy fuck I feel old now.

I don't even own A gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack.

Do people really want an Austin Powers 4? I feel like it'd go the way of Zoolander 2 if it were to actually be greenlit.

the only good part of 3 was the spoof where all those a-listers showed up

>Real life memes before memes were a thing

Memes have existed since human culture has. They aren't an internet thing. Anything that catches on and spreads from person-to-person by word of mouth is a meme, sociologically speaking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd11cRuljMk

How can this not put a smile on your face?

>>82361905
If you love 1 do not watch 2. Fight the temptation to watch it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5e8YqQihCU

>>82361013
the sequence at the beginning of 2 with doctor evil + scott on jerry springer is top tier cinema

>>82361201
>>82361932
Well we all know the term was coined by Richard Dawkins, but I always considered our internet "memes" to be a collective inside type of joke. Not that you'd ever want to fucking talk or reference 4chan outside of 4chan, but if you did, people wouldn't get what you were joking about.
I know it's not the actual definition, but I prefer it to mean "joke/reference that users of a website get/understand that outsiders don't". It's just kinda cringey when you hear people IRL say "respect mah authoritah" or "get in mah belly"

>>82361201
>If the Austin Powers series had been released in the last 5 years what /tv/ memes would we have got from it?

If it came out in the last 5 years it would have been panned and forgotten. That type of comedy isn't popular anymore

>>82361201
>>82362052
Yeah, it would have to parody current James Bond, not the good ones.

>>82362078
Current audiences don't like slapstick or silly humor anymore, and parodies will still have to wait a few more years until the taint from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer fades from memory

Blame the chinese, or more hollywood for only making movies to pander to the chinese.

Comedy is very culturally specific, and even sub cultures may not even like the same type of comedy. This is not a lucrative type of movie for hollywood to make as the chinks won't want to see a movie they don't understand.

But explosions and action and shootouts translate the same in every language

>>82362293

Honestly this is the best scene in any film that satirizes Bond villains.

>>82362052
>That type of comedy isn't popular anymore
Movies like the Love Guru killed these types of crude comedies

>>82362523
>this is the best scene in any film

>>82361013
If they were to make a fourth one, they should Terry Crews or some other funny black dude play Austin for a scene. That way they can preemptively parody the idea of a black guy playing Bond.

>"The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it."

I remember watching this movie on VHS every night three times in a row for an entire summer break. I never got tired of it. The sequels weren't nearly as good and didn't have the same rewatchability. I've been feeling a little nostalgic tonight so maybe I'll track this down.

>>82363735
I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Obviously the sequel would have to be with Austin's child. A daughter would be an interesting twist, with the same sexual humour (nothing disgustingly crude, all tongue in cheek.) Austin has lost his mojo with age, and that mojo is needed to unlock Dr. Evil's cache of world-destroying weapons. Felicity Shagwell has been kidnapped and is being held hostage, locked behind the same mojo guard as doctor evil's vault. The mysterious villain wants Austin to unlock it to give him access to the weapons. Austin realizer he never had any children, and now he can't as he wouldn't pass on any mojo. Basil exposition convinces a pre-international man of mystery austin to impregnate a girl in the 60's, who he then travels to the late 70's to collect. She's a child of the free love and sex era, Austin's daughter, Tina Powers, played by Hayley Atwell (Tina, like, t-n-a, get it?). She's a womanizing, sassy counterpart, and they team up to free Felicity and stop this villain. When they reach the vault, inside is not felicity but a frozen Dr Evil, who informs them that his own son, Scott Evil, has felicity and only needed the unlock to get his nuclear codes. The game is on!

Man I love this movie so much. I miss comedies like this in general. Any recommendations to scratch my itch?

>>82361013

I turned 39 on Sunday, thinking back to 1997 when I still felt hope for the future.....

Austin Powers
The Fifth Element
Batman & Robin
LA Confidential
Star Wars Trilogy re-release
Boogie Nights
Good Will Hunting
Men In Black
Titanic
Starship Troopers

Videostores, didn't waste time on 4chan, movie theaters arcades. I miss that era and everything since 2000 has been shit because we fell into the darkest timeline!!!FACT!!!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

1>3>2

2 introduced Mini Me and Fat Bastard, I'll give it that, but it made the mistake of "You guys liked Dr. Evil? Well, let's make 90 percent of the movie Dr. Evil!", when he's much better in small doses. Plus, the jokes just didn't hit as well for me as for 1 and 3, for whatever reason.

Where is dr evil hiding?

>>82367823
>2 was the movie that everyone remembers.
2 had a bigger marketing campaign
the first one was releasex as a typical snl castmember movie, the sequel was marketed as a bonafide franchise

>>82362165
Very few parodies ever hit the mark, they need to be capable movies on their own without the references to the original. For some reason Hollywood finds it very haRd to be able to do that

what would be better is if he had a bastard son who was completely asexual or thinks he is because his mom drilled all this rape culture bullshit into his head.

>>82362509
True.

Studied abroad in China and had a Chinese gf, she liked to watch Korean dramas so I thought she could handle foreign movies

Watched Superbad with her, and she was just confused the entire time.

Myers has had the idea for a while now, but I doubt it'll be good regardless. It could be fantastic to see Scott be a real genuine threat though and for Austin and Dr. Evil somehow still getting out of the not-stupid scenarios he cooks up for them.

>>82364282
Serious bad guy Scott Evil and serious hero Austin's child but also with aged Austin and Dr Evil, now as a bickering team, trying to help save the world.
