Saturday we did an Austin Powers marathon. These movies were in the category "still haven't seen them". They just change category :-)
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is the first installment. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the second part, and Austin Powers in Goldmember concludes it.
My opinion: lot of cameo appearances, but not from any of the James Bond stars (even though Sean Connery was apparently considered to play Nigel Powers, according to IMDB). Definitely, these movie show a lot of references to a lot of espionage genre movies, and others. I find it much more subtle than the various spoof movies so far. Mike Myers show again a good versatility in comedy.
Fortunately they stopped with the third movie, and that's probably good as it really started showing its limits.

Re-watched Wayne's World today. Do I need to present this "classic"?
