Austin Powers is a series of American spy action one-act films: Austin Powers: International Human being of Mystery (1997), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). The films were produced and written by Mike Myers, who as well starred as the title grapheme and Dr. Evil. They were directed by Jay Roach and distributed by New Line Cinema.
The franchise parodies numerous films and characters, including the James Bond series and Jason King, and incorporates myriad other elements of popular civilization every bit information technology follows a British spy's quest to bring his nemesis downwardly. The character represents an archetype of 1960s Swinging London, with his advocacy of complimentary dear, his utilise of obscure impressions and his clothing style.
The films poke fun at the outrageous plots, rampant sexual innuendo, and two dimensional stock characters associated with 1960s spy films.
The full general theme of the films is that the arch villain Dr. Evil plots to extort large sums of money from governments or international bodies but is constantly thwarted by Powers, and (to a degree) his ain inexperience with life and culture in the 1990s.
In Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Austin and Dr. Evil are awakened after beingness placed in cryonic suspension for thirty years. Continuing to incorporate cultural elements of the 1960s and 1970s, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Austin Powers in Goldmember feature time travel as a plot device and deliberately overlook inconsistencies. A proposed quaternary picture, Austin Powers 4, has reportedly been in evolution since 2005, merely has since been stalled.
Development [edit]
Myers himself has stated in interviews that the idea for Austin Powers came to him one night while driving dwelling from ice hockey do. Hearing the vocal "The Look of Honey" by Burt Bacharach on his car radio, he wondered "Where take all the swingers gone?" and conceived the grapheme who would become Austin Powers.
In an interview in November 2018 with Admission Hollywood, Myers stated, "Afterwards my dad died in 1991, I was taking stock of his influence on me as a person and his influence on me with one-act in full general. So Austin Powers was a tribute to my father, who [introduced me to] James Bond, Peter Sellers, The Beatles, The Goodies, Peter Melt and Dudley Moore."[one]
The Austin Powers character kickoff appeared in the band Ming Tea, with Myers as Powers, Susanna Hoffs every bit Jillian Shagwell, and Matthew Sweetness as Sid Belvedere. Myers' married woman Robin Ruzan said Myers should write a movie based on Powers.[2]
The first phrase he thought the character might say was "Practice I brand you horny?", which afterwards did indeed go a catchphrase for the character. He has likewise disclosed that the character also draws on his recollections of sometime Radio Caroline DJ Simon Dee, who hosted the kickoff real tv chat show in the United Kingdom in 1967, which ended with his driving off in a sports car with a young blonde in the passenger seat. An important inspiration for the serial is British super spy James Bond. Myers said of Bail, "I can't even tell you how huge it was in our firm ... That's actually why I wanted to practise Austin Powers. Austin Powers is out of pure love for James Bond."[3]
Though Myers is Canadian by nascence, his parents are natives of Liverpool, England, and Myers holds dual nationality. Although the films parody the plots and characters of 1960s spy movies and the Swinging London fashion scene of the era, the humour is influenced by Myers's British heritage, specially the Conduct On films and the comedic works of Benny Hill and Peter Sellers, the latter of whom Myers is a cocky confessed fan (his favorite films existence the Bond spoof Casino Royale and The Party).[4]
Austin Powers is everything I watched (on TV in the late sixties). My parents were from Liverpool, and there's no i more English language than an Englishman who no longer lives at that place. Every molecule of British civilization that came across the Atlantic was tasted and worshipped.
—Mike Myers[4]
Powers' bad teeth were created by Los Angeles dental technician Gary Archer. Myers came to Archer and told him, "I want bad British 1960s teeth", based on a widely-held stereotype. Archer took pictures of expat patrons at an English pub that he frequented in the San Fernando Valley, made sketches, and showed Myers the design. Myers told him that he had "nailed it".[5]
Influences from Sellers' films are apparent throughout the series; the character of Austin Powers reflects the inspiration of Sellers' portrayal of the character Robert Danvers in the 1970 film There's a Girl in My Soup. Myers states Powers' dandyish appearance was also inspired by that of Jason King – the adventurous character (played by Peter Wyngarde) from the ITV Spy fi series Section S who was featured in the eponymous spin off series.[6] Myers was also influenced by the comedy troupe Monty Python, with picture critic Robbie Collin writing "the Austin Powers serial chugs forth on Pythonisms."[vii]
Other apparently apparent influences are the BBC'southward Adam Determined Lives! television series, whose protagonist was a Victorian era spy, who was frozen in 1902, and and then revived in the twelvemonth 1966; The 1965 James Bond parody Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Auto, in which a mad scientist builds a small ground forces of bonny female robots; The Beatles films, The Monkees boob tube series, James Bond, and the "cocktail political party" skits from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. Powers was also influenced by the secret agent Harry Palmer (played by Michael Caine in iii films, including the 1965 film The Ipcress File).[eight] Caine himself starred in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), with his portrayal of Nigel Powers, male parent of Austin Powers, spoofing Harry Palmer.[eight]
