Austin Powers - Groovy Facts, Baby!
Singer Beyonce Knowles, from Destiny's Child, makes her big screen debut as Austin Powers' love interest, Foxxy Cleopatra.
Britney Spears, Danny DeVito, Kevin Spacey, Ozzy Osbourne, Gwenyth Paltrow and other celebs (we don't want to spill all of them) have cameo appearances in the film. It's also rumored that Tom Cruise may be making a mini appearance too.
Austin Powers: Goldmember was filmed in Burbank and Los Angeles, California and also in St. Albans and Hertfordshire, England.
Mike Myers, the genius behind Austin Powers, plays the roles of Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard and the new evil character, Goldmember in Austin Powers: Goldmember.
Like just about everything in the Austin Powers trilogy, the title Goldmember pokes fun at the 1964 James Bond title Goldfinger. The title was just about scrapped because of copyright issues with MGM.
Austin Powers in Goldmember is the third flick in the series and unfortunately the last secret mission for The International Man of Mystery. That sucks, Mr. Bigglesworth! He won't do another flick - not even for... one million dollars?
The shagadelic spy vehicle in Austin Powers: Goldmember is a new Mini Cooper. It isn't an ordinary Mini though, this Mini is painted with the British Union Jack design.
Mike Myers is soooo good at being funny that Britney Spears had a hard time keeping it together during the filming. "I was so excited," says Britney. "I've seen the first two films and I think Mike's the funniest man in the world. It was hard to keep in character, trying to be this sexy vixen while he did pelvic dances and cracked me up."
Get ready for plenty of laughs, groovy tunes, lots of adventure, funky clothes, cool cars, big hair and a psychedelic, smashing good time! Until then, check out the one of the grooviest sites on the Web, www.austinpowers.com!
