Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorge Harrison was a big fan of the Austin Powers franchise. The very last letter he wrote was to Mike Myers, praising him for his work. The letter was never mailed but coincidentally ended up in Myers' hands the day the former Beatle died eight months before the release of Goldmember. It was on that day during the scene for the Hollywood movie version ("starring" Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito, and "directed" by Steven Spielberg) of Austin Powers' "biopic" was shot. Prior to that moment, Myers had never met Harrison and "cried like a baby" when he received the letter, which is now in a frame in his home.
- GoofsGoldmember curses in German, rather than Netherlands Dutch.
- Quotes
Nigel Powers: There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
- Crazy creditsThe credit for the company that created the animatronic sharks reads: "Sharks with frickin laser beams"
- Alternate versionsIn Roboto's office, the subtitles read "Please eat some shit" when blocked by a white tea kettle on his desk. Apon moving it, the full subtitle reads "Please eat some shitake mushrooms." In the TV version, it's changed to "Please eat some dung" and when fully uncovered reads "Please eat some Dungeness crab."

Featured review
Austin's Anatomy
While the first two Austin Powers films in this comedic series concentrated on spoofing the late '60s/early '70s, James Bond movies and concentrated on female anatomy in the process, this one was centered on penises. I kid you not. (Hence, the title, a play-on-words from "Goldfinger.")
I watched this film twice, within two weeks of each as I showed a friend the second time. The first time I thought it wasn't as funny overall as the other two Powers films and was a bit too raunchy, especially for the PG-13 rating which is ridiculous. After the second viewing, I changed my mind about the comedy (not the rating): it is just as funny if not more than the other two.
A couple of the scenes were hilarious, although very crude in spots but some of the crudeness is what makes it funny. However, most of time I laughed more at the many subtle double entendres and all the double takes by Mike Myers, who plays at least four characters in here...all of them very well.
It's goofy, stupid and nothing spectacular but definitely fast-moving and entertaining. If you've seen the other Austin Powers films, you know what this basically is going to be, humor-wise.
Beyonce Knowles, who played the female lead, didn't have the beauty or body of Heather Graham or Elizabeth Hurley, stars of the other two films, but she isn't bad. There are numerous cameo appearances in here, starting right off the bat with Tom Cruise.
Overall: sick (again) but funny (again.)
