The Austin Powers Collection (International Man Of Mystery / The Spy Who Shagged Me / Goldmember)

Got this for a killer price in my opinion! Got a lot of good laughs. Has all extras making this a win!

Very happy with this purchase! All three look and work great! Video case was damaged upon arrival.

I remember the pop culture craze the original Austin Powers movie made when it first came out in the 90s. These are fun movies with STUPID funny comedy that's missing in the world today. I haven't watched these in years and it's time for a good laugh. Discs came packed without any shipping damage.

A great movie collection. The movies haven't aged at all and are as funny as when they first came out.

What a good idea, putting all three Austin Powers comedies on two discs! Rumors have been floating about of Mike Myers returning for a fourth installment; however, that rumor has yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile, just sit back & enjoy these outrageous comedies. The first, "International Man of Mystery", benefits from being just that---because it's the first, it's the freshest & funniest spoof of British spy flicks. Myers really spread his parody wings on this one, undoubtedly one of the funniest films of the 90's, which is based upon a 60's fish-out-of-water character. He shows versatility in characters (can Powers and Dr. Evil be any more different?), as well as branding great catchphrases into the minds of moviegoers.Myers and director Jay Roach reunite for "The Spy Who Shagged Me", which really pushes the envelope on bathroom humor & racy jokes (especially the former with the introduction of disgusting blob-like Scottish henchman Fat Bastard) as Powers time-travels back to 1969 in pursuit of Evil as he hatches his latest bid for world domination (and gains a "son" in tiny, ill-tempered clone Mini-Me). This one has its share of groaners; but there's enough new elements to offset the bad jokes (particularly when Myers repeats old gags)."Goldmember" might be the weakest in the series; again, some jokes as the "a MILLION DOLLARS" bit have just been done too many times in which they cease to be funny. But the clever premise--a movie within a movie, with famous actors such as Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, John Travolta, etc., taking on various roles from the series--is really something to see, with a knowing wink or inside joke on the movie industry. But again, there's enough new stuff to recover from bad puns. The great Michael Caine has some cheeky moments as Powers' famous spy Dad. Myers really goes over the top this time as Dr. Evil becomes sort of a caricature of himself, there's the inclusion of a weird 70's disco-era villain (the title character), along with a climax which digresses into sort of a convoluted "family soap opera". But nevertheless, it's all good fun.Depending on your sense of humor, you'll either think these films are a grab bag of satire, puns & racy jokes, or you'll think they're simply hilarious. I thought the latter, of course! Groovy baby!

I am not a huge Mike Meyers fan. To be honest, though I loved Wayne's World. This is a must have for those who like Kitchy comedies. While a parody of sorts of James Bond flicks, like Undercover Brother, it basically tells its own story adding enough personal flavor, that it really isn't parody anymor as much as it is its own thing. One thing I should add (as I always like to hear the details as much as I can). The first copy I bought myself was a slip cover with three slimline cases (not bad, even though I prefer normal blu ray size cases not slims). And the second I purchased for a friend has one case with three discs in it. I am not sure if it's exactly the same as the first as I can't open it as it's a gift lol. But, it all depends on what you like most.As for the movies, I still feel if you take the best gags from all three movies you can have one hell of a great movie. The movies are a bit slow in pace for a standard parody and seems to tell it's own unique store (so it balances out). The humor is crude and suggestive (as one might expect) but it's never raunchy enough to get an R (which I would not care if it did actually). The casting is great and the power women (as opposed to Bond women) are lethal but doubles as sweet eye candy. Overally even if you have seen these movies and only like maybe one it's still a great price. So I wouldn't pass it up. If you like british-like humor or if you like bizarre action comedies you will not want to let this one get away (before they raise the price). each movie has it's own flavor...and the worst jokes are not horrible by any stretch. But I've seen these types of movies for many many years, so a movie needs to be more than crude to get a laugh from me. Some of the raunchy humor is well crafted while others seem like Benny Hill joke rejects.I may be sounding too critical, so I should add, this is great for any collection. but be careful of what you are getting used to. though it's not R it's still not really something anyone under 15 should be watching. So overally I'd have to say it's something that I can appreciate more now then before (as there was too much hoopla/build up that by the time i actually got to see it, I was expecting too much. But looking at them now, they are fine and can still make me laugh (but if you get bored by too much potty language or junior high school type jokes then this isn't for you. But if you are cool with that, then you'd want to check these out if you haven't already.

All three in one set? Yeah, baby. Watch them in order, for sure, and let the hilarity build. Stopping the series at three was exactly right. We had seen it in all its glory and it remains grand entertainment after all these years. Any more would have grown tired. Many say the third one already was tired. I completely disagree. What rhymes with tired? Inspired!

Excellent!

Buen producto. El único detalle como lo han comentado, es que la primer película no tiene subtitulos en español

Voor blu-ray redelijke beeldkwaliteit. Helaas zonder NL ondertiteling omdat dit een versie is voor de VS markt.

dvd ok

Manca l audio italiano
