My lord! you're a tripod.

I loved "The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Goldmember" but "International Man of Mystery" was kinda blah.

I loved the first one, i was in seventh grade when it came out, but i still think it's hilarious and original(i never saw a character like austin before that movie) second and third were funny, only problem is they reused the exact same jokes, so it got old.
I mean come on, when when austin was driving hte little car in dr evils lair, and got stuck in the hallway going in reverse and forward and has like a inch of space, and he was actualy serious about it, LOL(i really laughed when i thought of that part, thanks for bringing this movie up!!). Oh, and when he's looking at the history on tape of what happend while he was frozen, the thing that was most important to him was "Yeah, and i cant belive Liberatchy(spelling???) was gay, women loved him."

He was taken directly from the Derek Flint character in the "In Like Flint" movie series from the 60's. He acted a lot like Austin did (only seriously), and a lot of the jokes were takeoffs from those movies. It makes things a LOT funnier if you've seen the Flint movies before. They play them from time to time on AMC.

Isn't the sound that plays whenever he gets a call from Basil taken directly from the Flint movies as well?
