You know what? The original movie actually was pretty funny. It understood brevity and moderation and had some pretty memorable sight gags, including a couple recurring ones. It was also quotable for amusing bits and not just some "GET IN MA BELLY" meme. The second film was a lovely rehash with an even dumber setting just going back to the 60s, which ruins the whole point of the series. Then the third film was a nigh unwatchable piece of crap that's mostly faded from memory at this point.

Every tolerably amusing moment in the sequels were just watered down lovely versions of gags that mostly worked the first time, except now they go on too long and repeatedly hit you in the head with the punchline. And then call back it or two or three times like an obnoxious friend elbowing you in the ribs and asking if you "GET IT?"

I mean the first movie wasn't perfect but holy poo poo things went downhill fast.

Can't this be said about any comedy sequel? I mean, last night I watched the clip of the gang fight from Anchorman 2, which I hadn't seen, and it was just a rehash of the jokes from the first one. It was terrible.

I can't believe I'm stooping to this level, but there were good moments in the sequels. Maybe it's nostalgia? The Preparation H joke, for instance, is great when you're a stupid kid.

Pretty much, Airplane 2 is basically Airplane 1 from an alternate universe.

This thread doesn't work because it's a non controversial opinion. EVERYONE thinks that the first movie was the best (you aren't a real person if you think other-wise). The first was a clever take on the classic spy genre while the sequels were wackiness tied up in fart humor.

That's actually the working title for pre-production of part 4,

"Austin Powers: The Spy Who ------- Me" (PG-13) -- This analysis bears a warning.

Our media analyses pull no punches. Descriptively, this one is nearly as vulgar as the movie. But we tell it like it is. We do not use foul language or terms but we say what is there. Please understand that this movie was a very vulgar movie -- and we tell you how vulgar it is. I will soon forget this movie -- no problem -- I just wish I could forget the sight of the eigght or nine year old little girl in the audience.......with her parents.

Before I get into the dirt, I need to warn you about this commentary but this stuff was IN THE MOVIE! Right there! Onscreen! Maybe this analysis and commentary will wake up some of us to what the entertainment industry is doing. Remember, THIS IS A PG-13 MOVIE!

At the beginning of the movie, there was a great deal of nudity which was very lightly masked as Powers pranced nude through what appeared to be a mall. The nudity was so bold and the masking so weak that as Powers spread his legs apart in one scene, the stretch of the tendons in his crotch was visible. In scenes of full nudity his genitalia were ghosted fleshtone; defocused. In other scenes of nudity, convenient objects were used to hide his genitalia -- and ONLY his genitalia. Convenient objects used included furniture, a clock, and textblocks of the names of actors/actresses. In one instance a baby's head was used to hide Powers' genitalia -- and yes, the baby was facing Powers, in the same way DiCaprio's head in *Titanic* was used to hide Winslett's genitalia, but the baby's head was much smaller in perspective than DiCaprio's, thus, less was hidden. Though the baby was an animated baby (like the *Dancing Baby*), what pedophilial signal do you suppose was sent by this scene?

In another case, a bowl of fruit was used to hide Powers' genitalia. In the bowl stood upright was a peeled exaggerated banana with hints of human anatomical features. The banana was grabbed by a hand which ripped it out of the basket. As it was ripped away, two pieces of round fruit attached themselves to the bottom of the banana on either side. And Powers grimaced with pain as it was ripped away.

In another period in the movie, Powers and his opposite, Felicity [deleted] were in a tent with a light casting their shadows on the tent wall, silhouetting their activities from their left. Powers was on his hands and knees. Felicity [deleted] was kneeled behind and to the side of him fetching things out of a long duffle-type bag lying horizontally on a bench at Powers' right side. This configuration of shadows made it seem that Felicity [deleted] was directly behind him. As Felicity [deleted] reached in the bag, the shadows made it appear that she was reaching inside Power's colon. As she stretched to reach deeper into the bag, the shadows appeared as if she was slowly shoving her arm into him up to above her elbow. Dr. Larry Burthoft for Focus on the Family claims this act, when done by homosexuals, is called "fisting." If this portrayal is a homosexual suggestion, it is not the only one in the movie. Felicity [deleted] pulled several things out of the bag, which appeared to come from inside Powers. She also used a mallet to drive a tennis racket into the bag.......handle-first. (Doesn't make any sense to me, either -- driving a tennis racket into a bag?)

A rather agile and limber young lady in this movie was flopping around until she ended up doing the splits...upside down, with her legs spread as opposite and level as airplane wings. Fine acrobatics until a couple other females used the upside-down girl's leg-crouch continuum as some kind of a table, putting their elbows on it.

In another case, chess pieces were stroked and licked on by Powers and one of his sex partners. Two bishops, each with a bulbous headpiece crowned with a small knob, were arranged side-by-side to suggest female breasts. Powers fondled the knobs atop the headpieces.

Just one more (of many) to finally convince you of the vulgarity of this movie. Imagine a "Buck Rogers" space rocket with round fuel tanks at either side of the bottom of the body of the craft. That was a centerpiece of many discussions about the slang names -- ALL of them -- for male genitalia.

One more quick one -- Dr. Evil sensually sucked his little finger.

The first one is okay, but I just loving die inside and lose interest when Burt Baccarach starts playing.

I actually liked The Spy Who Shagged Me but I don't remember much about it because it's been several years. My memory wants to tell me there were good jokes but it falls apart as a movie. And the third one is just best left forgotten.
