Austin Powers in Goldmember is packed with unusual comedy, spy-movie references, and behind-the-scenes details. Mike Myers takes on four roles in the film—Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Goldmember, and Fat Bastard—making his multiple-character performance one of the movie’s biggest attractions. Beyoncé made her major feature-film debut as Foxxy Cleopatra, a character inspired by the glamorous style of 1970s blaxploitation heroines. The movie also features Michael Caine as Austin’s father, Nigel Powers, adding another layer of spy-movie parody because Caine himself became famous for playing British secret agent characters. The opening sequence deliberately imitates the extravagant style of classic James Bond films while turning the usual action and romance conventions into comedy. The film was also commercially successful, earning nearly $297 million worldwide against an estimated $63 million budget.

Austin Powers in Goldmember contains a movie-within-the-movie opening that intentionally blurs the line between the fictional Austin Powers film and a Hollywood production. The film also plays heavily with classic spy-film conventions, especially the James Bond-style villain, elaborate opening sequences and exaggerated secret-agent gadgets.
