Summary: Shag Now! Don't Shag Later With This Collection!!!
Review: Mike Myers, I thank you for this incredible collection set that's worth my money and everything else in it!

Alright folks, this is a collection set of Austin Powers that's not just worth buying for its worth owning!

Take a look at the individual specs for each movie. Then, take a look at the special features offered in each movie. And then, just do the math and what do you have? A movie collection that's worth all the laughs in the world that no matter how many times you watch it, you'll still keep on laughing.

So, shall we shag now or what? Don't make this collection wait, baby!

Summary: For a James Bond Rip-Off, it sure did take on a life...
Review: of it's own. When it started, they just wanted to make a comedey version of James Bond (If you haven't noticed, here's somethings that might spark your memory). Obviously, they're both Spy's under cover, going on missions, and getting the girl, but here's what you might not have noticed...
Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me, Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Bond: Dr. No, Powers: Dr. Evil
Bond: Goldfinger, Powers: Goldmember
Bond: Octopussy, Powers: Austinpussy
... and those are just a few examples. I guess my point is, is that some people don't realize it was a rip-off, and despite that, it turned out to be a very funny movie! (btw, I only know so much about Bond because of my little brother, he's a big fan.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Gift Set Rocks
Review: OK, i saw Austin Powers 3 this summer and loved it times 1,000,000. The others are great too. I must buy this set! Trust me, these movies are great and I guarantee busting out with laughter. With some great stars like Tom Cruise (Austin), Gwenyth Paltrow (Dixie Normous), Kevin Costner (Dr. Evil), Danny DeVito (Mini-Me), John Travolta (Goldmember).....

Summary: Great Fun At A Low Price
Review: Thank the good lord above that all three Austin Powers movies are finally on DVD. Better yet, they're all special editions. Better still, they're all widescreen! And even better than that, they all have tons of special features!

The Austin Powers trilogy stands proudly up with the top movie trilogies of all time, including the Scream, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones trilogies. Every film gets a solid five stars. they are all hilarious. Still, they may take awhile to grow on you. I remember watching Goldmember, and later telling my sister "That movie is not funny at all." But by the third time I had watched it, I adored it, and thought it was absoloutly hilarious! I've always thought 1 and 2 were hilarious, though I believe 2 is probably the funniest. While you're watching the trilogy, you'll start to think about the characters as friends. I love Frau, Dr. Evil, Scott, all of them! Bottom line: the series offers plenty of good laughs for a rainy day.

The DVD are prenty much quality, with each one getting better than the one before it. The problem with the first movies DVD is that it's not presented in it's original Super 35 widescreen version. It is presented in a 1:85:1 anamorphic aspect ratio. Now, this new aspect ratio confuses me, but I've come to the conclusion that maybe it's BETTER than the Super 35 one. Better? you ask. How could it be better? Well, watching "Alternate Ending 2" in the deleted scenes section, they showed many clips from the film in Super 35. I noticed you saw just as much (and NOT more) to the side, but less on the top and bottom. So, this means that the aspect ratio on the DVD shows more to the sides AND the top and bottom. That's actually pretty cool, and after I realized that, I was comfortable watching the movie in this ratio. The picture is excellent (especially for one of the first DVDS ever) and the sound mix is great. The disks not exactly loaded, but it offers some good stuff. The seven deleted scenes are fun to watch, and the commentary is a joy. An interesting thing on the DVD is the ability to see clips from other movies starring the stars of Austin Powers. You see Mimi Rogers in a scene from "Monkey Trouble" and Elizabeth Hurley in a scene from "Dangerous Ground," amongst others.

The other DVD are much better, however. Both presented in their correct aspect ratios and loaded with extra features I(Goldmember's disk seems to be overflowing!), they make a must have buy.

A nice thing I noticed about this 3-Pack is that New Line took the time and care to change the cardboard covers of the first two into Keep Cases, the plastic ones, to make them fit with Goldmember better. I love New Line's way of improving themselves, and this is a good example.

Anyway, this is a great buy, and I'd recommend it to any body who's not offended by a dose of crude humor and wants to laugh.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mediocre movies
Review: These are not very good movies. The first is funny, but Mike Myers falls into his own trap of repeating the same gag multiple times. He did it in Wayne's World 2, and he did it in both Austin Powers sequels. He even makes fun of himself my threatening us with them.

Although there are mixed feelings about these movies, I'd say that if you do like them, get all of three. I admit, each does have their moments, but if you were to only get one, get the orginal one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good trilogy...
Review: they need to come out with a new one, I'm getting mad because the last one they came out with so far was in Summer 2002... anyway onto the movies.

Austin Powers:International Man of Mystery - 9/10, I like this one because it was the first & the jokes are really funny, Probably the most crude of the 3 also.

Austin Powers:The Spy who Shagged Me - 7/10, My least favorite of the 3, It just didnt have what the first one did, but Fat (...), & Mini Me were cool.

Austin Powers (in) Goldmember - 10/10, The best & funniest one, Mike Myers plays Goldmember, Goldmember is the funniest charactar from these movies I can remember, The best by far, but they need a fourth one!!! Buy these if you dont have them ( I bought the 3 pack).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: if it wasn't for the first
Review: this would get five stars. the second and third installments are some of the funniest stuff i've seen. i don't get austin but dr. evil, fat bastard and goldmember are hilarious.i laughed once in international man of mystery and didn't stop laughing at the other two. fat bastard is the funniest character ever and goldmember is just weird. dr. evil and scot's interaction is over the top. if you like comedy you must have these.
