Best/Worst Character: Austin Powers Trilogy

[thedamndest]

Last week we traveled back to 1982. This week we get into our time traveling mini coopers and go all the way back to our flower powered London flats in the 1960's. I, of course, am talking about Austin Powers. Whatever your feelings on the franchise now, if you were around the age of 14 circa 1997, you could quote the entire movie. Box office numbers don't lie, people.

You can break this down anyway you want. You can pick a best/worst from every movie. You can pick a best of the best and a worst of the worst. You can pick your favorite movie and go from that. There's no science behind it.

I am actually going to watch all three over again so I can respond to this thread.

I own the Blu Ray Trilogy pack with Beyonce commentary.

The ill tempered sea bass, the ill tempered sea bass

best: mufasa
worst: scott evil

[#1-norm-fan]

Best: Dr. Evil

Worst: Tough one. But I'll go with Vanessa. Foxxy Cleopatra was just too fitting of a character and I liked how Austin kinda played off of it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'll take a stab at all three.


International Man of Mystery
Best: Dr. Evil. This franchise doesn't do shit without this amazing supervillain
Worst: Fembots. Meh

The Spy Who Shagged Me
Best: Young Number Two. Rob Lowe nailed this role.
Worst: Ivana Humpalot. Allota Fagina made me laugh but this one not so much.

Goldmember
Best: Number Three. It's not a good thing when the comedic value of making fun of Fred Savage is the best part of a film but it was. Plus it's never a bad time to give Fred Savage some love.
Worst: Mini Me. Cute in the 2nd film, but creepy and unfunny in the 3rd.

[D Mac]

Yeah, Ivana Humpalot worst.

International Man of Mystery
Best: Dr. Evil
Worst: Frau Farbissina - Hard to pick someone from this movie. It's the best of the series by far. I picked her because she made me laugh the least, even though I don't think her role really has many "jokes". Oh well. I'm sure she's reading these boards.

Spy Who Shagged Me
Best: Dr. Evil
Worst: Felicity Shagwell - Do not like Heather Graham

Goldmember:
Best: Nigel Powers - Michael Caine is the man
Worst: Everyone else - really couldn't narrow it down more than this

Best is obviously Dr. Evil.
