Moments after unveiling this plan, Austin Powers arrests Dr. Evil and Mini-Me. TheQueen of EnglandknightsAustin for his service, but he is disappointed when his father, the famous spyNigel Powers,does not attend the event. During an after party,Basil Expositioninforms Austin that Nigel has been kidnapped. Their only clue is that the crew of Nigel's yacht have had theirgenitalia painted gold.
Austin seeks the imprisoned Dr. Evil's help to find the culprit. Dr. Evil antagonizes Austin by reminding him that Nigel was also absent when Austin was given the title of "International Man of Mystery" during their British Intelligence academy graduation, an event that angered Dr. Evil as he had the top grades in the class. Dr. Evil eventually reveals that Goldmember is behind the abduction, so Austin time travels to 1975 and infiltrates Goldmember'sroller discoclub in New York City. He is reunited with his former lover, undercoverFBIagentFoxxy Cleopatra.Austin locates his father but is unable to rescue him. Goldmember takes Nigel through Dr. Evil's time machine to 2002. Dr. Evil and Mini-Me instigate a prison riot and escape. Number 3, a British Intelligencemole,informs Austin that Dr. Evil has moved to a new lair near Tokyo.
Austin and Foxxy travel to Tokyo and confront Fat Bastard, who is now asumo wrestler.Fat Bastard reveals that businessman Mr. Roboto is working on a device for Dr. Evil and Goldmember. Austin and Foxxy meet with Roboto, who pleads ignorance. The duo infiltrate Roboto's factory where the command unit for the tractor beam is being loaded in Goldmember's car, and Roboto gives Goldmember a key needed to activate the beam. Foxxy confronts Goldmember while Austin attempts to free Nigel. However, Goldmember escapes and flees to Dr. Evil's submarine. Scott Evil kills Roboto by feeding him to sharks. Dr. Evil replaces Mini-Me with Scott as his favored son and the rejected clone defects, joining Austin and Foxxy.
The three infiltrate the submarine, where Austin is captured. Before Dr. Evil can activate the tractor beam, Foxxy steals the key and frees Austin. Austin prepares to shoot Dr. Evil, when Nigel appears and reveals that Austin and Dr. Evil are actually brothers. Confused, Dr. Evil explains that his parents died in a car accident and he was raised by evilBelgians,but Nigel reveals that the explosion came from an assassination attempt and he thought that only Austin survived. Dr. Evil (revealed to be named Dougie), Austin, Nigel, and Mini-Me embrace; enraging Scott, who leaves to pursue his own vengeance while Goldmember commandeers the tractor beam's controls, revealing his golden genitalia to be a spare key.

Production
editTitle concerns
editThe title of the film,Goldmember,led to legal action being taken byMGM,the distributors of theJames Bondfilm franchise,that briefly led to the film's title being removed from promotional material and trailers. Several potential replacement titles were prepared, includingLicense to Shag,Live and Let Shag,You Only Shag ThriceandNever Say Member Again.The dispute was quickly resolved and the film title remained unchanged on the provision that the film would include trailers in its cinema releases for the then-upcoming James Bond film,Die Another Day,andThe Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.[4][5]

Four actors who appeared in the earlier films play different characters inGoldmember.Rob Lowe,who played the friend of a dead guard inInternational Man of Mystery,reprises his role as a younger Number 2 fromThe Spy Who Shagged Me,whileNeil Mullarkey(quartermaster clerk inInternational Man of Mystery) and Eric Winzenried (army private soldier inThe Spy Who Shagged Me) appear as the Physician and Henchman Sailor in the Sick Bay.Michael McDonald(the Virtucon guard who got run over by a steamroller inInternational Man of Mysteryand a NATO soldier inThe Spy Who Shagged Me) appears as the royal guard.[9][10]
Goldmember
editJohann van der Smut, better known as Goldmember, is a fictional villain played by Myers (John Travoltaplays the character in a cameo at the end of the film). The name was inspired by theJames BondvillainAuric Goldfinger.Goldmember's Dutch origins and character traits were, according to Myers, inspired by an episode of theHBOTV seriesReal Sexfeaturing a Dutchman who operated a "sex barn" north ofRotterdam.The man's distinct forms of expression caught Myers' attention while he was writing.[11]

Potential sequel
editIn October 2005, in an interview withEntertainment Weekly,Mike Myers discussed the possibility of studio sources moving forward with a fourth film. "There is hope!". "We're all circling and talking to each other. I miss doing the characters."[38]In May 2007, in an interview withIGN,"So no moreAustin Powers?"was asked, and Myers replied," No, no, there is a fully conceived idea for a fourth and I can just say that it's from Dr. Evil's point of view. So if you balanced how much of it was Austin with Dr. Evil, it's more about Austin's secret son than Austin ".[39]Also, in the audio commentary from the DVD release ofGoldmember,Myers revealed that in the fourth film,Fat Bastardwould return and regain the weight that he lost inGoldmember.[40]
In May 2007, at theShrek the Thirdpremiere, Myers announced that a fourthAustin Powersfilm was planned, reiterating that it would focus more on Dr. Evil rather than Austin. He also said that he would start work on it after he started work onThe Love Guru,which became abox office bomb.[41]In February 2008, it was announced thatJay Roachwould return as director. In April 2008, it was reported thatGisele Bündchenhad been offered a role in the film.[42]However,Seth Green,who played Scott Evil, stated that there was no script at the moment and thatAustin Powers 4would be made if a script is written and approved.[43]In June 2008, when asked about anotherAustin Powersfilm in an interview, Myers stated, "I have an idea, and again it's one of those things that will emerge or it won't."[44]In July 2008, Myers stated that he had begun writingAustin Powers 4,and that the plot is "really about Dr. Evil and his son."[45]
In March 2010,Jay Roachindicated toMTVthat Myers is working on ideas for a fourth film.[46][41]In August 2011, Myers revealed he would return, and had begun writing a script for a fourth installment.[47]In September 2013, when asked about the future ofAustin Powers,Myers answered "I'm still figuring that out."[48]In September 2015,Verne Troyerexpressed his desire to return asMini-Meif he was asked to do so.[49]
In May 2016, Roach was asked about the fourthAustin Powersfilm during an interview withLarry King,and he stated the ideas for the fourth film that he and Myers have are good and interesting.[50]In August 2016, in a telephone interview, Myers stated "Everything is being negotiated and worked out and all that stuff" in regards to the fourth installment of theAustin Powersfilm series.[51]
In April 2017, as the twentieth anniversary approached forAustin Powers: International Man of Mystery,Myers claimed he would love to do anotherAustin Powersfilm, but audiences would "just have to see".[52]Two days later, Roach stated that a fourth film would only occur if Myers creates a good story for it.[53]In May 2017, Troyer stated that Mini-Me will reveal that he can speak in the fourth movie.[54]However, Troyer's death on 21 April 2018 delayed the production of a fourth film and prevented him from reprising his role as Mini-Me.[55]In May 2018, Myers reiterated his interest in making a fourthAustin Powers,stating that it would be fun, also hinting that some tribute to Troyer might be included.[56]In November 2018, Myers stated that the project's future is "looking good" with the script already written and that Austin Powers and Dr. Evil will return soon, citing his parenthood as the reason for how long the production has lasted and that Roach will most likely reprise his directorial duties.[57]
In January 2020, Roach again indicated that he was interested in doing a fourth film.[58] In February 2022, Myers toldThe Today Showhe "would love to do" a fourthAustin Powersmovie but could "neither confirm nor deny" whether it would be made.[59] In October 2022, Myers stated on theTonight Showthat he would "love" to make anotherAustin Powersfilm, again citing parenting as the main reason as to why the film has not yet been made.[60]
