It is the third and final installment in the [[Austin Powers|''Austin Powers'' film series]] and stars [[Mike Myers]] in four different roles: [[Austin Powers (character)|Austin Powers]], [[Dr. Evil]], Goldmember, and [[Fat Bastard]]. Myers and [[Michael McCullers]] co-wrote the screenplay, which also features [[Beyoncé|Beyoncé Knowles]] in her theatrical film debut, as well as [[Seth Green]], [[Michael York]], [[Robert Wagner]], [[Mindy Sterling]], [[Verne Troyer]], and [[Michael Caine]].

''Goldmember'' opens with a self-parody of the ''Austin Powers'' film series called ''Austinpussy'', where Austin Powers is featured in a [[bio-pic]] parody of the [[James Bond]] film ''[[Octopussy]]''. The self-parody is directed by [[Steven Spielberg]] and stars [[Tom Cruise]] as Austin Powers, [[Gwyneth Paltrow]] as Dixie Normous, [[Kevin Spacey]] as Dr. Evil, [[Danny DeVito]] as Mini-Me, and [[John Travolta]] as Goldmember.

The film was distributed by [[New Line Cinema]] and released in the United States on July 26, 2002. ''Goldmember'' finished its box office run with an international haul of $296.9 million and received positive critical reception. It was the [[List of American films of 2002#Box office|seventh-highest-grossing film of the year domestically]] in the United States.

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
In 2002, from his lair behind the [[Hollywood Sign]], Dr. Evil unveils to [[List of Austin Powers characters#Number 2|Number 2]], [[Mini-Me]], [[Frau Farbissina]], and [[List of Austin Powers characters#Scott Evil|Scott Evil]], his plan for world domination: [[time travel|traveling back in time]] to 1975 and partnering with the [[Dutch people|Dutch]], [[gold]]-obsessed Johann van der Smut, who, after losing his genitalia in a [[smelting]] accident, is known by the [[Pseudonym|alias]] "[[List of Austin Powers characters#Goldmember|Goldmember]]". Goldmember developed a power unit for a [[tractor beam]] and intends to use it to pull a meteor into the earth. Moments after unveiling this plan, Austin Powers arrests Dr. Evil and Mini-Me. [[Elizabeth II|The Queen]] [[Orders, decorations, and medals of the United Kingdom|knights]] Austin for his service, but he is disappointed when his father, the famous spy [[List of Austin Powers characters#Nigel Powers|Nigel Powers]], does not attend the event. During an after party, [[Basil Exposition]] informs Austin that Nigel has been kidnapped. Their only clue is that the crew of Nigel's yacht have had their [[Goldfinger (film)|genitalia 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's [[roller disco]] club in New York City. He is reunited with his former lover, undercover [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[List of Austin Powers characters#Foxxy Cleopatra|Foxxy 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 Intelligence [[mole (espionage)|mole]], 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 a [[sumo wrestling|sumo 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. When Austin prepares to shoot Dr. Evil, 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 evil [[Belgians]], 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. Goldmember activates the tractor beam, but Austin and Dr. Evil work together to reverse its polarity, destroying the meteor and saving the world.

The entire story is later [[story within a story|adapted into]] the film ''Austinpussy''. Upon exiting the cinema, Austin and Foxxy encounter Fat Bastard, now thin but with sagging flesh thanks to the [[Jared Fogle#Subway campaign|Subway diet]]. As Austin and Foxxy kiss, Scott Evil – now completely bald and behaving as his father, declares he will get his revenge against Austin. During the [[end credits]], Mini-Me talks with [[Britney Spears]], who wants to give him her phone number.

==Production==
===Title concerns===
The title of the film, ''Goldmember'', led to legal action being taken by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]], the distributors of the [[James Bond (franchise)|''James Bond'' film franchise]], that briefly led to the film's title being removed from promotional material and trailers. Several potential replacement titles were prepared, including ''License to Shag'', ''Live and Let Shag'', ''You Only Shag Thrice'' and ''Never 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]]'', and ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/2002/2002-04-10-bond-powers.htm|title=Spy vs. spy ends amicably|work=USA Today|access-date=2007-04-07 | date=2002-04-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/04/09/austin-powers-3-re-membered|title=Austin Powers 3 Re-Membered?|last=Linder|first=Brian|work=[[IGN]]|date=2002-04-09|access-date=2021-06-05|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107071027/https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/04/09/austin-powers-3-re-membered|archive-date=2012-11-07}}</ref>

===Characters===
[[Austin Powers (character)|Austin Powers]] (Myers), having conquered the 1990s and the 1960s, travels back to the 1970s and teams up with his nemesis [[Dr. Evil]] (also played by Myers) to thwart a new villain, Goldmember (Myers once again). Myers also plays [[Fat Bastard (Austin Powers Character)|Fat Bastard]] for the second time, this time [[parody]]ing the kind of [[Wire fu|"wire fight"]] seen in ''[[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]''. The film also stars Beyoncé Knowles as [[Foxxy Cleopatra]] (parodying [[blaxploitation]] heroines, primarily [[Foxy Brown (film)|Foxy Brown]] and [[Cleopatra Jones]], as well as [[Get Christie Love!|Christie Love]] when she says, "You're under arrest, sugah!"), [[Michael York (actor)|Michael York]], reprising the role of Basil Exposition, and [[Verne Troyer]] in his second appearance as [[Mini-Me]]. The film also introduced a new character named Number 3 (a.k.a. the Mole), who is portrayed by former [[child actor|child star]] [[Fred Savage]]. [[Clint Howard]] plays a radar operator in all three films. [[Michael Caine]] guest stars as Austin's father, Nigel; this role was inspired by the character of [[Harry Palmer]] from ''[[The Ipcress File (film)|The Ipcress File]]'', a 1965 film starring Caine.<ref name="ipc">{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2006/01/05/the_ipcress_file_2006_review.shtml | title=The Ipcress File (1965) | publisher=BBC | date=January 6, 2006 | access-date=June 17, 2013 | author=Leyland, Matthew}}</ref> [[Sean Connery]] was originally considered for the role of Nigel Powers<ref>{{cite web |date=2006-01-06 |title=Connery as Austin Powers' Pop? - ABC News |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=111626&page=1 |website=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]}}</ref> and [[Honor Blackman]] for that of Mrs. Powers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2001-02-06 |title=Sean Connery To Star In Austin Powers |url=https://www.cinema.com/news/item/2841/sean-connery-to-star-in-austin-powers.phtml |access-date=2022-09-08 |website=Cinema.com}}</ref>

Four actors who appeared in the earlier films play different characters in ''Goldmember''.

====Goldmember====
Johann van der Smut, better known as Goldmember, is a villain played by Myers ([[John Travolta]] plays the character in a cameo at the end of the film). The name was inspired by the [[James Bond]] villain [[Auric Goldfinger]]. Goldmember's Dutch origins and character traits were, according to Myers, inspired by an episode of the [[HBO]] TV series ''[[Real Sex]]'' featuring a Dutchman who operated a "sex barn" north of [[Rotterdam]]. The man's distinct forms of expression caught Myers' attention while he was writing.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2002-07-25-goldmember_x.htm |work=USA Today|title=Movie news|date=2002-07-25 | first1=Andy | last1=Seiler | access-date=2010-04-25}}</ref>

In October 2005, in an interview with ''[[Entertainment 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."<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2005-10-07 |title=Mike Myers May Return to "Austin Powers" |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |url=https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0%2C%2C1114708%2C00.html |url-status=dead |access-date=2016-04-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070118035051/https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1114708,00.html |archive-date=2007-01-18}}</ref> In May 2007, in an interview with [[IGN]], "So no more ''Austin 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".<ref>{{cite web |date=2007-05-16 |title=Interview: Mike Myers and Antonio Banderas |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/05/16/interview-mike-myers-and-antonio-banderas |access-date=2015-04-26 |website=[[IGN]]}}</ref> Also, in the audio commentary from the DVD release of ''Goldmember'', Myers revealed that in the fourth film, [[Fat Bastard (character)|Fat Bastard]] would return and regain the weight that he lost in ''Goldmember''.<ref>{{cite web |date=August 15, 2011 |title='Austin Powers' needs to kill off Fat Bastard |url=http://www.today.com/news/austin-powers-needs-kill-fat-bastard-wbna44147655 |website=[[TODAY.com]]}}</ref>

In May 2007, at the ''[[Shrek the Third]]'' premiere, Myers announced that a fourth ''Austin Powers'' film 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 on ''[[The Love Guru]]'', which became a [[box office bomb]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web |last=Adler |first=Shawn |date=8 May 2007 |title=Mike Myers Revives Dr. Evil, Plus Kirsten Dunst, 'High School Musical' & More, In Movie File |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/teh5dl/mike-myers-revives-dr-evil-plus-kirsten-dunst-high-school-musical-more-in-movie-file |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070513182600/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1559113/20070501/story.jhtml |archive-date=2007-05-13 |access-date=2015-04-26 |website=[[MTV]]}}</ref> In February 2008, it was announced that [[Jay Roach]] would return as director.
