"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery | 1997 | PG-13 | - 4.3.5
Mike Myers is a super spy who was frozen during the '60s and has now been thawed out in order to fight crime in the '90s.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Lots of scenes of a naked man with objects strategically placed to cover his private parts (although the sides of his buttocks are seen). Apparently naked women in a couple of scenes -- but again with items strategically placed to cover their private parts and breasts -- plus several scantily clad women. Lots of sexual innuendo. Kissing.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Men are shot and burned to death off screen. People are killed by being shot in a few scenes, with no blood (sometimes with machine gun fire). A man is choked. Threatening with guns. A man is hit in the head by a shoe. Scuffles, fistfights. A couple of explosions.
LANGUAGE 5 - About 5 F-word euphemisms (freakin'), some mild obscenities, many scatological references and anatomical references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Being cryogenically frozen, the '60s, terrorism, feeling out-of-date.
MESSAGE - If you're still living in the '60s, you're out-of-date.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
