Short description
Austin Powers in Goldmember continues the adventures of the British spy Austin Powers, played by Mike Myers, who also appears as his nemesis Dr. Evil, the villain Goldmember and Fat Bastard. When Austin learns that his father, the veteran agent Nigel Powers, has been abducted, he travels back to 1975 with the help of a time machine belonging to Dr. Evil. There he joins forces with the singer Foxxy Cleopatra, an old acquaintance, while Dr. Evil and his miniature clone Mini-Me escape from a maximum-security prison and appear to be working with Goldmember on a plan that threatens the world. Austin must untangle the schemes of the two villains to rescue his father and stop them.
The film is the third entry in the Austin Powers series and was directed by Jay Roach, the fifth of fourteen features he has directed in chronological order, following Meet the Parents and preceding Meet the Fockers. Myers wrote the screenplay with Michael McCullers. Alongside Myers, the cast includes Beyoncé as Foxxy Cleopatra, Seth Green, Michael York, Robert Wagner and Mindy Sterling. With a budget of 63 million dollars, it took 297 million dollars worldwide.

What's left behind the scenes
- The role of Nigel Powers was to be offered to Sir Sean Connery, the first performer of the role of agent 007 James Bond.
- Heather Graham reappeared on screen as Felicia Trahvell, but the scene with her participation was cut from the final version of the film.
- In this film, Dr. Evil, played by Mike Myers, has blue eyes (the actor wore contact lenses). In all previous films, the character's eyes are brown, like the actor's own.
- The motorcycle at the beginning of the film is a tuned BMW R1200C.
- The small vehicles involved in the pursuit are Sparrows (single-seat, three-wheeled electric vehicles for urban transportation manufactured by Corbin Motors).
- Foxy's weapon is a short-barreled Smith & Wesson Model 66.
- Michael McDonald appears in a small role in each film in the series. He played the security guard crushed by the roller in the first film, the radar operator in the second, and the guard near the Queen in the third.
- The computer in Dr. Evil's lair is assembled from parts and components of a system created in 1954 to manage the US response to an attack by the Soviet Union. This system occupied an entire floor in a fortified, top-secret bunker. Over time, the system became obsolete. It was removed from active duty and sold in parts to television companies and studios for the production of science fiction films. The parts and components used in this film had already appeared in the series 'Dimension of Time' (1966-1967) and the films 'Highlander' (John Gilleremin, 1974), 'Independence Day' (Roland Emmerich, 1996), 'Blow Out' (Steven Frears, 2000), and many others.
- In each new Austin Powers film, Mike Myers plays one more character than in the previous one. He played two characters (Austin and Dr. Evil) in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (Jay Roach, 1997), three (the first two and Fat Bastard) in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (Jay Roach, 1999), and four (the same plus Goldmember) in this film.
