I also read a while back that Myers didn't even want Garth in the Wayne's World movies, he wanted it to be centered around Wayne. I guess he got over it since they made two of them.

Austin Powers is a comedy classic. No good can come of trying to bring Austin into the 2020's.
if they have no concept of James Bond it's much less funny…DargelSkout said:
Agreed, I showed it to my kids last year and we were all underwhelmed. They are both in highschool like I was when it first came out. I was surprised how unfunny it was. I remembered it being hilarious in the late 90's.

Bite your tongue. I haven't revisited Austin Powers in a long time, but Wayne's World is a top 5 deserted island movie for me. I have the entire movie memorized, watch it once a year or so, and still laugh at it
that's just like, your opinion man.maroon barchetta said:G.I.Bro said:

I saw it three times opening weekend and quoted it like crazy and sometimes still quote it.
It doesn't hold up..

Rewatched one of them a couple years back.
They haven't aged well.
Hilarious at the time. But rewatching Austin Powers or Wayne's World was a disappointment.

Hopefully this is a trial balloon of sorts for a fourth movie. The charm/chemistry/laughs are all certainly still there. If so, I legitimately can't believe how well everyone has aged. They all look damn near the same as they did 24 years ago. Give Austin Powers a teenager or a kid in his 20s or whatever, and a fourth movie would do insane numbers.
They need to spoof the super serious tone of the Daniel Craig 007 saga. Lots of humor material there.
