Dr Evil and Mini-Me escape from prison and team up with Goldmember in their latest bid for world domination. They plan to travel back in time and abduct Austin Powers' father, Nigel Powers. Austin pursues Evil, Mini-Me and Goldmember to 1975 where he teams up with an ex-girlfriend, detective Foxy Cleopatra, to save his father.

Third film outing for the International Man of Mystery. Better than the second, not as funny as the original. The less Myers concentrates on playing new characters and the more on Powers and Dr Evil the better the films are. Beyonce and Michael Caine are excellent but aren't given enough to do.
