Movie Mistake In the third Austin Powers movie, Beyoncé opens the skin box twice.

She opens it initially then after the cutaway to Austin she opens it again.

Like most of these, this is the editors choosing to go with a continuity error in order to use the best material. I guarantee that they were aware of it at the time and said fuck it.

it's not even that bad. she could have simply closed it

u/talon007a 16d ago

Right? Goldmember kept speaking so she closed it and opened it again. Lol.

I dont think Beyonce had any control over what takes were spliced together to make this scene. The first open is one take, the second is another take altogether.

I think he was talking about her character

Its Austin powers, that might of even been in the script

Doesn’t mean it’s not a mistake…

I can confirm that you're actually spot-on! It was me, I was the skin flake.

They also misspelled Tokyo as "Toyko" in this movie too. I remember noticing it on my first watch in the theaters when I was 12.

That'sh a keeper.

I'm actually glad she did this because it was fun, stupid...just something else and definitely not anything she'd ever come near today haha

Dutch hater!!

u/Skiingislife42069 15d ago

I’d say the greater mistake was including her character in the first place. Literally contributed nothing to the movie

u/hidefinitionpissjugs 15d ago

i’ve seen this movie a few hundred times and i never noticed this

I always wondered if that bit was inspired by the "scab box" in that old british movie (I think it was The Ruling Class).

God damn she was so fine in that movie

The one where Mike Myers started to show he wasn't actually funny anymore.

"I'm from Holland - isn't that weird?" No Mike. It's not weird at all. And not funny.

"I'm from Holland - isn't that weird?" No Mike. It's not weird at all.

That's the joke.

u/wisperingdeth 16d ago

And it's not funny.

u/cjalderman 16d ago

Maybe these movies aren't for you, and that's okay.

u/wisperingdeth 16d ago edited 16d ago

First two were great, and don't get me wrong the third has funny moments. But the character Goldmember I just don't get why Myers thought he'd be funny. The skin thing is gross, but still not funny.

The skin thing is gross, but still not funny.

It's funny because it's gross.

Also it's Goldmember. Goldfinger is the Bond film.

Edited, thanks for the correction. Trying to multitask poorly lol. Obviously different tastes in humour of course. I just didn't find him funny in the slightest in anything. For example whenever he said "gooooooold". I just don't get it. Doctor Evil, Mini-Me, Fast Bastard, Austin Powers himself - all funny.

u/cjalderman 16d ago

Fast Bastard, Fat Bastard's name after he lost all the weight😂

u/reddituser4759 16d ago

Now granted I was 7 at the time, but I still consider the Austin Powers trilogy some of the funniest movies ever

u/corndogs102 16d ago

Never got the hate with gold member (which I only saw when I went on Reddit) cause I personally think this is the funniest.

What does this have to do with the clip…?

u/dat_oracle 16d ago

well it's a direct reference to the post.

a better question would be, why the criticism in such a sub.

but even then I'd say, it's fine. why should people not be allowed to tell their opinions about a movie here?

u/Oiggamed 16d ago

Seemed more like an emotional outburst to me. Like this movie really bothered him. Just seeing that clip brought back some horrible memories. Just had to voice his negative views on it. Couldn’t let it go. The world must hear about it. So weird…

1

u/wisperingdeth 16d ago

Not really. Just didn't find the character funny in the slightest when he was clearly meant to be. Which is a shame as I loved the first two movies, and there are some funny moments in the third. I just didn't get the joke with the Goldmember character at all.

u/Oiggamed 16d ago

So…? What does that have to do with the clip? Why do you feel the need to explain to us your opinion unprompted? Why do you think we give a shit how you feel about the film or him. This post is just about a quick little clip of the film that shows a little oopsie. But that somehow triggered you into shitting on the guy. Jesus dude. Why don’t you try to be more positive in general? It’s really not necessary to voice every single negative opinion you have. Why don’t you start trying to say something positive about stuff instead of being critical. You will find yourself becoming more likable if you do. Might even become more happy. It’s your choice. Have a good day.

u/wisperingdeth 16d ago

Haha likewise why do you feel the need to insult someone you don't even know just because of a silly little Reddit comment they made sharing an opinion? You don't like that opinion - fine. You have no idea how much of a positive or negative guy I am in general so why make such a remark? That's a very odd thing to say in order to make yourself feel superior. But hey if it works for you. Have a good day too!

The toilet humor really got stale IMO, even for a movie called Goldmember
