[edit] Wikiquote Section?

Man, just the number of Austin Powers quotes that need to be yet out of the bag right now; "This IS my bag baby".

[edit] Impact on popular culture

Shouldn't there be a section devoted Austin Powers' impact on pop culture? Such as "Groovy Baby", "Oh Behave", and "Shagadelic", for example.

This is Wikipedia, so you know what to do: be bold!

[edit] Moving of info

I don't know what the rules would be here, but it seems that some of this could be moved to the pages of the individual movie pages. But I don't know the first thing about exactly what, so I won't mess around with it.67.70.96.73 20:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Actors and acctresses who play the characters

I think that the charcters in the characters section should link to whoever played them.

[edit] Scott Evil

"Scott Evil -Seth Green- Dr. Evil and Frau Farbissina's love child. Scott is the result of an implied difficult childhood, and is constantly shown as an immature young adult."

Wouldn't it be more proper to say that he is often the more level-headed of the badguys, while Dr.Evil is the immature one? Bjelleklang - talk 23:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a yiddish speaker in the house?

This might be one for the trivia section: I heard from someone that Frau Faubissina's name has a meaning when translated...

[edit] Next

Will they ever make a 4th Austin Powers film? The Republican 02:12, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

probably not, but it would give me great pleasure if they did!!!

[edit] Removal of some sections

Check history for which. An article on the character should not have a list of characters from the movie.JONJONAUG 04:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see. It's a combnation page of the series and the characters. Someone oughta fix thatJONJONAUG 04:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

there is a sentence in this article that goes something like: "this is highly certainly correct..." the idea that this is grammatically correct is too fantastic to be even rediculous

[edit] Splitting The Page

I'm not sure I agree with having one giant page about the character of Austin Powers AND the movie series. As the article stands right now, it's a very odd hybrid of both -- I think this article should be JUST about the character himself, with the other topics moving into separate areas (assuming they don't already exist). Amnewsboy 13:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree, there should be a page for Austin, one for each movie and one for Dr Evil and then one for supporting characters and then one for minor characters Danrduggan 13:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Agreed Astonmartini 02:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Agreed. --Soetermans 20:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

agreed, some body

[edit] Orignal sources

Would it be correct to say that the Loadybots of the first 2 films were drawn from 'Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs', a mis 60's Vincent price film. No direct source just a vague memory of the movie, baby. 82.29.179.92 15:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)fishwaver
