philsov 10/29/18 5:02:42 PM #13:	They don't really hold up, no. The problem is too many pop culture references, imo. 1st is better but 2 and 3 have aged like milk.

SauI_Goodman 10/30/18 12:28:32 AM #18:	Odd fact about the AP movies. The guy who played Random Task (real name Joe Son) was fairly recently convicted of a rape from back in the 80's. He was caught vandalizing somebody's house and as a result he had to give up his DNA and they matched it to the rape. The victim said that she has the Austin Powers movies and she never even gave it a second thought. He also fought in the early UFC's. Suddenly those ball punches seem justified. https://imgur.com/WJFJUEP --- Currently playing: Monster Hunter World (xbone), H1Z1 (ps4), Castlevania 4 (snes), Spiderman (ps4) <cite>SauI_Goodman posted [p:911430049] in IYO: Do th...

masterpug53 10/30/18 1:26:48 AM #19:	I'd have to say that most or all of the Dr. Evil / supervillain trope deconstruction from the first movie is timeless.
