Storing things at a cool temperature is often important so they don’t spoil. That’s why the refrigerator was invented, so food wouldn’t rot when people put it away. In addition, it is sometimes necessary to keep other things, such as gases or chemicals, cold so that they do not react badly with their surroundings and become dangerous. In this way, compressed gas cylinders and cryogenic cylinders are important to the people who need them. However, sometimes people in the movies think of ridiculous ways to use such technology that aren’t entirely plausible in real life, now and possibly even in the future. For example, in the Austin Powers movie series, the protagonist, secret agent Austin Powers, is cryogenically frozen so that he doesn’t age and can always fight his archenemy Dr. Evil.

The original Austin Powers movie was developed as a parody of the James Bond concept. In other words, essentially everything in Austin Powers pokes fun at the world of James Bond. The films are unique in that Canadian actor and comedian Mike Meyers not only wrote and directed the film, but also starred in the film as Austin and the evil supervillain Dr. Evil. Throughout the three films in the series, the two are almost never seen together in the same shot and when they do, it’s a complicated and painstaking edit rather than a different actor playing one of the characters.

There are many similarities between Austin Powers and James Bond, which of course is done on purpose to make fun of the concept of the super spy who takes all the girls and has so many adventures. One similarity is that in James Bond there is a villain who has a fluffy white cat who sits with him all the time. Dr. Evil also has a cat, except since he was cryogenically frozen he lost all the hair on it and now looks like an ugly hairless rodent. Also, in the Bond movies there was an evil henchman who called himself Odd Job who throws a heavy hat to hurt his enemies during his wickedness. However, in Austin Powers the same character becomes Random Task, who throws his shoe at the victims of his crimes.

As for the plot of the first film, Dr. Evil decides to try to take over the world, but finds that after thirty years of being frozen, his methods of holding the world hostage and the money he demands in return are a little off. out of place. date. For example, first Dr. Evil decides that he is going to ruin the throne of the United Kingdom by making it appear that Prince Charles has cheated on Diana and therefore he will have to abdicate the government, which his assistants tell him that already happened. The evil villain then decides to try and hold the world hostage by using a weapon to destroy part of the ozone layer, increasing the temperature on the planet and dooming civilization. Once again, his assistants inform him that in the time he was frozen this already happened too. The plot progresses as a fun game of cat and mouse between Dr. Evil and Austin.

Although it has many fans around the world, the James Bond series is full of things that can be lampooned and Austin Powers is essentially the first movie series to do just that.
