Austin Powers in Goldmember

2002

The world's most shagadelic spy continues his fight against Dr. Evil. This time, the diabolical doctor and his clone, Mini-Me, team up with a new foe—'70s kingpin Goldmember. While pursuing the team of villains to stop them from world domination, Austin gets help from his dad and an old girlfriend.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

A visible Subway diet joke and product placement are part of the ending, but commercial promotion is not the film's main purpose.

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

Roboto is killed by being fed to laser-equipped sharks, but the death is framed as absurd villain comedy rather than grief-focused drama.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

The film uses comic injury and references to lost genitalia, but the supplied plot does not indicate sustained graphic blood or wound detail.

Strong language3/5
Why this rating?

Frequent use of crude terms and suggestive language.

Romance3/5
Why this rating?

Austin and Foxxy are former lovers, reunite during the mission, and kiss; romance supports the comedy but is not the central storyline.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

World-destruction threats, kidnapping, sharks, weapons, and peril create tension, though the spoof tone keeps them exaggerated rather than intensely frightening.

Sexual content & nudity4/5
Why this rating?

Sexual innuendo, genital jokes, suggestive spy-spoof humor, and sexualized presentation are prominent and recurring, reflected in the PG-13 rating.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

Occasional scenes of social drinking or casual references.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Spy fights, weapons, explosions, kidnapping, a prison riot, shark peril, and an attempt to shoot a villain are presented mostly as broad comedy.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience2/5
Why this rating?

Characters confront villains, rescue family, infiltrate dangerous locations, and risk the world-saving mission, though their methods are often comic and reckless.

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?

Time travel, parody, eccentric villains, inventive gadgets, and absurd problem-solving strongly encourage imaginative play, despite the crude humor.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

The film features a diverse cast, though roles are often rooted in parodies of blaxploitation or other genre tropes.

Kindness & empathy2/5
Why this rating?

Austin helps rescue his father and enemies reconcile, while Mini-Me is welcomed by the heroes; much of the surrounding humor is mocking or antagonistic.

Positive messages2/5
Why this rating?

Teamwork, reconciliation, family acceptance, and protecting others are affirmed, although the comedy often rewards outrageous deception and irresponsible behavior.

Good role models2/5
Why this rating?

Austin and allies show loyalty and persistence, but the protagonist is promiscuous, reckless, and deliberately crude, limiting his value as a straightforward role model.
