So I was reading on AICN that they are going ahead with Austin Powers 4: The search for a funny joke that hasn't been run into the fucking ground
It got me thinking. I really do love the very first one. I seem to remember it coming out with little to no fanfair and I saw it in the theater with maybe like 10 other people. And I fucking loved it. Dr. Evil cracked me up, Liz Hurley was fucking hot and Mike Meyers was actually funny. Then came the horrible impressions and countless people saying "YEAH BABY! OH BEHAVE!". Then the sequel came out with Heather Graham. And it sucked. The jokes were taken from the first one and redone except with a midget. And it really wasn't that funny. Then came the horribly 3rd one. The one with a bad guy with a golden penis. Really? That's the best they could do? It was one unfunny joke after another.
So here's a question. Is there anyway they can actually make a funny AP flick? Or should they just put this old dog out of its misery?
