Quincy Jones is a music producer and composer.

Also the guy from The Birdcage and the voice of Timon is Nathan Lane

28 Grammy Awards. 40 major motion picture scores. Quincy Jones's 1962 tune "Soul Bossa Nova", which originated on the Big Band Bossa Nova album, was used as the theme for the 1997 spy comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Also, Jones produced the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Quincy Jones produced the Michael Jackson album, Thriller, which sold 65 million copies and became the highest-selling album of all time. An amazing person, he survived two brain surgeries which saved his life in the 1970s and he's still kicking at 91.

My favorite thing about that opening bit is the most-obscure thing about it. George Clinton perfectly aped the style of John Barry's scores for the Connery Bond films everywhere else in this trilogy, _except_ in the opening bit with Tom Cruise here.

Caine was actually the second inspiration behind Connery for Austin Powers with his character Harry Palmer in the film The Ipcress File and it's four sequels which is why he was brought on to portray Nigel. Connery was offered the role as well but declined and Honor Blackman who played Pussy Galore was offered to play Austin’s mother Mrs. Powers. The flashback scene with the young Caine was from the movie Hurry Sundown which is not a Harry Palmer film but still cool as a meta flashback.

Here are the films featuring Harry Palmer: The Ipcress File (1965) - Palmer investigates the disappearances of several British scientists, dealing with brainwashing and complex conspiracies. Funeral in Berlin (1966) - Palmer is sent to Berlin to arrange the defection of a Soviet officer. Billion Dollar Brain (1967) - Palmer tackles a plot involving a renegade intelligence agent and a computer that is controlling an anti-Communist uprising. Bullet to Beijing (1995) - After the Cold War, Palmer is reactivated for a mission involving stolen bio-chemical weapons. Midnight in Saint Petersburg (1996) - Palmer, now a private investigator, tries to stop a nuclear device from being smuggled into the wrong hands. I've seen all of them. Bullet to Beijing is probably my fav.

Love it, Love it Love it. So glad we have the whole trilogy now. Also great to hear this trilogy is bringing in new viewers (except the Dutch of course.) If you are new to Ashleigh's channel take at look at the playlists and check out some other reactions. I discovered her channel last year and she has become one of my favourite reactors!

It is a rare day that a third movie in a series blows the first two together out of the water completely but this one does it! And you keep hoping for the third nipple, I hope you finally caught on about the third testicle of Dr Evil. 👍🏻

I watched this movie in a packed cinema in Toronto when it came out. Never seen a crowd having so much fun.

The prison outfits were a nod to "Laverne & Shirley", which was also referenced in "Wayne's World".

Arguably, the best of the trilogy.
