Austin Powers in Goldmember

Continuity mistake: When Austin is fighting the ninjas, Foxxy Cleopatra is seen leaning on a pillar behind. In one shot she is seen standing up and walking away. There is a shot of Austin fighting and then a shot of her, where she can be seen doing exactly what she did seconds before.

Continuity mistake: In Dr. Evil's Hollywood lair, when they all sit down, the chocolate, remote control and Mini Me's feet switch positions many times. (00:09:20)

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie, as everyone is standing up in the cinema and Thin Bastard shouts "Hey Powers," you can see the stand-in actor playing Dr. Evil as he turns to face Mini Me. (01:23:00)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dr. Evil sees the gold key is missing and Foxxy walks in with it, a far shot shows her entering with a gun in her right hand, pointing up by her head. In the next shot, a close-up view, the gun is pointing straight down.

Continuity mistake: When they "lower the globe" you can see the sub is not on there at first then in the next shot it is. (00:41:10)

Audio problem: In the scene where Fat Bastard is taking a dump you see his shadow through that wall thing. However his mouth isn't moving in time with the words you hear him say.

Factual error: Just after Austin recollects what Mini Me did last time he used the peace symbol, they both smash bottles to use for fighting. Austin grabs his out of a gift basket and Mini Me grabs his out of the mini fridge. Considering the location of both Austin and Mini Me's bottles, shouldn't liquid come out of the bottles because they are new? (01:03:40)

Continuity mistake: In the scene in 1975 when Goldmember peels a chunk of skin off his head, he asks for the skinbox, which Foxxy opens. The scene cuts to Austin and Nigel, then back to Goldmember, where Foxxy is opening the skin box again. (00:30:35)

Factual error: The Hollywood sign is over 350' wide and would not have been visible outside Dr. Evil's lair given how small the opening was and the perspective we see it from.

Continuity mistake: In the scene in Dr. Evil's secret Hollywood lair the people behind the shot of Scott disappear and reappear several times. A woman sitting on a couch sits alone, but in the next shot she is sitting with a man reviewing files. The man disappears several times. (00:09:50)

Deliberate mistake: When Mr. Roboto is offering Austin a mushroom, the subtitles lead Austin to think Mr. Roboto is asking him to eat some shit, until Foxy reveals more of the subtitles to say "Please eat some shitake mushrooms." The correct spelling for this kind of mushroom is "shiitake." They had to cheat on the spelling in order to make the joke work.

Other mistake: In the scene where Dr Evil and Goldmember are in the submarine, they get two henchmen to bring out Nigel Powers from his cell. Just before Nigel explains to the henchmen how he's going to beat them up, if you look through the glass face of the submarine just behind Nigel's head, you can see a fake fish dangling past on a string. (00:42:25)

Continuity mistake: During the opening sequence Austin visits Qunicy Jones and the orchestra. When Austin pops out of the "movie screen" the timer below the screen reads 20:18:58. He re-enters the "movie screen" 13 seconds later, but the timer has progressed faster than the movie and is now at 20:19:26, 28 seconds later. (00:05:20)

Audio problem: In the scene where Austin gets interrupted by Basil when he's with the Japanese twins, you can hear the twins say "bye bye", but they don't move their mouths. (00:16:41)

Continuity mistake: When we are first introduced to the Mole, his mole is very close to his nose. When they show a close-up of the mole, however, it further down and closer to his lip than it was before. In the next shot, it's up by his nose again.

Continuity mistake: You can see that the hills (complete with HOLLYWOOD sign) are superimposed at the end of the opening sequence. A blue sky is visible through the gates, and in gaps in the leaves of the tree at the left of the scene. (00:07:00)

Continuity mistake: Whenever there is a scene inside the submarine, you can see that the front is just Dr. Evil's face sticking out from the wall. However, from the shots outside the submarine, you can see that there is a whole head connected to the neck instead of sticking out of the wall. (00:39:15)

Fat Bastard: On top of spaghetti all covered in. Corn? I don't remember having any corn.

Trivia: On the poster for this movie there is a blue car with the male symbol on the front. But that car never appeared in the movie. (It's intended to be the time machine, but the time machine was a purplish color with a Cadillac sign on the front.)

Question: At the end of the second film, Felicity went to the future with Austin. When this film starts she's nowhere in sight for the whole movie. Whatever happened to her?

Answer: An original cut featured the opening scene with Heather Graham in it (I'm not sure what happens) - I'm assuming they dropped that idea when they could get hold of all the cameo stars. Hopefully it'll surface on the DVD.

Reportedly she left Austin because he couldn't get over Vanessa.

Phaneron

Answer: Remember that there were 2 Austins at the end of the second film, thus she likely ended up with one of them, while the other Austin went in a different direction.
