Austin Powers in Goldmember

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)

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: 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)

Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Dr. Evil, inside the alleged 'Hollywood Talent Agency', Scott asks for some chocolate because he wants to prove to his dad that he is better than Mini Me. The chocolate is right next to him after he eats it. If you look closely, you can barely see it at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You can see the corner of the box. The shot changes back and forth between Dr. Evil and Scott a couple times. Almost every time it goes back to Scott, the chocolate is gone then comes back the next time. (00:10:55)

Continuity mistake: When Mini Me and Dr. Evil are appearing before the World Organization they are found guilty. When asked if he had anything to say Dr. Evil says "No, but I think Mini Me does". Mini Me then pulls down his pants to moon the Judge and council. When he does this we see him from the front, but there's no sign of his well endowed manhood, as implied later in the film. (00:13:10 - 00:45:55)

Continuity mistake: If you look closely in the scene where Austin travels through time in the "Pimp Mobile", you can see a golf cart in the background driving by. If you watch closely, you can see the golf cart disappear at the same instant the pimp mobile does. (00:23:20)

Continuity mistake: Just after Nigel and Austin are turned around on the bed to face Goldmember, we see Foxxy filing Goldmember's nails from behind. In the very next shot where we see the front of Goldmember his nails are still being filed, but then in the next shot Foxxy is simply standing there and Goldmember sitting still as if they were doing nothing. (00:29:15)

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)

Continuity mistake: Austin is in 2002 with his new teeth. He goes back in time to 1975 to find his father and he has the old teeth again. He goes back to 2002 with Foxxy Cleopatra, but he still has the bad teeth. (00:36:45)

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)

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Dr. Evil in his submarine, he is looking through the periscope. When he steps back, we see his eyes are brown. His eyes are blue throughout the rest of the movie. (00:39:20)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Goldmember peels a big chunk of skin from his shoulder and eats it, you see the skin he's holding is almost transparent. The scene then cuts to Dr. Evil and back to Goldmember, and the skin he puts in his mouth is now brown/dark green. (00:40:05)

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)

Continuity mistake: When the globe falls on Dr. Evil's head it should be shattered at the bottom. But if you look closely at the globe as it is lying on the floor seconds later you can clearly see a perfectly round hole where Dr. Evil's head was made to fit into it. (00:41:20)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Austin is in the laundry basket, sumo wrestlers put their diapers in the basket. Black, gold,and Fat Bastard's diapers are the colors although when Austin smells Fat Bastard's diaper, to the right to him is a silver diaper. No sumo wrestler put a silver one in there. (00:46:35)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dr. Evil tells everyone to get out of the room, Dr. Evil and Scott both fold their legs and look at Mini Me. in the next scene, their legs are both unfolded. (00:52:05)

Continuity mistake: When Austin enters the room with the fountain in the factory, he kicks out the power cord. Every shot that you see with the power cord in it, the cord is in a different position every time. (00:55:20)

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: I don't get this: When Nigel Powers is first taken to the submarine, at one point he looks down, sees Mini Me and says "I thought I smelt cabbage." What's that all about?

Answer: In the first Austin Powers when he is talking about his two fears, one of them was carnies. He then said they have small hands and smell like cabbage. Most likely then Mini-Me reminded him of a carny.
