Why did the Austin Powers series fail?
Why did the Austin Powers series fail?
Robert Gray
Jackson Moore
All three movies combined box office made over 600 million dollars
John Sanders
They made 1 million dollars
Jack Brooks
1 was great, 2 was good, 3 was pretty bad
Logan Sanchez
you can't drag comedies on forever
the movies were great but it isn't necessary to make any more of them
Robert Torres
By what fucking metric did it fail? Arguably the most successful and recognizable parody franchise ever, all 3 movies are good and they made a shitload of money
Daniel Cooper
It’s kino
>do I make you randy baby?
Xavier Taylor

Connor Ramirez
>iconic characters

Has there ever once been a comedy movie trilogy where the third movie is good?
William Adams
Everything that was good.. is now.. evil?
Gavin Lewis
>I drive
He's just like me...
Matthew Hill
>used Elizabeth Hurley first
the movies had no chance of getting better after
Kayden Ward
faggot
Jonathan Russell
Naked gun 3 was good and I’ll stand by it.
Jonathan Mitchell
They were all good.
Jack Fisher
3 would have been good if they didn't get Beyonce. Both chicks in 1 and 2 could act and had more than one expression on their face. Just another one of those shirt castings where the execs are like "Mike, we will green light the movie but we need some popular celebrity to cross merchandise"

There’s a comparison I think of when it comes to sequels that weren’t part of some planned out narrative. A movie is art but it’s also a consumer product. You don’t know what’s going to be successful until it debuts on the market. So imagine you make Coca Cola and everyone loves it but after a few years they say they want a “Coke 2”. You need to make a product that’s as good as the first and distinctly that kind of product but not the exact same product. It’s sort of this impossible puzzle because if you make it too different people will react negatively and if you make it too similar people will react negatively. The first Austin Powers is a fish out of water story. The second and third movie are kind of looser stories that exist to hang re-hashes of the gags in the first movie on. By the third movie it’s kind of played out

It didn't fail, it just ended.
I get that it sounds completely alien now in the era of endless sequels, remakes, reboots and spinoffs.
