Blu-ray Review: Austin Powers Collection

YEAH BABY!

When evil rears its head there is only one man who is brave enough, sexy enough, and shagadelic enough who can stop it. That man: Austin Powers. The hit trilogy of films starring former Saturday Night Live alumnus Mike Myers has made his Blu-ray debut with the Austin Powers Collection! Now you can relive all the of the hilarious movies in high definition.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
1960 was a time where people were experimenting heavily with sex and drugs. It was a time were you could get away with pretty much anything…except EVIL! The notorious Dr. Evil (also played by Myers) is out to control the world but he keeps getting stopped by the British spy known as Austin Powers. Evil narrowly escapes capture and cryogenically freezes himself until the 1990’s where he can pursue his goal once more. Austin volunteers to be frozen until Evil returns. Austin is unfrozen when it becomes clear that Dr Evil has begun plans to take over the world and maybe build a giant freakin’ “laser”. Austin must now team up with a new female British Agent (as played by Elizabeth Hurley). Together they must stop Dr Evil and his henchmen at all costs!
