It seems that the keepers of 007 have decided Austin Powers has gone across the line... they've issued a Cease and Desist on the third AP movie, as it was pretty obvisouly piggybacking the success of James Bond movies over the years. Hell, that's what a spoof is; but I guess everyone has a breaking point. Apparently for MGM and Danjaq, "Austin Powers in Goldmember" was it. E! Online News - 007 Dis(Gold)members Austin Powers. I'm an avid fan of both JB and AP; but I can see why "Gold Member" could be just a little too crass, and yes, derogatory for the original 007. I hope they can sort this one out.
