The Austin Powers in Goldmember opening scene is the definition of a show-stopper. From the star-studded cameos like Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Danny DeVito to the over-the-top action filmmaking - it is a sight to behold. But how did director Jay Roach pull this scene off?
In this video, we partner with Sundance Collab and Jay Roach to walk us through the filmmaking process behind creating the Austin Powers 3 opening sequence - and we’ll be taking a look at never-before-seen Austin Powers: Goldmember storyboards as we do it. For the Austin Powers in Goldmember opening scene, Jay Roach discusses how he balanced tone and contrast between each segment. Buckle your belts for some very groovy filmmaking theory baby, yeah!
For Austin Powers 3, the filmmakers really had to step it up, starting with a hilariously ridiculous action sequence - which, as Roach explains, would not have been possible without “pure preparation” that starts with storyboarding and directing considerations for tone and contrast.
Then the Austin Powers in Goldmember intro breaks the 4th wall and turns into a Hollywood musical and that iconic Austin Powers dance. The different modes of comedy on display during the Austin Powers in Goldmember opening scene is a masterclass in directing comedy, action, and tone.
You might not have the budget (or Tom Cruise) to pull off the intro to your next film, but the lessons here still apply - be prepared, make a storyboard, and approach each scene as if it were as bold and dynamic as the Austin Powers in Goldmember opening scene.

By the time the panning-out camera gets to Saturn, we're all the way back to Dean Marin singing Volare in the 1960s, whereas the premise of the movie was that a TV signal from 1936 had gotten all the way from Earth to Vega and back again.

    Right in the nostalgia, Jay. Thank you. I have always loved the opening to the 2002 film Rollerball. It gives you just enough context to get interested, drops you directly into some crazy boarding action filled with near-miss 1st and 3rd person shots, several car chases, and then ends with a nice introductory character scene.

    8:55 Shot always fascinated me. You THINK they pull a texas switch with his backflipping stuntman ducking out of frame and Austin pops up. BUT, Austin himself is against a green screen. He's not actually on that location. His green screen plate pops up, he breaths heavily, and gives the effect he's being carried by the crane. Love this sequence. Not just trying to "do another one" (as 2 did for 1), but actually embraced the meta elements of the Bond movie-making machine and had fun/leaned into it.

They got me so good with Tom Cruise, was so disappointed when I saw him cause I actually thought they’d replaced Mike Myers (I see the stupidity of that thought today😅). Slight relief when DannyDeVito was shown. That was too much to be true. 😂 Thus, one of the greatest openers as it completely got me and put me on a little emotional rollercoaster. 🥳

    Here's a little tidbit that many don't know. Jay Roach's wife is singer Susanna Hoffs, of Bangles fame. She, along with Mike Myers and Matthew Sweet formed the band "Ming Tea", taking on 60s characters and names. Sweet was Sid Belvedere, Hoffs was Gillian Shagwell, and Myers was Austin Powers. From there, Myers got the idea of making the movie with Hoffs hubby Jay Roach as director. In the first film, Ming Tea sang the song "BBC", and in the third "Daddy Wasn't There". In the first, in the scene at Alotta Fagina's apartment, Hoffs sings the Bacharach song "The Look of Love", and absolutely nails it (available on KZread). In fact, Myers met Roach through Hoffs, when they were still dating and hadn't married yet. And Myers, a musician himself, owns a Rickenbacker 350 Susanna Hoffs Limited Edition electric guitar.
