I'm sure this was mentioned before, today it became official.

http://www.bmwnation.com/news/2002/020325_c.html

"MINI's handling and performance will also be showcased this summer, this time on the big screen, as MINI makes its film debut in New Line Cinema's new Austin Powers film. Austin Powers and MINI team up for some of the most dazzling chase scenes yet, with MINI racing and cornering at high speeds through the unlikeliest of places. MINI's size, speed and maneuverability promise to create a whole new type of car chase in the world of film. And it will prove once and for all that, in the words of Nigel Powers (Austin's father, played by Michael Caine), "it's not size that matters, baby, but how you use it." "

Regards,
PeterJS

well Finally!!!
First I was agonized over Pepper White and found it didn't come on the 'S', then it was Dark Silver vs. British Racing Green. Now, finally, I have made a decision.

Its blueee, baby, yeah. With a huge Union Jack over the whole car, yeah, that's where its at, baby. Not some little flag on the roof, but over the whole car, covering us with its mojo.

And you know,,, it does kinda look good, doesn't it?

Question is who the HELL is driving that red Mazda making the illegal U-turn - typical CA drivers (and GA for that matter).

smartbomb · Mar 27th, 2002, 05:26 PM

Michael Caine in AP3 and a MINI, this surely calls for an Italian Job reference somewhere......

rich · Mar 27th, 2002, 07:06 PM

That MINI looks sensational! I want!!

What is AP3 now going to be called? - Tough to compete with "AP2... The Spy Who Shagged Me"

Apparently there have been problems with the proposed "Goldmember" title (fnarr) - MGM, who own the Bond movies objected

So, what about "AP3...Licensed To Shag"

rich · Mar 27th, 2002, 07:08 PM

...Or, given Michael Caine's appearance, "AP3... Olden Guy"!

smartbomb · Mar 28th, 2002, 06:15 PM

Top secret this.....it's gonna be....

The man with the golden Mullett..

Not Pat Sharp.....

Well it might be that or soemthing entirely different !

Yes, one of the Sparrows is done up as the "Scorpion" car complete with a stinger-type tail.

(in other pictures I've seen of the chase scene)

A settlement was reached. The film will indeed be named "Goldmember".

Thanks for that important breaking news, noahe... Presumably the merchandise cash-in will now extend beyond the usual t-shirts & stickers to an Austin Powers gold credit card & matching gold, er, initimate female massage device
