I watched Goldmember again tonight. There were a few jokes or references I didn’t get before because I have been catching up on stuff in recent years so there are some things I hadn’t heard of the first time round, though I probably should have.
Prime example was in the Japanese sub-titles bit where Austin Powers says “Domo arigato Mr Roboto”.  I had never heard the song (Mr. Roboto by Styx) when I last watched the film so it went right over my head.
It was also weird seeing Hiro from Heroes in his first-ever film role as the passing Japanese pedestrian who makes a comment about the Godzilla statue.
It was still the familiar bits, the bits that I can join in with, that made me laugh the most though – the shadow-play on the doctor’s screen, the fountain, “a smoke and a pancake” and the all-time favourite line: “twins Basil!”.
