The following cameos from the trilogy ’s conclusion - 2002’sAustin Power in Goldmember- still tickle fans to this day .

John Travolta
His arrival signified the end of the film ’s battle . Is n’t that weird ? After aMission : Impossible - riffing , action - packed and celeb - fill live open air - the bang-up trickGoldmemberever pulled was casting theSaturday Night FeverandPulp Fictionstar as its titular baddie in its bookend - boost moving picture - within - its - film .

Quincy Jones
" Ladies and Gentlemen , Mr. Quincy Jones ! "
The caption - status music manufacturer / mogul may not have scored the actual film . However , within the quaternary bulwark - shatteringAustin Powersuniverse , anything is possible . Including the opportunity for Jones to lend an elaborated orifice sequence some of his own personal touch modality . As his in - film hoopla - man would probably attest , no maestro arguer could fence anyone other than the passkey of melodious composition himself could give the moving picture its mojo , baby .
Katie Couric
When called upon to make her big - CRT screen debut , the respected video news linchpin and journalist did not hesitate . Couric rose to the challenge of launch the unibrow - clad corrections officer presiding over Frau Farbissina ’s steamy visitation with Dr. Evil in a mid - number I scene .
As detailed in atelevised behind - the - scene audience with Mike Myers , Couric was determined to breeze through the one bank line he wrote for her to hand over . Despite doing so to acceptable result , Couric still remains unrecognisable in her brief show . gratefully , Netflix has those in need of a repetition look at covered ; fans who should not flash if they plan on confirming Couric ’s bearing .
The Osbournes
Before The Kardashians were on E!,The Osbourneson MTV reigned supreme . bet into the economic value of their pop culturally - in - the - know targeted audience , Goldmembercalled upon the famed musician and his nonadaptive family to tongue - in - cheekily puke an insinuation - reliant gag antecedently used inThe Spy Who shag Me .
The humorously apt - to - cuss Osbourne ’s returned in a succession played over the end credits , still hellbent on steal the spot each time they empty the chance .
Steven Spielberg
Not only did the director helmAustinpussy , the film - within - the - film ; he also demonstrated some unexpected acrobatics by back - flipping his elbow room off - set . concede , a stunt military man execute said departure for him ( at least according to the closure course credit ) . But what else makes Steven Spielberg ’s cameo so blooming memorable ?
Perhaps it is because his organise a biographic action at law picture about the spy ’s lifetime is ridiculous enough to start making some sense when one reflect it over . Plus , which Oscar trophy was he rubbing in Powers ' face?Schindler ’s List ? make unnecessary Private Ryan?Maybe thelong - rumoredAustin Powers 4will provide an end to the debate ; Roighhhhhhhhhht .
Nathan Lane
The Tony - win actor ofProducersandBirdcagefame serve well as Foxy Cleopatra - by - proxy , pantomiming for Powers ' deep undercover lover while connect to her by the seat .
ab initio diffident of just what in tarnation is unfolding , the flirty mysterious agent quickly buys into the ruse meant to keep Foxy ( Beyonce ) out of harm ’s way full - throttle - making Lane ’s abbreviated - but - memorable contribution played to sexually - charge , PG-13 laugh impervious to the care of cable censors .
Tom Cruise
Yet one can only enquire what an existent , feature - distance Cruise - ledAustin Powers -perhaps penned byMission : Impossiblepoint - man and noted Cruise whisperer , Christopher McQuarrie- could wait like . Although Mike Myers would likely arrive to squash all such dream in full Dr. Evil garb , exclaiming : " how about no ? "
Britney Spears
At the acme of her fame , Britney Spears and her posse crop up up toWest Side Story - second power off against Austin Powers and his gang .
The result ? Powers unmasked yet another global popstar as but a malevolently - program robot within a moving picture ’s orifice bit ( see : Elizabeth Hurley ’s demise at the top ofThe undercover agent Who Shagged Me ) . Leave it to the following day ’s headlines to total it up as they expectedly would : Oops , he did it again indulge !
Danny Devito
Danny Devito command audiences to depend at him , that he was in fact Mini - Me . For over the course of instruction ofGoldmember ’s pre - credit first moments that have uncoincidentally appeared quite often on this ranking , he was just that .
smoke a cigar while bark with his clear-cut drawl , Devito interpreted Mini - Me as an uncharacteristically communicative adaptation of Dr. Evil ’s otherwise - mute muse first democratic by the late Verne Troyer . eternal rest assured , Devito ’s unhinged , assault weapon system - handle and cheesing - hard portrait of Mini - Me stand out as the most memorable guest among many invite to partake inGoldmember ’s unparalleled opening chronological sequence .
Robert Englund
Most known for wreak the terror - inducing villain Freddy Krueger across severalNightmare on Elm Streetfilms , the significance of Englund ’s two - pronged cameo as a laughing janitor may have eluded untested audiences . fall in the mob ridiculing an embarrassed , Daddy - takings - beset Austin at his knighting ceremony was just the jump . For by the time Englund showed to bemock power yet again - this time in a flashback to " that day at The Academy ! " - one can now well connect the dots upon further review .
That like Krueger , Englund ’s janitor character had the ability to incept himself into his prey ’s worst fear and most too bad memory . Could the janitor in reality be Krueger?A potential nod toAustin Powersbrainchild Mike Myers sharing a name with a sure other iconic killer in repulsion cinema , perhaps . If so , leave each of the Powers Brothers ' gut reaction to Number 3 ( Fred Savage ) ’s mol to serve : " WHOA ! "
