  2. The Ipcress File (1965)
    "Austin Powers' thick horn-rimmed glasses are inspired by those worn by Michael Caine's character, Harry Palmer, in this film. Caine later played Austin's father, Nigel Powers, in "Goldmember," further cementing the connection." Austin Powers Wikipedia
  3. A Hard Day's Night (1964)
    "The opening sequence of "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997) parodies the Beatles being chased by fans, similar to scenes in "A Hard Day's Night." This influence carries over into the energetic and music-driven sequences in "Goldmember."" 10 Best Movie References In The Austin Powers Franchise (Besides James Bond) Ben Sherlock ScreenRant
  4. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
    "The opening dance sequence in "Goldmember" includes a homage to "Singin' in the Rain," with Austin dancing with an umbrella in a rain-soaked street, reflecting the film's influence on the musical number." Dga source
