Re: I think Ford invented the Autin Powers character
The character of Austin Powers was actually based on Harry Palmer, a character played by Michael Caine in a series of spy movies based on novels by Len Deighton. That's why Michael Caine was chosen as Powers' dad in the third movie.
Here's a couple of Harry Palmer trailers:
They're good films, usually described as a more realistic Bond. I own the two last ones, Bullet to Beijing and Midnight in St. Petersburg. Of course Myers exaggerated a bit for Powers.

Re: I think Ford invented the Autin Powers character
They should use the soundtrack and make it a minor meme for a few months - much more effective than Brooke Shields convincing us that the Dodge Caravan is German-engineered.

Re: I think Ford invented the Autin Powers character
If Ford do a remake it should be of this one used for Ford Europe, look at this remake a Ford fan did, sometimes I wonder if it would be cheaper to hire true Ford fans to work on the commercials that sone agencies
original commercial
remake by Ford fan

Re: I think Ford invented the Autin Powers character
Oh no, I still remember those from TV. This one is unsalvageable, there is only cheapness and cheese in here, nothing remotely interesting. The message is: we build cars. The viewer is bored after the first 5 seconds, and Ford used to actually air up to 1 minute segments!!!
The 1970s one at least has some interesting music. |
