10 Movie Scenes DELETED Because They Were Too Good
10. What's It All About, Austin? - Austin Powers In Goldmember
Let's kick things off with an all-timer alright.
The third Austin Powers film boasts a legendary deleted scene, thankfully featured on the movie's DVD release, where after Austin (Mike Myers) and his father Nigel (Michael Caine) temporarily go their separate ways, we're treated to an unexpected musical number.
The song, "What's It All About, Austin?," is obviously a parody of the iconic tune "What's It All About, Alfie?" from Michael Caine's classic 1966 drama Alfie, with almost all of the main Austin Powers characters shown singing a couple of lines - even Robert Wagner, in a dress no less.
And to top it all off, the number ends with Caine himself softly serenading us, accompanied by actual clips from Alfie, repurposed to represent Nigel and a young Austin in happier times.
It's a strangely beautiful scene for an Austin Powers movie of all things, which is reportedly why it was ultimately cut, the emotion proving overpowering enough that test audiences couldn't quite recover from it.
