4. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - Austin Powers
I've got to admit, finding out your new wife is a robot must be a blow to any marriage, and it probably goes double when you've completely changed yourself for monogamous life. Yet such is the position in which Austin Powers finds himself in The Spy Who Shagged Me, where he's gazumped once again by the fact that every single attractive woman around him appears to be a killing machine. It's a shame, because it appears marriage had a profound change on Austin. While before he'd probably shag anything in a skirt with a pulse, he appears to have turned some sort of corner with Vanessa. He's not cured of all his immaturity, sure, but he's settled down and left the mountains of naked women behind for life with one woman. Good for him, I say. Hell, it was probably just as well his free love 60s persona was all well and good, but he was certainly heading for a nasty bout of electro-gonorrhoea, the noisy killer. Sure, I know that's a robot STI, but you simply don't know where Austin's been. So even in the confines of a spoof, it was nice to see some sort of development on the guy's part. Yet of course, as I just mentioned, this is a spoof, and normal rules don't normally apply. Couple this with the fact this is a parody of James Bond a canon which as many notorious irregularities and a penchant for maintaining the status quo when it comes to marriages (ask Diana Rigg) and you know they're going to do something suitably absurd to get Austin back to his ultra-humping starting point. After all, it probably wouldn't be fun to see the technicoloured one attempting to negotiate the hurdles of married life, so something stupid had to happen. As such, we got Vanessa-bot, and the regression back of Austin back into the sex-crazed loon we knew and loved. You'd of thought the guy could've spotted a Fembot by now (he's made out with them often enough), but here was one, masquerading as his wife in an excellent and audacious bit of spoof-plotting. The fun part is that he just might've caught electro-gonorrhoea anyhow, seeing as his wife was in fact three generations up from a toaster.
