Center
Primary
The film is a comedic parody of spy thrillers, focusing on absurd humor, pop culture references, and family reconciliation, rather than engaging with or promoting specific political ideologies.
The movie includes visible diversity in its cast, featuring a prominent Black female character, but does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on comedic parody rather than explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
Austin Powers in Goldmember features 'Number 3' (The Mole) whose effeminate characteristics and catchphrase are primarily used for comedic mockery. This stereotypical portrayal contributes to a negative net impact, as the character's identity is a source of ridicule rather than being depicted with dignity or complexity.
The film features Foxxy Cleopatra, a secret agent, who is shown using martial arts and hand-to-hand combat to defeat multiple male opponents in close-quarters physical combat.
The film introduces new characters like Foxy Cleopatra and Goldmember, but these are original to this installment. No established character from previous Austin Powers films or other source material has their gender altered.
All returning characters maintain their established race, and new characters introduced in this installment do not qualify as race swaps per the definition.
