The thing that weirds me out is that Austin Powers was frozen for 30 years and when he woke up, society had changed so much between the 60s and the 90s that he was hilariously out of place.
If the movie were made today, he'd be frozen for 30 years to go back to... the 90s. Obviously a lot has changed with technology since then, but the societal differences aren't as visible.
It seems like it'd be a movie where Austin barely understands the Internet and cell phones - and does stuff against social norms like trying to smoke in a restaurant.
It would however be hilarious if the opening number was Austin dressed in JNCO jeans and an oversized T-shirt dancing through the streets of London to grunge music.
Ska music. He is groovy.
While that's more accurate to the character, and I love the idea of a 90s Austin Powers with white man dreads and a rastacap... You know what, nevermind. I was going to say grunge is funnier but I'd happily watch either one.
