Sex and nudity in Austin Powers in Goldmember
This film contains a relentless stream of crude and suggestive content from start to finish. Sexual humor drives the plot and most of the dialogue, with pervasive innuendo, double entendres, and visual gags related to genitalia (e.g., a submarine shaped like male anatomy, the title character's name). An extended silhouette sequence creates the sight gag of Austin giving birth to Mini-Me. Other scenes involve characters with sexually suggestive names ('Fook Mi' and 'Fook Yu') and constant jokes about 'shagging' and…

Violence is frequent but always highly cartoonish and played for laughs. It includes slapstick fights where characters are hit with props, thrown into walls, and subjected to over-the-top beatdowns with no visible injury. A character is pushed into a shark tank, but the attack is implied rather than shown graphically. Other scenes involve a helicopter chase with explosions and a woman firing guns from her bra. The violence is consistently slapstick and without realistic consequence or gore.
Language in Austin Powers in Goldmember
Language is persistent throughout. The dialogue includes several uses of the F-word, which are bleeped or muted for comedic effect. Other profanity includes multiple uses of 'shit' (one in German with English subtitles), 'crap', 'ass', 'bastard', 'bitch', and 'damn'. There are also numerous crude anatomical terms and obscene hand gestures.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Austin Powers in Goldmember
Substance use is brief and incidental. Characters are seen casually drinking alcohol at parties and in a 1970s nightclub setting. There is also a brief mention of a Viagra pill getting stuck in a character's throat, which is played for laughs.
Mature themes in Austin Powers in Goldmember
The central theme is estranged family relationships, specifically Austin's desire for his father's approval and the surprise revelation that he and Dr. Evil are brothers. This is played for both comedy and some mild pathos, culminating in a group reconciliation. Other themes include loyalty and betrayal, as seen when Mini-Me defects from Dr. Evil's team to join Austin, and the parody of spy film tropes.
