Austin Powers Goldmember Hero SHAGUAR License Plate
It’s rare that comedy sequels can get better and better. Usually the concept that made the first one so fresh and entertaining starts to stale a bit as it is warmed up again and again. Not the case with the beloved franchise of Mike Myer’s “Austin Powers”. One reason the films continued to improve is that the original characters were so beautifully realized (especially Myer’s own Austin, Dr. Evil, and Fat Bastard), and the fact that Myer’s creates a new character for each new film. Many believe that “Goldmember” (2002), the third installment, is the best of the bunch. In this version, Austin must go back in time to the 1970’s to save his father, Basil (Michael York). “Goldmember” also begins with one of the most brilliant parody openings ever created. In this case, a perfect reproduction of the best in a “James Bond” film (some say, this is better than most James Bond movie openings!), which of course “Austin” is parody of itself. In this case, through the usual amazing stunts, we see “Austin” parachute into his infamous British Flag-painted extremely rare Jaguar XK8 convertible, with his famous English license plates: ‘SHAGUAR”. However in the end of the sequence, we realize that this is not Austin, but Tom Cruise as Austin (with Steven Spielberg “directing” the sequence – a Hollywood in-joke, since Spielberg has always said he’d love to direct a James Bond movie!). This incredible piece of memorabilia gives total justice to a film, if not a series of films that is resplendent with flashing colors, constant motion colors and action. This is the actual hero screen-used hero SHAGUAR license plate from “Goldmember”. The display is one of the most unique created. In two layers, encased in a special museum quality Plexiglas display case, the first layer is pointed with the English flag, along with two color screen shots of the Jag and license plate from the movie along with the legend that reads: “The ‘Shaguar’ numbered plate used on Austin Powers’ Jaguar in Austin Powers in Goldmember”. The title is in gold with the actual logo type from the movie. The second layer has matching flag colors with a custom display holding the actual plate! It comes with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. A truly one-of-kind piece of Hollywood memorabilia that can will only create smiles of delight wherever it is displayed. (The custom designed display case if approx 22x28x3”, the screen used hero numbered plate is approx 21x4”). Oversized item. Additional postage required.
