I choose Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me title sequence that best suits the film. In the screen shot we see Austin Powers looking directly at the camera butt naked with the title of the film covering his private area. There are women, on the stairwell staring at him as if he was completely insane, which he might be. Around the title there are different colored flowers that in the title sequence spin in place. The title sequence is such a great fit for this movie because it doesn’t take itself very seriously, just like the movie. From the very beginning Austin Powers is ridiculous and funny and does the most absurd things like walking through the hotel lobby naked and dancing. Through out the title sequence there are sexual innuendos that are reappearing throughout the film, but they never go too far. The different colored flowers also go well with the film since it is a throwback to the 60’s from which Austin Powers is from. The colors and the flowers remind me of the hippies and Austin Powers can be considered to be one. The colors and the font of the title also creates contrast to the Austin Powers and his dancing in the hotel lobby in that every time we are about to see something inappropriate the letters or the flowers cover it up. The title sequence is basically a situation comedy that is happening right inform of our eyes. The rhythm in the sequence is also very memorable since Austin Powers seem to be dancing to the same music that we are hearing and therefore the camera follows him in a very fluid motion. The title sequence plays on the viewer’s imagination by having very suggestive objects all around Austin as he is walking around.
