Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter bigfub
- Start date
Watched it last night on Amazon in anticipation of it arriving. Its surprising how many lines I still remember - and how funny I found it.
Glad I didnt cancel. Classic movie.

In hand photos :
Overall I'm happy with it for the price I paid. Nice embossing of the Austin Powers logo and silhouette as well as Top Secret on the front.
Presumably they realised their mistake regarding the 20th anniversary as there's no mention of it on the disc / slip and it's been completely removed from the steelbook too.
This steel has been released by Three Wolves who presumably now own the rights and not EIV (who I thought owned the UK rights to the film).

Here's a slightly better shot of the Austin Powers logo embossing, still not a great shot, but it hopefully gives you an idea 
No spot gloss at all, just a matte finish.
Cheers buddy. Thanks for the pics.
Steelbook looks decent, but I'm not a big enough fan of the film to warrant a purchase for me.
I like it, thanks for the pics @dagreaser - here's hoping mine will be waiting for me this evening! Good that they picked up on the 20th anniversary error too. Certainly looks worth the £13.49 I paid IMO

That's fair enough, love the film so it was a no brainer for me. One of the great things about the forum is when people share their in-hand photos. It really helps your buying decision if you're on the fence about ordering.

I'm surprised it only arrived today as mine was apparently sent on Friday, weirdly I bought Superbad over the weekend from them which was despatched on Monday and I got that in the post today too!
AWESOME pictures and very helpful post @dagreaser! Makes me even more eager to receive my copy now after viewing this... Should be in the post today
looks ok, the only thing I don't like is the weird silhouette of Powers on the front, would look better without it as it looks like he was thrown against the safe or something lol
Some nice 'bossing on this one, but I still hate the overall design... it's way too dull for a film that's pretty vibrant. Think I'd be tempted to leave the paper slip on just to give it some colour. 
still think the hot pink on the inside looks better, and should have been used as the outside color.
Can't think of a good reason for the debossed leaping figure apart from as a balance to the debossed 'Austin Powers' to maintains the symmetrical feel of the front.
I like it as it's certainly different, as far as I know, to all other images of front covers for this film and with the extras it's not a bad package for the price IMO.
The only thing I'd have preferred is some careful spot glossing to the shiny workings of the safe.
It goes without saying, thanks v. much @dagreaser for the excellent photos.
