the more times i watch this movie the more i get convinced elizabeth hurley's role is not the devil, right from the start all people around elliot treats him miserably, then hurley comes along and claims she knows everything about him and rather is playful and nice with him than menacing and scheming, and throughout the movie her purpose seem to be to set him straight and make him a more enlightened fella, spoiler, at the end when he manages to break the contract, she seems more revealed than disappointed, like it took him that long to figure it out, for goodness sake she even says "think about that" before she throws him in jail with the guy some interpret to be an angel. around austin powers and this board there keep being comments about elizabeth hurley's acting, i can't see it myself, i just think there is really nothing wrong with elizabeth hurley's acting in this, i think that's just a general view people get sucked into because she is a model, i'm so used of watching this now whenever it airs i can't remember my initial reaction to it as a young teen, but i must have been just blown away by hurley and her different hot outfits, probably what got me into the movie in the first place, notice how they also dress her up differently in austin powers, i think both her acting and looks is superior in this though, the best parts are the bits with elliot and her interacting, i tend to skip the dream sequences as this airs. my thought on this movie may seem over analysing and far out, but i've noticed there seem to be a variety of ways to interpret harold ramis fantasy movies.
