Just to be clear, despite the existence of an IMDB page for what is currently just called Austin Powers 4, written by Mike Meyers and directed by Jay Roach, this fourth installment of the satirical British secret agent movie series has not been confirmed by anyone involved. Leonard of DARTZ did not confirm it, nor did he confirm that the custom chair he designed and had built by metal art house Nester Customs is intended for Dr.Evil if the movie were to actually exist. He also did not deny it. In fact, he sent me this press release: Thanks for clearing that up, Leo. This time our creation is near-automobile, but very cinematic. I am calling it The Supreme Throne This Trone was created by our colleagues from the Nester Custom studio, according to the sketches of corporation design-supreme-leader – DARTZ Vader and the creative advices of Leo. This Trone is a mix between Mr. Evil chair from Austin Powers, Aladeen Trone from The Dictator and the DARTZ Motorz logo itself. It took about 8 months to create this masterpiece, and as soon as Mike Myers said that Austin Powers 4 will either be or not – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1218992/ we received permission to release this creation which either will be or not in part 4 of saga. The chair that may or may not be Dr.Evil’s chair is, excitingly, made with plenty of car parts: brake shoes, intake manifolds, European license plates, transmission gears, a fan clutch, and so on.
DARTZ has contributed cars and props to movies in the past, so what I’m inferring from Leonard isn’t all that preposterous. DARTZ provided gold, armored Prombon SUVs for the 2012 Sacha Baron Cohen movie The Dictator:
…and provided the absurdly over-the-top, gold-bottled, Most Expensive Vodka in the World, Russo-Baltique for the series House of Cards, starring the now known to be creepy Kevin Spacey:
So, he’s done this before. This could be real. Which means if it is, then the movie is likely real, too, as there’s not a huge point to making a special Dr.Evil chair if you don’t have a Dr.Evil to put in it. The DARTZ Movie Vehicle Department declines to comment one way or the other, but they were happy to provide me with pictures of the car-part-slathered chair, so you do the math. Also, let’s have a contest to identify the rest of the parts. The back of the seat looks sorta like a motorcycle fairing, or maybe the inside liner of one? Fan clutch mounted to where the headlight would be. Anywho, this is properly bonkers. Well done, Dartz! *Excrement Removal Portal. Imagine rolling backwards with two wheels first, so they have their “ground point” tugged well in towards the chair’s center, and leaning your body backwards at the same time, with allready all the heavy crap hanging out there. From there on it takes very little to get you “flying”, not looking very cool at all. As a movie prop used a few seconds, I guess it will work and look cool. But it really should have some smaller wheels or some wider outriggers. – But I would rather take a test ride in that thing than seeing another Austin Powers movie.
