If we’re ready to view the dance scene with the globe in The Great Dictator (1940) as a kind of earthquake, it seems that it produced at least two aftershocks. The first can be found in I’ll Never Heil Again by the Three Stooges (1941). The second is seen in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2022).

Three “laws” therefore seem to hold true :

  • The first relates to seismology. It states that aftershocks are usually weaker than the initial quake and decrease in force over time.
  • The second applies Marx’s observation (following Hegel) to cultural criticism: “All great events in history occur twice —the first time as a great tragedy, the second time as a sordid farce”.
  • The third pertains to fictional globology. Though still hypothetical, Austin Powers reinforces an ever-growing body of evidence. It asserts that the appearance of a globe in a film necessarily leads to the proliferation on screen of multiple other spheres of all sizes and kinds. Could you find them in the excerpt?
