Trivia:

Part of the influence for this film can be seen in an early sketch Mike Myers did for "Saturday Night Live" (1975) in which several of James Bond's nemeses complain about his invulnerability and how much easier it should be to kill him.

Goofs:

Continuity: During the bathroom drowning scene. Austin is holding the Irish man between his legs, in such a way that Austin would be stuck with his pants wrapped around base of toilet. Immediately after toilet flushes, Austin walks out without having freed himself.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Dr. Evil: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my underground lair. I have gathered here before me the world's deadliest assassins, and yet each of you has failed to kill Austin Powers. That makes me angry. And when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset... people DIE!

groovy

-International Man of Mystery Austin Powers freezes himself when his nemesis Dr. Evil does the same so he can be ready to battle him once Dr. Evil resurfaces. Years later Dr. Evil gets back and so does Austin and whiles back the two learn that the world has changed from ransom demands that need to be more than 1 million to how bad teeth isn't sexy anymore.

-For my money the funniest scene in the movie is after Dr. Evil makes his demand to the UN and proceeds to laugh uncontrollably with his men. The think that kills me about that scene is the last 10 seconds when the laughter dies down and they all slowly stop which just cracks the hell out of me. I've seen that scene about a good 8 times so far and still makes me laugh whenever it gets to that scene. That humorous slant on evil doing is spread throughout the whole movie as everything that we see in the Bond movies has been turned into comedy. From the hair on Connery's chest to the weird gadgets that seem to have the magical capabilities to help out in every situation. There's also the banter between the good guy and the bad guy, the extreme close up before the bad guy makes his ransom and of course the hot chick that the hero gets at the end of the movie. They almost pretty much cover all the stereotypes in the Spy Genre and even add in their own unique twist like Dr. Evil's son just being a regular guy that thinks it's better to just shoot Powers than waste time and money devising plans to destroy him.

-I think I'm probably one of the few people on the planet that hasn't seen "Wayne's Word", I've had several chances to see it on TV but always passed it up on the count that I'm not a huge fan of Myers or anyone that comes out of the SNL camp but if they are as funny as this movie then it's best that I give it a try. An actor playing multiple roles isn't brand new since Eddie Murphy did it so well in "The Nutty Professor" movies. Myers plays the two main characters Austin and Dr Evil. As Austin he's a James Bond type figure that was adored by women during his time despite having bad teeth and being hairier than Eli Roth. He's like the goofier less attractive cousin of James Bond and whiles he maybe a sex freak he still respects women and treats them with dignity. As Dr. Evil he's just a play on all the villain stereotypes which includes stroking a cat and laughing maniacally when he does something bad. He's not really an evil person but more like a huge a**hole, kinda like Cillian Murphy's portrayal of Scarecrow from "Batman Begins".

-My Favorite character in the movie is the Seth Green character simply for the fact that he's the most sensible person in the movie. Whiles his dad is coming up with pointless plans that will fail he's just busy watching porn or coming up with better ways to kill Powers like just shoot him which is what every normal human would do. Plus the fact that he looks nothing like his dad is hilarious too, his dad is bald and freaky looking where as he is the typical American youth. Liz Hurley is okay in the movie but you never really pay much attention. Michael York is also in the movie and whiles not being in the movie for a whole bunch the small bits that he has are pretty funny.

-those that abhor satirical humor will hate the movie but any normal person with the least bit of humor should find some fun out of the movie
