Austin Powers | comment |
A spy comedy movie trilogy about a temporally displaced British Ministry of Defence agent, Austin Powers, and his archnemesis, Dr. Evil, who is obsessed with taking over the world and whose plans Austin consistently foils.When Dr. Evil cryogenically freezes himself and launches into space, Austin (believing himself the only one capable of battling this menace) has himself frozen as well to await the day that Dr. Evil returns. When they are duly thawed, thirty years later, both characters find themselves woefully outdated: Austin is a walking punchline from the swinging sixties, while Dr. Evil finds that his Bond-Villain shenanigans track differently in this time.The trilogy consists of: 1997 — Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery 1999 — Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me 2002 — Austin Powers in GoldmemberDirected by Jay Roach, the three films are parodies of the Spy Drama genre, particularly Harry Palmer and James Bond, to the point that the second and third movie titles are direct spoofs of James Bond movie titles and the first is literally just a common description of James Bond himself. As a finishing touch, Austin's florid sense of dress (perfectly at home in Las Vegas, but hard on the eyes anywhere else) was based on Jason King (Word of God has also acknowledged this, but they don't make such a big deal of it because modern audiences are more likely to have heard of James Bond). Lampshade Hanging is everywhere, and forget Leaning on the Fourth Wall, Austin dances on top of it. The series was known for its Acting for Two, as Mike Myers played four major characters: Austin; Dr. Evil; the second movie's henchman, a Fat Bastard aptly named "Fat Bastard"; and the third movie's co-villain Goldmember. | |

Faux Paw: When Austin first sees Felicity, He licks his hand and grooms himself like a cat, in some kind of enticement ritual. He follows up by pushing his "paws" forward as he makes his way toward Felicity. | |

Artistic License – Martial Arts | |
Austin Powers / int_141f6a73 | comment |
Artistic License – Martial Arts: Played for comedy with Austin's "judo" skills. For the unaware, judo is a martial art almost entirely based around grappling and throws, with strikes being outright banned in official competitions and formal sparring. Naturally, this means that Austin throws out almost nothing but strikes, punctuating them with things like "Judo chop!" and "Judo kick!" | |

Austin Powers / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The official guide book, The World of Austin Powers, fills in quite a few characters' backstories and other such things. Austin's cryogenic chamber is shown in a single small room in the second movie, rather than the large vault seen in the first. The World of Austin Powers explains that after Austin's mojo was successfully stolen, it was decided to move Austin's body to the celebrity vault, on the grounds that it would be more visible and thus better protected. | |

Outfit-Rip Sex Check: Early in the film Powers grabs a pretty mod girl and declares "it's a man, man!" and pulls her wig off, revealing a male spy. Later in the film Powers meets Basil Exposition's mother and he thinks it's another male spy in a little old lady disguise, but it turns out this one really is a little old lady. | |

Artistic License – Geology | |
Austin Powers / int_1a5bba2b | comment |
Artistic License – Geology: A pretty minor example: Dr. Evil refers to the Earth's core as the "liquid-hot magma core". The Earth's innermost core is a mass of iron and nickel, solidified by the intense pressure around it. Though Dr. Evil might be referring to the outer core, which is liquid. Even if Austin hadn't been able to stop the bomb from going off, it would not have happened anyway since the heat in the outer core, which can reach almost 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, would have long-since melted the detonation devices into useless clumps of slag and the warhead would have just melted, provided the extreme temperatures didn't cause the drill itself to melt. | |

The third opens with a fake Austin Powers movie filled with these. | |

Austin Powers / int_1cdada2a | comment |
Censored Title: The movie was often advertised in Britain as "The Spy Who...", leaving out the last two words. In Britain, "shag" is a much dirtier word than it is in North America. Averted or inverted (depending on whether the new title is considered more offensive than the original) in Norway, however, where the title translated as The Spy Who Spermed Me. | |

A few minutes later, Mini-Me escorts Nigel Powers to his prison cell and Nigel asks to see Mini-Me's genitals, seemingly out of morbid curiosity. Nigel calls Mini-Me a "tripod" for this. | |

However, the floss and toothpaste actually do come in handy to escape a death trap later on. | |

Anachronism Stew: Elvis Costello makes an appearance singing for Austin and Felicity, but the scene in question took place in 1969, which meant he would've only been fifteen years old (and looked much older than that). This is played for laughs like everything else. Burt Bacharach and Woody Harrelson also look to be as old as they were in 1999 in 1969. | |

Austin Powers / int_26beee71 | comment |
Taught by Experience: Played for dramatic irony with Austin when Mini-Me tries to defect (and Austin thinks the clone's trying to kill him again). When Mini-Me tries to peacefully surrender, Austin (who's been left out of the loop about the defection) doesn't believe him. After all, this is ''exactly'' what Mini-Me did on the Moon Base in the previous film before kicking the crap out of Austin. So, Austin not unreasonably thinks he's being suckered again and refuses to fall for this stunt twice (and thus doesn't realize it's not an act). | |

When Austin and Vanessa are infiltrating Virtucon, they notice an extremely heavyset female scientist and a thin, lanky scientist almost seven feet tall go into the restrooms; they follow them, and emerge wearing a pair of perfectly-fitting uniforms. They also do this right in front of the tour guide, who alerts the guards, making the whole charade pointless. | |

Austin Powers / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: There's a point during the Overly Long Gag of the evil laughing scene in the first film where Mike Myers reverts to his normal voice. In the second film, when Austin asks Mustafa "Where is Dr. Evil hiding?", you can clearly hear Mike Myers' own voice. While portraying Fat Bastard, Myers occasionally slips into his Austin Powers accent, notably when Fat Bastard wants to eat Mini-Me ("Wait a minute, he kinda looks like a baby..."). Meyers notes in the commentary that Dr. Evil sounds pretty Canadian a few times in Goldmember, most of all with the line "I was adopted by frickin' Belgians, eh!" | |

No Fourth Wall: In the second film, Basil and Austin advise the audience not to think too hard about the time travel aspect of the story. Austin also introduces Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones and Elvis Costello to the viewers. In the third film, an obvious example is when Austin and Fat Bastard are fighting and Fat Bastard does "the ultimate wire-fighting maneuver", only for one of his wires to break. Not to mention the numerous times when Austin looks directly at the camera when saying something. One example is during the Mr. Roboto scene. Austin, after misreading several subtitles for Mr. Roboto's dialogue, is pretty weirded out. Mr. Roboto says "Why don't I just speak English?" This leads to: Another camera look occurs when Austin is shot at on the ladder near the end and falls, pulling down Dr. Evil's pants to stop his fall. He says: | |

Austin Powers / int_450a63b5 | comment |
Player Nudge: The blackjack dealer at the casino does this twice. The first time, he advises Number Two against hitting on 17. Number Two ignores this, saying, "I like to live dangerously." Unbeknownst to the dealer, Number Two used the X-ray vision from his eyepatch to see that his next card will put him at 21. The second time, Austin wants to stay on 5. The dealer tells Austin to hit, but Austin says, "I also like to live dangerously." The dealer easily beats Austin's 5 with 20. | |

Austin Powers / int_45157041 | comment |
Even Mooks Have Loved Ones: A few scenes (which were cut from the American release, but included in most international ones) are cutaways about the friends and loved ones of guards Austin kills being informed: one with friends at his bachelor party wondering why he's late, and the other his girlfriend and her son (who considers the guard a substitute father figure). | |

You Have Failed Me: Dr. Evil punishes his minions by dumping them through a trapdoor to be burned alive. After being thawed, Dr. Evil is angry that Mr. Bigglesworth is now devoid of fur, blaming this on Mustafa. As punishment, Mustafa gets dumped into the furnace below; he survives, but he's "very badly burned". Shortly thereafter, he's shot by another mook whose first shot registers a non-lethal hit, but gets the kill with the second. His botched execution is Played for Laughs. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Austin Powers / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: In the first movie, Austin showed little regard for his poor oral hygiene, reacting with confusion when Vanessa tried to introduce him to modern dental products (and annoyance when she seemed to be doing so a second time), only cleaning up his teeth after a Time Skip. In the second movie, learning that travelling back to the sixties has somehow reverted his teeth back to their former state leads Austin to self-consciously try to hide them. | |

Austin Powers / int_4acee1ed | comment |
Fish out of Temporal Water: Austin and Dr. Evil have to face the changes arisen from being frozen 30 years. Which includes: Two plots Dr. Evil cooked up in the 60's have already happened in the 90's. He's too late to the punch to damage the ozone layer and his Royal Family sex scandal plot won't work because there already was a Royal Family sex scandal. Austin's swinging lifestyle and velvet suits are no longer in fashion in the 90's and he now comes off as weird instead of hip. Both of them being deeply confused by modern technology and culture. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Austin Powers / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Despite all of the goofy comedy, the film is more straightforward as a parody of 60's Bond films. It even features some suprisingly-poignant personality growth for Austin himself, who, being confronted with the realities of the world he wakes up in and his fledgling relationship with Vanessa, slowly changes into a more mature version of himself. Nearly all of this is ejected for the sequels, which choose instead to focus on a more Denser and Wackier approach, fourth wall breaking, and LOTS of self-deprecation and toilet humor. | |

Good Pays Better: Played With. In every movie, Number Two will tell Doctor Evil that they're making a lot more money with legitimate business operations than evil plans. In response, Dr. Evil says "SILENCE, NUMBER TWO!" and then does the Evil Plan anyway. Virtucons' legitimate businesses might not qualify as "good", but they are much more morally neutral than what Dr Evil wants. | |

In both cases, the families and friends are fully aware, that the mook is a henchman of Dr. Evil, and act like it's just a normal job. | |

Austin Powers / int_6201e8b0 | comment |
I Have Your Wife: Though Austin hadn't married Vanessa yet at this point, Alotta Fagina takes Vanessa hostage when Austin is on the verge of bringing Dr. Evil to justice. This gives Dr. Evil a chance to escape, despite the failed insurrection by Number Two and Vanessa knocking Alotta out and escaping with Austin. | |

Intimate Artistry: Austin was flirting with Vanessa from the very instant that he awoke from his cryogenic freezing, but he only seemed to progress from purely-physical attraction to an emotional connection when she briefly posed for photographs for him when they were on a surveillance mission. After saying how beautiful she was he took her out for a night on the town, where she first began to return his affections. | |

Implacable Man: Played for laughs with assassin Robin Spitz-Swallows: she survives a knife in the back, a dozen bullets in the back, a shot from a bazooka in the face, and a ridiculously high fall out of a window with Austin landing on top of her. A spot of Lampshade Hanging occurs when Austin cries "Why won't you die?!" A deleted scene shows that he keeps her in the trunk of his car to deflect gunfire. | |

Grossout Fakeout: Several variants of this trope were used in the trilogy; most notably Austin's fight in a toilet stall with O'Brien in the first film (the man in the stall next to him thinks Austin is constipated), and the two "silhouette gags" in the latter two movies (a scene with Austin and Felicity in a tent in the second film makes it look like Felicity is preforming a series of Ass Shoves, while in the third film Austin and Mini-Me are behind a privacy screen and make it look like Austin has a Gag Penis). | |

Help Mistaken for Attack: Austin returns to his hotel room to find Mini-Me grinning at him while holding up a letter opener. The audience knows that Mini-Me is here because he defected from Dr. Evil (the "help") and that he was just using the letter opener to open some mail, but Austin immediately reads it as an ambush (the "attack") and gives him a sound thrashing. | |

Austin Powers / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Unstoppable Rage: After a Klansmen called Scott Evil a "freak", Dr. Evil ends up going ballistic. He ends up fighting even when being restrained by Steve Wilkos and the other members of security, and after seemingly calming down, he then rushes to attack him again (something that never happens on the Jerry Springer show). And then instigates a full-out brawl on the set. Eventually, he seems calmed down... until Jerry Springer tells security to get Dr. Evil out of the premises ("get this jerk out of here"), upon which his rage was reawakened, and starts fighting with the host, eventually managing to smash a globe in the ensuing stage riot. | |

Deconstructive Parody | |
Austin Powers / int_6dcbe9aa | comment |
Deconstructive Parody: The series is a parody of James Bond specifically, and the counter-culture movement of the Sixties in general. Mostly, it does this with a wink and a nod by showing the Surprisingly Realistic Outcomes of trying to be either a super-spy or a supervillain, or how Austin is a Fish out of Temporal Water. In the first movie, Dr. Evil wants sharks with Frickin' Laser Beams attached to their heads. Number Two informs Dr. Evil that they couldn't get any, because sharks ending up on the endangered species list meant that "it would have taken months to clear up all the red tape". In the second movie, Dr. Evil demands one hundred billion dollars from the United States government in 1969. The president, while laughing, informs Dr. Evil that such an amount of money doesn't even exist. The third movie averts You Can't Thwart Stage One by having Austin thwart Dr. Evil at Stage One, catching him in the act of announcing his Evil Plan and sending him to jail right then and there. | |

One of the characters (presumably an American) is dressed as a cowboy. When we first see Fat Bastard he's wearing a tam o'shanter and a kilt while bagpipe music plays. | |

In the first movie, Dr. Evil wants sharks with Frickin' Laser Beams attached to their heads. Number Two informs Dr. Evil that they couldn't get any, because sharks ending up on the endangered species list meant that "it would have taken months to clear up all the red tape". | |

Squirrels in My Pants: During Austin's fight with Mini-Me on the moonbase, Mini-Me rips a hole in the crotch part of Austin's space suit and proceeds to climb inside. Austin initially panics when Mini-Me begins to crawl around inside his suit, but then begins to fidget around and giggle saying that it tickles. He then traps Mini-Me and then proceeds to eject him out the rear end of his suit through a nearby space toilet. | |

Random Events Plot | |
Austin Powers / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: The first half of the film. There's no reason given why Dr. Evil wants Nigel Powers abducted (while there are several plausible, justifiable reasons, he's never shown an interest in Austin's father before), why Nigel was taken to Goldmember's club in 1975 instead of just held somewhere in the present, or how Dr. Evil arranged his abduction from prison.note The opening scene implied Dr. Evil hadn't made contact with Goldmember yet. While it is possible that Number 2 or someone else could have contacted Goldmember and planned the abduction afterward, Dr. Evil either wouldn't know or had such a back-up plan in place already, and that just raises more questions. It is also unclear why Dr. Evil would reveal this to Austin when he could have sent him on a wild goose chase to somewhere else. The trope could be considered justified given the franchise is primarily a comedy, and Dr. Evil isn't known for his well thought-out plans, but it's still quite disjointed compared to the first two films. Once the action moves to Japan, things settle down into a more coherent plot structure. | |

Intimate Lotion Application | |
Austin Powers / int_a0a364d5 | comment |
Intimate Lotion Application: Felicity asks Austin to give her a Massage of Love, which first involves rubbing her back with scented oils. Since Austin has recently lost his mojo (the part of him that makes him so confident and skilled with women), he approaches the act with awkwardness and nervousness, and when she shows her bare back to him he ends up squeezing the bottle so hard the oil spills out. | |

Overly Long Gag | |
Austin Powers / int_a188ac4b | comment |
Overly Long Gag: The series lampshades, spoofs, and plays it straight as one of their overlong running gags is interrupted by a cameo from The Osbournes... who then turn out to be the part of it that brings it full circle. Case in point, Austin's "evacuation" from the first movie. Dr. Evil leads his underlings in an extended evil laugh, which goes on for several seconds until it awkwardly peters out. The near deaths of Mustafa and his crying out for help. "Shh." "Zip it." "SCOTTY DON'T!" | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Austin Powers / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: In the opening of the first movie, Dr. Evil eliminates his minions who have failed him... cue Austin dancing to Soul Bossa Nova. In the extended version of the first film, every time Austin kills a Mook, the film immediately clips to about 30 seconds worth of the mook's mourning friends and family. Given the silliness of the first film, Austin's speech to Dr. Evil about "if we'd known the consequences of our actions we'd have done things differently" referring to the Free Love era is actually straightforward and serious (and reflects real-world opinions of those who lived through the era). In the second film, Austin mourns over Vanessa being a Fembot... until he realizes this means he's single again. OH BEHAVE! [cue Soul Boss Nova again!] In the second and third films, Fat Bastard gives a heartfelt speech about his weight... then farts. | |

The Loins Sleep Tonight: Austin, while in the middle of sex with Dr. Evil's spy Ivana Humpalot, suddenly loses his erection in 1999 when his mojo (libido/sex drive/virility) is stolen from his cryogenically frozen body in 1969. He then travels back to the Swingin' Sixties to reclaim his mojo and cure his erectile dysfunction. His desire to get his groove back is only heightened when the sexy spy/hippie Felicity Shagwell comes his way. With both wanting to shag each other, Felicity increases the swinger's desire to cure his impotency and get his mojo back from Dr. Evil so Austin and Felicity can finally do the horizontal tango. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
Austin Powers / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: When Austin catches Dr. Evil attempting to escape after Austin stopped the nuclear warhead, Dr. Evil attempts to impose this on Austin. He argues that free love and anything Austin stood up for in the 1960's is considered "evil", but Austin argues that they aren't and he's come to understand how much the world changed but can be similar motives adapted for the 1990's, saying "It's freedom, baby, Yeah!" Dr. Evil is still smug that even though Austin has caught him, Dr. Evil says "Freedom failed" and Austin would be forced to live with all that, and not in a good way. Luckily for Dr. Evil, Alotta Fagina arrives holding Vanessa hostage. This gives Dr. Evil a chance to escape after a failed intervention by Number Two. | |

Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: When Austin reunites with his father, in order to prevent the two American women who were keeping tabs on them from knowing what they are talking about, they opt to discus the details in English English, and communicate entirely in Cockney slang. The subtitler eventually gives up. (Although that might be because Austin and his father are both talking at the same time, rendering what each of them is saying unintelligible). | |

Spies Are Lecherous | |
Austin Powers / int_bc07ffe3 | comment |
Spies Are Lecherous: Austin is an extremely promiscuous super-spy who is in his prime during the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and really lives by it. Despite being a homely man with Nerd Glasses and British Teeth, he's extremely popular with the ladies. In his second movie, his "mojo" gets stolen, making him temporarily lose his sexual prowess. | |

You Just Told Me: Subverted. Austin tricks Alotta Fagina, into admitting her boss is into "big underground drills," but he knew already, and did this to look suave. Counts as a spoof as well, since he is the one who brought up the drills, so he obviously already knew. | |

Better than a Bare Bulb: Every Bond trope from Death Trap to Bond Girl is ubiquitously pointed out and made fun of. By Goldmember, they frequent hang a lampshade on their own jokes, old and new. Goldmember implies that his weird accent automatically makes him funny and makes sure everyone notices his "subtle" references to music lyrics.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Dr. Evil's minions, Alotta Fagina and Random Task aren't mentioned after the first movie. The former could have been killed in the lair explosion but so should have Frau and Scott. It's entirely likely that, given he was taken down in Austin & Vanessa's hotel room, Random Task was simply sent to prison. Felicity Shagwell in the third movie. Mr. Bigglesworth (and Mini-Mr. Bigglesworth) is also absent in the third movie. | |

Something Else Also Rises: During the ending of the first movie, Austin reminisces about the moment he and Vanessa met. As he recalls how beautiful and sexy he thought she was, Vanessa gradually blows up a pink, tubular balloon. Austin then asks if Vanessa felt the same way, but Vanessa replies that she actually couldn't stop staring at his teeth. Both Austin and the balloon promptly deflate. In the second movie, Austin is asked to put some lotion on Felicity Shagwell's back, and squeezes the bottle a little too hard... | |

Artistic Licence: To British viewers at least, the "newspaper" Austin reads in the space station is clearly a mockup designed by somebody who has never seen the real paper: Although the paper is nicknamed "the London Times", to distinguish it from similarly-named papers such as the New York Times, its official name (the one on the masthead) is "The Times". The masthead design is totally wrong. In particular, the masthead (like the rest of the paper) is in Times New Roman, not the Fraktur typeface used. (Many British papers have moved away from the Fraktur tradition.) | |

Austin Powers / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: In IMoM, our first view of Vanessa Kensington via a slow pan up her entire body. Felicity Shagwell is introduced in a similar way to the above. In a deleted scene from the second film, Austin shakes Robin Swallows by the hand really hard just to watch her cleavage bounce up and down. During the chess scene, the camera pans down to Ivana Humpalot's chest as she squeezes her breasts together. The guy Felicity dances with in her first scene openly stares at her chest. After Felicity flirtatiously suggests that Austin has met his match in her, she walks away seductively. Austin can't keep his eyes off her. Foxxy's introductory scene has Austin entranced. | |

Dr. Evil only saves himself by mentioning that Austin could undo Felicity's death by using time travel. | |

Groin Attack: Downplayed near the end of the first film. Austin leaps into his Jaguar, only to land with his groin hitting the stick shift. Once Vanessa gets into the car, she moves the shifter and accidentally hits Austin in the same tender area. Mini-Me first kicks, then bites Austin in the junk in the second film, during their fight on the moon base. He kicks him there again during their brief fight in the third film. Also in the third film, he accidentally sends a model meteor right into Dr. Evil's testicles. Way to go, A-hole! Felicity pulls it off on Fat Bastard when she kicks him in the "mommy-daddy button" near the end of the second film, causing Austin to lecture her: In the third film, Fat Bastard invokes this during his sumo wrestling match. | |

Cartwright Curse: Played for laughs throughout the series in parody of James Bond's habit of hooking up with a new beautiful woman in each movie who disappears with little to no fanfare in the next.

Something Something Leonard Bernstein | |
Austin Powers / int_f3faf1d4 | comment |
Something Something Leonard Bernstein: Dr. Evil and Mini Me attempt to perform "What If God Was One Of Us" for their assosciates. Dr Evil can only remember the lyrics to the first two lines and resorts to singing "bloo-bloo-bloo" to fill in the rest. | |

Overly Long Scream | |
Austin Powers / int_f466c9b1 | comment |
Overly Long Scream: Parodied. A Mook lets off a few loud Big "NO!" screams, one after another, as a steamroller is about to crush him. This is despite the fact that he's several yards away from the steamroller, which is going so slowly that the mook could just walk to escape it. | |

Exposed Embarrassing Purchase | |
Austin Powers / int_f4b18944 | comment |
Exposed Embarrassing Purchase: The Swedish Penis Enlarger Pump, though in this case he'd already bought it and wasn't in a store. His embarrassment isn't helped by the fact that he kept all the purchase information... or that he apparently wrote a book about how much he loves it. | |

Product Placement | |
Austin Powers / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: International Man of Mystery. While Austin is catching up on events of the last thirty years (while he was a Human Popsicle), there are many empty cans of the Tab soft drink sitting on the table in front of him. The minibar in Austin's Japanese hotel room has cans of Pepsi Twist. In Goldmember, Austin uses a prominently placed MacBook. Also, contrasting his Jaguar that was renamed "Shaguar" from the beginning, his new VW Beetle sports its actual VW logo on the grill, and the camera lingers on it for a while when the car is introduced. | |

Americans Are Cowboys | |
Austin Powers / int_f51dd9ec | comment |
When Dr. Evil calls up the United Nations Secret Meeting Room to give his ultimatum during the first movie, many of the occupants are dressed in costumes indicating their native countries (two Japanese are dressed as a geisha and a sumo wrestler, a British representative is wearing a Beefeater costume, a Spaniard is dressed as a matador, etc.). One of the characters (presumably an American) is dressed as a cowboy. | |

Shaking the Rump | |
Austin Powers / int_f5289c99 | comment |
Shaking the Rump: Austin shakes his rear (after stripping down to his underwear) while using his mojo to overwhelm the Fembots. Felicity does this in front of Austin in her first scene, while wearing skin-tight shorts, no less. | |

Complexity Addiction | |
Austin Powers / int_f6b698ac | comment |
Complexity Addiction: Dr Evil is fond of elaborate methods, but it turns out his business took it a step up when it came to feeding his captives to aquatic predators. Trying to get sharks proved too difficult once they were listed as endangered species, so instead of just getting piranhas or crocodiles, they went with "genetically modifying an otherwise non-threatening fish". | |

The Body Parts That Must Not Be Named: Parodied. When Dr. Evil flies his phallic rocket, everyone says something along the lines of "It looks like a big..." but is cut off by the next person, saying a synonym for penis in an unrelated concept. | |

Joke Exhaustion | |
Austin Powers / int_f8742682 | comment |
Joke Exhaustion: Whenever Austin offs a mook, he'll rattle off a list of incredibly lame Bond one liners about the nature of said mook's death. He generally has to be stopped by someone else before he'll move on. There is also a bunch of sexual euphemisms at the end. | |

Austin Powers / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: The Big Boy rocket begins to glow from re-entry the instant it begins to move downwards. But that glow is caused by compression heating which increases with the density of the atmosphere you're falling through at extreme altitudes it would still have a small effect and outside the atmosphere it does not occur at all. | |

Fun with Subtitles | |
Austin Powers / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: Mr. Roboto, when talking to Austin Powers and Foxxy Cleopatra, speaks in subtitles. With the series's usual No Fourth Wall comedy, the white objects in Mr. Roboto's room obscure some of his subtitles which are mistaken for much dirtier phrases until they are clarified. This is promptly Lampshaded by Austin Powers after Mr. Roboto reveals he can speak English the entire time. | |

Brick Joke | |
Austin Powers / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the first film, Austin claims to hate Carnies (or "circus folk") because they "smell like cabbage". Two films later, his father is ambushed by Mini-Me. His response? "I thought I smelled cabbage." When the first movie begins Austin has just propositioned a pair of Japanese twins before he's called away to save the world, much to his dismay. Two movies later (again) the list above appears. In the first movie, Dr. Evil says to Austin that they are 'not so different' (which also doubles as a comedic Actor Allusion), and in the second Dr. Evil pulls a Luke, I Am Your Father moment to Austin seemingly just to mess with him. In the third movie it is revealed that they are brothers. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
Austin Powers / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Generally used, but the second movie is the most blatant about it. Austin time-travels ten minutes back in time to just when Felicity's chamber was being flooded with poison gas... and pauses to have a chat with himself that lasts longer than it originally took the chamber to flood with gas. Time apparently just halts for this, and doesn't start up again until past-Austin shoots some mooks. | |
