"Allow myself to introduce...myself."
That line still kills me.

Watched this as a kid in the theater and laughed so hard my sides hurt. Nervously watched this again for the first time in about 15 years about a week ago to see how it held up. I was pleasantly surprised. Mike Myers is one of a kind and has given me a lot of laughs over the last 25 or more years.

'Allow myself to introduce myself', is one of many great quotes. I abousetly love the Austin Powers movies. Keep up the great work mate.

I love Austin Powers movies, they're simple and pure fun.

Although Carey as Dr. Evil would have been awesome, but I'm kind of glad he turned it down. Liar Liar was awesome and Mike Myers was iconic as Dr. Evil. It was a win win.

Fun Fact: The Austin Powers theme song "Soul Bossa Nova" was composed and played by Quincy Jones for the first time in 1962

I still quote "Who does #2 work for?" When I go in restrooms😂

I remember Spy Who Shagged Me came out at the same time as the hugely awaited Star Wars Episode 1.


The marketing was genius: "If you see ONE movie this summer....see Star Wars! But if you see two, see Austin Powers."

04:48 Wait Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles? I love they way you just blew through that with no further information.

[matthewjones]

Yes, preparation H does work well...on the whole.

*Dr. EVIL* "You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!...Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for?!? Honestly? Throw me a bone here. What DO we have?"
*Number Two* "Sea Bass".
*Dr. Evil*
*Number Two* "They are MUTATED sea bass".
*Dr. Evil* "Really?? Are they ill-tempered?!?"
*Number Two* "Absolutely".
*Dr. Evil* "Oh. Well, thats a start".😁

Michael York aka Bassel Exposition was in my favorite 70s scifi movie Logan's Run.

[shainewhite]

7:45, I love that scene! Dr. Evil DOES NOT WANT to hear his sons opinions!😂

Minty Please do the Austin Powers sequels and will give one million dollars! RIP Verne Troyer as well.

[AceLM]

I never knew there was an uncut version of the movie.

[kwc]

Why does 1967 to 1997 seem so long, but 1990 to 2020 seem so short?

[marklowther]

Brilliant, Minty! Thank you for this delightful romp down memory lane.

American here: I was in college when the first Austin Powers movie came out and my friends and I loved it. In fact, there were Austin Powers references everywhere on campus to the point that I was burned out and didn't see the sequel until it hit video. I do think the Spy Who Shagged Me is actually better tbh. In my college group, on my campus, Austin Powers International man of Mystery was a hit.

I was in Norway in the later 90s and on the streets my friend and I were walking about town and amongst the Norwegian mirthy chatter between two young men, the unmistakable "Schwiiing!" was heard amongst their Norwegian conversation.
