Product Information

Creepy Hairless Animal: Dr. Evil has a Right-Hand Cat named Mr. Bigglesworth, who loses all of his hair during a cryogenics accident. Before the accident he's played by a white Persian cat, after it he's played by a Sphinx.

Euphemistic Names: Being an Affectionate Parody of the James Bond films, the Austin Powers films have at least one example of this in each film and it's Played for Laughs. Such examples include Number Two's companion Alotta Fagina, Austin's Love Interest in the second film Felicity Shagwell ("Shagwell by name, Shag very well by reputation"), Dr. Evil's spies Ivana Humpalot and Robin Swallows and an In-Universe film character named Dixie Normous. Nigel Powers drives a modified Mini Cooper for his spy car, a vehicle strongly associated with Michael Caine's The Italian Job (1969). 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. Big Little Man: Mini-Me's introduction. Upon the announcement that Dr. Evil has been cloned, a regular-sized silhouette of him is outside the door. The door open revealing that said clone is tiny.Our Man Flint, another James Bond parody film; Austin calls its sequel, In Like Flint, his favorite movie 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. It's entirely likely that, given he was taken down in Austin & Vanessa's hotel room, Random Task was simply sent to prison. Fan Disservice: Naked Fat Bastard. Send the Brain Bleach! Dr. Evil even lampshades this in-universe. Twinkle Smile: At the end while he's in bed with Vanessa Kensington Austin does this to show he's embraced dental hygiene.

While the Austin Powers films riff on James Bond, they also exist in conversation with the 007 franchise. As a result, increased knowledge of one can only deepen an appreciation of the other. So, in that spirit, join us, for a thorough breakdown of every single Bond reference in the Austin Powers trilogy. The name’s Bond. Bondathon. With twenty-four official James Bond films to conquer before No Time To Die hits theaters, Bond fan Anna Swanson and Bond newbie Meg Shields are diving deep on 007. Martinis shaken and beluga caviar in hand, the Double Take duo are making their way through the Bond corpus. In this entry, they’re on a quest to identify every single James Bond reference in the Austin Powers trilogy.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.
