We didn't make you watch everything to get ALL of the references. The black spy suit worn by Vanessa was a reference to a spy TV series, "The Avengers." Diana Rigg, the actress who married Bond in "Her Majesty's Secret Service" played in the Avengers and wore the suit. 60s movies and TV shows were prone to have musical / dance scenes, which is why the opener was like that. The musical interludes with the fast camera cuts were used in 60s TV shows like "The Monkees" and "Laugh-In," with the musicians being a reference to the Monkees and the blonde dancer in a bikini being a reference to Goldie Hawn, from "Laugh-In." Robert Wagner (Number Two) played lead in a 60s spy-type TV show "It Takes a Thief."

Hey Ashleigh, -Mike Myers plays both Austin Powers and Dr. Evil; Mike Myers is one of a handful of actors who actually shaved their heads for roles as he believed that when actors use "the skull cap" for shaved heads that it never looked real. He's wearing a wig for Austin. -The theme song that everyone's dancing to at the beginning of the song is called the "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones and this is one of his many, many hits including Michael Jackson's Thriller, the theme song to "Sanford and Son" and "We Are the World". He's also the father of Rashida Jones. -The cowboy in the bathroom was Tom Arnold; he was married to Rosanne Barr and starred in "True Lies" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. -Scott Evil is played by Seth Green. He was Oz on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and is the voice of Chris Griffin on "Family Guy" "Is Burt Bacharach a real person?" Yo, you hurt my feelings with that one! -Burt Bacharach co-wrote "What The World Needs Now Is Love" and "The Look of Love" which was the name of the song that was playing when Austin got into the hot tub with Alotta. -Yes, that's Carrie Fisher! -Mama Cass sang with the "Mamas and the Papas" -Reebok had shoes that you could "pump up". -Liberace was a world famous singer and pianist who was known for his quick wit. -The photo shoot during the end credits made sense as Liz Hurley was an actual model. And finally, the entire persona of Dr. Evil including the pinky held to the mouth and his speech patterns are based on Lorne Michaels who was his boss on SNL...I think he still runs the place...

He is actually considered a suspect in the death of Natalie Wood.

I'm probably not the first to say this but the guy who played Random Task is spending life in prison for kidnapping, sexually assaulting and torturing a woman. While serving his sentence he murdered his cellmate as well.

28:20 - Mama Cass (Cass Elliot) was a member of The Mamas and The Papas, if you've heard California Dreamin' (among a lot of their 60's hits). She was overweight and died from a heart attack. A friend of hers had passed along misinformation that she died from choking on a ham sandwich (Autopsy was just "heart attack" and no drugs).

More context for those interested: The heart attack was brought on by years of dieting, and at the time, she was on her most extreme one yet. A short time before she passed, she fainted while waiting to come on stage at the Johnny Carson show, if that gives you any idea of how unwell she was. I believe her ex-husband cracked the ham sandwich joke at her expense, and then others repeated it, some of whom claimed to be her friends. Her life was an all-around tragedy simply because she was overweight but too talented to ignore.

Austin Powers is less a parody & more a homage to Bond. Despite being born in Canada, Myers parents were from Liverpool, England. Myers said that the movie and the character were inspired by the British films, music and comedy of the 1960s and 70s his father had introduced him to as a child. “After my dad died in 1991, I was taking stock of his influence on me as a person and his influence on me with comedy in general. So Austin Powers was a tribute to my father, who [introduced me to] James Bond, Peter Sellers, the Beatles, The Goodies, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore." Myers also said hearing the Burt Bacharach song "The Look of Love" on the radio led to him reminiscing about the 1960s, which helped inspire the movie.

The guy that got crushed by the steam roller is Michael McDonald, whom you may know from the, now cancelled, skit comedy show "MadTv". He was also in the film Halloween Kills as one of Michael Myers's victims giving him the rare distinction of being the only actor to have been killed on-screen by both Mike Myers AND Michael Myers.

Despite the comments on Patreon, there's no need to stop watching the James Bond movies after seeing Austin Powers. There are still many great Bond films to come.

The second Austin Powers movie is called the Spy Who Shagged Me. The title is a parody of the title of the next James Bond movie that you need to watch, The Spy Who Loved Me. The Spy Who Shagged Me introduces Fat Bastard and Mini Me. The Spy Who Loved Me introduces Jaws, the metal mouthed villain

First and foremost, he shall always be Duke Phillips from The Critic to me.

The woman who gets punched in the face at the beginning and then 'unmasked' was Patricia Tallman, a prolific stuntwoman who also was the starring lead actress in the 90s remake of Night of the Living Dead, as well as a long-standing character on the series Babylon 5, where Alotta Fagina also had a brief role.

The little groovy dance sequences are an homage to the variety show Laugh In, where everybody was very mod, and they always had those little segues between the skits.

I've seen this movie a thousand times and I just now noticed that Number 2 has a fembot in one of the suitcases he's carrying out at the end.

Mike Meyer’s is also the voice behind Shrek in addition to being in “So I Married An Ax Murder” Ashley.

The inspiration for this character of Dr. Evil is based on Donald Pleasence's character in "You Only Live Twice"

The lady in the car at the beginning is Mimi Rogers. She was married to Tom Cruise for a hot minute. The cowboy in the toilet is Tom Arnold. He was married to Roseanne. He was really fun in True Lies as Arnold's spy buddy. The guy with the eye patch is Robert Wagner. He was married to Natalie Wood who drowned mysteriously. Scott Evil is Seth Green. He was really good as a werewolf on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and has a cool stop motion animation show on Comedy Central called Robot Chicken. Smart dude. Basil Exposition is Michael York. He played a beautiful D'Artagnan (sp?) in The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers.

"It's my happening baby, and it freaks me out!" is a line from the movie Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, from a script by the late movie critic Roger Ebert. There are so many Easter Eggs and quotes/allusions/references in this film, it would take me hours to list them all.

And that movie was a not-quite sequel to a trite cliched dramatic movie called simply Valley of the Dolls.

The writing for this film was incredible, and the delivery was unbelievable. It really took over the zeitgeist for the following months. And because it was such an extreme spoof of James Bond, everyone was in on the jokes.

"Its my happening baby and it freaks me out," is a line lifted straight out of "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." If AP were a train trip from Nashville to Vegas, BtVotD would go all the way to Hong Kong. TRIPPY, FREAKY, NUDIE ACID TRIP.

What I appreciate about this movie and why it has stuck with people all these years is that yeah its a parody and making fun of james bond and spy movies. But it completely stands on its own. You can enjoy this film just fine without ever having seen a james bond or spy movie. Its a fun adventure thats funny, well acted and just a good time.

Mindy Sterling (the woman always screaming) is actually the sweetest lady I've ever met. I met her at a comic con. She voiced one of my favorite characters from Legend of Korra. I paid for an autograph of my Pop, but she let me have a photo too. I'm always respectful when taking photos and don't touch the other person, but she wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big hug. Meeting her and then watching her play this role again actually makes it ever funnier to me.
