Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Plot NATO’s monitoring facility in Guam observes the return of Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) and informs British intelligence. At Dr. Evil’s Seattle headquarters, Dr. Evil is presented with a one-eighth-size clone of himself (Verne Troyer) whom he calls Mini-Me. Number Two (Robert Wagner), who survived his incineration towards the end of the previous film, also reveals the enormous profits they have made by legitimately investing in a previously unknown startup company called "Starbucks". However, Dr. Evil is unimpressed and unveils his latest evil plan—he has developed a "time machine" to go back to the sixties and steal Austin Powers’(also Mike Myers) mojo, a fluid inside his testicles which is the source of Austin's incredible sexual prowess and appeal. Meanwhile, back in 1999, Austin is still enjoying his honeymoon with his wife—the former Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley). Unfortunately, something goes amiss, and it turns out that she is actually one of Dr. Evil’s kamikaze fembots who attempts to kill Austin after being malfunctioned by Austin's T.V. remote, but eventually self-destructs. He grieves briefly, but then proceeds to the lobby naked and celebrates being single again. Dr. Evil and Mini-Me go back to 1969 and meet up with a younger Number Two (Rob Lowe) and (a not-so-young) Frau Farbissina (Mindy Sterling). A disgruntled“Scottish Guard”with unusual eating habits called Fat Bastard (again, Mike Myers) has been hired to extract Austin’s mojo from his frozen body at the Ministry of Defence Cryo Chamber. British intelligence warns Austin that one of Dr Evil’s agents is after him, and during a photo shoot the wanton Ivana Humpalot (Kristen Johnston) seduces him, but at the last moment she admits to her orders and claims he is too sexy. They then proceed to have sex in his bed. Unfortunately they do not get far before he discovers that he has lost his mojo, and is therefore impotent. The MOD learns that Dr. Evil has developed a time machine and sends Austin back to 1969 with its own time travel device, in a convertible Volkswagen New Beetle painted with 1960s LSD-themed colours. Austin arrives back at a party in his London pad and with the assistance of a CIA agent, Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham), escapes another assassination attempt by two of Dr. Evil’s operatives. However, the two of them are chased by Mustafa (Will Ferrell), yet another of Dr. Evil's henchmen, and when caught he reveals the existence of a secret volcano lair (due to an inability to withhold the answer when asked the same question three times), but is prevented from divulging its location because of Mini-Me shooting him in the neck with a dart. He falls off a cliff. Mustafa is still alive but very badly injured. He asks Austin for help, but Austin ignores him. After examining photographs from the crime scene at MOD headquarters, Austin identifies Fat Bastard as the perpetrator of the theft. At Dr. Evil’s secret volcano lair, Fat Bastard arrives with Austin’s mojo. Dr. Evil drinks some of it and engages in some“private time”with Frau Farbissina. This results in an awkward“sometime after”situation when Frau reveals that she is“late.”However, at the same moment Scott (Seth Green), Dr. Evil's son, arrives through the time portal. Dr. Evil announces his latest plan: to hold the United States—and the whole world—ransom by threatening to destroy Washington D.C., and then additional major cities each hour, using a giant "laser" on the moon. In London, Austin and Felicity get to know each other, and when Felicity tries to have sex with Austin, he rejects her because of his lost mojo. Under MOD instructions to implant a homing device, Felicity seduces Fat Bastard. She plants it in his buttocks. Which ends with him having sex with her. Unfortunately, Fat Bastard forces it out of his bowels into a Paddington Station toilet, but a stool sample (which Austin accidentally drinks, mistaking it as coffee) from the scene is analyzed to reveal traces of a rare vegetable that only grows on one Caribbean island. Austin and Felicity arrive on the island, but are immediately apprehended. They are put in a cell with a single guard who is overcome when Felicity shows off her breasts. Dr. Evil and Mini-Me leave for the moon to install the giant laser and are followed by Austin and Felicity, who hitch a ride on Apollo 11. In Dr. Evil’s moon base, Austin battles with Mini-Me, eventually flushing him into space. As Austin confronts Dr. Evil, Dr. Evil gives him a choice: save Felicity or the world. Felicity is locked in a chamber with poison gas. She tells him to save the world and he succeeds in doing so by kicking Frau, diverting it and saving

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Washington D.C. Unfortunately, Felicity is killed by the poison gas. He chases Dr. Evil and shoots him in the leg. Before Austin kills him however, Dr. Evil tells him he could use the "time machine" to go back in time to save Felicity and the world. Austin does and travels backwards ten minutes and meets up with himself to save both the world and Felicity. Foiled again, Dr. Evil initiates the self-destruction mechanism of the moon base and escapes in his rocket after throwing the bottle of Austin's mojo in the air. Both Austins try to catch it but bump into each other and it crashes on the floor, destroying his mojo. However, Felicity points out that all the things he has done show that he never really lost his mojo in the first place. With seconds to spare they escape through the time portal back to 1999. Back at Austin's Pad, Fat Bastard makes another attempt to assassinate Austin, but Felicity distracts him by asking him is he happy. After an emotional moment, he is snapped back into reality and Felicity disarms him and kicks him in the "Mommy and Daddy Button" . Fat Bastard falls and breaks the dishes. Afterwards, they (along with many other people) have a party. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil recovers Mini-Me from space and once again vows to "get" Austin Powers. Later, onJerry Springer, Scott learns he was not created in a test tube but is actually the love child of Dr. Evil and Frau Farbissina. During the credits, Austin is seen returning to his pad, only to hear Felicity having sex with another man. When he enters the room, he discovers that it is in fact the past Austin, who makes the claim that since he and Austin are the same person, it's not cheating. Austin of course forgives Felicity ("I can't blame you, Felicity, I mean... the man is handsome, baby!") As he discovers he's got his mojo back, both Austins then make their move on Felicity as the clip fades to the credits. After the credits, Mustafa, still at the bottom of the cliff, is asking for help.

Production

Title censorship When the film was released, the title proved controversial in the United Kingdom, where the wordshagis used to refer to sexual intercourse. In the UK, two sets of TV adverts for the film existed, for showing before and after the watershed. The former was designed to air during daytime hours and only gave part of the title, (Austin Powers: The Spy Who—), before cutting off with one of a range of slightly suggestive scenes from the film, such as Austin squeezing out the contents of a massage oil bottle. The post watershed adverts, aired later in the evening, gave the full title. There were also two variations of the posters; one of them asterisked out the middle of the offending word or had named the film as [3] Austin Powers 2. [3] Singapore briefly forced a title change toThe Spy Who Shioked Me(shiokedmeans“treated nicely”Finland the). In film was calledAgentti joka tuuppasi minua(The spy who bumped me), in ChinaThe Spy Who Liked Me a Lot. The Italian version was titledLa spia che ci provava, which can be roughly translated asThe spy who tried to seduce, but in a slightly more provocative way. In Brazil, it was named asAustin Powers - O Agente Bond Cama, roughly translated asThe Spy Good in Bed(a gag with the pronunciation of James Bond's last name, which can be interpreted as "bom de", meaning "good at something"). Not all countries translated the title into something less raunchy. The Norwegian title of the movie isSpionen som spermet meg, which is a slightly dirtier way of saying“The Spy Who Ejaculated on Me”. In Quebec, the title is "Austin Powers: Agent 00sexe" (Austin Powers: Agent 00sex). The German title is "Spion in geheimer Missionarsstellung", roughly translatable to "Spy on a secret missionary position" - "In geheimer Mission" ("On a secret Mission") was the German title of the TV-series original ofMission: Impossible.

Deleted scenes As with the first film, the international release ofAustin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Mediffers from its North American releases, as it includes scenes omitted in the North American version. Many of these scenes are accessible on the Region 1 DVD.

Cultural references b A picture of a shark with a laser beam on its head is found by the condiments table. This is a reference to Dr. Evil's demand for "sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads" in the first film. When Dr. Evil tells his son Scott to "Zip it", he says, "Look, I'm Zippi Longstockings!!" He also sings "Zip It" to the tune of Devo's "Whip It". Dr. Evil calls the laser on the moon a "Death Star" a reference from Star Wars. Scott laughs at this and replies to Dr. Evil's questioning with "Nothing Darth", a reference to Darth Vader. When Fat Bastard first makes threats to eat Mini Me, he sings the "Chili's (Welcome to Chili's!)" advertising jingle.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

In the scene when Mustafa attacks Austin and Felicity, he brandishes a large knife and cries "Daktari!" "Daktari" is the Swahili word for doctor and is either a reference to the 1960s children's TV series,Daktari, or a battle cry adopted by Mustafa for his employer, Dr. Evil, or both. Because the fez-wearing Mustafa is presumably of North African origin, it is odd that he would use the Swahili word for doctor instead of the Arabic word,ﺐﻴﺒﻃtabiyb. Dr. Evil's Base in the moon is divided in two units: Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa - the latter being the name of Frank Zappa's daughter, Moon Unit Zappa. Dr. Evil names his moon-based laser after the Progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project. Correspondingly, in 1999, Alan Parsons released an album entitledThe Time Machine, which featured a bonus track titled "Dr. Evil Edit" featuring Mike Myers. When Dr. Evil threatens the 1969 U.S. government with his laser, he uses the White House explosion scene from theIndependence Dayfilm trailer to demonstrate its destructive capabilities. When the president and his cabinet laugh at Dr. Evil's demands of $100 billion, Dr. Evil responds with the line, "Show me the money!", which is from the 1996 filmJerry Maguire. The scene of Austin and Felicity leaving for the moon uses rocket launch scenes fromApollo 13. Before Austin and Felicity make their escape back to 1999, Felicity tells Austin she wants to experience the '70s and '80s. Austin tells her there is nothing to see in those eras except "a gas shortage and A Flock of Seagulls" (the former being the 1973 oil crisis and the latter being either the '80s New Wave band or Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull book and film, a strong cultural meme in the mid-1970s). When Dr. Evil's chair on the moon experiences a malfunction giving it an apparent mind of its own, he quotes from the 1973 filmThe Exorcist, with "I need an old Priest and a young Priest" followed by "The power of Christ compels you!" and much violence to the chair. The film has many references to the James Bond franchise. But especially the James Bond filmsYou Only Live TwiceandMoonraker. As well as the title being a parody ofThe Spy Who Loved Me. When Dr. Evil's assassin tries to kill Austin Powers in a 1969 club he sees her accomplice's reflection by looking into her eyes. This is a reference to the James Bond filmGoldfinger, andThunderball, in which Bond does the same thing. When Austin travels back in time he uses a Volkswagen New Beetle to travel back in time just like Marty McFly did with a Delorean DMC-12 in the "Back to the Future Trilogy" In the scene where Felicity and Austin defeat Mustafa, Austin questions him about who sent him, and he tells him to "kiss his ass" twice, but immediately answers the next time. This is a comment on how in many spy films villains who insist that they will never reveal who sent them end up opening up quite easily. Austin & Felicity approach Dr Evil's hollowed out volcano hideout in a yellow submarine, a reference to the Beatles 1966 song "Yellow Submarine" and/or the 1968 Yellow Submarine animation movie based on the song.
