Austin
Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
In this fast-paced comedy (filled with gags, both verbal
and visual) - the first of the PG-rated series of James Bond spoofs
with Mike Myers:
- the introduction of Austin Powers (Mike Myers) after
being unfrozen from his cryogenic state in the Ministry of Defense
in 1997: ("Who is this Austin Powers? The ultimate gentleman
spy -- irresistible to women, deadly to his enemies, a legend in
his own time. Attention. Stage one: laser cutting begins. Laser
cutting complete. Stage two: warm liquid goo phase beginning. Warm
liquid goo phase complete. Stage three: reanimation beginning.
Reanimation complete. Stage four: cleansing beginning. Cleansing
complete. Stage five: evacuation beginning. Evacuation comp...,
Evacuation comp... Comp... Comp... Evacuation comp..."); in
the scene, a naked Austin was evacuating (peeing), with a female-voice
announcer keeping track of his progress
- the cryogenically-frozen 60s British spy Austin Powers
who battled his villainous arch-enemy Dr. Evil (Myers also) 30 years
later; planning to hold the world hostage with a blackmail scheme
to the UN (that wanted to prevent his Project Vulcan scheme for a
nuclear warhead) for an initial inflation-challenged ransom of "One...
MEEE-llion dollars!" - not realizing that this amount of ransom
wasn't as threatening in the 1990s as it was in the 1960s
- Dr. Evil's henchman
Number 2 (Robert Wagner) suggested: "Don't you think we should
ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly
a lot of money these days"; Dr. Evil upwardly revised his ransom
to $100 billion dollars!
- Evil's bizarre relationship with resentful cloned
son Scott Evil (Seth Green), and after first meeting him asking repeatedly: "Can
I have a hug?"; including the scene in which he kept shushing
Scott: ("Let me tell you a little story about a man named Sh!")
- the inappropriate Family Counseling speech by Evil
to his therapist: ("The details of my life are quite inconsequential...
very well, where do I begin?...When I was insolent, I was placed
in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really.
At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen
a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There
really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking - I highly
suggest you try it")
- during a cataloguing of Austin Powers' possessions
and embarrassed by the presence of Vanessa Kensington, his denial
that a Swedish-made penis enlarger pump was his: ("That's not
mine...I don't even know what this is. This sort of thing ain't my
bag, baby"), even though a book authored by him on the subject
was revealed

Tops

- the characters of Dr. Evil's "fem-bots"
with guns in the tops of their bikinis who attempted to seduce Austin
Powers; he was able to outwit and defeat the seductive android
females by performing a sexy, gyrating strip-tease "Dance
of Death" (down to Union Jack red underwear and hairy chest)
to the tune of "I Touch Myself" - causing them to short-circuit
with sexual electricity as their heads twitched violently and
then exploded
Hidden Private Parts with Vanessa Kensington
(Elizabeth Hurley)

- the scene of Vanessa and Austin running over a security
guard with a steamroller
- in a classic honeymoon scene, Austin Powers cavorted
naked with glamorous "shagadelic" agent Vanessa Kensington
(Elizabeth Hurley) with their private parts teasingly hidden by strategically-placed
objects
- catchphrases such as: "Bee-have", "Sake it
to me baby!",
"Yeah, baby, yeah", "Do I make you horny, baby?" and
"Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?"
