Trivia:
When Austin enters the "Electric Psychedelic Pussycat Swingers Club" he says, "It's my happenin', baby, and it freaks me out!" This is the same line delivered by Z-Man in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) when he enters the party scene. Furthermore, the same song is playing on the soundtrack as the line is delivered: "Incense and Peppermints" by The Strawberry Alarm Clock. Mike Myers makes the connection even more explicit by using Charles Napier, who appeared in the "Dolls" movie, in the following scene.

Goofs:
Continuity: Position of the retractable ramp in the "radioactive sea bass" scene. It couldn't possibly have extended/retracted in the time it apparently takes between scene cuts.

Quotes:
[first lines]
Dr. Evil: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my underground lair. I have gathered here before me the world's deadliest assassins, and yet each of you has failed to kill Austin Powers. That makes me angry. And when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset... people DIE!

Aside from it's overwhelmingly raunchy humor,I consider this to be a great spoof of the spy genre and 60's culture.Mike Myers has created yet two more endearing characters in Powers and his nemisis,Dr.Evil.When certain characters inspire imitation (and who hasn't at least heard imitations of these two,or perhaps even Robert Wagner's character, Number 2 and others),then you have done something right.This movie is good for it's amusing characters and good story line,but again I think it would have worked without so much vulgar humor.Worth a look.
