This is The Empire Strikes Back of the Comedies. Not just because of the Star Wars references, but because it's a perfect sequel.
I eat because I’m unhappy, and I’m unhappy because I eat…..that is so true
Seeing jerry springer in this was so damn funny and dr evil fighting him was a bonus R.I.P Jerry
My favorite out of the three Austin Powers. Still amazes me how my parents let me watch this as a kid. I still have the DVD when it first came out too
one of the best sequels ever made. my condolences to Andrew and his family during this tough time. we love you bro!
It truly is impossible to not have a crush on Heather Graham. Hell she hasn’t aged a day since this movie came out. And she’s still just as talented.
The reason why they made Vanessa a fem bot in this movie is because Elizabeth Hurley was working on another film and couldn’t get the scheduling to line up. Also in classic Bond formula, he has a new partner in every film so it makes sense if you look at it from that point of view.
so the reason for all the Star Wars references in this is because this opened opposite The Phantom Menace.
24:14 “Fat Bastard had to walk so Shrek could run” LITERALLY 😂😂😂😂😂😂
