In fairness, Austin Powers actually makes MORE of an effort to explain the new love interest thing than 90% of all spy movies where it's just "Well obviously there's a new girl, do you know what genre you're watching?"

"it bothers me.... She didn't answer his question" 🤣🤣🤣 She did! Q"how do you get into those pants?" A" you can start by buying me a drink"

The "rotating chair" bit was completely unscripted; the prop malfunctioned & Mike Myers stayed in character the whole time.

9:17. She did answer his question, just not the way you thought.

switching out elizabeth hurley was probably partly due to conflicting schedules, but yes it's also a spy movie thing. there has been a new "bond girl" for every james bond movie since the first, and it's usually an actress or model who is up and coming. heather graham was briefly very hot in hollywood after boogie nights - another movie you should definitely react to - and bringing her on was likely to capitalize on that.

Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux are pretty easy to jump into, and they are incredible. Having watched Top Gun would help

The "You gonna cry?" scene always kills me. Watch Rob Lowe's face, it's obvious he's struggling not to crack up himself.

Mike Myers confirmed at the time that swapping out Liz Hurley is 100% a reference to the way every James Bond movie has a different 'Bond Girl' each time, with no acknowledgment of what happened to them. Re: spoof movies, you've already checked out Airplane and Naked, so you REALLY have to carry on to Naked Gun 2-3, Top Secret (spy thriller + Elvis Presley), and Hot Shots 1 and 2. Hot Shots is particular apt right now as it's a PERFECT spoof of Top Gun!

The "buying me a drink" joke went right over your head 😂😂😂

Mike Meyers gave you all you needed to research this movie when he was watching tv and said "Hey, In Like Flint, that's my favorite movie!"

Jess Harvell is correct. Dispatching Elizabeth Hurley is basically a reference to the Bond series, where he has a new love interest every movie. There may also be an element of not expecting to make a sequel, so they made Hurley's character "the one" and then realized they had to walk that back if they were going to do another movie. Also, echoing the Top Secret! recommendation. Technically, the movie is a parody of WWII movies and Elvis movies, but I think most of the gags will be self-explanatory whether you've seen any Elvis movies or not. There is also a parody of The Blue Lagoon in it, but again, it's not really necessary to know that in order to get the jokes happening. I would also recommend the music spoofs Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Music will probably be a challenge, but I think people will understand if it's been muted. The former is a parody of any music biopic, although it is specifically named after Walk the Line, and Popstar is named after the Justin Bieber concert movie, but again, I'd say you could watch both without seeing either.

I liked how both George and Dr. Evil both realized what Frau was getting at at the same time

The trailer for this was great, it said "If you only see one film this year, see Star Wars Episode 1: The Phatom Menace. If you see two..." A fun movie and easily the best of the trilogy.

17:41 😂 😂 Watching you guys cringe at the stool sample bit and say “that’s not a good joke” is the highlight of my day

Have y'all watched Wayne's World? Also, the part where Austin tells his boss that Vanessa was a fembot, and he replies plain faced, "Yes, we knew," is one of my favorite lines from this movie.

“How do you get into those pants baby!” “You can start by buying me a drink” She did answer his question. Simone and George are lacking some serious Mojo!

"You Gonna Cry" is a take on 1979, The Great Santini basketball scene. You miss a lot of references by not watching the James Bond movies. Bond women had names like Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Plenty O'Toole, etc... Even from the first movie, henchman Random Task was a copy of Odd Job from Goldfinger (who was known to throw a deadly hat)

I loved the trailer for this movie back then :D "If you see only one movie in 1999... see STAR WARS! But if you see TWO movies, see Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me!"

The Dr. Evil character will forever be funny. No matter how times I see his scenes, I crack up every time. This was the one where Mike Myers really found his stride with the characters.

One of the references you probably didn't get was in the matching swimsuits gag. It was additionally a reference to the swimsuit OG Bond girl Honey Ryder (played by Ursula Andress) wore in the first Bond movie: Dr. No in 1962.

RIP Verne Troyer (aka Mini Me). Guy was so nice, he even had a KZfaq channel.

Rob Lowe did an amazing Robert Wagner impression.

A great slapstick spy movie you should check out is "Top Secret" from 1984 It's by the Zucker brothers (who also did "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun") and it features the film debut of Val Kilmer.

"Dracula: Dead & Loving It" is an excellent vampire parody with Leslie Nielsen.

13:50 that was Elvis Costello singing, pretty famous singer 😂

13:40 If you remember in the first movie, there's a scene where Burt Bacharach is playing piano and singing "What the World Needs Now". Bacharach had numerous hit songs in the 60's and 70s - usually performed by other singers - but he himself was part of that 60's easy listening scene. In this film it is Elvis Costello singing one of his hits from around 1970, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again. It was originally a big hit for Dionne Warwick (Whitney Houston's cousin) in 1969.

RIP Tony Jay (the opening text narrator) That voice is so legendary!

Heather Graham is an absolute gem in this move. 10/10

In the beginning, Austin's watching "In Like Flint" which was the sequel to "Our Man Flint", one of many films of that era which parodied James Bond. I'm definitely sure parody/pastiche films like Austin Powers and Kingsman take some inspiration from those movies. In fact, Our Man Flint also has a villain named "Hans Gruber". You guys should watch Our Man Flint.

I looked up the Vanessa thing and it was a gag take on the one time Bond girl trope. This is what was on the wiki: Although Vanessa's reveal as a Fembot was a deliberately nonsensical twist, played for laughs as a reference to all of the James Bond series' one-time female leads, it has become the most contentious moment in the entire Austin Powers franchise, leaving many fans of the character in denial and anger over how she was written out.

The first Austin Powers movie feels like a love letter to the Connery era bond, while this is feels like it is more on the Roger Moore era bond which was much more absurd with movies like Moonraker and A View to a Kill.

"Top Secret!" Is a spoof you two should watch for sure.

Seeing this in the theater with one of my best friends was absolutely a great experience. We were crying with laughter. All of the Dr. Evil stuff slayed us.

Best one in the series! And Heather Graham is the best Powers girl, just saying.

You folks could probably spend the next few months just watching movies referenced in this movie alone if you wanted, but I thought I'd point out Rob Lowe getting hit in the head with the globe is a reference to "The Great Santini" starring Robert Duvall, sadly it is a pretty harsh watch about an abusive father and husband but I would recommend watching the basketball scene to get an idea of just how far Mike Myers was capable of taking such a harrowing scene of fatherly abuse to the light side of comedy, it's funny on it's own because of Rob Lowe's acting but put into the context of the original the dichotomy makes you realize what a ballsy move it was, considering audiences at the time were far more likely to get the reference. Comedy is magic .

4:12 "It's all staged, isn't it?" My sister was on Jerry Springer (twice). I can confirm that it was all staged, or at the least that they really didn't care if any of the guests were telling anything even approaching the truth so they long as they can maintain character.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights is one of the best dumb comedies of all time, and there is no way it'll get copyright-striked, since you've done other Mel Brooks movies before. Also, Hot Shots (but that's a different director).

The writing Vanessa out is a trope from James Bond movies of the love interests only lasting for 1 movie. She was never going to have a larger role in this movie, so scheduling was not an issue.

Let me clear up the movie title confusion. Its a direct spin on the Roger Moore James Bond movie Called "The Spy Who Loved Me". Plus it's humour pays direct homage to Pink Panther Part 2.

Please watch "The Neverending Story"!

"I suggest you don't worry about all of that and just enjoy yourself. And that goes for you all."

The Tent scene is pure gold

Would highly recommend Young Frankenstien if you're looking for good spoof movies. Funny, touching, and all you need is a passing familiarity with the old horror classics. It wouldn't hurt to know the original story of Frankenstien too, since it's kind of a "sequal".

I can't wait for you guys to do Goldmember. It's my favorite one.

The ball being thrown to the head and being taunted to cry is from the movie The Great Santini.

Bond movies that were parodied here include: The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. In addition to all the other references, there's an anti-reference to those as well. Both of those movies featured Jaws as the privileged Henchman. Jaws was an assassin with steel teeth played by Richard Kiel who was freaky big. Mini-me was physically the exact opposite, but they both attacked by biting. I never put that together before this very moment. Thanks scotch! The Bikini on the beach was taken from Dr. No. Doctor Evil is based on Bloefeld from the Connery years, (specifically You Only Live Twice, but also seen in On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Oh, and the scene where he used the woman as a shield was from a bond movie where he actually did that. She set him up, so she was evil, but he totally spun her into the line of fire. The Fembot thing wasn't a parody of any spy movie that I know of. It was probably more like she agreed to do one, then when the sequel became an option, she didn't want to do it again. There is a sort of thing in Bond movies where none of the women are in more than one movie. They nearly always end with him in bed with one and there's never a mention of her again. The one exception to this was a special case, where she was at least mentioned in other films. There were even references to her in the most recent Bond movie, No Time to Die (particularly in the music in a few key parts. In the 1980's there was a table top James Bond RPG. One of the mechanics of that game was the concept of Hero Points. You essentially earned one for critical rolls and could spend one to improve any other roll at any time. That's kind of what I think Mojo is. When you get to the next one, there are scenes of one of the actors as a much younger person. Those are all from a movie that was shot back then and re-used. Fun fact: In Like Flynn was a sort of parody of Bond movies done in the late 60's and starring Lee Marvin as a super cool. The main joke was that he had a cigarette lighter with 187* uses. 188 if you lit a cigarette with it. It was basically whatever the plot needed it to be. *I don't recall the exact number, it’s been 35 years since I the only time I saw it. Sorry. I could only manage about 442 words. I’ll make it up next time.

What's really funny is that when Austin tells Nigel that Vanessa was a fembot, Nigel says, "Yes, sadly, we knew all along." Haha, what?? So how do you get the audience to accept something that doesn't really make sense? Have it make even less sense, lol.

Yes, I love this one even more than part 1. I had SUUUUUUUUUCH a crush on Heather Graham......

Since you've watched the fugitive you can now watch " wrongfully accused" , with Leslie Nilsen.

Galaxy Quest please! It stars some big actors, and more than a spoof, it is more like a love letter to Star Trek fans and Star Trek universe. And the best part? You don't really have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy it and get the humor! It is considered by many to be a perfect film. Give it some thought. I would love to see your reaction!

Heather Graham just reminded me of something: Please watch Bowfinger!!!

the base plot about a spy frozen and defrosted in "the present" was based on a a 60's British show Adam Adamant Lives!. "In 1902, Edwardian adventurer Adam Adamant is frozen alive in a block of ice by his arch-nemesis, the Face. In 1966"

I think 'In Like Flint' and 'Our Man Flint' starring James Coburn is a must.

These movies are a mash up of previous spy spoof gags with "British Invasion" fashion mixed in. Myers' family is from Liverpool (Beatles birthplace), so this is kinda natural for him. If you watch the TV shows Get Smart (Not the movie version) & Rowan & Martin's Laugh In, you'll understand where he's getting the humor from. (The shoe throwing guy was a Get Smart character.) GS was Mel Brooks' first big project and Laugh-In launched the careers of Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn. It's really funny. If you search for the group Peter & Gordon, you'll literally see Austin Powers. 😁👍

My most favorite spoof movie of all times is Loaded Weapon 1. Having seen Die Hard 1 is enough to get it's biggest banger. At least a bit Star Trek knowledge helps, but otherwise - LW1 is self-sufficient in making audience LOVL. The cast is top notch times 20! Other originals: Silence of the lambs, Basic Instinct, Lethal Weapon 3. PS: Spoof of "The Fugitive" is called Wrongfully Accused, it is not as hilarious as other Leslie Nielsen masterpieces, but still fun.

Mike Myers' _So I Married An Axe Murderer_ 🪓 ❤️ - an essential '90s classic for the list. You'd love it.

A customer came in and I happened to pause @0:06 with the crossed eyes and my heart almost exploded lol

17:45 easily one of the best, and most sincere reactions ever "That's not a good joke."

It's so nice and a little surreal watching you guys laugh at the jokes that had me keeling over when I was 10 lmao

After you watch Goldmember, I highly recommend Wayne's World 1 & 2 if you guys haven't seen them. Mike Myers best comedies in my opinion.

Guys check Bedazzled, i remember it being very funny, Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser are in it.

So great watching you two enjoy these. Made me happy when I saw this was posted. As to getting A list stars, it's hard to underestimate how much of a cultural impact these movies were. They were huge, enormous pop culture touchstones. Everybody from teenage boys to middle-aged wine moms were quoting parts of these movies. I'm not sure if there is a cultural equivalent today, because comic book action movies have all but pushed out pure comedy from top billing spots, but there used to be a time when that was not the case. I second/third/whatever the Top Secret recommendation, and I also hope you do the third Austin Powers as well.

Please watch the STAR TREK movies 🖖!

9:12 She answered his question perfectly well??? Galaxy Quest, prewatch Star Trek S01E18 "Arena", Star Trek S02E10 "Mirror, Mirror", Star Trek the Next Generation S01E08 "Justice", Star Trek the Next Generation S01E23 "Skin of Evil"

Every scene, character, and movie title in the Austin Powers trilogy is a spoof of something in the James Bond/spy genre. There are thousands of subtle and not-so-subtle references you probably miss unless you have seen every James Bond film.

When Austin notices the movie “in like Flint” on tv it is the actual movie series that is the basis for the Austin Powers films.

Spies like us is a total classic!

She did answer the question. “ how’d you get into those panes?” “You can start by getting me a drink”.

8:45 to answer George's question, remember when he got the cart stuck in the base in the first one

Spoof movies: Wrongfully Accused (spoofing The Fugitive that you just saw) Hot Shots (spoofing Top Gun that you just saw) Hot Shots Part Deux (Spoofing the Rambo Series) Not Another Teen Movie (spoofing American Pie, Cruel Intentions, she’s all that and a bunch of Teen movies but it stands ok on its own if you’re familiar with the Teen Movie genre and tropes) Not really a spoof movie, but an underrated comedy: Eurotrip (might have a bit too much nudity for KZfaq, but the theatrical version could be adequate)

George, that shit is amazing, great reference.

Every bond movie has a new love interest with zero explanation what happened to the last one. This actually did more than the bonds to make sense

Everything in this movie is absurd. And I live every second of it. 🤣 🤣

Gah, Jerry Springer... That definitely was the start of a whole new era in television. The whole... spectacle, reality, exploitative tv. That and the start of the 24 hour news cycle... Everything really did suddenly start to change. Add the internet boom at the same time, and yeah. World totally changed, not just television.

11:39 The most genuine sound of disgust I've ever heard

HOT SHOTS would be good for you guys to get into, as you've recently seen a few classic 80s action films. One of my favorites that never gets mentioned is the parody of LETHAL WEAPON and other buddy cop movies, NATIONAL LAMPOONS' LOADED WEAPON 1 (bear in mind there was no sequel, nor was there at any time any plans for one). The NAKED GUN movies were pretty funny too.

That coffee joke *"It's a bit nutty"* was a great joke.

09:16 she did answer his question. "you can start by buying me a drink." that's the first step of getting into "those" pants.

You have to watch Austin Powers in Goldmember next

The little lunch-time dance scene is oddly wholesome.

Simone just has the look of someone who would be all about 70s UK fashion. Especially when she says stuff like "jinkies!" lol

The best guess is that she got switched during the time of capture while raiding Dr. Evil's layer in the first movie.

One of my favorite sequels in the franchise, cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both take care and have a great weekend

I love it when Elis Costello sings in the street

Mojo was created Jim Morrison lead singer of the Doors, part of the song called Mr Mojo Risiin’ which is his full name rearranged.

You guys should watch Top Secret. It’s Airplane but for spy films.

The guy singing on the corner was Elvis Costello, a Rock'n'Roll superstar.

Love these movies, great reaction as always guys!

If you like austin powers you NEED to watch classic Bond highlights include Goldfinger You only live twice On your Majesty's secret service The spy who loved me Moonraker The living daylights A license to kill GoldenEye And die another day (for all the wrong reasons)

Simone is so cute! My favorite part of all of your videos is, "And now, back to the movie.😊"

One thing that always cracks me up is it's the same extra that sees them doing the shadow stuff as the last movie.

I wouldn't say you'd have to watch them for references that you might have missed, but the second movie, "The Spy Who Shagged Me", and the third movie, "Goldmember", are spoofs on James Bond movies, "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) and "Goldfinger" (1964). Fitting that "Goldmember" is the third because "Goldfinger" was the third Bond film.

How ya not do goldmember? You've watched these two, ya gotta finish the trilogy.

More with Mike Meyers: Wayne's World. Also fantastic movies.

Austin Powers draws from 1960’s spy movies. In particular the James Bond series. I would watch Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever. The In Like Flint movie is also an influence. Mike Meyer’s also thrown in the late 60’s swinging London styles.

11:30 being a proper saddo, 2 (maybe 3) things kind of bug me about that scene. Firstly, the Guard should be at attention, not at ease. Second, his rifle should have a bayonet fitted, and the maybe 3rd, is that in 1969, the Guards - being fond of things which can be polished - would probably still be issuing older versions of the L1A1 with walnut furniture, rather than the newer Maranyl (fiberglass and nylon composite).

you guys gotta watch austin powers goldmember

Mike Meyers first did this Scottish accent in So I Married and Axe Murderer.

It's gold, it's gold, it's gold, it's gold, it's solid gold baby!

You guys will definitely love part 3
