Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a deliciously randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me, and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't. This friendly, go-for-broke sequel to 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery finds our man Austin heading back to the '60s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (a pretty but vacant Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, the jokes may be bad (with characters named Ivana Humpalot and Robin Swallows, née Spitz), and the scenes may run on too long, but it's all delivered sunnily and with tongue firmly in cheek.
Myers's true triumph, though, is his turn as the neurotic Dr. Evil, who tends to spout the right cultural reference at exactly the wrong time (referring to his moon base as a "Death Star" with Moon Units Alpha and Zappa--in 1969). Myers teams Dr. Evil with a diminutive clone, Mini-Me (Verne J. Troyer), who soon replaces slacker son Scott Evil (Seth Green) as the apple of the doctor's eye; Myers and Troyer work magic in what could plausibly be one of the year's most affecting (and hysterically funny) love stories. Despite a stellar supporting cast--including a sly Rob Lowe as Robert Wagner's younger self and Mindy Sterling as the forbidding Frau Farbissina--it's basically Myers's show, and he pulls a hat trick by playing a third character, the obese and disgusting Scottish assassin Fat Bastard. Many viewers will reel in disgust at Mr. Bastard's repulsive antics and the scatological bent Myers indulges in, including one showstopper involving coffee and--shudder--a stool sample. Still, Myers's good humor and dead-on cultural references win the day; Austin is one spy who proves he can still shag like a minx. --Mark Englehart
Description
First he fought for the Crown, now he's fighting for the family jewels! Mike Myers returns as the world's grooviest superspy who must return to the Swingin' Sixties to recover his ''mojo'' and stop Dr. Evil from liquidating the world.

A bit too much at times.......2006-07-25
This is what happens when you get a film that does modest business, but becomes a huge cult sensation once it hits the home audience. You make everything bigger and better and hope the audience eats it up without noticing how empty the film feels at times. Ironically this was also one of the principle flaws of the James Bond series, which Austin Powers chiefly parodies.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me lacks the heart of the first film. That may seem like an odd comment for a comedy film like this, but it was really the character-driven bits in the first one (and the third) that kept the comedy bits together. Here the plot feels kinda random and disorganized. There are defnitely some new concepts and gags (Mini-Me!), but a lot also feel recycled. The gags are also a little much this time around, even for someone used to this kind of bathroom humour. I found the gags in the first and third much more clever and entertaining.
So we get a 3 star film, which has flaws but is generally a nice reunion of old characters. The dvd however, presents a lot of great extras that boost the final rating to 4. Lots of hilarious deleted scenes, a great commentary track, music videos, and other fun extras. A lot of care was put into this set and it shows.
The weak link of the Austin Powers trilogy, but worth owning for fans, and worth a rental for those who haven't experienced Austin Powers yet.
Hop on the good foot and do the bad thing.......2006-07-09
Austin Powers (AKA "Sir Austin Danger Powers"), Dr Evil and Fat [...] all played by Mike Myers? Fantastic! The costume and make-up team are second to none.
Verne Troyer as Mini me is great. Not that many other actors could have "filled his shoes". Danny Devito doesn't even come close!
Ivana Humpalot (Kristen Johnston) is a Russian woman sent to kill our hero. As a chess fan I was curious about the direction of this particular game.
Overall, this film is a comedy. You can't expect a Les Miserables plot or the depth of Ben Hur. It's a great laugh for a night in and it achieves what I believe it set out to do.
Dr. Evil's movie.......2006-06-21
This sequal to the first austin powers is not quite as good as the first one, but it's not that bad. Austin power's character has pretty much been reduced to nothing in this movie. Heather Graham's character is just in the movie for eye candy. That leaves Dr. Evil, who pretty much has all of the funny scene's in the movie. Although, I thought the whole thing with him trying to be a rapper was stupid. Fat Bastard's character was ok, but it got dull after a while. Overall: I think you should check it out just for dr. evil's scenes in the movie.
AUSTIN POWERS IS BADDER THAN EVER AND HE'S BACK.......2006-05-08
THE RETURN OF AUSTIN POWERS
STILL A FACETIOUS IRREVERENT LIGHT- HEARTED SATIRE & VERY FUNNY TOO!
IN A NUTSHELL: STILL A BIT TOO MUCH - BUT SO WHAT IF IT WORKS!
Still a bit too facetious, a bit too vulgar, a bit too irreverent, and a bit too overdone. Only now, everything, including Austin's new nemesis FB [also played by Mike Meyers] is supersized. Nevertheless, this comedy still does work and it still pays homage to the original James Bond series, as well as the anglo and american cultures of the 1960s. In the end, "Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me" is still simply quite effective in its role as a satirical comedy.
HOWEVER THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 1st & 2nd FILMS:
The tone of the film is the same, but more. In doing so, the film has had to rely more on comical set-pieces than the natural progression of a silly satirical story line, as it did in the original film. At times this slows things down or seems to detour the film almost to the point of derailing. Almost, however, is the key word and the film keeps on trucking. Some of these comedic set-pieces are self-contained entertainment in their own right, such as Dr. Evil's duet ["Just The Two Of Us"] with Mini Me, and the commotion in the tent where strange things seemed to be happening within Austin's innards, as seen from outside the tent by Dr. Evil's disgusted henchmen. Or that whole story line involving group family therapy which spilled over to the "Jerry Springer Show" - very effectively silly, irreverent stuff.

BOTTOM LINE: MIKE MEYERS & FIRST TWO FILMS OF THIS SERIES ARE EXCELLENT
Great Sequel.......2006-01-24
When it appeared in theatres back in summer '99, I thought this is one of the good sequels that was just as good as before. Vanessa Shagme and Fat Bastard were both a plus to this new movie. Doctor Evil and Austin Powers still act the same, and still make me laugh. Michel Meyers didn't loose with this one. The story line made sense (unlike the one after this one)and it was one enjoyable movie. I recommend that you get this one, because it will make you laugh.

If you don't think Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) is one of the funniest movies of the 1990s, maybe you should be packed into a cryogenic time chamber and sent back to the decade whence you came. Perhaps it was the 1960s, the shagadelic decade when London hipster Austin Powers scored with gorgeous chicks as a fashion photographer by day, crime-fighting international man of mystery by night. Yeah, baby, yeah! But when Austin's arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, puts himself into a deep-freeze and travels via time machine to the late 1990s, Powers must follow him and foil Evil's nefarious scheme of global domination. Mike Myers plays dual roles as Powers and Dr. Evil, with Elizabeth Hurley as his present-day, karate-kicking paramour. A hilarious spoof of '60s spy movies, this colorful comedy actually gets funnier with successive viewings, making it a perfect home video for gloomy days and randy nights. Oh, behave!
"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a deliciously randy Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't. This friendly, go-for-broke sequel finds our man Austin heading back to the '60s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (a pretty but vacant Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, the jokes may be bad, and the scenes may run too long, but it's all delivered sunnily and with tongue firmly in cheek. Myers teams Dr. Evil with a diminutive clone, Mini-Me (Verne J. Troyer), then pulls a hat trick by playing a third character, the obese and disgusting Scottish assassin Fat Bastard.

great customer service.......2002-10-30
thanks for being prompt and easy to do biz with. This was a super purchase.
ian's review.......2002-08-23
this powers pack is a good deal. you can get the first 2 austin powers movies in 1. i got this a year ago and i still watch the movies all the time. they make fun of alot of spy movies. anybody who likes comedy should like this.
What can I say Baby!!.......2002-07-17
Very Shagedelic! Yeah Baby, Yeah!!
Seriously. Watch them with the Mike Meyers commentaries. Very good.
The sequel knocked it down a star.......2002-07-07
I can't believe I'm giving this only 4 stars because the first one is absolutely hilarious and hip. If you don't already know, "Austin Powers: International man of mystery" is about a swingin' secret agent/photographer from the 60's who's enemy is an actually childish villain named Dr. Evil. When Dr. Evil freezes himself so he can be revived sometime in the future, Powers does too so he can be ready for him. They are both unfrozen 30 years later in 1997. Austin is soon teamed up with his old sidekick's daugher, Vanessa Kensington who is not at all pleased when he repeatively askes if they can "shag". Mike Myers, who plays Austin, does is brilliantly; nobody could do it better. And wouldn't you know it? Myers plays Dr. Evil too! Dr. Evil personally is my favorite. Although he is trying to take over the world, he still loves his hairless (there were errors in the unfreezing process)cat, Mr. Bigglesworth. This movie is hilarious. If you watch Austin sometimes when he's talking, he makes these most outrageous faces that are just part of his character. Oh, and who can forget Dr. Evil's rebellion teenage son that was artificially created in a lab while he was frozen, Scott. (played by Seth Green) Dr. Evil tries to bond with his son... he even takes him to a group talk with other sons and fathers, until he has them liquidated. I'm not going to give away the end to the movie, but it must be pretty obvious that both Powers and Evil don't die because there's a sequel. And that reminds me why I only gave them 4 stars altogther. The sequel, although everyone returns except Elizabeth Hurley (who played Vanessa), it just simply isn't as funny. They took alot of the good jokes from the original and just used them again just in different ways. There is also some bathroom humor, if you can call it humor. That's just plain stupid. For instance, Austin thinks he's drinking some coffee, but he's actually drinking somebody's poop that the lab was testing. That's just sick. I mean, where's the clever jokes from before? An 8 year old could think that up. The sequel is good enough to see though, even good enough to buy (I did). No matter how dumb SOME of the jokes are, you can't help but wait to see Dr. Evil or Scott again. I'll probably see the 3rd, which is coming out soon. I just hope it's more like the first.
Hilarious.......2002-07-01
Both of the Austin Powers movies are hillarious. Mike Myers is one of the funniest people alive! And With Doctor Evil, Mini Me, Fat.......... ,Felicity Shagwell and Venessa Kensington it will be even hillarious evry time you watch it!

"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a deliciously randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me, and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't. This friendly, go-for-broke sequel to 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery finds our man Austin heading back to the '60s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (a pretty but vacant Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, the jokes may be bad (with characters named Ivana Humpalot and Robin Swallows, née Spitz), and the scenes may run on too long, but it's all delivered sunnily and with tongue firmly in cheek.
Myers's true triumph, though, is his turn as the neurotic Dr. Evil, who tends to spout the right cultural reference at exactly the wrong time (referring to his moon base as a "Death Star" with Moon Units Alpha and Zappa--in 1969). Myers teams Dr. Evil with a diminutive clone, Mini-Me (Verne J. Troyer), who soon replaces slacker son Scott Evil (Seth Green) as the apple of the doctor's eye; Myers and Troyer work magic in what could plausibly be one of the year's most affecting (and hysterically funny) love stories. Despite a stellar supporting cast--including a sly Rob Lowe as Robert Wagner's younger self and Mindy Sterling as the forbidding Frau Farbissina--it's basically Myers's show, and he pulls a hat trick by playing a third character, the obese and disgusting Scottish assassin Fat Bastard. Many viewers will reel in disgust at Mr. Bastard's repulsive antics and the scatological bent Myers indulges in, including one showstopper involving coffee and--shudder--a stool sample. Still, Myers's good humor and dead-on cultural references win the day; Austin is one spy who proves he can still shag like a minx. --Mark Englehart
Customer Reviews:
A bit too much at times.......2006-07-25
This is what happens when you get a film that does modest business, but becomes a huge cult sensation once it hits the home audience. You make everything bigger and better and hope the audience eats it up without noticing how empty the film feels at times. Ironically this was also one of the principle flaws of the James Bond series, which Austin Powers chiefly parodies.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me lacks the heart of the first film. That may seem like an odd comment for a comedy film like this, but it was really the character-driven bits in the first one (and the third) that kept the comedy bits together. Here the plot feels kinda random and disorganized. There are defnitely some new concepts and gags (Mini-Me!), but a lot also feel recycled. The gags are also a little much this time around, even for someone used to this kind of bathroom humour. I found the gags in the first and third much more clever and entertaining.
So we get a 3 star film, which has flaws but is generally a nice reunion of old characters. The dvd however, presents a lot of great extras that boost the final rating to 4. Lots of hilarious deleted scenes, a great commentary track, music videos, and other fun extras. A lot of care was put into this set and it shows.
The weak link of the Austin Powers trilogy, but worth owning for fans, and worth a rental for those who haven't experienced Austin Powers yet.
Hop on the good foot and do the bad thing.......2006-07-09
Austin Powers (AKA "Sir Austin Danger Powers"), Dr Evil and Fat [...] all played by Mike Myers? Fantastic! The costume and make-up team are second to none.
Verne Troyer as Mini me is great. Not that many other actors could have "filled his shoes". Danny Devito doesn't even come close!
Ivana Humpalot (Kristen Johnston) is a Russian woman sent to kill our hero. As a chess fan I was curious about the direction of this particular game.
Overall, this film is a comedy. You can't expect a Les Miserables plot or the depth of Ben Hur. It's a great laugh for a night in and it achieves what I believe it set out to do.
Dr. Evil's movie.......2006-06-21
This sequal to the first austin powers is not quite as good as the first one, but it's not that bad. Austin power's character has pretty much been reduced to nothing in this movie. Heather Graham's character is just in the movie for eye candy. That leaves Dr. Evil, who pretty much has all of the funny scene's in the movie. Although, I thought the whole thing with him trying to be a rapper was stupid. Fat Bastard's character was ok, but it got dull after a while. Overall: I think you should check it out just for dr. evil's scenes in the movie.
AUSTIN POWERS IS BADDER THAN EVER AND HE'S BACK.......2006-05-08
THE RETURN OF AUSTIN POWERS
STILL A FACETIOUS IRREVERENT LIGHT- HEARTED SATIRE & VERY FUNNY TOO!
IN A NUTSHELL: STILL A BIT TOO MUCH - BUT SO WHAT IF IT WORKS!
Still a bit too facetious, a bit too vulgar, a bit too irreverent, and a bit too overdone. Only now, everything, including Austin's new nemesis FB [also played by Mike Meyers] is supersized. Nevertheless, this comedy still does work and it still pays homage to the original James Bond series, as well as the anglo and american cultures of the 1960s. In the end, "Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me" is still simply quite effective in its role as a satirical comedy.
HOWEVER THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 1st & 2nd FILMS:
The tone of the film is the same, but more. In doing so, the film has had to rely more on comical set-pieces than the natural progression of a silly satirical story line, as it did in the original film. At times this slows things down or seems to detour the film almost to the point of derailing. Almost, however, is the key word and the film keeps on trucking. Some of these comedic set-pieces are self-contained entertainment in their own right, such as Dr. Evil's duet ["Just The Two Of Us"] with Mini Me, and the commotion in the tent where strange things seemed to be happening within Austin's innards, as seen from outside the tent by Dr. Evil's disgusted henchmen. Or that whole story line involving group family therapy which spilled over to the "Jerry Springer Show" - very effectively silly, irreverent stuff.

BOTTOM LINE: MIKE MEYERS & FIRST TWO FILMS OF THIS SERIES ARE EXCELLENT
Great Sequel.......2006-01-24
When it appeared in theatres back in summer '99, I thought this is one of the good sequels that was just as good as before. Vanessa Shagme and Fat Bastard were both a plus to this new movie. Doctor Evil and Austin Powers still act the same, and still make me laugh. Michel Meyers didn't loose with this one. The story line made sense (unlike the one after this one)and it was one enjoyable movie. I recommend that you get this one, because it will make you laugh.

If you don't think Austin Powers is one of the funniest movies of the 1990s, maybe you should be packed into a cryogenic time chamber and sent back to the decade whence you came. Perhaps it was the 1960s--the shagadelic decade when London hipster Austin Powers scored with gorgeous chicks as a fashion photographer by day, crime-fighting international man of mystery by night. Yeah, baby, yeah! But when Powers's arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, puts himself into a deep-freeze and travels via time machine to the late 1990s, Powers must follow him and foil Evil's nefarious scheme of global domination. Mike Myers plays dual roles as Powers and Dr. Evil, with Elizabeth Hurley as his present-day sidekick and karate-kicking paramour. A hilarious spoof of '60s spy movies, this colorful comedy actually gets funnier with successive viewings, making it a perfect home video for gloomy days and randy nights. Oh, behave! --Jeff Shannon
"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a deliciously randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me, and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't.

NO DELIVERY.......2006-04-19
I ordered mine on March 5th. They promised to deliver by the 30th. Now it's April 18th, and I got a prompt reply to my inquiry: The DVD is no longer available and they're sorry.
Why the heck is this item still on the web site, then??? Take it the heck out from Amazon if it's not available!!!
Been 2 months and Amazon hasn't shipped.......2006-03-17
I ordered in January and now it's March and all Amazon does is blame their supplyer. The postponed the delivery date for two weeks but that time has passed and it still hasn't shipped. Customer service said that it's against their policy to do anyting about it. I don't know why they keep this product on their site if they can't deliver. Very poor service.
