So last night Andrew and I watched the other 2 Austin Powers movies, but I was way too tired to write the posts about them. This sequel is my favorite of all the AP movies. Mainly because of Heather Graham, I love her! I also really like this movie because they are intentionally spoofing different spy movies.
So we meet up with Austin right where the first movie ended, on his honeymoon with Vanessa. Turns out she was a fembot the whole time because she tries to kill Austin and blows herself up. He's not heartbroken for long though. His opening credit sequence involves him dancing around his hotel naked and then joining in on some synchronized swimming. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil decides the best way to stop Austin Powers for good is to steal his mojo. He then goes back in time to 1969, when Austin is frozen still. Then his accomplice Fat Bastard steals Austin's mojo while in his frozen state. Fat Bastard is one of the grossest, most vomit inducing characters that Mike Myers has ever created. On the flip side, Andrew thinks that Dr. Evil is one of the funniest characters ever. Anyway, learning that his mojo has been stolen, he then travels back in time to go get it back! He then meets Felicity Shagwell, a CIA agent. She is Austin's soulmate and match in every way, except she doesn't have gross teeth. Their attraction is undeniable, but Austin refuses to shag Ms. Shagwell because he has no mojo yet. In order to find Dr. Evil's lair, Felicity sleeps with Fat Bastard, which leaves Austin feeling betrayed once he finds out.
Felicity and Austin find the volcano lair, but alas fail at accomplishing their goal this time around. Later though they find Dr. Evil's moon lair, and finally stop him from destroying the world. However Austin fails at retrieving his mojo, only to realize that he had his mojo all along. He and Felicity ride off in the sunset!
Some notable cameos in this one include:Jerry Springer, Rebecca Romaine, Rob Lowe, Will Ferrel, Tim Robbins, Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, and Jennifer Coolidge.
One of the greatest things about this movie is the introduction of Mini Me, Dr. Evil's miniature clone. He is so cute and funny. His presence leaves Scott feeling even more disconnected and unloved by his father. We also learn that Scott was not a test tube baby, but in fact the love child of Dr. Evil and Frau.
Andrew's Closing Thought: Send in the CLONE!
Up Next: Austin Powers: Goldmember
