...100 billion dollars. To prevent Austin getting in the way he goes back in time to steal the frozen Austin’s mojo (his “essence of life”). Luckily, Austin has also been built a time travelling device allowing him to go back to 1969 to get his mojo back and save the world. The film follows on from the first Austin Powers movie, with Austin on his honeymoon with Vanessa (Liz Hurley), who turns out to be a robot with machine gun breasts. When I ... Read review

Dr Evil Austin's arch nemesis who constantly holds the world to ransom with nuclear weapons.

Advantages: Very, very funny
Disadvantages: Not the best one to watch if you don't liek your humour crude

...second outing for 1960’s super-spy Austin Powers. His character is born out of the Bond era but Myers uses it as a parody. It is completely over the top and politically incorrect throughout. The fact that Austin Powers is supposed to be a sex symbol in itself is ludicrous (check out the yellow teeth and the chest hair!). You only have to watch the opening (naked romp) sequence to this film to get a feel of how serious it’s going to ... Read review

Advantages: Dr Evil
Disadvantages: FB

...God knows what else. Austin Powers, again also played by Myers, definitely takes second fiddle here, while the third Myers character, Fat Bastard, is a sad mistake, light relief in this collection of light reliefs, but bringing the whole thing down very much to worse than toilet humour (see the toilet scene in the London Underground as FB ditches the homing device. Myers is undoubtedly a very gifted talent, with an eye and a talent for the absurd. ... Read review

Advantages: very funny, great extras and presentation
Disadvantages: R1 has more extras

...back in time and steal Austin Powers mojo, the libido, the essence, the life-force, what the French a certain I don't know what. With this gone Austin will be powerless to stop Evil's plans for world domination. Aiding Dr Evil this time is a 2-foot clone of himself called Mini Me who is like a vicious dog, Dr Evil still has problems with his son after taking him onto Jerry Springer and we also learn why Scott is there. Not only that but there is another ... Read review

Advantages: Funny In Parts
Disadvantages: A Lot Of Reworked Gags

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is simply more of the same enjoyable silliness that made the original movie such a surprise hit. And for a sequel to retain even half of the original's quality is quite an achievement. Mike Myers returns as the bad toothed international man of mystery, and we join the film, with Austin and his lovely wife, Vanessa (Elizabeth Hurley), on their honeymoon. But, horrors, she is not what she appeared to be, and ... Read review

Advantages: Mike Myres
Disadvantages: none

Austin Powers (The Spy who Shagged Me) is the second of the Austin Powers films and carries on the antics of the first film. When the film was due for release there was some doubt whether the title of the film would be allowed. In the end it was, but at most cinemas they didn?t display ?The Spy who Shagged Me?, they just displayed Austin Powers 2. ~~The Cast~~ Again Mike Myres plays many of the characters in the film including Austin Powers, ...

Advantages: Myers
Disadvantages: Myers

...his super groovy alter ego, Austin Powers, the sexiest swinger from the 1960's - "Do you swing, Austin?" "Are you kidding, baby? I put the Grrrr in Swinger." This time he's hipper than ever and taking the rise out of more films than ever before. The first Austin Powers film (‘Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery’ 1997) was wild enough, but in this one there's no holds barred as he unabashedly goes for the jugular, cracking ...

Advantages: Funny, great quality DVD, cheap, Mini-Me!
Disadvantages: Not enough extras - 2 disc set please with more outtakes!

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the follow up to 1997’s International Man of Mystery. Those who say IMOM first will feel right at home, recognising the characters. Those who saw TSWSM first (and that includes me) will soon feel right at home. All the characters are back, Austin Powers (obviously), Dr Evil, Number Two and more. There are even a few new characters, most noticeably Felicity Shagwell and Mini-Me. Mike Myers stars as ... Read review

Advantages: One of the best DVD's ever created
Disadvantages: none

...start with the actual film. Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me, is in itself a brilliant film starring one of the kings of comedy, Mike Myers. Mike plays the lead character Austin Powers, international man of mystery. Oh - he also plays Dr Evil, and Fat Bastard. It's a great set-up. There's no way that you can tell straight away its the same person. Heather Graham stars as Agent Shagwell, assigned to assist Austin. Heres the basic plot for those ... Read review

Advantages: No stop comedy
Disadvantages: none

...floppy sequels that suck! Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me is different, honestly! If you loved the first one then this is truely unmissable, I watched it a few nights ago for the 100th time and while it's fresh in my mind I have to praise it! The basic plot here is that Dr Evil has travelled back to the swinging sixties and stolen Austins' mojo, the essence of Austins' 'shagadelic' nature! So our hero journeys back to the place he came ... Read review
