Review of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) by Drlowdon — 10 Jun 2017

Following the escape of Dr Evil, Austin Powers is cryogenically frozen in the 60's. When Dr Evil returns 30 years later Powers is thawed back into action to once again foil his nemeses plan to take over the world. Spoofing almost every spy film ever made Austin Powers International Man of Mystery is one of those rare movies that is actually laugh out loud funny. Much of the humour comes from Austin’s total failure to adapt to his 90’s surroundings but, as with the sequel, it is really Dr Evil who steals the show with some fantastic one liners that are still quoted two decades later.

A true comedy classic.
