Austin Powers Movies: All Three Films in the Spy Parody Series

The Austin Powers series is a trilogy of spy comedies in which Mike Myers plays both the flamboyant British agent Austin Powers and his scheming enemy Dr. Evil, and Jay Roach directed all three films. There are three films and no spin-offs: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Each is rated PG-13 in the US, 12 in the UK and M in Australia, and the runtimes sit between 89 and 95 minutes, so a full marathon fits in an afternoon.

Is Austin Powers making fun of 007? Yes, and the clearest evidence is in the titles: the second film's title plays on the Bond title The Spy Who Loved Me. The Bond connection reached the legal desk too, since MGM and Danjaq objected to the Goldmember title before release and the dispute was settled. If you want the originals behind the jokes, the James Bond hub covers that saga, and the Austin Powers Bond parody page looks at the spy film targets.

The premise is a fish out of water story with a freezer in it. In 1967 Austin defeats Dr. Evil, who freezes himself to return once free love has faded and greed has come back, and Austin has himself frozen so he can face his enemy again. In 1997 both men are thawed out, and Dr. Evil finds that several of his old plans have already happened without him while his lieutenant Number Two has turned the company Virtucon into a huge legitimate business. Dr. Evil has no interest in business and demands $100 billion from the world under threat of nuclear weapons. He also meets his teenage son Scott, who wants nothing to do with him.

The first film was made cheaply and it shows, in the best way. International Man of Mystery cost $16.5 million and earned $67.7 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. In an oral history, The A.V. Club recounts that the budget produced cheap looking effects, that test screenings went poorly and that the premiere at Mann's Chinese Theater was low key. The film also carries a tribute to Myers's father. As such, the sequels arrived with much more money behind them: $33 million for The Spy Who Shagged Me and $63 million for Goldmember.

The money followed. The Spy Who Shagged Me is the highest grossing film in the series at $313.7 million worldwide, with a $54.9 million opening weekend, and Goldmember took $296.9 million. Added together, the three films made about $678 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The ensemble around Myers is deep: Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham, Beyoncé, Michael York, Seth Green, Mindy Sterling, Robert Wagner, Will Ferrell, Verne Troyer and Michael Caine all appear across the saga, and George S. Clinton scored every film. For the full numbers, see Austin Powers box office, the Austin Powers soundtrack page and the Austin Powers cast page.
