Movie Info.:
In the U.S., "shag" is far less offensive than in other English-speaking countries. Singapore briefly forced a title change to "The Spy Who Shioked Me." ("Shioked" means "treated nicely.")
In the opening song sequence, there's a sign that reads "Casino Royale", a
tribute the 1967 James Bond spoof.
Mike Myers wanted the title "Austin Powers 2: The Wrath of Khan," but couldn't get the rights for that title from Star Trek producers.
At one point there is a spoof on the James Bond film Goldfinger, when Austin notices an approaching attacker reflected in a woman's eyes. In a film blunder however, the reflection is the wrong way around (which means it's not a mirror image). Don't blame them though, it was the same way in Goldfinger.
Austin and Felicity travel back in time to May 25, Mike Myers' birthday.
George
S. Clinton is a also a funk star! He was a member of Parliament,
whom you might remember from such songs as "Tear The Roof Off The
Sucker (Give Up The Funk)." One of his most famous solo songs
is "Atomic Dog." Aside from his musical work in many
films, he has also worked with many contemporary music artists' albums.
One such artist is Snoop Doggy Dog. Like his music? Check
