  • Ever since International Man of Mystery premiered, Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and the many other characters played by Mike Myers are still household names. Wish some going so far as to become more popular than the James Bond characters Mike Myers was parodying. Only the legendary Mike Myers could have brought these characters to life, only his silly genius could have created a franchise that stands the test of time.

    I watched Austin Powers so much as a child, and I enjoyed it every time without even knowing it was a spoof of James Bond movies (which I didn't see any of until during college). I actually have a hard time watching James Bond movies, because Austin Powers seems so much better to me. I love it even more now that I know it was a tribute to his dad.

      This is similar to GTA Vice City, a video game which took place in 1986 but was released in 2002, a 16 year time gap. Whereas 2002 to 2023 is a 21 year time gap. Also reminds me of Garfield Gets a Life, released in 1991 which showed Jon doing disco moves but everyone gets mad at him, and he complains how within just 14 years disco was phased out but now we're decades past that.

      007 movies tend to be super boring outside a couple crazy scenes each.
