Weird fact: Around the 1960-1970 some spies would have cyanide pills in their glasses to not risk any information getting leaked from torture. The fact Austin is a spy, has glasses and he’s in that time period suggests those glasses are actually suicide glasses.
You can tell the studio didn’t have much faith in it because they weren’t given a very big budget, but the sequel definitely had a way bigger budget in it because the movie was a surprise it
Soul Bossa Nova is the perfect piece of music for Austin Powers, the character and the movies… catchy, energetic, goofy, mysterious, and overall a lot of fun.
The tune would be near and dear Mike Meyers' heart - it was the theme music for a cheesy Canadian game show in the '70s when he was a kid growing up in Toronto (e.g. grand prize - a new refrigerator!!)

Nostalgia really works in 30 year spans. In the 80s there was Back to the Future and the novel of It all about the 50s, in the 90s we had this, in the 2010s we had Stranger Things and the movie It bringing back the 80s and now we've got the rumblings of 90s nostalgia just kicking in.
@@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317 yeah but in 10 years time it’ll be 2000s nostalgia and everyone will say “2000s are the last decade to deserve nostalgia” 😂😂
Him running around the corner and then 8 secs later leading the marching band is gd hilarious, it’s just a ridiculous non sequitur and Myers delivery with that batton in sync with the music was hilarious, bravo Mike and film editing 👏
TheLumbeebrave1983 AMEN TO THAT! I got a lot of my friends, who had parents sheltering them a lot, into this and everyday at school, we always talked with our phony British accents whenever we were around each other.
Actually Diddy did ..I just saw a clip of Tatoo on.Evil ass it said Diddy 243 243 send me to turds and douche episode and it add up to episode 243.. that is fittingly called Douche and Terd 2020 . So I sitting here wondering how that spy Austin powers knew in 1997 that Dr evil ass tattoo with 243 meaning episode and I go there and it's called Turd douche and yes with Diddy. Plus 243 means fallen angel red feathers looks like Diddy . It just weird..unless someone set me up and that tattoo on evil ass is photo shopped . Does anyone remember Dr evil having a Diddy tattoo in ass? If so we have fallen down the biggest what in the pedophile is this shit I ever saw? Let me know. I just need to know if that Diddy tattoo was there in 1997 or I am being sent as false flag operation.. thanks and time is of essence. Ty

I love all the Austin Powers films and I’ll never ever get tired of watching them. Wacky & Silly yes, but to me they are timeless comedy classics of the 90s and every single minute of them always put a BIG smile to my face full of laughter 😄💙
Not having even remotely thought about this movie in a decade, I woke up this morning with this theme playing repeatedly in my head and had to find and play this video. Multiple times. And drink a beer. Oh behave!
I really liked this movie when it premiered. It was so silly and over the top absurd, but charmingly so. Mike Myers is perfect in the role. Quincy Jones who just passed away wrote this and many others. Great movie. Rest In Musical Heaven Mr. Jones. 🎵
For 90's it's definitely Austin Powers, Rush Hour, Bad Boys, My Cousin Vinny, Men in Black, The Mask, Liar, Liar, Groundhog Day, The Nutty Professor, Friday, Ace Ventura Pet Detective and Ace Ventura Nature Calls.
Had the best time in the cinema watching APIMOM with my best mate back in ‘97. We were already laughing hard from the Doctor Evil opening, then properly belly laughing when Ausin’s feet come in with the music. Then when he stops and looks at the copper and then the copper starts dancing we just fell apart completely. Then Austin leading the band around the corner almost finished us off. Just the best time watching this movie 👍
omg its just like the beatles movie "A Hard Days Night" 1. Running away from fans. He's lucky he didn't fall like Ringo and George! 2. Telephone booth. John, George, and Ringo were hiding in telephone booths! 3. Hiding behind a magazine. Paul did that too, except with a newspaper.
I remember seeing the previews for Austin Powers and I thought it was soooo stupid as a kid. And when I finally watched it I tried not the laugh and simply just couldnt. Truely one of the greatest satires in the 20th century
I remember riding my bike to the theatre to watch this at 16 years old. Met my friend there and we watched it together. One of the most hilarious films I'd ever seen, such fresh humor and I loved all the little gags making fun of the old Bond films. I had seen most of the Bond films because my grandparents had them all on betamax. I'd seen Mike Meyers before in the Wayne's World movie. But Austin Powers was groundbreaking and so damn funny.
I remember about back in 1998, I believe me and a friend was walking past a video store and i caught the scene after this intro when Austin and Miss Kesington were driving. It was something about the scene that stopped me, it not only made me start laughing when he said YEAH BABY! That whole scene was genius as far as all that was going on from just a simple conversation between two friends, and Austin asking why wont she model for him. They don't make comedies like this anymore. I really hope Mike Myers and company do get another Austin Powers going. I will surely be in line for it.
I remember seeing this as a teen in the mid 90's with my friends. We had NO IDEA about anything from British pop culture of the 60's and 70's. We were like, we don't know what the hell this is, but it's frigging amazing. When he whips around and stares at the camera during the 5-second musical segues. We were crying with laughter.
People forget how popular Austin Power’s movies were in the early 2000’s. This, and the Scary Movie franchise were the kings of comedy back then. Atleast from like 1997-2003.
Imagine a flash mob pulling this off on the streets of London...with perfect choreography and everything. That would be so friggin awesome . But I guess it would be tremendously difficult, especially in trying to obtain the permission to close of several busy streets for even a few minutes.

I remember when my mom rented this in 1997 she told me it was the guy from Wayne's World in a time travel movie. I figured it would be like Bill and Ted but when this opening sequence started I realized it looks more like A Hard Days Night.
The fact that there are no comedians left who are willing to act half as fucking Looney as this guy is just sad. That first walk up synced to the music is just wacky, and I haven't seen any movie where anyone has been down to just let loose and BE this way
I didn't never knew why Mike Myers is not considerated as The great actor he is. All his characters can be cartoonish, but they are so differents between them and hilarious too. The guy is awesome and so versatil.

I'm Swedish, and like a lot of swedes i watch the Nobel Prize ceremony every year. One year close to when this movie came out, they played this theme. Austin Powers was so popular that his theme song got to be played along with the usual Mozart and Bach. XD
I absolutely love these movies and remember being a little kid not even understanding most of the humor and references yet still finding it so entertaining and just getting more and more entertaining as I grew and got the jokes lol
The whole sequence is so epic you forget that him being super recognizable is probably not good for his job as a secret agent/spy
I've always had a theory that the fashion photography he does is his cover.

This was the most memorable opening i've ever seen in a movie.
I'm Swedish, and like a lot of swedes i watch the Nobel Prize ceremony every year. One year close to when this movie came out, they played this theme. Austin Powers was so popular that his theme song got to be played along with the usual Mozart and Bach. XD
I absolutely love these movies and remember being a little kid not even understanding most of the humor and references yet still finding it so entertaining and just getting more and more entertaining as I grew and got the jokes lol
This is the best damn intro to any movie of all time! No one can make me think otherwise!
Me, leaving work early.
The creative team knows their musicals❤❤❤ Thx u
