If you don't think Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) is one of the funniest movies of the 1990s, maybe you should be packed into a cryogenic time chamber and sent back to the decade whence you came. Perhaps it was the 1960s, the shagadelic decade when London hipster Austin Powers scored with gorgeous chicks as a fashion photographer by day, crime-fighting international man of mystery by night. Yeah, baby, yeah! But when Austin's arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, puts himself into a deep-freeze and travels via time machine to the late 1990s, Powers must follow him and foil Evil's nefarious scheme of global domination. Mike Myers plays dual roles as Powers and Dr. Evil, with Elizabeth Hurley as his present-day, karate-kicking paramour. A hilarious spoof of '60s spy movies, this colorful comedy actually gets funnier with successive viewings, making it a perfect home video for gloomy days and randy nights. Oh, behave!

"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a deliciously randy Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't. This friendly, go-for-broke sequel finds our man Austin heading back to the '60s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (a pretty but vacant Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, the jokes may be bad, and the scenes may run too long, but it's all delivered sunnily and with tongue firmly in cheek. Myers teams Dr. Evil with a diminutive clone, Mini-Me (Verne J. Troyer), then pulls a hat trick by playing a third character, the obese and disgusting Scottish assassin Fat Bastard.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this boxed-set!, January 22, 2002

By	Morten Solberg (Haugesund Norway) - See all my reviews

The reason why I'm saying this is because Austin Powers III will be on arriving at cinemas in just a few months. Now, ofcourse, APIII will also be released on DVD, and you don't wanna spend your money on this boxed-set when you can get the whole trilogy, do you? Universal did the same thing! They released a boxed-set with Jurassic Park/The Lost World, and eveybody just went "WOW!" And then, just a few months later, they released the trilogy!

Don't fall into New Lines trap! Wait for the trilogy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Too Funny!, October 23, 2001

By	B. GOODWIN "dragon678" (LIMA, OHIO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Awesome. That's what best describes what I think of these 2 movies. Not only do you get 2 great movies, but there are many behind the scenes features, deleted scenes, alternate endings, and music videos to keep you laughing for weeks. This has to be the funniest DVD package out there to date. If you loved the movies, then your gonna love this collection. Yeah Baby!

By A Customer

when i first saw International Man of Mystery, i thought that this film could never be topped. then, when i saw The Spy Who Shagged Me, i was on the floor laughing. the comic genius of mike myers is outstanding. all of his colorful characters are all funny in their own ways. buy this collection and i assure you that you won't be let down.
