Austin Powers: Difference between revisions

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Dr. Evil's [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood|ridiculously traumatic]] upbringing.

* [[Academy of Evil]]: The evil medical school Dr. Evil went to.

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The first is mostly, as mentioned below, a parody of James Bond knockoffs and sixties culture in general. This is mostly continued in the second one, with various bits of sci-fi thrown in with all the time travel abuse. The third movie parodies [[Blaxploitation]] movies and, well, the Austin Powers franchise itself.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Elvis Costello performed in ''The Spy Who Shagged Me''. But the scene in question took place in 1969, which meant he would've only been fifteen years old (and looked much older than that). Of course, this is played for laughs like everything else.
