Austin Powers
The groovy spy that conquered the world
The Austin Powers series of films is a hilarious and over-the-top parody of the spy genre. The films star Mike Myers as the titular character, a British spy who is cryogenically frozen in 1967 and wakes up in the 1990s.
Austin Powers is a fish out of water in the modern world, and his outdated mannerisms and fashion sense provide plenty of laughs. The films also feature a host of other memorable characters, including Dr. Evil (also played by Myers), a megalomaniacal villain who is obsessed with destroying the world.
The Austin Powers films were a huge success, grossing over $670 million worldwide. They also spawned a number of catchphrases, including "Oh, behave!" and "Groovy, baby!"
The Austin Powers films are a fun and campy romp that will appeal to fans of spy movies and comedies alike. Myers is brilliant in the title role, and the supporting cast is equally hilarious.
