Austin Powers (film series)
Encyclopedia
The Austin Powers series is a series of action-comedy films written by and starring Mike Myers
as the title character, directed by Jay Roach
and distributed by New Line Cinema
. The franchise parodies numerous James Bond
, Derek Flint
, Jason King
, and Matt Helm
films, characters, and video games, incorporate a myriad of other elements of popular culture
and follows the British spy's heroic quest to bring the villain Doctor Evil
to justice.
The films poke fun at the outrageous plots, rampant sexual innuendo
, and one-dimensional stock characters characteristically associated with 1960s spy films, as well as the cliché of the ultra-suave male superspy. Contrary to the handsome, super-smooth leading men of the James Bond genre, Austin Powers is not characterized as being conventionally attractive (he is especially known for his bad teeth), although female characters in the films seem to find him irresistible. The general theme of the films is that the arch-villain Dr. Evil plots to extort large sums of money from governments or international bodies but is constantly thwarted by British super-spy Austin Powers, and (to a degree) his own inexperience with life and culture in the 1990s. In the first film
, Austin and Dr. Evil are awakened after being cryogenically frozen for 30 years. Continuing to incorporate cultural elements of the 1960s and 1970s, the second
and third
films feature time travel
