  2. industry (franchise decline) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as Dr. Evil's model: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). The sequels try to top themselves and Austin stops being funny once he figures himself out at the end of the first film.
    “The 2nd and thirds are just trying to top themselves.”

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as Dr. Evil's model: Dr. No ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Bond is the blueprint for Austin Powers; Dr. Evil is Blofeld.
    “Dr. Evil being Blofeld and all that stuff, it's just kind of lost on the audience and it still works.”

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as Dr. Evil's model: Our Man Flint ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Austin Powers draws on 60s spy movies like Our Man Flint and Michael Caine films.
