Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Mini-Me/Scott Evil fight calls back to the toilet sequence in the first movie.

  2. industry (franchise decline) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: 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.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 1:32:19 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

Our Man Flint: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: 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.
