    What did Austin say Felicity would have needed to have sex with Fat Bastard? (This is cut from some videos.)'Austin Powers' - All Three

      an elaborate set of pulleys. For some reason this was cut from some videos, including mine, which is a little annoying, but it did happen in the movie!

    Why did Dr. Evil say he wanted the sharks to have laser beams?'Austin Powers' - All Three

      All animals deserve a warm meal. This is before he is informed that they couldn't get sharks, but they do have seabass.

      Ill tempered mutated seabass. This was one very comedic moment!

    Austin's band is called "Mingin Tea"?'Austin Powers' - All Three

      f. NO - it is just Ming Tea. This is actually Mike Myers' band.

    According to the second film, how old should Scott be?'Austin Powers' - All Three

      29 / 30. Scott is obviously not this old! Especially as in the first film they say he was 'created' a few years after Dr. Evil was frozen, but with being conceived in 1969 this cannot be true. Two options are given, as exact month can't be sure.

    What is the EXACT date on which Austin was frozen?'Austin Powers' - All Three

      11th November 1967. This is shown in the second movie. You need to be VERY eagle eyed!

    What does Austin say is his middle name?'Austin Powers' - All Three

      Danger. This is because it says on his box of personal belongings 'Danger Powers'.

    Here is an interesting bit of info: Dr. Evil's trademark is his extended pinky. What is the name of the muscle that extends the pinky?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      minimi. "The extensor digiti minimi is the muscle that extends the pinky." (From Imdb.com.)

    What was the last thing that comes out of Austin's bag, in "The Spy Who Shagged Me"?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      explosives. They fall out of the bag when the guards arrest them.

    Who was frozen along with Austin Powers?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      Vanilla Ice. There were two other people seen frozen beside Vanilla Ice, Evil Knievel and Gary Coleman.

    What is Dr. Evil's mother's name?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      Chloe. She was a 15-year-old French web-footed girl.

    Fat Bastard: "Guess what my favourite Helen Hunt movie is? ______!" "Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      Twister. He says this when he is sumo wrestling, right before he twists his opponent's testicles.

    What did Dr. Evil's father always claim to have invented?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      The question mark. Dr. Evil says: "My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy - the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament."

    What was Austin squeezing that exploded in his face, in "International Man of Mystery"? "Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      A running shoe. In one of the funniest scenes in the whole first movie, Austin sees how the latest footwear has developed by squeezing the tongue of a running shoe.

    How long did it reportedly take for Myers to get into the Fat Bastard suit?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      7 hours. Myers said, "Eighty pounds of fat. I sweated so much, and I'm not good with enclosed spaces. Part of the latex had sulfur in it. They tried to make it not stink with perfume and deodorant and baby powder, and that just made it stink worse. By the end of the day, I was Pepe Le Pew. I don't think I'd do it again."

    Which actor from "Mad TV" appeared in all three "Austin Powers" movies?"Austin Powers" Trilogy Knowledge

      Mike McDonald. In "International Man of Mystery" he was the guard who got flattened by a steamroller. In "The Spy Who Shagged Me" he was the NATO guard who tuned in to "Jerry Springer," and in "Goldmember" he was a royal guard.

    Now a test of your perception: What continent is most frequently visible on Dr. Evil's globe of the world in his underground lair in "International Man of Mystery"?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Africa. OK, that was probably too subtle. Maybe you've learned something from this.

    What is the normal occupation of the man who plays Mr. Roboto?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Chef. This is stated on the audio commentary of the "Goldmember" DVD, where Mike Myers tells us that Mr. Roboto is, in reality, a master teppinyaki chef, a form of Japanese cooking. His real name is Nobu Matsuhisha.

    In which Austin Powers film do Ming Tea make their debut appearance?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Ming Tea actually preceded the "Austin Powers" series, and was where Mike Myers first developed the character of Austin Powers. Ming Tea made their movie debut in the closing credits of "Man of Mystery", playing their song "BBC". The only proof is the name "Ming Tea" printed on the bass drum skin.

    Rob Lowe appeared in the second (and, briefly, the third) "Austin Powers" movies as the young Number #2. What role did he have in the first movie, if any?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Friend of John Smith. Rob appears in the scene at Hooters, where a party of guys is waiting for their friend John Smith, because it is his stag party. Rob also takes the phone call about John's untimely decapitation by an ill-tempered, mutated sea-bass.

    Now some questions on the series as a whole. In "International Man of Mystery", a guard at Virtucon is run over by a steam roller. Later, in "Austin Powers in Goldmember", the same actor appears again. What role does he play?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Queen's guard holding the medals at the knighting ceremony. It took me a while to realize from where I knew this actor, whose name is Michael McDonald. He is one example of this series' habit of using the same actors. McDonald also appears in "The Spy Who Shagged Me" as a NATO officer monitoring "the Kreplakistani situation".

    What can be seen on either side of Mr. Roboto when he is on Dr. Evil's sub?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Two large red balls. There is no apparent reason for this in the movie, but in the audio commentary on the DVD version, Mike Myers suggests that the sub, in the shape of Dr. Evil, is rather 'anatomically correct'. Use your imagination.

    What is tattooed on Dr. Evil's butt, as shown on the submarine in the final fight with Goldmember?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      E Diddy. Mike Myers and Jay Roach (director of the "Austin Powers" series) wanted Dr. Evil to be referred to this in the film, but were unable to do so due because they were unable to get P. Diddy to agree.

    During the scene in which Austin attacks a newly-defected Mini-Me, what does Mini-Me do which results in a flashback to "The Spy Who Shagged Me"?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Made a peace sign. Austin and Mini-Me have had two fight scenes since Mini-Me arrived, but I doubt if we'll see any more, now that the two are on the same side. On another note, Verne Troyer, the man who plays Mini-Me, is also a stuntman, and was pushing Jay Roach to let him be in the bag whilst being flung around by Austin. Jay preferred to use a robotic dummy.

    What was the name of the movie being made about Austin Powers, which starred Tom Cruise in the title role?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Austinpussy. This movie provided a very neat opening and conclusion for the actual film, and contained several major cameos, including John Travolta as Goldmember, Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil, and Danny DeVito as Mini-Me.

    As the dancing sequence begins in the opening scene of the movie, what two Hollywood celebrities appear to do flip-flops (for lack of a better phrase) past Austin and the assembled crew/dancers?The "Austin Powers" Trilogy

      Steven Spielberg and film crew. All these stars were in the opening scene, as part of the 'movie-within-a-movie' that was being made.
