"AusTIN Powers" was a parody of the James Bond series. It borrowed from several of the movies, including "Goldfinger," "Thunderball," "You Only Live Twice," "From Russia With Love," and "Dr. No." The opening credits sequence is a homage to "A Hard Day's Night," and the use of Burt Bacharach's "The Look Of Love" is an acknowledgement of the first Bond spoof, "Casino Royale."

It was #98 on AFI's Top 100 Movies Of All Time list.
