  • Acting for Two: Mike Myers as Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Goldmember and Fat Bastard.
  • Actor Allusion: When Dr. Evil drops Mini-Me and he hops back up, Dr. Evil exclaims "And he's okay!" just like Myers did about Stacey as Wayne's World.
  • Fake Brit:
    • Mike Myers, who is Canadian (although his parents are from the UK).
    • American Mimi Rogers as Mrs. Kensington.
  • Fake Nationality: Mustafa is portrayed in the first two movies by Will Ferrell, who is not even remotely Turkish.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: A Retroactive Recognition example: One of the guys who runs from Not-Godzilla in the 3rd film is Hiro Nakamura.
    • The one who yells "It's Godzilla!" is DK.
    • Fook Yu is Carrie Ann Inaba... seriously.
  • Sleeper Hit: New Line expected nothing from the first film after it got the worst test screening scores in studio history. Then it grossed $50 million in theaters and became a monster on video.
  • Throw It In: There are probably a bunch, but one is the unscripted chair malfunction in the moon base.
    • Doctor Evil's "shh"ing of Scott was made up on the spot and went on to become a running gag.
    • Austin's one-liners when the guard was killed by ill-tempered mutant sea bass were the result of Mike Myers forgetting his scripted lines.
    • In the opening dance sequence of The Spy Who Shagged Me, one of the synchronized swimmers emerges from the water with her fluffy pink hat accidentally covering her eyes.
  • Too Soon: A throwaway line about the end of the Prince and Princess of Wales's marriage was cut from the UK and Canadian prints after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, one week before the film's premiere.
