  • 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.
  • 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.
