** Worse, it's clear that Dr. Evil's crappy parenting is a result of him having a terrible role model for a father when he was a kid. [[spoiler:And judging by Scott fully embracing the dark side in the final scene of the third movie, it may be too late for them to reconcile.]]

* Nigel Powers' distaste for the Dutch despite claiming himself to dislike "people who are intolerant of others cultures" might come off as a bit of HypocriticalHumor at the expense of Goldmember, but think carefully; Nigel Powers lived through UsefulNotes/TheSixties, UsefulNotes/TheSeventies, and UsefulNotes/TheEighties before being kidnapped and taken back in time by Goldmember, and think back to [[UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra what was going on in South Africa]] at the time and [[AmoralAfrikaner who was responsible]] for that.

* Austin gets a taste of his own medicine in the second film, when Felicity sleeps with Fat Bastard and Austin gets upset about it. He only gets over it when she explains that she did what he would have done in the same situation. In fact, it’s exactly what he ''did'' do in the first film when he slept with Alotta Fagina to gain information and then brushed off Vanessa’s objections to his behavior.

Added DiffLines:

* It would seem weird that Dr. Evil would somehow know that Prince Charles would be married despite him not being aware of the divorce between him and Diana - except that Charles was first in line to the throne back in 1967, so him being married was an expectation from literally everyone.

* The intro of ''Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', which makes Vanessa a fembot, is a satire on disposable Bond girls.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Goldmember'', Dr. Evil is revealed to be Austin's long lost brother whom their father thought was killed in an assassination attempt. Dr. Evil goes from skeptical about this revelation and then tearfully accepts it in the space of a second. This is may seem like it's just a joke, but remember how Dr. Evil described his father in the [[AbusiveParents first movie?]]. Perhaps the reason Dr. Evil was so quick to accept Nigel Powers as his dad was because he wanted any father other than the one he had growing up.

* Steven Spielberg filming an in-universe Austin Powers movie makes sense if you know that he originally wanted to film a James Bond movie before he was picked to direct ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk
