Awesome Austin Powers moments.


  • Six words across all three films: "Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Burt Bacharach!"
  • Austin's Heroism Motive Speech when Dr. Evil tries to pull a "Not So Different" Remark.
    "What we swingers were rebelling against were uptight squares like you, whose bag was money and world domination. We were innocent, man! If we'd known the consequences of our sexual liberation, we would have done things differently, but the spirit would have remained the same. It's freedom, baby, yeah!"
  • In the 1st movie, the fembots are seducing Austin and he counters their mojo with his own.
    • Which leads to a Not What It Looks Like moment when Vanessa walks in on Austin in his undies. He tries to explain in a long and confusing way, while she looks on skeptically, and then...she believes him.
  • In the second movie, we get two Austin Powers for the price of one!
    • Even if she was using him, the fact remains that Fat Bastard actually got to sleep with Felicity Shagwell.
    • Alternately, Felicity managing to sleep with Fat Bastard and living to tell the tale.
      Austin: How could you do it??
      Felicity: I was just doing my job.
      Austin: No I mean literally, how could you do it? The man's so fat, the sheer mechanics of it are mind-boggling.
  • Austin gets Felicity out of the gas chamber by punching the glass so hard that it breaks.
  • While Dr. Evil's base is self-destructing, Austin wants to chase after him because Dr. Evil still has his mojo.
    Austin: My mojo, I'm useless without it!
    Felicity: You don't need it, you've had it all along!
    Austin: What do you mean?
    Felicity: You defeated Dr. Evil, you saved the world. And believe me, you're gonna get the girl.
    Austin: *grins* Well!
  • The opening of the third film is an action sequence. For a comedy film, it is really exciting. On the DVD extras, we get a featurette on that sequence. The Stunt Coordinator says "Very rarely you would have action for a comedic film." BUT IT WAS AWESOME! Followed by many cameos which will cause anyone to gasp. We have Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, Brittney Spears, Quincy Jones, and STEVEN SPIELBERG.
  • Also, in the third movie, Nigel's takedown of Dr. Evil's mooks in the submarine. He tells them exactly how he's going to do it and does it. He tells the last guy to just fall down and he obeys, because Nigel is that badass.
    "Look at you, you don't even have a name-tag. You've got no chance!"
  • Dr. Evil kicking the Klansman's ass on Jerry Springer in the second film. No one gets to insult Scott like that.
    Dr. Evil: I got his hood!
  • The fight scene between Austin and Fat Bastard in the third movie. In particular, Austin is able judo-flip such a heavy man over twice.
  • Austin and Dr. Evil teaming up to save the world from Goldmember.
