Burt Bacharach was a real composer/songwriter, and created some of the best songs of the late 60s - including the one he sings on the bus. One of the greats.

[@mikeoxstiff]

He's still alive. But if she wants a date like that, she better hurry up, because he's 94.

That song was first used in the 60's Bond spoof, 'Casino Royale'.

Showed a friend an ep of The Avengers and she asked, "Are you showing me this because of the X-Men?" "Huh?" I answered. She then pulled from her huge comic collection the X-Men bits of Jean Grey becoming Phoenix. The comic book was a scene-for-scene copy (inspiration?) from the exact Avengers ep we were watching. 🤯

"It's my happening, baby, and it freaks me out!!!" That line is actually a reference to the 1970 film BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, which - weird fact - was written by the great critic Roger Ebert. Also, from Ebert's review of AUSTIN POWERS: "The movie, written by Myers and directed by Jay Roach, is smart enough to know the 1960s are funny without being exaggerated. In one sequence, a fashion photographer shoots '60s fashions, and the clothes, which look like outlandish science-fiction fantasies, are in fact identical to costumes worn during posing sessions in Antonioni's BLOW UP (1967)..."

[@1MahaDas]

The characters that were being parodied were taken from the James Bond film 'Goldfinger.' The idea behind the actress who played "Alotof Vagina" was also a parody of the 'Goldfinger' character "Pussy Galore!"

Dr. Evil is a parody of the Jame Bond villain Blofeld from the movie You Only Live Twice, and is played my Mike Myers, the same actor who played Austin Powers. He plays both parts in all three Austin Powers movies. The Asian henchman who throws his shoe is named Random Task, and the character is a parody of a famous Jame Bond henchman named Oddjob from the movie Goldfinger. His signature weapon was a hat with a razor-sharp brim that he would throw like a Frisbee. BTW, the actor who played Random Task is now in prison for the rest of his life for doing some very bad things.
