Dr. Evil - The Alan Parsons Project

A scene from the movie Austin Powers 2 (The spy who shagged me) were Dr. Evil explains his Alan Parsons Project

[@DarthRushy]

I bet his crying wasn't scripted. That was just Lowe giggling.

[@BigDan5309]

Did you ever notice in the first movie Alotta Fagina loses her composure and laughs during the sharks with laser beams scene?

[@KingYuma_]

Confirmed by Rob Lowe the whole earth basketball scene was unscripted and was Rob's idea.

[@shwilly]

@@KingYuma_ I find that hard to believe seeing as it so closely resembles the 'cry while i bounce a basketball off your face'-scene from The Great Santini kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mnpX6KeNF-fas Perhaps the gaffe was 'improvised' in the sense that it wasn't preconceived and they decided to play it out on the spot

It's the best fucking shit ever

[@linkbiff1054]

Apparently there was a couple of times on set where crew legit thought Lowe was Wagner. After assuring that Lowe was not Wagner, they would giggle

[@hv3926]

It was really an Al Mundy impression, Wagner's leading character from the hit "Cool Guy" TV 📺 show It Takes a Thief from the late 1960s. His full attire in this scene (minus the eye patch) would have worked perfectly on that show.

If Dr Evil took number 2's advice the world would have been taken over long ago

[@Commanderziff]

I doubt it. Number 2 doesn't really care about world conquest in the traditional sense. If Dr. Evil followed Number 2's advice he'd wind up as one of the richest men on Earth, with a thriving evil corporation. Number 2 is more about standard corporate evil, as opposed to taking the world by force.
