OK, so Austin Powers does spoof the Sean Connery Bond movies. But the character is directly based on Derek Flint from _Our Man Flint,_ a spy-comedy film, and Harry Palmer from a more seriously toned 1960s spy film series staring Michael Caine. Also, the opening credits are based on the Beatles' film _A Hard Days' Night._

[@ajivins1]

Derek Flint.

Austin has very, very little in common with Flint other than the “judo chop”. Flint himself is already a parody so doing a parody of him makes little sense.

[@bazookatooth]

I don't care what anyone says, the Austin Powers films are legendary. Mike Myers is a master of physical comedy. Every character is iconic. They're a perfect marriage of British and American comedy, yet it never panders to either audience. Austin Powers is a (kinda) British institution that played a major role in the development of my taste in comedy (although I was deffo too young to be watching them) and it's not even about the sexual aspect of the comedy for me, it's the character work, referential, spoof and physical comedy, and for all of that, Mike Myers is a (kind of) national treasure. Anyway, I hope you do the other 2 soon!

You don't appreciate the full humor of this film unless you've seen most of the James Bond films. AP is such a cartoonish parody of Bond but treads that fine line of being able to stand on its own. The obvious jokes, e.g. Random Task and his shoe vs Odd Job and his hat, the whole Ernst Blofeld vibe of Dr. Evil, complete with cat etc, could not stand without the sophomoric jokes ( Who does number two work for?) AND the more subtle James Bond ones (The outfit changes according to Evil's ideas, the card game stand off, etc). It's very well written. I only wish the sequels had the same charm and pacing, as they kind of went off on hugely wacky tangents that detracted from the flavor, even if they did create some funny moments.

If you want to see the types of movies this film parodies, then you need to see the spy films of the 1960s, particularly the Bond films. But Austin Powers' appearance is based more on Michael Caine's Harry Palmer spy films. There are three movies that will give you a good survey of the genre: _Goldfinger_ (1964), _The Ipcress File_ (1965), and _Our Man Flint_ (1966). _Our Man Flint_ is itself a parody of spy films of that time. _The Ipcress File_ is Michael Caine's first Harry Palmer spy film and inspiration for Austin Powers' look. In fact, Michael Caine plays Austin's father in the third Austin Powers film.

A funny thing about the ransom, while $1 million was absurdly low (even in the 60s) for comedic effect, $100 billion was just as absurdly high in the 90s. Which is why the "UN" characters said they couldn't possibly gather that much money. Jump to 2020 Pandemic and every few months Congress is spending multi-trillions. 1 trillion = 1,000 billions.
