Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the second film in the Austin Powers series begun with Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and continued in Austin Powers in Goldmember.

 Salon | "Austin Powers"
Aside from that scene, "Austin Powers" fails to live up to its promise of gleefully juxtaposing the cheesy "sophistication" of '60s spy movies, and the swingin' pop culture that inspired them, with the straightened temperament of the '90s.
"Austin Powers," however, lurches from feeble stabs at wit to fart jokes, and pursues neither comic strategy with enough energy to please either faction of the audience.
But the biggest joke in "Austin Powers" ought to be the utter naiveté of what Austin sees as sophistication -- his generation's dippy notion that freedom could ever be a simple proposition.

 AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER - INFINIFILM WIDESCREEN DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Less esoterically, Goldmember, save Savage's mole (and a bit stolen gag for gag from the second Austin Powers film), is a boring and enervated comedy that limps around reeking of the pathetic and the desperate urge to be loved long after the passion for the thing has waned.
Ever since, however, the Austin Powers films have forgotten that there need to be foils and straight men in this type of comedy--without them, what you've created is a fish-in-water scenario, a perverse alternate universe that loses its novelty without anything recognizably human to provide commentary and comparison.
On an essential level, Austin Powers in Goldmember seems to understand that it's a slippery beast composed of a vast series of convoluted loops of signs and signifiers: a Japanese man named "Mr.

 IGN: Austin Powers
The third movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember, was a deadzone and completely devoid of any spirit the first two movies had.

The power of Christ compels you!" Again, this was completely unnecessary and it ruined a good bit for me. In a way, it seemed like they felt that had to hammer us over the head to make sure we didn't miss the joke.
On its own, the "power of Christ" bit would have been good, just as the priest line would have worked well; combined, however, they become redundant and spoil the humor.
The filmmakers could have used the success of the first movie to operate from a position of power and do something really creative and entertaining, but they took the safe route and opted to simple duplicate everything that got a laugh the first time.

 Austin Powers in Goldmember London Movie Review
However, the first sequel to Austin Powers was so abominably disappointing that it has left room for the 'threequel' to actually be an improvement.
The most important thing to say about Austin Powers 3 is that if you intend to see it, you should see it as close to its opening weekend as possible, because the best gags (including the hilarious opening sequence) are likely to be spoiled for you otherwise by Unscrupulous Reviewers.
For some reason, the plan also involves the kidnapping of Austin's father, Nigel Powers (complete with hilariously dodgy teeth and glasses), so Austin travels back in time to rescue his super-agent Dad and hooks up with an old girlfriend (an afro-wigged Beyoncé Knowles as 'Foxy Cleopatra') into the bargain.
