Entry When Austin and Felicity are looking through the binoculars at Dr. Evil's lair, the cord is round Austin's neck and Felicity keeps nearly strangling him. One time she yanks the cord and Austin is clearly pulled down into her lap, but in the next shot he's in between her breasts (when he goes "mummy, mummy"). [Austin goes out of camera, so you cannot see where his head ends up. Neither Felicity's breasts, nor lap, are visible in the shots, so this mistake is not valid, because you just can't tell.]
Time
Entry In the scene when Austin tells Felicity that Fat Bastard is at Paddington Station, they both pull out their guns. Felicity seems to pull her gun out of nowhere. Where could it possibly have been stashed in that skin tight, skimpy dress she is wearing? Surely a bulge would be visible? (I noticed plenty of curves, but no bulge!) [In all seriousness, the gun can be placed for easy accessibility between her upper thighs, with no bulges and perfectly hidden. Not unheard of, and absolutely plausible.]

Entry When Austin and Felicity need to go to the moon they get on the Apollo 11 which was launched 16th July 1969, but earlier in the movie, when Austin went to go and see his frozen self, a sign in the background said it was November 1969. [Actually, the sign in the background said "Current Date: May 27, 1969. Date frozen: November 11, 1967." So when Austin went to see his frozen self, it was nearly two months before Apollo 11 was launched.]
Time
Entry When travelling back to 1969, there is no reason why Austin's teeth would go back to their original state. [There is also no reason he should be able to travel back in time. It's a story, and one aspect is bad teeth.]
Time
Entry When Austin and Felicity go to see "Frozen Austin" Austin takes a photographer's camera and takes pictures of his frozen self, and then when he's finished he throws the camera back to the photographer. But later in Austin's "Shag Pad" he is developing the pictures. Though how could he? 1. The camera wasn't his and 2. He threw the camera back to the photographer. [The photographer could have sent the film to Austin or he could have sent it to Basil and Basil could have sent it to Austin.]
Time
Entry When Dr. Evil is going back in time, he tries, realizes it's not turned on, and tells Number 2 to turn it on. Then he calls for Mini Me to come along. If you thought he was going to make it through the first time wouldn't Mini Me come the first time? [Dr. Evil might have forgotten to call Mini Me the first time he was going to go through the time machine, and then he remembered and called him.]
Time
Entry In the final scene with Dr Evil he is giving Mini Me a "little prick" but if you look closely Mini Me hasn't got his trousers down and he is bent over. When he stands back up he can clearly be seen to pull his trousers back up, which were never actually down. [His pants are never down. He mimics the motion, but the fabric never moves.]
Time
Entry When Mini Me is inside Austin's pants, and then gets outside the moon base, Austin never pulls his pants down so that Mini Me can get out, and there's no sign of ripping in Austin's pants after that. [The air lock was supposed to have "sucked" Mini Me out of the moon base. The next time you can see all of Austin, he has changed clothes.]
Time
Entry When Austin spits the chess piece (pawn) and breaks the vase, it flies over Ivana's shoulder, who is sitting across from him. In the very next scene the broken vase has somehow moved "behind" Austin. [Austin turns before spitting it out, sending it sailing behind him.]
Time
Entry Right after the part with all of the "shh" jokes and the young Number 2 comes up, Dr. Evil starts hitting Number 2 with the bouncing earth ball. He does it three times, then Number 2 starts to cry, or at least he is supposed to be. He is really laughing. [Thats the whole point. The ball didnt hurt him, so he decide to get it over with and pretend to cry so he could sit down. Also, he thought it was funny so he just did it.]
Time
Entry Frau announced the countdown for Dr. Evil & Mini Me's departure to the moon, yet we later see her on the moon. [She could have taken a later ship. I'm sure that all the people in the moon units weren't on Dr. Evil's ship, so they must have used other transportation to get there. Frau could have been on one of the other ships.]
Time
Entry Number 2 was killed by Dr Evil at the end of Austin Powers 1,however, he appears in both this film and in Goldmember, both in chronologically later dates to when he was "killed". [He wasn't killed. He was dumped into the "fire death chamber" and burnt a little. He has burn scars on his face in the sequels to prove this.]

Entry When Austin was with Ivana Humpalot he rips open his shirt and snaps his necklace but in the next scene it's back together. [She doesn't snap his necklace. It just gets shoved to the side unbroken.]
Time
Entry In the scene where Austin and Ivona are "playing" chess the viewer can see when she is holding one of the chess pieces that her nails are not painted. But later on when she has another piece, her finger nails are painted red. They stay red for the rest of the scene. [The unpainted nails are Austin's, you can tell by the shape.]
Time
Entry In the scene where Felicity is in the glass tube, when Austin and Austin 10 min from then are talking about being sexy bitches, the gun from Austin's hand just disappears. [When Austin (ten minutes before) shoots Dr. Evil and Dr. Evil is telling him he can go back in time to save Felicity, Frau shoots the gun out of his hand. After Austin travels ten minutes into the past, you can see that he no longer has his gun. When Past-Austin is shooting just as future Austin was before, you can see future Austin (with no gun) pointing around the room. He is just reenacting what is supposed to happen, because right after this, he mouths the word "laser", signaling Dr. Evil to yell the command to fire the laser, just as he had before.]
Time
Entry Fat Bastard sings the Chili's babyback ribs song when he is talking about eating Mini-Me. However this is 1969 when that song let alone Chili's did not exist. [In both AP 2 and 3 it states that Fat Bastard is from modern ages and not from the past. Therefore he COULD know about Chili's.]
Time
Entry Near the end of the film, Dr. Evil declares that he is Austin's father. Austin believes him for a second. However, a flashback in 'Goldmember' reveals that Austin, Basil, no. 2 and Dr. Evil went to the same school at about the same age. Austin should have known that Dr. Evil wasn't his father. [Austin's an idiot.]
Time
Entry In the scene where Dr. Evil is explaining the "death star"  to his partners he says: "As you all know, the moon rotates around the Earth..."   This is wrong. The moon REVOLVES around the Earth, while rotating on its axis. There is a big difference, well, at least according the the New York State Earth Science regency... [The movie makers may have done this mistake on purpose to make Dr.Evil look stupid.]
Time
Entry Mustafa explains to Austin and Felicity that he can't stand being asked the same question 3 times, and so on the 3rd time, he answers. But just before Mustafa reveals this to them, he is asked a question by Felicity and he tells the answer straight away, instead of waiting for it to be asked 3 times. (Incidentally, the answer he gives to that question is that he can't stand being asked the same question 3 times.) [He only has to be asked three times if he doesn't want to give the answer. He has no problem telling Felicity he hates being asked the same question, it's only information about Dr. Evil that they have to force out of him.]
Time
Entry When Felicity and Austin are in the tent on Dr Evil's volcano island, and Felicity is pulling objects out of the bag, you can't see the shadows of any of the other objects in the tent, such as the table that the bag is sitting on. [It's highly likely that the table is in line with Austin's arms and legs. Also, not everything in the tent would be silhouetted, just everything between the light source and the tent canvas.]
