Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) - 86 mistakes

Directed by Jay Roach, starring Heather Graham, Michael York, Mike Myers, Mindy Sterling, Rob Lowe, Robert Wagner, Seth Green, Verne Troyer, Will Ferrell (add more)

Please note: Scott was NOT a test tube baby (watch all the way through the credits). He WAS conceived that night by Frau Farbissna and Dr. Evil, and therefore he SHOULD be about 29/30. It IS a mistake.

Mistake Continuity: When Felicity says "You better play it cool. Your friend works for Dr. Evil," both Austin and Felicity are facing the same direction, but at the end of the last shot you can see them in the distance facing each other.

Mistake Factual error: The song American Woman by The Guess Who is being played in the nightclub when Austin goes back to 1969. Cool song, but it wasn't released until 1970.

Mistake Continuity: In many shots throughout the film, the scar on Dr. Evil's cheek disappears and appears again.

Mistake Continuity: In the shot where Rob Lowe is telling Dr. Evil that Mini Me bites, he holds up his right hand a few seconds before showing Dr. Evil the wounds Mini Me had done to him. Then when he really shows Dr. Evil the wounds, cuts and bandages suddenly appear from nowhere. How could he of gotten the bite marks and bandages so quickly? It's just not possible.

Mistake Continuity: Watch the toppings on the cookie Mini-Me eats in the middle of the movie. Before Number 2 starts to tell Dr. Evil that Mini-Me bites, there is only one chocolate chip (or raisin) on the cookie. When Dr. Evil asks Mini-Me if there is anything he'd like to say, the cookie has more chocolate chips (or raisins).

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: During the fight scene between Mini Me and Austin, as Mini Me crawls his way into Austin's space suit we see Mini Me's legs moving. On the wide shot, when slowed down, you can clearly see the head of the puppeteer of the fake legs just behind Austin's left shoulder.

Mistake Continuity: At the start the astronaut is working on the satellite and turns around fully, then stops and sees Big Boy. The camera changes angle and the astronaut is still turning around.

Mistake Continuity: In the lab scene (with the coffee gag) Basil looks much younger than he does in the 90s. However, earlier when Basil asked Felicity to plant the homing device on Fat Bastard, he looked the same as he did in the 90s. He should have looked younger both times.

Mistake Continuity: When Dr. Evil is demonstrating his "moon laser" - the inflatable earth with the target on it keeps changing position where the laser is pointing at the target and then other times significantly above it.

Mistake Continuity: When Dr. Evil is about to spend a night with Frau Farbissina, the collar of his shirt is different from the white collar you can see under his grey jacket during the rest of the film.

Mistake Continuity: In the whole movie, Dr. Evil's head switches from completely bald, to shaven. Also, in the scene when Austin is in his blue jumper in The Allan Parsons Project's main chamber, you can clearly see Dr. Evil's stand in and he's about 6 inches taller.

Mistake Continuity: During the first scene of the movie with the robot android, when Austin's been blown up by the explosion, his glasses change from broken to perfect between shots.

Mistake Other: When Frau shoots the gun out of Austin's hand, she fires from behind his back. The spark from the bullet impact is on the front of the gun which Austin is holding in front of him. One of those new boomerang bullets?

Mistake Factual error: When we have the last montage of jokes about the shape of Dr. Evil's rocket, it is 1969. You can tell from the clothes and the fact that Dr. Evil left in the rocket from the moon base and Austin and Felicity had to go forward in time from the moon base to get back. Now in this montage we see Woody Harrelson (in a cameo) who is apparently an accomplished actor in 1969. One small problem: Harrelson was born on July 23, 1961 and therefore would be around 8 years old.

Mistake Continuity: When Mini Me is first ejected into space, you see him just flying backwards, yet in the next shot he is rotating freely.

Mistake Continuity: When Dr. Evil is demonstrating how his "Death Star" will work, he lines up the "laser" with Washington D.C. Then later on when he is arguing with his son Scott, the "laser" has moved way above Washington D.C.

Mistake Continuity: When Austin is fighting with Mustafa at the side of the road, we see a red London telephone box. But if you look inside, you can spot a modern day push button phone. No way were these around in the 60`s!

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the movie when Felicity Shagwell is with Austin in the 90's, they are in Austin's new pad. Felicity is wearing a multi-coloured top. After she turns on the lights and all the party goers enter, Felicity goes over to Austin. There, she's wearing a white top. How could she have changed so fast?

Mistake Other: In the scene when Austin is rising out of the pool in the beginning, the water that shoots out of the platform he is standing on is actually going into the water shooter/sprinkler instead of coming out. This is due to reversing the film (so he comes out dry), but hey, it still looks weird.

Mistake Continuity: After they defeated Dr.Evil, Austin and Vanessa were married six months later, so the year would have been around mid to late 1997 or early 1998 when they were on there honeymoon. But in the second one, it's 1999 and they are still on their honeymoon. Do you think that they would have had their honeymoon for a year and a half?
