Continuity mistake: In the room with the fountain in the factory, there is a plant next to each of the 3 doors (Research, Offices and Factory). There is a plant to the right of the office door. But when one of the guards enters (and also Foxxy later), the plant is not there. (00:57:05)
Continuity mistake: When Austin is beating up poor little Mini Me, he smashes Mini Me through the glass table and it shatters. Even though there are two tables in the room it's the glass table that you can see through the screen door. But then they show a clip of the "Mole" guy talking to Basil on the phone with the table on the right side of the screen perfectly intact. (01:04:25)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Austin Powers is on Mini Me's shoulders, Austin picks up and throws a henchman's sailor hat in the air. It lands in a very visible spot, but when there is a close-up on Mini Me's legs, the hat is gone. It shows up again right after that. (01:11:00)
Continuity mistake: When Austin and Mini Me are doing the famous shadow scene in this movie, Mini Me blows up a rubber glove and as you can see Austin has his back facing the camera, but when they show the shadow they are casting Austin is facing the opposite way. (01:13:15)
Continuity mistake: When Austin and Mini Me are behind the screen in the examination room aboard the submarine, the second sailor to be examined witnesses Mini Me drop out from under Austin, somewhat resembling a woman giving birth to a child. Mini Me does not have hair when he drops out from under Austin, however, in the next shot, Mini Me is shown getting up, and he has his wig on. (01:13:50)
Continuity mistake: When Goldmember is electrocuted, the post in front of him snaps and falls with him. However, when we see him on the floor, there is no sign of it. (01:21:40)
Continuity mistake: Just after Number 2 pulls the globe off of Dr. Evil's head, in one of the next few shots all of the glass disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Fook Mi and Fook Yu are standing with their backs to Austin, they start laughing. In the next scene which is about a second later, they are facing Austin.
Continuity mistake: When Austin first makes his entrance in the 70s, there is a close-up shot of his feet in which his coat is dragging on the floor. The next shot shows his whole body, and the coat now only reaches his ankles.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Austin, Mini Me and Foxxy enter the sub, they are all wearing fins. Foxxy takes her cap off and her hair expands, and Mini Me makes out with her leg. Mini Me and Foxxy are no longer wearing Finns and they are not close by as if they had just slipped out of them.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Austin is in Goldmember's Office in Studio 69, the camera pans down to Foxy's feet, and she is wearing gold platform shoes. In the next shot after Goldmember takes Nigel out in the time machine, Austin and Foxy run out the door and Foxy is wearing sneakers. She runs from behind the desk and out the door, never having time to change her shoes.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Austin is attempting to rescue his father, Goldmember gets behind a screen to change into different clothes. When Goldmember takes off his robe, you can see that his crotch is glowing gold...But when his clothes come back on, the glowing doesn't stop.
Continuity mistake: Just after Dr Evil gets the globe on his head, there is a man on his left with a giant screw-wrench in his hand. The shot later, there is also a woman and the screw-wrench has disappeared. Another shot later, the woman has disappeared and after that, the man.

Continuity mistake: Just after Dr. Evil reveals his evil plan, he puts the remote that he was using on the table. If you look at the remote throughout the scene from facing fowards to facing to the viewers' right.
Continuity mistake: The first time we see the "Mole", he is in Dr. Evil's Hollywood Lair. When he brings Dr. Evil his chair, there is a close-up on his mole, which has no hair on it. In Austin's "Pad", when Basil comes in to tell Austin and Foxxy about the Mole, there is a close-up on his mole again, but this time there are two little hairs sticking out.
Continuity mistake: In the first scene that we see Austin on the shoulders of Mini Me, they have problems walking and Austin slams a big water bottle on the ground. A few moments later, we see a shot and the big water bottle is not on the ground.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Basil interrupts Austin and the Japanese twins, look behind Basil. In several of the shots toward him and you can see a guy in orange and someone else dancing. In the next shot, about a second later, the guy is propped up against the wall. Pretty quick, huh?
Continuity mistake: When Number 2 removes the Globe off Dr Evil's head, there is no hole below.
Continuity mistake: Austin Powers was scheduled to be knighted at the end of the first movie. It shouldn't have taken 5 years for him to be knighted.
Answer: In the first Austin Powers when he is talking about his two fears, one of them was carnies. He then said they have small hands and smell like cabbage. Most likely then Mini-Me reminded him of a carny.
