Continuity mistake: In the scene where the Frau visits Dr. Evil in prison, the guards' position in the background changes from shot to shot - arms crossed, on the side, hands folded...
Continuity mistake: The rearview mirror of the BMW Mini is visible during the exterior shots of the car. However, in all the interior shots it's gone.
Continuity mistake: In the scene that Austin is talking to Fat Bastard just after he jumps trough the bathtub, there are two fat guys behind him, in the next shot, one of them is in a different place.
Continuity mistake: When Austin and Foxxy are in the Shaguar lookin at photos of Mr. Robato, there is one pic of Robato and Goldmember inside the factory. That picture is a frame from when you actually see the two in the factory loading Preparation H and Goldmember receiving the key.
Continuity mistake: During Goldmember's entrance scene, one can see a black female skater behind him on his right and a white female skater behind him on his left. When they all get to the bottom of the ramp, the two skaters have switched places.
Continuity mistake: The plate of asparagus in the fountain room is not seen when Austin first enters the room. When Austin plugs the fountain back in, the plate disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Austin and Foxy are in the time machine leaving the club about to travel to 2002, Foxy is wearing large gold hoop earrings, but after the first shot she only has one earring in (the left ear).
Continuity mistake: When Austin kicks Mini Me, the knife and envelope are dropped under him. Two shots later, the knife is still there but the envelope has vanished.
Continuity mistake: During the beginning credits with Tom Cruise as Austin Powers, he parachutes into his car. The sky during this sequence goes from a few clouds (mostly just blue sky) to overcast, and back to blue sky and a few clouds.
Continuity mistake: When Austin, Foxxy, and Mini-Me come out of the chamber from outside the sub, the water spilling out goes into a drainage grate below the door. However, the amount of water on the floor increases without very much coming out from the door.
Continuity mistake: The amount of urine (apple juice) that Austin hands to the doctor seems to vary up and down between shots as he's spilling it all over.
Continuity mistake: The box of chocolate in front of Scotty keeps moves closer and farther away from him from shot to shot.
Continuity mistake: When we first arrive at the club in 1975, the 3 women are singing on stage. The woman's mic stand on the right has the wires all neatly hidden however when we have the shot from behind the stage the wire on her mic he hanging off freely to the side.
Continuity mistake: When they are behind the Hollywood sign in the beginning of the movie, Number 2's Starbucks cup logo on the holder keeps facing different directions from shot to shot even though he's not touching it.
Continuity mistake: When the Shaguar is driving towards the helicopter, before Austin ejects the seat, the car is very close to the helicopter, but in a wider shot it keeps the distance, despite both moving really fast.
Continuity mistake: Austin is flying over the middle part of the helicopter and firing at it. When the angle changes and the helicopter explodes, he's nowhere to be seen.
Answer: An original cut featured the opening scene with Heather Graham in it (I'm not sure what happens) - I'm assuming they dropped that idea when they could get hold of all the cameo stars. Hopefully it'll surface on the DVD.
Reportedly she left Austin because he couldn't get over Vanessa.
