Description: In the 1999 film “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,” the British spy Austin Powers faces a shocking turn of events during his honeymoon with his wife, Vanessa Kensington. Vanessa is revealed to be a fembot controlled by Dr. Evil, who causes her to self-destruct after a failed assassination attempt on Austin. Despite the loss, Austin quickly embraces his newfound freedom, ready to pursue casual relationships. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil returns from space, confronts his son Scott, and stages a dramatic coup on “The Jerry Springer Show.” At his Seattle headquarters, Dr. Evil introduces Mini-Me, a small clone of himself.
Dr. Evil, now equipped with a time machine, devises a plan to travel back to the 1960s and steal Austin’s mojo—the essence of his charm and appeal. Accompanied by Mini-Me, Dr. Evil journeys to 1969, where they team up with a younger Number 2 and Frau Farbissina. Austin’s mojo is extracted from his frozen body by Fat Bastard, a large Scottish guard. Back in the present, Austin is warned by British intelligence about Dr. Evil’s plot. While on a photoshoot, he is seduced by Ivana Humpalot, who ultimately spares his life, stating he’s too attractive to kill. However, Austin soon discovers he’s lost his mojo and becomes impotent.
Sent back to 1969 in a time-traveling Volkswagen Beetle, Austin attends a party at his London residence. With the help of CIA agent Felicity Shagwell, he narrowly escapes an assassination attempt by Dr. Evil’s henchmen. Pursued by another operative, Mustafa, Austin learns of Dr. Evil’s secret volcano lair. After Fat Bastard delivers Austin’s stolen mojo to Dr. Evil, Austin identifies him as the culprit behind the theft. The story unfolds with a mix of action, humor, and absurdity as Austin fights to reclaim his mojo and thwart Dr. Evil’s schemes.
