I liked his movies well enough, better than many of the movies done by the various casts of SNL.

My lord! you're a tripod.

I loved "The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Goldmember" but "International Man of Mystery" was kinda blah.

I mean come on, when when austin was driving hte little car in dr evils lair, and got stuck in the hallway going in reverse and forward and has like a inch of space, and he was actualy serious about it, LOL(i really laughed when i thought of that part, thanks for bringing this movie up!!). Oh, and when he's looking at the history on tape of what happend while he was frozen, the thing that was most important to him was "Yeah, and i cant belive Liberatchy(spelling???) was gay, women loved him."

He was taken directly from the Derek Flint character in the "In Like Flint" movie series from the 60's. He acted a lot like Austin did (only seriously), and a lot of the jokes were takeoffs from those movies. It makes things a LOT funnier if you've seen the Flint movies before. They play them from time to time on AMC.

Isn't the sound that plays whenever he gets a call from Basil taken directly from the Flint movies as well?
