    Austin Powers deserves more credit, cause it was full of gags that many people didnt notice, and they only latched on to the obvious ones.

      I grew up watching all the James Bond movies on repeat and Austin Powers really does an amazing job parodying them.

        Listening to Kill James Bond has given me a completely new perspective on Austin Powers. I was too young to catch many of the ways it lampshaded the 007 franchise's shortcomings when I first saw it, so I didn't realize how incisive it was until I listened to a podcast about Spooky Ghosts and a Stupid Policeman.

        it was like a Zucker Bros movie with background gags you'll miss until you're 2nd or 3rd viewing

        Sometimes it just does a shot for shot remake of the scene and it's obviously ridiculous when Sean Connery isn't taking up all the stage presence.
