Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) is New Line Cinema's spy spoof comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Jay Roach handed writer-star Mike Myers the keys to both hero and villain: Austin Powers, Britain's groovier-than-thou secret agent, and Dr. Evil, the bald megalomaniac demanding one hundred billion dollars from the world's governments.

Austin spent the last thirty years in a cryogenic chamber — frozen at the height of Swinging London and thawed into the mid-'90s. His partner Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) tries to keep him professional. It doesn't quite take. Meanwhile Dr. Evil, equally clueless about the modern world, runs his criminal operation from a hollowed-out volcano and bickers with his teenage son Scott (Seth Green) over basic matters of menace.

The film launched a franchise, coined a dozen catchphrases, and showed that a $16.5 million comedy could build a cultural phenomenon one joke at a time. Stream Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) online on iFILM.
