What happens

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is a 1999 American spy comedy film written by Mike Myers and directed by Jay Roach. It is the second installment in the Austin Powers film series, after Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). It stars Myers as Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and Fat Bastard, alongside Heather Graham, Michael York, Robert Wagner, Seth Green, Mindy Sterling, Rob Lowe, and Elizabeth Hurley. The plot follows the British spy Austin Powers and the criminal mastermind Dr. Evil as they attempt to defeat each other. The film's title is a play on the title of the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
