and kill Austin
Powers when he's on the crapper or something?" –

is more of the same, and by "more" I mean, bloody wonderful more!
Plot Summary:
Once again Austin Powers must square off against his nemesis,
Dr. Evil. Only this time, His Baldness has been, that's right,
cloned, in the form of the 2 ft. 6 in. Mini-Me - a little person
with a big temper. Austin Powers has mysteriously lost his "mojo",
so he
travels back to 1969 and enlists blonde-bombshell CIA Agent
Felicity Shagwell. Together they take on Dr. Evil and his most
notorious henchman, the nasty Fat Bastard!
Dad's Preview:
If you liked
Austin Powers:
International Man of Mystery (1997) this
raunchy, hilarious romp will thrill you. This is a
confident comedian, Mike Myers, at the peak of his
creative mastery. Part of why these films are so funny
is that Powers can be sexist, and he gets a pass because
he literally is from a time when that was somewhat
excepted. He gets most of the laughs at his own
expense... and I can laugh at that all day long.
