Some of the jokes still work for me, but I’m in the camp that the first Austin Powers movie is the only good one, because it’s the only one with a heart beneath all the tastelessness. The Spy Who Shagged Me, by contrast, has a real sleaziness and nastiness beneath the gags, to the point that Mike Myers and director Jay Roach really seem to loathe all their characters, including Austin and Dr. Evil. It’s weird, but I’ve had that feeling every time I’ve watched the movie.

It’s weird, but I’ve had that feeling every time I’ve watched the movie. Sure you're not getting them mixed up? I watched them back to back and the first one has way more sexual innuendo. It’s not the sexual innuendo, which is, well, just this series. It’s that the first has a heart along with the sex and fart jokes—the Burt Bacharach scene, Austin’s “freedom, man” speech. The Austin character in the first one is a lovable goofball—and the main focus of the movie. The second one blows all that up when it blows Elizabeth Hurley up and has an overjoyed Austin say, “Wait a tic! That means I’m single!” The first movie has a genuine character arc for Austin; the second makes that character arc just another joke. The second one still seems a sleazy, nasty little picture to me in a way that the first doesn’t.

That one didn't show up under "austin powers" or "the spy who shagged me," forum search. The first one did when I searched the title so I didn't make a thread for it. I don't know what else to tell you.
