Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me is the second film in the Austin Powers series started with Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and continued in Austin Powers in Goldmember. Released in 1999, the film was written by and stars Michael Myers as Austin Powers; his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil (also played by Myers) goes back in time to the 1960s to steal Austin's mojo, with the help of Fat Bastard (again played by Myers). The movie also marked the debut of Mini-Me (played by Verne Troyer), Dr. Evil's deranged 1/8-size clone. Also present is Heather Graham, who played Austin's partner Felicity Shagwell.
As with the other Austin Powers films, this one is a parody of spy films, especially the James Bond films. Specifically, the title was a play on the Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.
The film grossed around US$310 million in worldwide ticket sales, making more money than the entire sales of the first Austin Powers movie in just the opening weekend.
