Who doesn’t know and most likely love the comedy stylings of one international man of mystery Austin Powers? If you grew up in the ’90s or were a product of Gen X, you came of age in the midst of the height of the Austin Powers franchise’s popularity.

In 1997, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery introduced the world to the crazy title character and his hilariously high-stakes career. But in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, the sequel to the first blockbuster, the bumbling spy once again faces off against Dr. Evil. Using a time machine, Dr. Evil travels back in time to 1969 to steal Austin Powers’ mojo. From there, it’s a wild back and forth of outlandish high jinks.

Few films can transport the viewer to a moment in time, but Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me can do just that. Whether it’s to the wild Austin Powers parody of the 1960s or simply to the late 90s soundtracked to “Beautiful Stranger” by Madonna, the Mike Myers-led laugh-out-loud comedy throws you right back.
