Continuity mistake: When Austin and Foxxy are confusing Mr. Roboto's words, the plate of food on the table changes between shots. Sometimes it is in front of Austin (even after Foxxy moves it), sometimes it is in front of Foxxy, and sometimes it is missing altogether.

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Austin is beating up Mini Me in his apartment, you can see that the lamp is knocked over already. A couple of shots later we see Austin knocking over the same lamp.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Nigel is telling the henchmen how he is going to beat them up, five out of his six coat buttons are undone. However, when Mini Me is leading Nigel into the room, all his buttons are done up, but Nigel wouldn't have had any time to do up his buttons if Mini Me was pointing a gun at him.

Continuity mistake: When we see a flashback of the Powers's car blowing up, the license plate flies off. However, when Nigel is looking at the burning car, the license plate is still on.

Continuity mistake: After Austin says that he does not want a mushroom, the maid takes the tray away, but just before the maid takes the tray away you can see that the mushrooms have switched places with something else.

Jackie Menechino

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Austin is in the room with the fountain, he trips over the cord and the water fountain stops running. The Japanese man on the telephone looks over to see what has happened and then looks over again.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, Steven Spielberg is holding the Oscar in his hand, but in the next shot, he isn't holding it, with no time to put it down between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Austin is fighting the ninjas, Foxxy Cleopatra is seen leaning on a pillar behind. In one shot she is seen standing up and walking away. There is a shot of Austin fighting and then a shot of her, where she can be seen doing exactly what she did seconds before.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dr. Evil sees the gold key is missing and Foxxy walks in with it, a far shot shows her entering with a gun in her right hand, pointing up by her head. In the next shot, a close-up view, the gun is pointing straight down.

Audio problem: In the scene where Fat Bastard is taking a dump you see his shadow through that wall thing. However his mouth isn't moving in time with the words you hear him say.

Factual error: The Hollywood sign is over 350' wide and would not have been visible outside Dr. Evil's lair given how small the opening was and the perspective we see it from.

Deliberate mistake: When Mr. Roboto is offering Austin a mushroom, the subtitles lead Austin to think Mr. Roboto is asking him to eat some shit, until Foxy reveals more of the subtitles to say "Please eat some shitake mushrooms." The correct spelling for this kind of mushroom is "shiitake." They had to cheat on the spelling in order to make the joke work.

Continuity mistake: When we are first introduced to the Mole, his mole is very close to his nose. When they show a close-up of the mole, however, it further down and closer to his lip than it was before. In the next shot, it's up by his nose again.

Continuity mistake: When Goldmember first drives into the submarine, you can see some boxes and tanks to the right of the submarine, when Austin and Foxxy arrive when the sub submerges, the boxes and tanks have disappeared.

Continuity mistake: When Mike Myers is Austin Powers and is talking to himself as Dr. Evil, if you watch his medallion, it is constantly twirling between shots. You may think it's because he was moving around, but he was not moving his upper body at all. The arrow even tucks inside of the jacket for one shot.

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the start of the film where Dr. Evil is having a laugh with everyone, you can see in one shot that Scott's hand position changes slightly.

Austin Powers: Mole! Bloody mole! We aren't supposed to talk about the bloody mole, but there's a bloody mole winking me in the face! I want to cut it off, chop it off, and make guacaMOLE!

Trivia: The content of the email received by Austin while he is demonstrating the internet is 'A new ATM card will be sent to you by Fed-Ex because your account has ben compromised by an unknown hacker who obtained your PIN Number while you were purchasing an MP3 Player on E-Bay. Sincerely, Your Bank.' This was included because Mike Myers really did have his bank account compromised shortly before filming. (00:38:37)

Question: I don't get this: When Nigel Powers is first taken to the submarine, at one point he looks down, sees Mini Me and says "I thought I smelt cabbage." What's that all about?

Answer: In the first Austin Powers when he is talking about his two fears, one of them was carnies. He then said they have small hands and smell like cabbage. Most likely then Mini-Me reminded him of a carny.

Lummie

Answer: I thought cabbage patch kid.
