Revealing mistake: In the scene when Austin Powers goes to visit Dr. Evil in prison to ask about his father there is a shot of Dr. Evil with Austin's head partially in it. If you look at his reflection in the glass, you see he looks nothing like Austin. The person in the reflection is actually a body double. (00:21:20)

Revealing mistake: When Austin first sees Foxxy in the nightclub, she is singing with two back up girls and doing the same dance moves as the back up singers are doing. You clearly see that the back up singers dance to the right and Foxxy goes to the left, then corrects herself. (00:24:30)

Revealing mistake: During Dr. Evil's prison rap, there is a group of girls circling around Mini Me. One of them has her chest pixelated to create the illusion that she's topless. However, you can still tell that she has a top on, because you can see shades of gray in the pixelation.
