Second viewing; first viewing with original audio; previously viewed on September 20, 2002.
Dr. Evil builds a time machine and goes back in time to 1969. He has one of his agents steal Austin's mojo -- a bodily fluid responsible for sex drive -- from Austin's cryogenically stored body. Dr. Evil then carries out a new plan: to place a laser gun on the moon and demand ransom for not destroying Washington, D.C. with it. Austin travels back in time to recover his mojo and foil Dr. Evil's schemes.
Mostly enjoyable comedy. Its framework is a parody of spy movies in particular and the 60s in general. It is structured in comic sketches in a very TV-like manner, heavily character-driven and dialogue-driven. That choice of style puts a definite formulaic limit to the film's humorous scope.
