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. The movie also marked the debut of Mini-Me (played by Verne Troyer), Dr. Evil's deranged 1/8-size clone.

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, over 4 times the sales of the first Austin Powers movie.
