Later a secret of parentage is revealed, "Star Wars"-style. Evil's son Scott ( Seth Green) appears, complaining that he hates his dad. Early in the movie, in a funny sequence set on "The Jerry Springer Show," Dr. (In case you were wondering, a beaker of mojo looks like Kool-Aid with licorice ropes floating in it.) I didn't use a stopwatch, but my guess is that Evil has more screen time than Austin this time. Thirsting for revenge after being exiled into earth orbit, Evil wants to travel through time to when Powers was cryogenically frozen, and steal his mojo.

"The Spy Who Shagged Me" seems to forget that Austin is a man out of his time there are few laughs based on the fact that he's 30 years past his sell-by date, and there's so much time travel in this movie that half of the time he's back in the '60s again. This second film doesn't want to be a satire so much as just zany, raunchy slapstick.
The other satirical target was the James Bond series. The key to a lot of the humor in the first film was that Austin Powers had been transported lock, stock and barrel from the '60s to the '90s, where he was a sexist anachronism.
