   • Mike Myers came up with the character after hockey practice. Myers once said in an interview that the origin of the Austin Powers character was, as he drove home from hockey practice one night, hearing the Burt Bacharach song “The Look of Love,” and wondering whatever became of ’60s swinger culture.
   • The character first appeared in Ming Tea. While Myers played lots of recurring characters on Saturday Night Live, Austin Powers didn’t come from there. The character actually started in Ming Tea, a mock band Myers formed along with a group of musicians, including Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, in the mid-1990s.
   • It was “30 to 40 percent” improvised. About a third of the film was improvised, Myers said in an interview around the time of its release, although it’s hard to say how significant that is when the credited screenwriter is also portraying both the hero and villain.
   • It was a big part of Cool Britannia. Cool Britannia was a cultural moment in the second half of the 1990s, coinciding with Tony Blair’s arrival as prime minister, in which British culture became cool around the world again.

   Is Dr Evil based on James Bond?

   • Much like Austin himself is a spot-on spoof of Bond, Dr. Evil is a pitch-perfect parody of Bond’s rogues’ gallery. While his appearance was clearly based on Blofeld, he’s a hilarious lampoon of every Bond villain. The obvious model for Dr. Evil’s appearance was James Bond’s arch-enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
