- Quotes
Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it.
- Crazy creditsThe final credits include scenes of a photo shoot with Austin Powers, as well as a music video of the song "BBC" by Ming Tea.
- Alternate versionsIn edited for TV versions, Dr. Evil's "shaved testicles/scrotum" dialogue is replaced with alternate, less racy dialogue about going to evil medical school. Despite this, the disgusted reactions from other people in the group are still intact.
