Additionally I am not so sure it is fair criticism of the Austen Powers movies to call them rip-offs when Myers was completely up-front about his movie being a genre spoof from the get-go. This isn't a defense of the movie's quality as it is completely mediocre. I think its success was due to America loving middle-of-the-road crap.

John Philip Law was also in another all-time great MST episode, Space Mutiny. "Oh Kalgan, take me away!"

For sure. Myers pretty much ripped-off "Diabolik!", the two James Coburn Flint movies, the train-wreck of the original "Casino Royale", "The Avengers", Vincent Price's campy "Dr. Goldfoot" films (ooh! I totally think one of those was directed by Brava!), even a bit of Michael Caine's "The Italian Job" - and of course the Connery "Bond" films, among others.

Not really an original idea in that series. I think the only reason it was as successful as it was, was simply because most of the audience wasn't familiar with the source material he was copying.

SHIT! I would have totally paid $10 for a good copy! No point in asking where now, though. :(
