Austin Powers

Sir Austin Danger Powers, played by Mike Myers, is the title character of a series of parodies of 1960s spy films, primarily James Bond, Derek Flint, Harry Palmer, and Matt Helm, and an increasingly broad range of other elements of popular culture.

The satiric elements of the suave male super-spy cliché arise from Powers' lack of physical beauty – his bad teeth, for example, are made fun of in several scenes. (This is a reflection of an American stereotype of British people, who are said to have poor dental hygiene.)
