Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me

Workprint

International Man of Mystery Austin Powers returns in this outrageous 1999 sequel, once again facing his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. After travelling back in time to 1969, Dr. Evil devises a scheme to steal Austin's legendary mojo, robbing the British superspy of his irresistible charm and confidence. Determined to recover what has been stolen, Austin travels back to the swinging sixties, where he joins forces with the beautiful American CIA agent Felicity Shagwell. Together, they uncover Dr. Evil's latest plan for world domination, involving a giant laser on the Moon, a miniature clone named Mini-Me and the enormously unpleasant Scottish henchman Fat Bastard. Filled with outrageous humour, colourful characters, psychedelic visuals and parodies of classic James Bond adventures, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me became one of the most successful comedy sequels of the late 1990s.

THE DIFFERENCES

What changed in this version?

This rare pre-release workprint represents an earlier edit of the film before its final theatrical presentation in June 1999.

Running approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, the workprint contains numerous additional scenes, alternate material and a different ending. However, it also omits certain sequences that appear in the completed theatrical version.

Collectors have documented the version in widescreen with visible studio markings, circulating in comparatively poor-quality standard-definition copies. 

Differences from the theatrical release

  • Additional scenes: Numerous sequences absent from the theatrical version.
  • Extended running time: The documented workprint runs approximately 15 minutes longer overall than the 95-minute theatrical cut.
  • Alternate ending: Collector records identify a different conclusion to the film.
  • Missing footage: Some scenes from the final release are absent, meaning this is not simply an extended edition.
  • Earlier editing: The workprint preserves a preliminary arrangement of the film, before its final release structure was established.
  • Studio markings: The documented copy contains property stamps identifying it as pre-release material.
  • Picture quality: Circulating copies have significantly lower picture quality than official home-video releases.
