    If you go back and watch the Sean Connery Bond films they were satirizing, Austin Powers was a much better person than James Bond. Better agent, too. Bond kinda sucked.

    Also, those Bond films were thirty years before Austin Powers. If you wanted to make a similar movie today, you’d have to be satirizing Austin Powers. Maybe that could work, a meta-satiricial send-up of 90’s and early 00’s satirical movies. Maybe even the last third of the film gets ironically nostalgic for the first third of the same film. "Remember when we did that pre-opening action sequence?

      It wouldn’t be satirizing Austin Powers; it’d be satirizing Pierce Brosnan’s Bond.

      I was gonna say I’d watch that movie but it wouldn’t compare to my imagination so I’m just gonna thank you for the movie I just imagined.
