The Year Austin Powers Launched: 1997
Mark your calendars, groovy mamas and papas! Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery first premiered in theaters on May 2nd, 1997. That's right, a whole 27 years ago! Buckle up for a trip down memory lane where lava lamps were hot, fanny packs were everywhere, and a man in a velour jumpsuit could still be considered a total catch.

Well, believe it or not, Mike Myers (the mastermind behind Austin Powers) had been working on the concept since the early 90s. Can you imagine a world without Austin Powers for even a few more years? Shudder. Luckily, the wait was worth it. The film became a cult classic, spawning two sequels (The Spy Who Shagged Me and Goldmember), countless catchphrases, and a newfound appreciation for all things 60s.
