40 free Austin Powers trivia questions with answers. Groovy, baby. The Austin Powers trilogy took the spy movie, ran it through the 1960s and turned one comedian into a one-man cast of heroes and villains. This quiz covers all three films: the frozen secret agent, his bald arch-nemesis and the tiny clone, the henchmen and Fembots, the catchphrases everyone still quotes, and the real stories behind the jokes. Expect questions on the many roles, the director and cast, the villain's schemes and his hairless cat, the Bond parodies, the title fight with the makers of James Bond, and the box-office numbers. It suits movie-trivia nights and anyone who can do the pinky-to-the-mouth gesture. Every answer is checked against Wikipedia's articles on the films and characters, and the source sentence appears under each question. Question stems are kept clean, so it works for a broad crowd.
